Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for data storage and retrieval from a computer memory. A computing device may store a first hierarchical data structure having a first sequence of sub-data structures and a second hierarchical data structure having a second sequence of sub-data structures in memory. The computing device may link the first hierarchical data structure and the second hierarchical data structure together. The computing device may link the first hierarchical data structure and the second hierarchical data structure by inserting an identifier of a sub-data structure of the second sequence in the first sequence.

Abstract: A device for the visual analysis of test strips, each having at least one delimited area in which, after contact with a sample to be examined, a visually detectable signal can be generated, with the device having a positioning device including a seat for at least one test strip or at least one test strip unit consisting of a plurality of test strips combined in a defined spatial arrangement, the device further including an image generating device which graphically records at least one of the delimited areas and transmits the recording result to an image analysis device, with the image analysis device qualitatively and/or quantitatively analyzing the visually detectable signals for each test strip.

Abstract: A photosensitive material comprising (A) a flexible transparent film support, (B) a colored photosensitive layer which contains an organic binder (B1) a dye or a colored pigment (B2), a compound (B3), which forms a strong acid on exposure to radiation, and a compound (B4) which has at least one group cleavable by the acid, and (C) an adhesion-promoting layer which contains a thermoplastic polymer which has a softening temperature in the range from 40.degree. to 200.degree. C., wherein the adhesion (a.sub.1) of the unexposed photosensitive layer (B) to the adhesion-promoting layer (C) is less than the adhesion (a.sub.3) of the unexposed photosensitive layer (B) to the film support (A) and than the cohesions of the layers (B) and (C), and the adhesion (a.sub.3 ') of the exposed photosensitive layer (B) to the film support (A) is less than the adhesion (a.sub.
