Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for balancing crankshaft deformation e, a crankshaft with counterweights determined according to the method, and a scroll compressor using the crankshaft. The method includes: determining a component centrifugal force required by a counterweight to overcome the crankshaft deformation caused by both an orbiting scroll centrifugal force and a gas force; and determining the counterweight according to the component centrifugal force. The counterweight is arranged on the crankshaft.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions and methods for amplifying and/or detecting one or more target nucleic acid sequences (e.g., a nucleic acid sequence of one or more pathogens) in a biological sample obtained from a subject. In some embodiments, the pathogens are viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, or protozoan pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2 or an influenza virus. In some embodiments, the methods comprise isothermal amplification of a target nucleic acid and subsequent detection of the amplification products.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to systems, devices, and methods for the transfer of fluid to fluidic receptacles. In some embodiments, the fluid contains one or more molecules (e.g., one or more peptides, proteins, and/or nucleic acids) of interest, and the fluidic receptacle includes an integrated device. In certain embodiments, the one or more molecules can be immobilized on the integrated device for subsequent analysis (e.g., sequencing). Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards systems and methods that can, in some instances, enhance the immobilization of the one or more molecules on the integrated device, e.g., by improving a rate of sample interaction with the integrated device. Through the use of systems, devices, and methods of the instant disclosure, target molecules may be more readily sequenced or prepared for sequencing.
