Patent AU-751309-B2 (AU)
Title: Apparatus and method for transferring small volumes of substances
Inventor: KOWALLIS REID B
IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 2000-04-11
Granted: 2002-08-15
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dispensing small volumes of selected substances, such as biological reagents or samples, onto substrates. According to one general embodiment, a plurality of spaced, tandemly-arranged substrates are advanced, e.g., by way of a conveyor, along a transport pathway extending over a reagent-supply location, such as a reservoir supported at a fixed position in a base. From a position over the reagent-supply location and the pathway, a reagent-transfer instrument, or tip, is extended along an axis through an intervening region, e.g., an opening defined by a surface of the conveyor, separating an adjacent pair of advancing substrates to contact reagent held at the reagent-supply location. The reagent-transfer instrument is then withdrawn, along with a portion of such reagent, through the intervening region to a position above the transport pathway. Once the conveyor has advanced a selected substrate, upstream of the intervening region, to a position aligned with the axis of the reagent-transfer instrument, a selected amount of reagent is transferred from the instrument onto a selected site of the substrate. Advantageously, the apparatus and method are readily adaptable for the production of micro-arrays having a great number of closely spaced spots.

Title: A digital filter for enhancement of document image
Inventor: ATAMAN ERGIN
IPC: H04N1/40
Filed: 1985-05-30
Granted: 1988-06-23
Abstract: In a document scanning system, a column of document sensors (16) is scanned to provide digital signals representing pixel gray levels which are applied sequentially to a latch (55) coupled to the first of a sequentially coupled group of RAM's (40-43) addressed by a common address circuit (44) and having further latches (56-59) for input-output operations. This arrangement effects a one scan line delay. Outputs of the latches (55-59) are applied to combining means (204, 206, 208) including sequences of adders (e.g. 214), element delays (e.g. 216) and multipliers (e.g.. 212) whereby for each sensed pixel the values of the pixels in a window are multiplied by predetermined constants and summed to provide a total representing an enhanced value for the sensed pixel. The window is shifted by one row for each sensed pixel. Thus, character enhancement is effected by a digital filter of simple construction.

Title: Friction welder having a drive which produces orbital motion
Inventor: SNYDER EDWARD A
IPC: B29C65/06
Filed: 1994-07-29
Granted: 1995-05-18
Abstract: An electromagnetically actuated friction welder produces orbital motion at interfaces between parts (usually of thermoplastic material) to bond the parts by fusion generated by friction. This welder can also be operated alternatively to produce reciprocating vibratory forces thereby providing flexibility as to the selection of an orbital or reciprocating mode, depending upon the joint to be welded. The velocity of motion is controllable preferably around the resonant frequency of the driven structure by adjusting the frequency of the AC power which operates the electromagnetic drive motor of the welder. A plate which carries one of the parts to be welded and which is driven is flexurally mounted for movement in an orbital plane or planes containing the interfaces without substantial tilting by an array of stiff members, such as rods, located around the drive motor, attached to the plate at one end and to a tubular structure at the opposite ends thereof. The tubular structure is desirably attached to a massive support carried by the frame of the welder.
