摘要： An analyzer reads biological probes arranged in a probe pattern on a slide carried by a slide carriage. Each probe may or may not generate a probe signal, which is typically fluorescent light, to indicate prior exposure to a predetermined substance or absence of such prior exposure. A detector includes sensors arranged in a first pattern. The probe pattern is denser than the first pattern and includes plurality of first patterns. The detector can sense multiple subsets of the probes within a probe pattern. The probes are contained in wells configured to facilitate reading of the probes, and alignment indicia may be used to check alignment of the slide with the detector.

摘要： A clip for connecting one or two insulators to a rail (preferably a T-bar member) of an electric heater including at least one bendable metal clinching member, where the clip is securable to the rail by bending the clinching member around the rail. Preferably, the clinching member is one or two T-shaped end members disposed on transverse ends of the clip. Opposite end sections of the ridge of the T-shaped end member constitute clinching flaps which, in use, are clinched around a stem of a T-bar of an electric heater.

摘要： An open coil resistance heater uses one or more standoffs to engage and support the generally straight or uncoiled run of bare or insulated wire that is part of the resistance wire of the heater. The standoff has slots, which are sized to engage the bare or insulated wires for support purposes, and is removably mountable to the heater frame for supporting the run of uncoiled wire.

摘要： The present invention is an apparatus and method for calibrating a slide reader which reads probes, such as a biological slide reader. The apparatus has two matched lasers which are directed onto a non-fluorescing probe. Fluorescence from that probe is detected and signals are produced which represent that detection. The signals are compared using either a difference method or a percentage method, and a calibration factor is calculated. A plurality of iterations of the above procedure using a plurality of non-fluorescing probes may be used in order to calculate a more accurate calibration factor. Test probes on the slide are designed to fluoresce when exposed to a target (such as a virus or bacteria or other type of matter) and to electromagnetic radiation of a proper frequency. When adequate fluorescence is found, a foreign substance is present, for example a bacterium, virus or other type of matter. Both lasers are directed onto a test probe and detections are made. Signals are produced and compared, and then the test signal is compared and reduced by the calibration factor. The remaining value is the final fluorescent value which indicates the presence or absence of foreign substances.
