Abstract: The disclosed subject matter involves method and system for creating a survey for clients to be administered to third parties. The client provides information as to the survey parameters. The survey is placed in an automated audio format and administered to third parties. Options available include the use of a knowledge base that allows a structure to aid in survey generation. Vocal personas are used that make the surveys easier to use and seem more creditable.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for automated picking of animal cell colonies. A picking head comprising a plurality of hollow pins is provided. The apparatus has an integrated imager for capturing an image of adherent or non-adherent animal cell colonies held in liquid or semi-solid medium. Image processing identifies the locations of the animal cell colonies to be picked. Picking an animal cell colony is performed by aligning each of the hollow pins in turn with a target animal cell colony location, introducing the hollow pin into the medium, and aspirating the animal cell colony into the hollow pin. In the case of an adherent colony, the distal end of the pin is forced into oscillation to detach the animal cell colony prior to aspiration. The animal cell colony is dispensed into a well plate by increasing pressure in the fluid conduit.

Abstract: A system for viewing 3-D images that comprises an image source (50), a computer (105) and a television screen (110). The television screen is divided into a plurality of sections (115-130), with each section displaying an image representative of a certain depth in the image, as provided by the computer. Image display elements comprising optical fiber bundles (200-215) or lamps, (e.g. 520) and leads (e.g. 540) convey individual depth images from the television screen to a plastic block (225) in which the fiber bundles terminate or the lamps are positioned. The individual fiber bundles terminate at predetermined depths within the plastic block, with those conveying the nearest part of an image terminating at the front of the block, as viewed by an observer (220). The fiber bundle or lamp conveying the greatest depth in the image terminates near the rear portion of the block, as seen by an observer. Fiber bundles or lamps conveying images of intermediate distances terminate at intermediate distances within the block. Fiber diameters and lamp sizes graduate from large to small as depth in the image increases. A true 3-D image is thus provided.

Abstract translation: 一种用于观看包括图像源（50），计算机（105）和电视屏幕（110）的三维图像的系统。 电视屏幕被分成多个部分（115-130），每个部分显示代表图像中一定深度的图像，如计算机所提供的。 包括光纤束（200-215）或灯（例如520）和引线（例如540）的图像显示元件将各个深度图像从电视屏幕传送到塑料块（225），其中纤维束终止或灯是 定位。 单个纤维束在塑料块内的预定深度处终止，如观察者（220）所观察到的那样，那些传送最终部分的图像终止在块的前部。 传输图像中最大深度的光纤束或灯在观察者看到的情况下，在块的后部附近终止。 传输中间距离图像的光纤束或灯在块内的中间距离处终止。 随着图像深度的增加，光纤直径和灯泡尺寸从大到小逐渐减小。 因此提供真实的3-D图像。
