Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system controllers are described herein. One HVAC controller includes a user interface configured to receive an indication of whether there is a positive or negative relationship between each of a number of controlled variables of an HVAC system and each of a number of manipulated variables of the HVAC system, a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to determine operating parameters for each of the number of manipulated variables, wherein the determined operating parameters are determined based, at least in part, on whether there is a positive or negative relationship between each respective controlled variable and each respective manipulated variable, and the determined operating parameters are not based on system dynamics and disturbances associated with the HVAC system. The determined operating parameters may be optimal with respect to the current condition of the HVAC system.

Systems and methods for processing and analyzing samples are disclosed. The system may process samples, such as biological fluids, using assay cartridges which can be processed at different processing locations. In some cases, the system can be used for PCR processing. The different processing locations may include a preparation location where samples can be prepared and an analysis location where samples can be analyzed. To assist with the preparation of samples, the system may also include a number of processing stations which may include processing lanes. During the analysis of samples, in some cases, thermal cycler modules and an appropriate optical detection system can be used to detect the presence or absence of certain nucleic acid sequences in the samples. The system can be used to accurately and rapidly process samples.

摘要:
A triggerable power transmitter for power transmission from a primary coil to an inductively coupled secondary coil in a power receiver has a primary coil; a driver for electrically driving the primary coil; a front end receiving analog signal indicative of resonance properties of the primary coil and generating digital information in response to the analog signal; and a processor capable of: determining if said primary coil is coupled to a secondary coil based on the digital information, and triggering power from the primary coil to said secondary coil when said primary coil is inductively coupled to said secondary coil. The effective inductance of the primary coil increases reducing the resonance frequency when a secondary coil is inductively coupled to the primary coil. However, foreign material such as a metal sheet placed on the primary coil increases the effective resistance thus shortening the decay time of the resonance.
