Abstract: An OS switching method for switching an OS within several seconds in an information processing system is provided. In the information processing system which includes a processor, a main memory, a nonvolatile memory, and a plurality of input/output apparatuses, an OS switcher is executed when power is applied to the information processing system. When a first OS acquires an OS switch command that indicates a switch to a second OS while the first OS is activated and running, the first OS stores identification information of the second OS and information indicating an OS switch in the nonvolatile memory, and performs STR. The OS switcher switches an OS from the first OS to the second OS after the STR is completed. Accordingly, in the system, one OS can be quickly switched to another OS within several seconds, and a previous working environment can be maintained.

Abstract: Distinctive components that enable high-throughput, whole-animal screening are described. These components can be used individually or in various combinations. A staging chip strains off the excess fluid that the input animals are immersed in, increasing their density (number of animals in a given volume) and rapidly bringing them close to other fluidic components. A microfluidic sorter is adapted to isolate and immobilize a single, physiologically active animal in a selected geometry. A multiplexed micro-chamber chip receives single animals and the microchamber chip includes individually addressable screening chambers for imaging, incubation and exposure of individual animals to selected chemical compounds. An imaging structure generates sub-cellular, high-resolution images of the physiologically active animals. A well-plate interface chip is used to deliver elements from a compound library to a single output of the chip.
