Abstract: A pressurized oven is provided having a fully sealed cavity, reduces heat lost, shortens cooking time and saves energy of oven operation. The pressurized oven includes a cavity component, a door assembly, heating elements and a control system that includes a relief valve on top of the cavity. The relief valve includes a valve weight and a venting stub, wherein the valve weight sits on the top of the venting stub. The valve weight disposed on top of the venting stub remains closed and the gas is not released when the pressure is not sufficient to lift the valve weight. When the pressure inside the oven is sufficient to lift the valve weight, the valve weight block is lifted to open the valve, the gas is released and the pressure is decreased. Once the pressure becomes less than the valve weight, the valve closes and gas is no longer released.

Title: Method for producing a plurality of measurement regions on a chip, and chip with measurement regions
Inventor: SCHIEBER MARKUS
IPC: G01N27/30
Filed: 2014-05-30
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a plurality of measurement regions on a chip, said measurement regions being provided with electrodes in order to electrically detect reactions. The aim of the invention is to separate the individual measurement regions from one another in a reliable manner. According to the invention, this is achieved in that a monolayer of a fluorosilane is formed on the chip surface, said monolayer having highly hydrophobic properties. Thus, during a spotting process using liquids, the spotted liquid drops can be reliably prevented from combining and thereby leading to a mixture of the liquid drop substances which are to be immobilized on the measurement regions. The invention also relates to such a chip.

Patent CA-2921755-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TSIKOURAS ANTHONY
IPC: G02B26/10
Filed: 2014-08-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing foci array scanning using at least one adjustable or tilting medium is disclosed. The medium can be controllably tilted in order to translate a beam of electromagnetic radiation perpendicularly to its propagation, and upon exiting the medium, will propagate in the original, incoming direction. This allows the apparatus that emits the radiation, such as a laser, to remain stationary and still scan a 2D array. Additionally, the reflected fluorescence light undergoes the opposite shift to "reverse" the scanning shift and bring the beamlets back in line with a lenselet array. So the collection fibers can remain static and collect light from different spots on the sample from during the scan.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a multi-carrier system. It also assumes independent DIRX (Discontinuous reception) functionality on respective component carriers and the possibility for one carrier, e g. the anchor carrier to initiate a change of DRX state for another component carrier.  The basic concept of the present invention is to introduce a new "dormant"  state in the DRX logic, whereby the dormant state can be used for non-anchor carrier components. The dormant DRX state implies that a carrier of a UE having this state is not required to monitor system signaling In embodiments of the present invention this new state is introduced for a particular component carrier (e g. non-anchor component carrier) for a UE  operating in a multi-carrier system, and how to perform the transitions to and from the dormant DRX state implicitly, e g. based on configured -Linens) for the component carrier or explicit signaling in a different (e.g anchor) component earners.
