Abstract: A tackless carpet strip for affixing carnet to a hard surface has a flat base with spikes extending from the base at an angle. A lower surface of the base is coated with protective sealant. A foam adhesive tape strip has two adhesive surfaces; the first surface is permanently adhered to the lower surface of the base. The second adhesive surface is covered with a removable protective film.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of high content screening of particles, e.g., cells in a flow cytometric system. In particular, the present invention relates to devices, methods and systems to obtain line-scan images of particles, e.g., cells, of a plurality of different samples simultaneously, where the line-scan images can be used to identify cells based on at least one of a variety of phenotypic characteristics such as shape, asymmetry, and intracellular information for cell sorting and selection. In some embodiments, the line-scan images are obtained as the particles, e.g., cells, in a plurality of different samples flow through a plurality of microchannels, reducing the need and time for focusing of the image detection system. In some embodiments, the laser spot size has a small spatial resolution for rapid capturing of images of cells. In some embodiments, the laser spot size has a larger spatial resolution for imaging of larger particles or cells, e.g., rare cells in a sample.

Abstract: An air removal unit configured for removing exhaust air from an equipment rack or enclosure includes multiple fans to achieve a high airflow capacity while defining a compact and portable structure. The unit removably installs along an exhaust side of an equipment rack or enclosure to provide capabilities for managing the thermal output of equipment, such as servers, CPUs, communications, internetworking and other types of equipment. The unit includes one or more upper fan modules and one or more lower fan modules positioned below the upper fan modules. The upper and the lower fan modules are arranged in a stacked configuration along the depth of the unit with the lower fan modules positioned in an offset orientation relative to the upper fan modules. The stacked configuration and the offset orientation of the fan modules help to incorporate multiple fans with the unit while maintaining the compact and portable design.

Abstract: An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is provided that can alleviate difficulties in shipping electronic devices containing batteries, such as UPS devices by providing a battery connect/disconnect assembly that can connect and disconnect an internal battery from outside the chassis of the UPS. The UPS comprises an input, output, DC voltage source, electrical circuit, chassis, and connect/disconnect assembly. The input receives input power from an input power source, and the output provides output power to a load. The DC voltage source provides DC power and has first and second terminals. The electrical circuit is operably coupled to the DC voltage source and is capable of receiving the input power and providing the output power. The chassis houses at least the DC voltage source and the electrical circuit. The connect/disconnect assembly is operably coupled to the DC voltage source and is constructed and arranged to be operable from outside the chassis.

Abstract: Methods and system for efficient collection and storage of experimental data allow experimental data from high-throughput, feature-rich data collection systems, such as high-throughput cell data collection systems to be efficiently collected, stored, managed and displayed. The methods and system can be used, for example, for storing, managing, and displaying cell image data and cell feature data collected from microplates including multiple wells and a variety of bio-chips in which an experimental compound has been applied to a population of cells. The methods and system provide a flexible and scalable repository of experimental data including multiple databases at multiple locations including pass-through databases that can be easily managed and allows cell data to be analyzed, manipulated and archived. The methods and system may improve the identification, selection, validation and screening of new drug compounds that have been applied to populations of cells.
