    摘要: Methods comprising measuring the impedance of the electrode produced by the excitation signal, wherein the impedance indicates presence of liquid at the electrode are disclosed. Computer readable mediums storing processor executable instructions for performing the method, and systems are also disclosed. The systems comprise a processor, memory and code stored in the memory that when executed cause the processor at least to: receive an output voltage signal, superimpose an excitation signal onto the output voltage signal to produce a superimposed signal, connect the superimposed signal to an electrode in a droplet actuator, suppress the output voltage signal, when detecting an impedance of the electrode, and measure the impedance of the electrode produced by the excitation signal, wherein the impedance indicates presence of liquid at the electrode.

    摘要: A method for fine decomposition in finite element mesh generation, in which a polygonal boundary of a domain is input into the system by an analyst and the domain is automatically divided into rough elements generally corresponding to Voronoi regions, that is, regions which are closer to respective ones of the polygonal line segments or reflex vertices therebetween. Any arc portion of these regions is converted to a straight line. Additional lines are formed between interior vertices of the rough regions so that all rough regions are either triangles or trapezoids. Adjacent rough regions are then paired across internal boundaries and are classified into four types. The rough regions are then subdivided into fine regions of triangular shape according to rules associated with each of the four types. The degree of fine subdivision can be controlled according to known equations providing the total number of fine elements. Finite difference equations are solved on the so generated fine regions and a physical variable is displayed in pictorial form. The analyst then readjusts the domain boundary and repeats the process.

    摘要: A method, amenable to automation, for generating finite elements of a geometric model. The model is first subdivided into coarse subdomains and then the coarse subdomains are further subdivided. The coarse subdivision is performed using a symmetric axis transform which generates axes symmetric to opposing boundaries of the object. The transform also generates a radius function of the axes giving the distance between the axes and the boundaries. A coarse subdomain is created between each single non-branching section of the axes and one of its associated boundaries. The fine subdivisions of the relatively simple coarse subdomains is performed by well known techniques or can beneficially use the radius function.

Among other things, the droplet actuators and methods are useful for manipulating beads on a droplet actuator, such as conducting droplet operations using bead-containing droplets on a droplet actuator. For example, beads may be manipulated on a droplet actuator in the context of executing a sample preparation protocol and/or an assay protocol. An output of the methods of the invention may be beads prepared for execution of an assay protocol. Another output of the methods of the invention may be results of an assay protocol executed using beads. Among the methods described herein are methods of concentrating beads in droplets, methods of washing beads, methods of suspending beads, methods of separating beads, methods of localizing beads within a droplet, methods of forming emulsions in which droplets include beads, methods of loading beads into a droplet operations gap of a droplet actuator, methods of organizing beads in a monolayer, and methods of capturing, trapping or restraining beads.
