摘要:
The invention provides a device for adhering cells in a specific and predetermined position, and associated methods. The device includes a plate defining a surface and a plurality of cytophilic islands that adhere cells, isolated by cytophobic regions to which cells do not adhere, contiguous with the cytophilic islands. The islands or the regions or both may be formed of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM).

A device (10) for treatment of exhaust gases includes a housing (12); a fragile structure (18) resiliently mounted within the housing (12); and a non-intumescent mounting mat (20) disposed in a gap between the housing (12) and the fragile structure (18). The mounting mat (20) comprises melt-formed, leached glass fibers high in silica content and exerts a minimum holding pressure for holding the fragile structure (18) within the housing (12) of one of (i) at least 10 kPa after 1000 cycles of testing at a hot face temperature of 900° C., a gap bulk density of between 0.3 and 0.5 g/cm3, and a percent gap expansion of 5 percent, and (ii) at least 50 kPa after 1000 cycles of testing at a hot face temperature of 300° C., a gap bulk density of between 0.3 and 0.5 g/cm3, and a percent gap expansion of 2 percent.

A more energy efficient, medium access control (MAC) layer of a multi-hop wireless network is provided using scheduling techniques which reduce packet collisions, and therefore the need for packet re-transmissions, while ensuring both bandwidth and delay, Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantees. The techniques are used in conjunction with the formation of a multi-hop, configurable access wireless network (CAN).
摘要:
Wireless stations (and their associated operation) making up a static, multi-hop wireless network are simplified because topological modeling and routing/scheduling decisions are shifted from the stations to a controller external to the network. The controller may determine routing paths and schedules for each of the wireless stations in a network based on the topology of a given network along with other network characteristics. Thereafter, the so-determined paths and schedules are sent to the associated wireless stations. By simplifying the operation of a wireless station, the amount of energy required to be used by each station may be reduced thereby maximizing the lifetime of the network.

A fluorescent immunoassay employing the interior surface of a capillary tube is provided. Devices to permit immunoassays using one or more capillary tubes, an apparatus for use with the devices, and a process for screening for analyte in a sample using the devices and apparatus are also provided. Samples suspected of containing analyte are added to a disposable self-contained sample tray containing one or more sample wells, mixed with a reagent, drawn into one or more spaced-apart capillary tubes held within a disposable cartridge connected to an analytical apparatus, reacted with a binding member on the surface of the capillary tube, washed to stop the reaction, and dried by the apparatus. The capillary tube is then exposed to a signal generation device to create a fluorescence signal that is detected using a signal detector. The apparatus determines the presence of the analyte and optionally determines the amount of analyte present in the sample, and presents the results to the operator.

Methods and a device are provided for adhering cells in a specific and predetermined position. The device comprises a plate defining a surface and a plurality of cytophilic islands that adhere cells which are isolated by cytophobic regions to which cells do not adhere. The cytophobic regions can be wide enough such that less than 10 percent of the cells adhered to the cytophilic islands are allowed to form bridges across the cytophobic regions and contact each other. Further, the islands or the regions or both may be formed of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). The methods are for forming a patterned surface for a population of cells and for selectively manipulating individual cells formed on the surface of the plate of the device. Furthermore, the device is used in immobilization of cells at a surface and for controlling shape of the cells.
