  • Systems and methods for session state transfer to a mobile device
    Patent number: 10506052
    Abstract: The session-state of a local user interface is transferred to a mobile device to permit an operator to execute remote tasks while maintaining interaction with a central controller. The session-state can be transferred between a user interface that is local to a central controller and a mobile computing device using indicia provided by the local user interface or the mobile computing device. The session is identified by the indicia, which is detected by a sensor in the local user interface or the mobile computing device to transfer session-state therebetween. Session-state can be advanced or influenced by, input at one platform at a time. Execution of control can continue regardless of the location of session-state interaction. The indicia used to transfer session-state between platforms can be provided in the form of a key or token that includes identifying information for the session.

  • Apparatus for automatically processing magnetic solid phase reagents
    Patent number: 5128103
    Abstract: An automatic chemistry system having a wheel for mounting reaction vessels is provided with a programmable permanent magnet which is selectively positioned adjacent a reaction vessel to separate magnetizable particles in the vessel from the vessels liquid contents. This facilitates performing heterogeneous immunoassays.
