Abstract: A rugged, all-electronic fluid dispensing system for use with pipettes or in
other contexts indirectly measures fluid flow by using a non-linear system model to
correlate vacuum existing at the top of a column of suspended fluid. Non-contact
operation is provided to eliminate the need for contact-type closed-loop fluid flow
sensing and associated potential cross-contamination risks. In one particular
exemplary non-limiting illustrative implementation, an electronic controller within a
gun-shaped, cordless self-contained pipetter housing dynamically calculates valve
opening time based on a non-linear equation. Calibration is used to derive equation
constants, and column vacuum pressure before the valve is opened is used as the
independent variable to derive a valve opening time that will result in accurate
dispensing of a desired programmed fluid quantity. Repetitive automatic dispensing
with accuracies greater than 1% are possible within the context of a relatively
inexpensive portable pipette or device without the need for mechanically-complex
positive displacement arrangements.

IPC: H05B6/02

Abstract: An apparatus and system for using magnetic fields to heat magnetically susceptible
materials within and/or adjacent to adhesives, resins, or composites so as to reversibly or
irreversibly bond, bind, or fasten opaque or non-opaque solid materials to one another. The
system makes use of the effect that alternating magnetic fields induce eddy currents and
generate heat within susceptors, and the effect that alternating magnetic fields additionally
induce magnetic hysteresis that occurs in magnetic materials and thereby generate heat. An
induction heating tool is used to emit the magnetic field at its work coil, and an electronic
controller measures the energy being used by a power converter that generates the alternating
current driving the work coil which creates the magnetic field. The distance between the
susceptor and work coil is repeatedly analyzed based upon the power converter's input energy,
and the work coil is driven at a repeatedly corrected power level during the heating cycle.
Once a sufficient accumulated energy has been delivered to the susceptor, the magnetic field is
turned off automatically by the tool, thus preventing overheating of the susceptor.

Abstract: In order to determine movements of two objects, two
signals of different phase are obtained which depend on
the movement, these signals are processed by locating
successive values of constellation states of the two
signals in a first co-ordinate axis system which
comprises an axis radiating from an origin. A
processor is arranged to monitor the change in said
constellation states of the successive values by using
at least a first and a second data samples which are
obtained by sampling the two signals over time. A
second co-ordinate axis system is provided comprising
an axis radiating from an origin whereby the second co-ordinate
axis system is rotatable and prior to sampling
the second data sample the second co-ordinate axis
system is rotated relative to the first data sample
such that the angular position of the first data sample
with respect to the second co-ordinate axis system is
known.

Abstract: A substrate (580) made by a thin magnesium plate having a thickness of at most
60 µm and bent in a predetermined shape is subjected to anodic oxidation using an
alkali-mixture aqueous solution containing metallic salt with a pH 12 or more so that
porous anodic oxide coatings (571) are formed on the surfaces thereof. A first treated
substrate (581) having the anodic oxide coatings (571) is immersed in a bath of a dye
(571B), which fills the pores (571A) of the anodic oxide coatings (571) and dyes the
substrate, providing a second treated substrate (582). The second treated substrate (582)
is subjected to electrodeposition using electrodeposition paint made mainly of acrylic resin,
forming electrodeposition coatings (572) on the anodic oxide coatings (571). A
magnesium diaphragm is thereby produced, which is thin and has sufficient sensitivity and
desired characteristics. The diaphragm thus dyed has metallic gloss and hence acquires a
high decorative value.

IPC: G01N15/14

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for analysing beads and particles, such as polymer beads used e.g. for solid phase synthesis. The apparatus in one embodiment comprises a rotatable, circular disc comprising a plurality of through-going, inlets, wherein an individual bead from a composition comprising different beads can be fixed to the disc at the end-position of a through-going inlet by applying a pressure drop over said disc comprising said through-going inlets. The pressure drop results in beads being sucked (i.e detachably fixed) onto the disc on top of the through-going inlets. When the disc is rotated the beads are transferred from the position where they initially became attached to the disc to fixed positions wherein suitable devices for measuring and/or analyzing and/or sorting the beads can be operated in order to e.g. measure and/or analyse and/or sort at least one bead of a plurality of beads. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus for measuring a plurality of optically detectable beads, such as polymer beads, said apparatus comprising a) a vacuum container comprising at least one planar capture body capable or rotating around a central axis, wherein said capture body comprises a plurality of through-going inlets, and wherein the diameter of each inlet is smaller than the average diameter of the beads to be measured and/or analysed and/or sorted, b) a pressure controlling device capable of controlling the pressure in the vacuum container, c) a device for rotating the vacuum container around the axis of the capture disc, and d) a device for measuring at least one property of at least one bead.

Title: Synchronizing rf system
Inventor: ADDY KENNETH L
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2004-09-03
Abstract: A synchronizing method and system between a Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter and a battery powered receiver wherein the transmitter transmits short duration first periodic sync signals which are used by the receiver to maintain proper synchronization of the receiver with the transmitter during second periodic wake-up windows for transmission of data. The receiver wakes for a short duration at the start of each periodic wake up window to receive a possible transmission of data, and if no transmission is received goes back to sleep, and if a transmission is received stays awake to receive the full transmission of data. The basic principle is that the average current consumed by the battery powered receiver in order to wake periodically to receive the first periodic sync signals and the second periodic data transmissions is less than the average current required to maintain the receiver awake continuously. The duration (e.g. 14 ms) and periodicity of (e.g. every 32 s) of the periodic signals are selected to meet a FCC regulation of 2 second/hour allowed for synchronization.
