Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring, characterizing and controlling operation of LEDs are provided herein. Methods includes measuring a voltage across the LED, and correlating the voltage to a junction temperature of the LED. This correlation can be used to improve operation of the LED by increasing the signal to noise ratio of the LED signal, characterize the LED by comparing to an I-V curve, control LED operation to compensate for LED degradation and avoid crosstalk, and/or to generally improve performance and life expectancy of the LED. Improved performance of the LED can include stabilizing the photon output during performance of an assay to provide a desired dye reporter signal required for the assay and/or reducing an intra-shot during of the LED output during the assay. System and device with control units configured to perform these methods are also described herein.

Abstract: In some aspects of the present disclosure, methods of detecting coincident sample events are provided. The methods include receiving a first set of signal data representing detected signals from a flow cytometer system; detecting, with a peak detection module, one or more peaks within the signal data; and cancelling, with a successive cancellation module, one or more individual sample events from the signal data at corresponding time indexes, wherein the cancellation of more than one individual sample event is successive. Devices and system related thereto are also provided.

Abstract: An acoustical ceiling panel is provided having a core with a front face and a back face composed of air laid mineral fibers and an aqueous binder. The aqueous binder includes a first component in the form of one or more carbohydrates, and a second component in the form of one or more compounds selected from sulfamic acid, derivatives of sulfamic acid, and any salts thereof, ammonia and hypophosphorous acid. A formaldehyde-free first fleece having a thickness is secured to the front face of the core by powdered adhesive and a formaldehyde-free second fleece having a thickness is secured to the back face of the core by the aqueous binder, with the thickness of the first fleece being greater than the thickness of the second fleece. Paint is applied to the first fleece. The acoustical ceiling panel has formaldehyde emissions of below 8 ?g/m2/h of formaldehyde, preferably below 5 ?g/m2/h, most preferably below 3 ?g/m2/h, in accordance with ISO 16000 for testing aldehyde emissions.

Abstract: A Composite Pattern with BLOB data types is used to model a hierarchical network, and includes a path-like construct for locating each component within the network model. Database procedures are used to efficiently search, modify and retrieve individual nodes from the network model using the database server's memory pool so that client applications are not required to retrieve and deserialize the entire Composite-BLOB hierarchy in order to make modifications or search for individual elements, thereby substantially reducing the transfer of data between the application layer and database. To avoid the need for dynamic memory restructuring during deserialization, the size required to store component data at each composite is stored when the composite is serialized, and during deserialization, the size is retrieved and used to obtain sufficient memory for the deserialized composite.

Abstract: Changes to the source network model are captured in a database schema independent fashion, and an update manager broadcasts the changes to a registered client as and when the changes occur. Alternatively, the update manager can be queried, and in response, returns a summary of changes corresponding to criteria specified in the query. The client assesses the change summary to determine whether to request the detailed information corresponding to one or more of the reported changes in the change summary. A combination of both approaches may include, for example, regularly broadcasting a change summary and responding to specific subsequent requests. To facilitate an efficient scheme for identifying and filtering changes of interest, associative change records are provided, wherein the devices or components of the network that are associated with each change are identified. To facilitate selective time based retrieval, each change record includes a date-time stamp.

Abstract: A method and intelligent roaming mobile station for emulating a pre-intelligent roaming scanning routine used by a pre-intelligent roaming mobile station. The method includes the steps of selecting a search scheme from a plurality of search scheme, and restricting an intelligent roaming scanning routine to scan only the service bands within an 800 MHZ spectrum. In response to the selected search scheme, the intelligent roaming mobile station then prioritizes at least one service band operating in the 800 MHZ spectrum into a band scan order. Thereafter, the intelligent roaming mobile station scans for a channel according to the prioritized band scan order, where the channel connects a service provider to the intelligent roaming mobile station according to the selected search scheme.
