  • Publication number: 20120187808
    Abstract: An improved countertop structure and method of manufacture thereof, said countertop structure having a laminate or composite horizontal upper surface and a laminate or composite vertical face with a front corner element adapted to form a contoured surface that smoothly fairs into both the upper surface and the face. The countertop is manufactured by first mounting a piece of solid surface sheet material to a plurality of elongated structural elements extending the length of said sheet and having thermal expansion compensation slots, the structural elements being strategically placed and adhered to the bottom surface of the solid surface sheet material to permit cutting to the desired width while providing the required structural support. The solid surface is bonded to the front vertical laminate surface and the front structural element to create a joined edge piece firmly attached to said sheet and said front structural element. The joined front edge piece and sheet is finished to the desired contour.

  • Publication number: 20120015382
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to fluidic droplets, and techniques for screening or sorting such fluidic droplets. In some embodiments, the fluidic droplets may contain cells (e.g., hybridoma cells) that can secrete various species, such as antibodies, for example. In one aspect, a plurality of fluidic droplets containing cells is screened to determine proteins, antibodies, polypeptides, peptides, nucleic acids, or the like. For example, cells able to secrete species such as antibodies may be selected according to certain embodiments of the invention. Examples of such cells include, for instance, immortal cells such as hybridomas, or non-immortal cells such as B-cells. For instance, blood cells may be encapsulated within a plurality of fluidic droplets, and the cells able to produce antibodies may be determined. In some cases, expression or secretion levels may be determined using signaling entities, for example, determinable microparticles present within the fluidic droplet.
