  • Publication number: 20120007484
    Abstract: A folding entertainment table can be assembled and connectible without tools. Hinged end walls, allowing for foldability, interconnect with rigid front and back walls. A rigid floor and top removably connect to the unfolded frame structure for a completely rigid assembled table structure. The rigidity of the table supports a television and an attachable vertical bracket can be added to hold a flat screen type television. There are means to add shelves for storage or additional entertainment components. Doors and windows may also be added, as needed, for functionality or aesthetics.

  • Patent number: 7022157
    Abstract: Devices and methods for performing an array assay are provided. The subject array assay devices include a degassing zone that includes a gas permeable membrane. Embodiments include degassing microarray-backing elements that are used with an array assembly to provide an enclosed assay array chamber about at least one array of the array assembly. The degassing backing elements include: (1) a substrate having a surface comprising at least one gasket, and (2) a gas permeable membrane. Embodiments also include array assemblies that include a degassing zone, for example positioned on an array substrate. Embodiments of the subject methods include contacting an array with a sample under conditions sufficient to perform an array assay, wherein the contacting step further includes degassing the sample. Also provided are systems and kits for use in practicing the subject methods.
