Abstract: A coverslip pick-up and transfer head (10) comprises a pair of spaced suction
cups (26) which are angled downwardly and outwardly. A spring loaded plunger (13) in an
extended condition extends below the suction cups such that when a coverslip (16) is
held by the suction cups it is flexed in a concave shape. A solenoid (15), when energised,
retracts the plunger against the spring force. In use a coverslip magazine containing
a stack of coverslips is raised under the head causing the plunger to retract until the
suction cups contact the coverslips. Vacuum is applied to the suction cups and the
magazine lowered whereby the coverslip is held by the suction cups and flexed into a
concave shape. The solenoid is energised momentarily causing the plunger to
retract and extend thereby delivering a gentle flexural pulse to the coverslip causing
any further coverslip adhered to the underside of the top coverslip to be released and
returned to the magazine. A coverslip laydown head includes a pivotal lever which is
spring biased to provide a progressive force along the coverlip as it is layed on a
slide at an ever decreasing angle to thereby cause mountant on the slide to spread
evenly over the slide with a uniform wavefront.

Abstract: In an address driving circuit including a power recovery circuit, an energy charged in an external capacitor is established to be greater than an energy discharged from the external capacitor. As a result, a voltage of the external capacitor is increased to an address voltage to automatically stop a power recovery operation in a pattern having few switching variations. Further, the voltage of the external capacitor reaches an equilibrium state between half the address voltage and the address voltage to perform the power recovery operation in a pattern having many switching variations. In addition, the controller can stop the power recovery operation in a pattern having few switching variations such as the full white pattern.

Abstract: A taught position modification device easily correcting, in a short time, positions of taught points in a program prepared by an offline programming system (6). A workpiece image captured by a visual sensor (4) and an image of a three-dimensional workpiece model having three characteristic points are displayed on a screen. Based on coordinate values of workpiece portions corresponding to the characteristic points which are specified in the workpiece image, the position and orientation of the model in a robot operating space are corrected, and also positions of taught points are corrected. When a tool end of a robot ( 2 ) is positioned by jog feed to the operation position on a workpiece after being automatically moved to one of the corrected taught points, the taught point is modified based on the robot operating position detected at that time.

Abstract: A system and method for performing rupture event scanning and other sensing operations on a sample. The method includes providing a transducer (42,44,46,48) with an immobilized binding partner material and a sample material disposed thereon. The sample material is applied to the immobilized binding partner material so that, if components in the sample material have sufficient affinity for the immobilized binding partner material, bonds will form between at least some of such components and the immobilized binding partner material. The method further includes accelerating the transducer (42,44,46,48) to induce bond breakage, where such accelerating is performed by applying a drive signal to the transducer (42,44,46,48). The drive signal includes a waveform having multiple frequency components that are pre-selected based on expected resonance behavior of the transducer (42,44,46,48). The method may also include analyzing an output response of the transducer (42,44,46,48) in response to application of the drive signal.

Abstract: A transmitter pen location system is provided, in which a pen is adapted to send a repeated output signal to external receivers (20a, 20b) at two or more receiver locations (18a, 18b), wherein the location of the pointing tip of the pen is determined in relation to the writing surface of a whiteboard. In one embodiment an output element, preferably an ultrasonic transducer, transmits a time dependent output signal (16) from a single signal transmitter pen to two or more external receivers (20a, 20b) at two or more receiver locations (18a, 18b). The direction of arrival of the output signal (16) to each of the receiver locations (18a, 18b) is determined, an the pointing tip of the single transmitter pen is then determined, as the intersection of direction vectors from the pen to the external receivers (20a, 20b). In another embodiment, the transducer transmits a time dependent output signal (16) from the transmitter pen to three or more external receivers (20a, 20b), wherein the received signal is processed to determine the time of arrival to each of the receivers, and the location of the pointing tip of the pen is determined as the calculated distance between the receivers. In another alternate embodiment having a dual signal transmitter pen, a third receiver located at a receiver location is used to determine the time of arrival of a secondary output signal, to determine the distance between the dual signal transmitter pen an the receiver location, while two or more receivers at the receiver location are used to determine the direction of arrival of the primary time dependent output signal. Alternative embodiments allow the transmission of supplementary information from the transmitter pen to the receivers, using waveshaping of the output signal.

Abstract: A multi-axis chuck that rotates about at least two axes. Preferably, the axes are
perpendicular. The multi-axis chuck includes a first portion, second portion, and third
portion. Rear sides of the first portion and the second portion have a first mating portion that
mates with a second mating portion provided on the second portion and the third portion,
respectively. The mating portions enable the first portion and the second portion to be
rotated about the axes. Preferably, the first portion rotates about a first axis independently of
the second and third portions. Rotation of the second portion about a second axis preferably
also rotates the first portion about the second axis. The multi-chuck is operatively connected

controls the motor. The motor rotates the multi-axis chuck to the desired position. The
sensors are used to determine a position of the multi-axis chuck. The controller determines
whether the position determined matches the desired position.

Abstract: In the field of monitoring of communications networks, it is known for probes to execute a combination of tests on an incoming packet stream. When modification of the combination of test is necessary, either by adding or removing a test, it is necessary to modify, externally to the probe, the combination of tests and then recompile the modified combination of tests. This process is inefficient, as it requires re-compilation every time the combination of tests is modified; it also requires execution of the combination of tests with consequential loss of test results while the compiled modified combination of tests is uploaded to the probe. The present invention provides a probe (110) having a test re-writer process (410) that applies optimisation rules to re-structure an aggregate test (202). The optimisation rules are applied either to attempt to make tests to be added share test elements of the current combination of tests without altering the semantics of current tests, or to factor out a test to be removed, without altering the semantics of the remaining tests of the aggregate test.

Abstract: Due to the bi-stable nature of interferometric modulator elements, the state of each modulator element may be held at either an actuated or a released state with a common voltage difference. Because modulator elements often require less time to change states than is allotted in a line time, power drawn by an array of modulator elements may be reduced by disabling one or both of a row and column voltage boost module, which are configured to amplify an input power source to a level that is suitable for driving modulator elements. If the column voltage is removed during the latter portion of a line time, for example, the row voltage is set to a level that is sufficient to maintain a voltage difference between the row voltage and the floating column voltage within a stability voltage range during the remainder of the line time.
