  • Publication number: 20240094233
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, devices and systems for associating consumable data with an assay consumable used in a biological assay. Provided are assay systems and associated consumables, wherein the assay system adjusts one or more steps of an assay protocol based on consumable data specific for that consumable. Various types of consumable data are described, as well as methods of using such data in the conduct of an assay by an assay system. The present invention also relates to consumables (e.g., kits and reagent containers), software, data deployable bundles, computer-readable media, loading carts, instruments, systems, and methods, for performing automated biological assays.

  • Patent number: 8357433
    Abstract: Polymer brushes (50) in a resin that create phonon pathways therein. The polymer brushes themselves comprise structured polymer hairs having a density of 0.8 to 1.0 g/cc, a chain length of 1 to 1000 nm, and a thermal conductivity of 0.5 to 5.0 W/mK. The polymer brushes are 10-25% by volume of the resin, and the polymer hairs can orient surrounding resin molecules to the polymer hairs alignment (55).

  • Publication number: 20120009408
    Abstract: The impregnation of a composite tape (56) having a porous matrix with HTC particles provides for permeating a fabric substrate layer (51) of the composite tape with HTC particles and impregnating an impregnating resin into the composite tape (51). The HTC particles in the fabric (51) layer are comprised of a meso-micro mixture, which is between 1:4 to 4:1 meso sized particles to micro sized particles. Other smaller particles may also be included at lesser concentrations. The impregnating resin itself may also contain HTC particles.
