Abstract: A system and method for automated single cell capture and processing is described, where the system includes a deck supporting and positioning a set of sample processing elements; a gantry for actuating tools for interactions with the set of sample processing elements supported by the deck; and a base supporting various processing subsystems and a control subsystems in communication with the processing subsystems. The system can automatically execute workflows associated with single cell processing, including mRNA capture, cDNA synthesis, protein-associated assays, and library preparation, for next generation sequencing.

Abstract: Cutting apparatuses and methods of use thereof are discussed. For example, the cutting apparatus may include a chassis with one or more substrate interfaces and a scribe guide. The cutting apparatuses also may include a plurality of support pistons, a deformable support, a locking mechanism, and/or an anchor extension. The support pistons may be adjustable to generally conform to a substrate, such as a non-planar substrate.

Abstract: The clippings-collecting net for bush-trimming shears is a handheld tool configured for use in agriculture and horticulture. The clippings-collecting net for bush-trimming shears is configured for use with a hedger. The clippings-collecting net for bush-trimming shears comprises a plurality of supports and a trap. The plurality of the supports and the trap are attached to the hedger. The supports and the trap capture clippings as they are produced by the hedger and contain the clippings within the trap until they can be appropriately disposed of.
