Abstract: A sample collection apparatus for fluid handling of small amounts of sample fluid and loading of a syringe. The present sample collection apparatus can be utilized as a precise dispense device within an accompanying instrument, such as an input to an analytical instrument, point-of-care device, or automated analyzer. The present apparatus can also be used for preparing whole blood samples and for separating plasma from the cellular components of whole blood without centrifugation, as well as for providing filtered samples of biological materials.

Abstract: A method and system are provided in which maintenance vehicles collect information from sensors and operators, forward the collected information to a server, and, in response, receive maps and operator instructions.

Abstract: Selected types of information are collected from various sources and a portion thereof transmitted to a remote server. The remote server dynamically compiles and processes this data with information from other similar and separate sources and provides useful and relevant information, such as vehicle and location specific road maintenance radar, forecasts and treatment recommendations, and then transmits the data back to the vehicles in the field for one or more of the appropriate deployment of equipment, instructions and the automated or manual application of materials.
