In one embodiment of the invention, a method to image a probe array is described that includes focusing on a plurality of fiducials on a surface of an array. The method utilizes obtaining the best z position of the fiducials and using a surface fitting algorithm to produce a surface fit profile. One or more surface non-flatness parameters can be adjusted to improve the flatness image of the array surface to be imaged.

The progress of a endovascular cardiac repair can be monitored by inserting a pressure transducer sensor using a catheter into a chamber of the heart during endovascular repair and then using a small, hand-held read out device to measure pressure easily, safely, inexpensively and accurately. In one aspect a sensor is introduced into the body by the steps of folding or rolling the sensor into a cylinder, loading it into a catheter, and deploying into the heart chamber by allowing it to unroll or unfold, either by itself or facilitated by the incorporation of a super-elastic alloy component.

We describe an apparatus for learning to predict moves in games such as chess, Go and the like, from historical game records. We obtain a probability distribution over legal moves in a given board configuration. This enables us to provide an automated game playing system, a training tool for players and a move selector/sorter for input to a game tree search system. We use a pattern extraction system to select patterns from historical game records. Our learning algorithm learns a distribution over the values of a move given a board position based on local pattern context. In another embodiment we use an Independent Bernoulli model whereby we assume each moved is played independently of other available moves.

A stent constructed using elements containing micro-mechanical latching mechanisms is disclosed. The micro-mechanical latching elements allow sliding motion between two surfaces in one direction, and restrict sliding motion in the opposite direction. The micro-mechanical latch surface features are formed using microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing methods. The male surface of the latching components contains an array of ridges or protrusions, and the receiving surface contains a matching array of recesses. The array of ridges or protrusions and the corresponding recesses have uniformly dissimilar slopes that result in a substantially greater frictional force in one direction than in the opposite direction. The separation distance between the two surfaces is such that the male latch surface is engaged with the receiving surface recesses in the low stress “locked” state, preventing motion in the undesired direction.

In accordance with various embodiments of the invention, an apparatus is provided for hybridizing a nucleic acid microarray immobilized on a surface of a solid substrate. The apparatus comprises at least one assembly for securing the solid substrate during hybridization, the assembly comprising a carrier and a cover having a surface facing the carrier. The carrier and the cover can be dimensioned to receive the solid substrate between the carrier and the surface of the cover so that the surfaces of the cover and the solid substrate define a cavity. In some embodiments, the apparatus can include a fluid control module comprising a manifold, at least one liquid reservoir, at least one waste container, and a vacuum source in fluid communication with the waste container. The manifold can provide fluid communication between the liquid reservoir and the cavity and between the cavity and the waste container, and the vacuum source can provide a pressure difference between the liquid reservoir and the waste container. The apparatus can further include at least one thermal management module for controlling temperature of the nucleic acid microarray immobilized on the surface of the solid substrate, and the thermal management module thermally can contact the assembly; and a pulse valve in fluid communication with the cavity, the pulse valve adapted to agitate fluid within the cavity.
