  • DEVICES AND METHODS FOR BODILY FLUID COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION
    Publication number: 20200253524
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing that defines a fluid reservoir and includes a port that is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. An inlet adapter is removably coupleable to the housing. A user can engage an actuator to move a plunger from a first position in which the fluid reservoir has a first volume, to a second position in which the fluid reservoir has a second volume greater than the first volume, which draws bodily fluid into the fluid reservoir via the inlet adapter. The actuator modulates a plunger rate of motion below a threshold as the plunger is moved. When a predetermined volume of bodily fluid is transferred into the fluid reservoir, a volume indicator transitions from a first state to a second state and the inlet adapter can then be removed to transfer the predetermined volume into a sample bottle external to the housing via the port.

  • PROVISION OF ALTERNATIVE TEXT FOR USE IN ASSOCIATION WITH IMAGE DATA
    Publication number: 20200012712
    Abstract: A technique for providing alternative text for use in association with an image in a web page includes processing code for a web page to display the web page. An application program identifies from the code a URI specifying an image data file for an image to be displayed in the web page. The application program determines whether the URI of the image data file includes a fragment identifier and, in response to determining that the image data file includes a fragment identifier, determines whether text follows the fragment identifier. In response to determining that text follows the fragment identifier, the text is used to identify alternative text for the image and the web page is rendered with the alternative text in place of the image.

  • Interferometric characterization of surface topography
    Patent number: 10488184
    Abstract: An interferometric metrology device characterizes a surface topography of a sample at different length scales by combining the interferometric data into blocks of different length scales or by filtering the interferometric data at different length scales and then determining statistical moments or surface properties of the surface topography at the different length scales. The interferometric metrology device determines a best focus position for a processing tool based on different length scales and/or based on weighting functions that are based on the structure-dependent focus budget and a variable local topography. Additionally, the topography data may be used by itself or combined with design data, design simulation depth-of-focus data and lithography scanner focus data to define regions of interest for additional characterization with a different metrology device.
