A plate and fin type heat exchanger has a heat exchanger core made from a plurality of stacked, alternating first and second heat exchange plates of a generally inverted, U-shaped cross-section. Each plate has a top wall, closed peripheral sidewalls and open ends, and the open ends of the first plates are oriented at 90° to the open ends of the second plates. The sidewalls of the plates have end portions, which in adjacent plates, are aligned to form corners of the heat exchanger core. Opposed U-shaped manifold bodies are provided having open ends and lateral walls joined in a fluid tight manner to the aligned plate sidewall end portions. End plates close off the open ends of the U-shaped bodies to form manifolds. The corners formed by the aligned plate sidewall end portions allow for an improved connection between the heat exchanger core and the U-shaped manifold bodies. This helps to ensure that a fluid tight seal is created between the heat exchanger core and the manifold bodies when the components are joined together.

Embodiments of the present invention include switching amplifier circuits and methods. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a low distortion method of driving a switching amplifier comprising modulating an audio input signal to produce a half-wave rectified pulse-width modulated signal and a complementary half-wave rectified pulse-width modulated signal. These signals may be amplified in a power amplifier and combined in a feedback circuit to generate a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal, which may be coupled the inputs of a modulator for controlling the output signal.

A reflex algorithm for assessing cardiac patients, which does not require human decision-making in selecting assays to be performed. Performance of further biochemical marker tests on a patient is dependent upon the outcome of previously conducted tests. The reflex algorithm focuses on obtaining the most accurate test information as early as possible from several different tests run in very short intervals. The reflex algorithm may be implemented by a computer that can copy requests for the most appropriate test to the loadlists of automated clinical chemistry and immunoassay analyzers. Also provided is an integrated platform for executing clinical chemistry assays and immunoassays according to a reflex algorithm.

A battery cell cooler containing a pair of complementary plates. The pair of complementary plates together forms a tubular flow passage and one or more tubular sections. The flow passage has an inlet end, an outlet end and dimples or ribs along the length of the flow passage. The one or more tubular sections have an inlet duct and an outlet duct, the inlet duct being coupled to an expanded receptacle at the inlet end and in fluid communication with the inlet end of the flow passage and the outlet duct being coupled to an expanded receptacle, at the outlet end and in fluid communication with the outlet end of the flow passage. Also, disclosed is a device containing a battery cell sandwiched between a pair of battery cell coolers, as described herein. Further disclosed is a method for forming the battery cell cooler, as described herein.

Methods for determining the appropriateness of anti-platelet therapy in a patient with a platelet-affected disease. The Mean Platelet Component value in a patient blood sample is determined corresponding to the patient's platelet activation status. A high platelet activation status indicates the appropriateness of anti-platelet therapy.
