    摘要: The invention provides photonic crystal optical demultiplexer devices produced from a three-dimensionally-periodic, porous, dielectric, photonic crystalline structure, which has surfaces or interfaces that are inverse replicas of the surfaces of a monodispersed sphere array. Such a photonic crystal optical demultiplexer comprises a three-dimensionally-periodic, porous, dielectric, photonic crystalline structure, which structure has surfaces or interfaces that are inverse replicas of the surfaces of a monodispersed sphere array, wherein necks exists between neighboring spheres in said sphere array and the average sphere diameter does not exceed about 1000 nm. A first optical waveguide is positioned to direct a broad wavelength band of incident light onto the crystalline structure. A second optical waveguide positioned to receive a narrow wavelength band of reflected light from the crystalline structure.

    摘要: Methods for determining one or more operating parameters for a timing protocol of a microfluidic circuit are provided. In some embodiments, wet out times are measured for certain flow channels, and start times, flow rates and/or other parameters are calculated so that the various fluids in the microfluidic cartridge arrive at certain locations at a desired time and/or in a desired sequence. To help compensate for process variations, one or more fluidic process monitor components/structures may be fabricated along with the functional components/structures of a microfluidic cartridge. Test may be performed on the process monitor components/structures to help identify process variations in the particular microfluidic cartridge at hand. By using the process monitor data, the timing protocol for a particular microfluidic cartridge may be made more accurate.

    摘要: A system and method are presented for producing a model of the interior of a building. The model is capable of receiving and dynamically incorporating input from various sources including, for example, existing static map data, data such as annotations and updates provided by persons on the scene but outside the building, and real-time data from sensors located on mobile persons or assets that are dynamically moving inside the building. In some cases, the moving persons or assets inside the building may carry a unit that emits sound or electromagnetic pulses, which reflect off the immediate surroundings in a particular room or portion of the building, and sense the reflected pulses. The reflections from relatively close features may arrive at the sensor more quickly than those from relatively distant features, so that temporal analysis of the reflected pulse may provide information about features in the building as a function of their distance away from the unit. Pulses may be emitted and received at multiple locations in a room or portion of the building. The reflected pulses may be analyzed, using specific time shifts that correspond to round-trip travel times in particular directions, so that the actual locations of features may be identified. By walking from room-to-room throughout the interior of a building and performing such analysis, much or all of the interior of a building may be mapped.
