  • Publication number: 20130254827
    Abstract: A method, server and terminal for managing digital television business data are disclosed in the present invention. By means that the mobile terminal forwards a business request, which is required to be sent from a digital television reception terminal to a business server, to the business server and the business server provides the corresponding business service for a user via a unidirectional digital television network, the present invention solves the problem that the unidirectional digital television reception terminal in the art can not obtain bidirectional interactive television business data, and allows the user to enjoy bidirectional interactive television business functions without having to replace the digital television reception terminal and the unidirectional digital television network, thereby greatly enhancing user experience.

  • Patent number: 6787015
    Abstract: Capillary electrophoresis is performed under conventional conditions in microchannels having a norbornene based polymer surface. The norbornene based polymers can be used as a solid substrate for forming the necessary features for a microfluidic device, where the entire device may be made of norbornene based polymer. Conveniently, a norbornene based polymer layer having a lower glass transition temperature may be used to adhere a cover or enclosing layer to the substrate to enclose the microchannels and provide a bottom for the reservoirs.

  • Patent number: 6387234
    Abstract: The present invention provides an integrated multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system for the analysis of sample analytes. The system integrates and automates multiple components, such as chromatographic columns and separation capillaries, and further provides a detector for the detection of analytes eluting from the separation capillaries. The system employs multiplexed freeze/thaw valves to manage fluid flow and sample movement. The system is computer controlled and is capable of processing samples through reaction, purification, denaturation, pre-concentration, injection, separation and detection in parallel fashion. Methods employing the system of the invention are also provided.
