摘要:
A device (1) for housing a scientific sample comprising at least one sample well (2) and an on-board buffering substance (3) wherein the onboard buffering substance (3) at least partly surrounds the sample well (2). The on-board buffering substance (3) may be in the form of a matrix, such as a gel-like matrix. The device (1) may further comprise an insulating means. Also described is a substance for use in culturing and/or assaying a sample whereby the substance provides atmospheric and thermal buffering. The invention further provides a lid for a single-well or multi-well sample plate, the lid being configured to facilitate delivery of a sample through the lid into a well, and for sealing the well. The lid comprises moveable portions (52, 53) that have at least one orifice (54, 57) formed through the moveable portions (52, 53) such that a conduit is formed by alignment of the orifices (54, 57) of both the lid portions (52, 53).
摘要:
A device comprising a plurality of sample wells wherein the device has a plurality of compartments, each compartment surrounding at least one well. The compartments are defined by compartment wall means. The compartment wall means may be associated with at least one well or the compartment wall means may be associated with a group of wells. The compartment may house an environmental buffering system.

A system and method for initiating and processing banking deposits. In a preferred embodiment, the system is maintained by a financial institution such as a bank and the bank customers access the system through the Internet. A typical bank customer is a corporate treasurer. The system provides a Graphical User Interface that allows the customers to view the bank's current rates for a plurality of currencies and a plurality of time periods. The time periods for the deposits typically range from overnight to several months. Once the customer has found a time period/rate/currency that is acceptable, the customer selects the desired rate on the customer interface and the system automatically generates a deal ticket that is presented to the customer. The customer can then modify the settlement date, the settlement instructions and the amount of the deposit. Once the customer is satisfied with the deal, the customer submits it for trading. In an important aspect of the present invention, the confirmation of the trade occurs online and real time. Once the customer accepts the deal, it is logged. The system has further utilities for the customers to view archives of previous deals, establish profiles and preferences and chat with bank representatives. The system further includes state of the art security in order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the banking transactions.

A kit comprising an adapter, having a slip end and a reverse-threaded end, and a pipe nipple having standard threads on one end and reversed threads on the other end. And the kit has PVC or other pipe cement, fittings with standard slip threaded connections blades, saws, cutters, or other irrigation pipe cutters, and valves, among other components. A method for repairing a valve manifold with the steps of cutting a pipe system near a broken component (such as a valve); connecting a slip end of an adapter having a slip end and a reverse-threaded end to the system (sometimes gluing the connection with cement); removing the broken component from the system; attaching a replacement for the broken component; supplying a pipe nipple having a threaded end and a reverse-threaded end; inserting the pipe nipple into the normal threaded end and the reverse-threaded end; and tightening the pipe nipple to yield sealed joints.
