    摘要： The present invention provides modified droplet actuator systems, software, and software-executed methods for use in droplet actuator operation and droplet actuator systems that are configured and programmed to execute such software. An aspect of the software components of the invention is an interface description file for each hardware component of a microfluidics system that allows hardware components to be changed without modifying the program for performing droplet operations protocols. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is the establishment of electrode-to-electrode relationships and other aspects of droplet actuator configurations, which may be used when programming droplet operations protocols. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is a physical design library of predefined electrode elements that may be used by a droplet actuator designer when constructing a layout of electrodes. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is a droplet actuator description file that contains the physical and electrical description of the droplet actuator. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is a router component for determining routes of droplet operations in a droplet actuator. Another aspect of the software components of the invention is the use of tri-state vectors for programming sequences in a droplet actuator. Still other aspects are provided.

    摘要： A method, apparatus and program product for increasing the performance of an asynchronous serial communications port by mulitplexing a plurality of communication pipes established between the user application programs and the serial port. To the user application programs, each pipe is treated as a separate output port. A thread of code is started associated with each pipe. On receipt of data by any pipe, all of the pipes are checked to determine if a predetermined amount of data has been queued for any pipe. If so, a packet of data is created containing queued data from all pipes or null data for a pipe with no queued data. A bitmap is generated specifying which fields contain data and which contain null data. Each field is associated with a specific pipe. The packet is routed over the computers serial port to a multiplexer which reads the bitmap, unpacks the data, and routes any contained data to the output port of the multiplexer which is associated with the respective pipe. Each output port of the multiplexer is independently configurable to operate at a baud rate (or other communication parameter such as parity) which is user selectable. A multiplexer circuit is also provided.
