Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for mixing two or more liquids. The method comprises forming a liquid droplet containing two or more liquids on a substantially planar surface in containerless containment on the surface and causing the droplet to deform in an essentially zero air flow environment thereby mixing the liquids. An apparatus of the invention comprises (a) a substantially planar support, (b) means for dispensing liquids onto the support to form a droplet, and (c) non-evaporative means for causing the droplet to deform without deforming the support thereby mixing the liquids. The drop can be deformed by, for example, application of acoustic energy or a variable electrostatic field. The methods and apparatus have particular application to the determination of an analyte. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a fast-packet network, incoming HDLC data are supplied by a receiving line interface device to a packet management device comprising a receiving state machine that shifts the data through a DLCI extractor. The extracted DLCI is used as an address indicating a location of a translation RAM that stores the destination DLCI and control data corresponding to the incoming HDLC data. The destination DLCI replaces the current DLCI field of the incoming data. A frame control state machine requests a frame buffer of a frame buffer RAM to be allocated to the incoming HDLC packet and writes the data to the allocated buffer. Simultaneously, a packet availability message is sent to the destination packet management device indicated by the control data in the translation RAM. A transmitting circuit of the destination packet management device has a transmitting state machine that rewrites the HDLC data from the frame buffer RAM to a FIFO register. When the FIFO register is full or entire data frame is in the FIFO register, the data are transferred to an HDLC transmitter coupled to a transmitting line interface device.

Abstract: A processor in a haptic joystick renders force effects that are applied to control handle gripped by a user. A plurality of force effects specified by a host computer to the processor are stored in a random access memory (RAM) that is coupled to the processor. Further, a plurality of force effects are stored in a read only memory (ROM) that is coupled to the processor. The processor employs a scheduler to render the force effects in a specified order, for specified time intervals. The scheduler controls how the force effects are rendered, i.e., sequentially, concatenated, and/or superimposed. A play list employed by the scheduler indicates for each increment of a servo clock when each force effect should be rendered by the processor. The scheduler has a round robin queue that can implement at least five types of effects, including: behavioral, synthesized, wave table, variable parameter, and process list. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An active magnetic regenerator refrigeration apparatus includes one or more reciprocating regenerator beds and a heat transfer fluid distribution valve that is activated as the bed is moved between a position in which it is in the magnetic field of a magnet to a position in which it is outside the magnetic field of the magnet. The distribution valve has a first valve member and a moving second valve member slidingly engaged to each other, each of which has ports by which heat transfer fluid may be provided to and received from the valve member. The bed is mounted to the moving second valve member so that heat transfer fluid is conveyed to and through the valve in a single direction into the regenerator bed. The material of the bed exhibits the magnetocaloric effect and the temperature of the bed rises when it enters the magnetic field of the magnet and decreases when it exits the magnetic field, providing a refrigeration cycle. The direction of fluid flow to, from and through the distribution valve remains the same in both positions of the bed or beds, with the distribution valve serving to switch the direction of the fluid flow through the bed in the unmagnetized and magnetized positions of the bed, so that there is essentially no dead volume of heat transfer fluid.
