  • Publication number: 20170018293
    Abstract: A storage device tray has a form factor designed to support a larger storage device, and is configured to secure a small storage device, thereby acting as an adapter between storage device sizes. The storage device tray includes a sliding mechanism configured with pegs that may couple to screw holes in the storage device. The sliding mechanism also exerts a force against the storage device to secure that storage device, and may be locked to further secure that storage device. At least one advantage of this approach is that a storage device can be coupled to a storage device tray without using screws.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a measurement system of real-time spatially-resolved spectrum and time-resolved spectrum and a measurement module thereof. The measurement system includes an excitation light and a measurement module. The excitation light excites a fluorescent sample and the measurement module receives and analyzes fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent sample. The measurement module includes a single-photon linear scanner and a linear CCD spectrometer. The single-photon linear scanner selectively intercepts a light beam component of a multi-wavelength light beam that has a predetermined wavelength to generate a single-wavelength time-resolved signal, wherein the multi-wavelength light beam is generated by splitting the fluorescence. The linear CCD spectrometer receives the multi-wavelength light beam and generates a spatially-resolved full-spectrum fluorescence signal.
