Abstract: A portable fluidic platform for rapid and flexible end-to-end production of recombinant protein biologics includes a bioreactor system hosting stable and robust cell-free translation systems that is fluidically integrated with modular protein separation functionalities (e.g., size exclusion, ion exchange or affinity chromatography systems) for purification of the cell-free expressed product and which are configurable for process-specific isolation of different proteins, as well as for formulation. The bioreactor utilizes lysates from engineered eukaryotic (e.g., yeast) or prokaryotic (e.g., bacterial) strains that contain factors for protein folding and posttranslational modifications. Combination of various purification modules on the same fluidic platform allows flexibility of re-routing for purification of different proteins depending on specific target requirements.

Abstract: A scan head design uses 1:1 (one-to-one) imaging micro-lens arrays to transfer the object plane X-ray image from a CR-plate onto a linear photosensor. The scan-head includes a housing having therein, an array of red light emitting diodes (LEDs), a microlens array, and a sensor. The housing faces the CR-plate and the scan-head is translated across the CR-plate to read out the X-ray image therein. The scan head is compact and provides for improved spatial resolution and reduced power requirements.

Abstract: A four stage pipelined processor (40) provides efficient processing of the most common operation performed in simulating neuron networks. A first stage of the processor includes a program memory (42) and a program address generator (41). A second stage comprises first and second data memories (44, 46) and respective address generators (60, 66) coupled thereto. A third stage comprises the input (X, Y) of a function unit (82), and a fourth stage comprises the output (Z) of the function unit (82). A unique bus architecture allows the various stages to simultaneously communicate with each other through the use of independent buses, and further provides for the quick simultaneous transfer of data from both the first and second data memories to the function unit. When not needed for performing in the pipelined mode, the various buses may be coupled together and to an I/O interface (52) by means of bus coupling means (e.g., 47).
