Abstract: To improve the illumination efficiency of hand-held illumination devices, this invention proposes a new illumination device having the “rolling” function, which is capable of illuminating the target area on which a user is currently focusing and rolling the illuminated area as the user is reading forward or backward. The illumination device comprises two pluralities of lighting elements, an illuminating body and a controller. The controller can control one plurality of lighting elements to emit light to illuminate a part of the illuminating body, which can further deflect the light to a part of the surface of the target.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for conducting real-time PCR, and to a device for conducting the method of the present invention. The invention is especially suited for the simultaneous identification and quantification of nucleic acids present in a sample, e.g. a biological sample. Further, this invention describes a method for simultaneous quantitative analysis of multiple nucleic acid sequences in a single compartment by using an integrated nucleic acid microarray combined with a highly surface-specific readout device. The invention relates to a device wherein a surface which is either part of the chamber surface or a surface that is created in the reaction chamber, such as bead surface, is coated with capture probes and in the same chamber, a PCR reaction takes place.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a sub-wavelength luminescence sensor, such as e.g. a luminescence biosensor or a luminescence chemical sensor, comprising at least two wire grids (1, 2) positioned perpendicular with respect to each other. The luminescence sensor, in which the excitation radiation is efficiently used and the luminescence radiation is efficiently detected, has an improved signal-to-noise ratio and a separated excitation and luminescence radiation.

Abstract: Body cover, comprising a substrate, for covering at least part of a human body, and at least one electroluminescent source coupled to the substrate, for illuminating at least a part of the body, wherein the cover is configured to at least partly surround at least a part of the body and/or a body support. Method for radiating at least part of a human body, especially in the treatment of jaundice and/or crigler najjar, comprising covering at least part of the body and/or a body support with a cover with at least one electroluminescent source and emitting light from the electroluminescent source to at least part of the body.
