摘要:
A bar code display apparatus includes a time-varying nonpredictable code generator (12) and a display device (14) responsive to the time-varying nonpredictable code generator (12) to display a time-varying nonpredictable bar code. The display device can provide a scrolling display by displaying a subsequent bar code portion having a bar removed from an end of the bar code. Alternatively, the display device can display a pulsed signal corresponding to the bar code. A housing, having an inset portion at which the display device is accessible, can support the time-varying nonpredictable code generator and the display device.
摘要:
An electrophoresis apparatus includes a substrate (34) which supports a filling region (22) and a plurality of electrophoresis lanes (20). The filling region (22) communicates a sample to the plurality of electrophoresis lanes (20). A method of electrophoresis includes providing the above-described electrophoresis apparatus, applying a sample to the filling region (22), the plurality of electrophoresis lanes (20) receiving the sample from the filling region (22), and electrophoresing the sample in the plurality of electrophoresis lanes (20).
摘要:
Automated electrophoresis is performed by applying a cover plate to a substrate having a plurality of electrophoresis lanes, applying at least one sample to the plurality of electrophoresis lanes, electrophoresing the at least one sample, removing the cover plate from the substrate, and washing the substrate. Thereafter, the aforementioned steps are repeated using the same substrate.
摘要:
An assay dispensing apparatus comprises a plurality of filling ports (366) arranged in a two-dimensional pattern and a plurality of outlets (376) in fluidic communication with the plurality of filling ports (366). The outlets (376) are arranged in a one-dimensional pattern.
摘要:
A method of producing a network navigation device which includes writing machine-readable data (16) to a substrate (12), and writing a human-viewable image (14) to the substrate (12). The machine-readable data (16) provides an instruction for linking to a resource in an electronic network (20). The human-viewable image (14) is associated with the resource.
摘要:
A molecular detection apparatus comprises a molecular receptor (20), a detection element (22) responsive to the molecular receptor (20), and a substrate (24) which supports the detection element (22). The molecular detection apparatus further includes a grasping member (26) and an elongated member (30) to couple the grasping member (26) to the substrate (24).
摘要:
A foldable article comprises a sheet of material (20) having a first plurality of concertina folds (22) and a second plurality of concertina folds (24). The second plurality of concertina folds (24) are oriented transverse to the first plurality of concertina folds (22). A first tab (30) is disposed at a first edge of the sheet of material.
摘要:
A first system for locating a portion of an underground sewer includes a buoy which is released into the sewer. The buoy is carried to the portion of the sewer by a flow of fluid therein. An electronic tracking system tracks the buoy during its travel through the portion of the sewer to thereby locate the portion of the sewer. A second system includes a plurality of buoys distributed along a tethered line which are released into the sewer. The plurality of buoys are carried to the portion of the sewer by a flow of fluid therein. A location of each of the plurality of buoys within the portion of the sewer is sensed to thereby locate the portion of the sewer. The plurality of buoys are then removed from the sewer by retracting the tethered line.
摘要:
In accordance with a first aspect, a binding assay comprises a machine-readable storage medium which supports a molecular receptor (22). In accordance with a second aspect, a support member (50) supports first (22) and second (24) molecular receptors and first (26) and second (28) data identifying the molecular receptors (22,24). In accordance with a third aspect, a support member has a first annular portion (106) to support molecular receptors and a second annular portion (108) to support machine-readable data identifying the plurality of molecular receptors.
摘要:
Machine-read bar code data is received from a network access apparatus (64). A priority level is determined based on the bar code data. The priority level is assigned for the network access apparatus (64) to interact with a computer via a computer network (12).
