Abstract: Methods, devices, and kits are provided for identifying, selecting, and/or manipulating live cells in a sample comprising a suspected mixed population of cells by subjecting the sample located in a first position to a linear gradient of a cellular stimulus to induce a change in a live cell sufficient to induce movement of the cell from a first position to a second position, wherein a dead cell, if present in the sample, is not induced to move to the second position in the presence of the cellular stimulus; and identifying or selecting the live cell in the second position.

Abstract: The system and method include a high-speed application for installation on mobile devices to enable the configuration of an abstract number of devices simultaneously. The application includes the capability to configure smart devices remotely or via secure local connections. The system and method include a mechanism for creating desired configuration states, an interactive portal through which these configurations may be selected and modified, and an application for installation on each target device that retrieves the desired configuration and applies it to the mobile device before returning verification reports for confirmation and auditing purposes.

Abstract: A method for inspecting the packaging of a packaged product is presented wherein the packaged product includes a tray and a film enwrapping a product carried on the tray forming a packaging. The method includes providing a tray and providing a packaging film material which contains an additive for producing a high contrasting image under non-visible light when compared to the tray. The additive does not affect the spectral properties of the packaging film material in visible light. The tray and transparent film are illuminated with a non-visible light. The contrasting image of the tray and transparent film is viewed for determining the presence and configuration of the packaging. The configuration of the packaging is analyzed based upon a predetermined expected packaging profile and it is determined if the packaging is substantially similar to the predetermined expected packaging profile constituting an acceptable packaging.

Abstract: Disclosed are product inspection systems and methods for monitoring, inspecting and controlling baking and cooking processes, and the like. Products are processed in a predetermined manner using a product processor, such as by baking the products, for example. A controller is used to control operation of the product processor. A conveyor moves or conveys processed products past inspection apparatus. The inspection apparatus comprises an image acquisition system for generating images of products conveyed by the conveyor past the inspection apparatus. One or more illumination devices illuminate products on the conveyor. An inspection processor processes images generated by the image acquisition system to inspect the conveyed products. The inspection processor determines locations of conveyed products by processing image data corresponding to the image frames, and classifies each of the located products to indicate if the products are acceptable or are defective.

Abstract: A spinal restraint device and a method of securing a patient to a spinal restraint device are described. The spinal restraint device consists of a spine board, having a plurality of strap mounting openings. A plurality of straps are mounted to the openings in the spineboard. At least one yoke is provided. The yoke has a first strap which extends through the yoke from a mounting opening on the spineboard above the yoke and a second strap which extends through the yoke from a mounting opening on the spineboard below the yoke. The first strap and second strap describe the shape of an hourglass.
