  • Computer system performance monitoring using transaction latency data
    Publication number: 20060168594
    Abstract: Computer systems may be instrumented using a minimally invasive API that allows the execution time of every task in an application to be measured and transactional information to be tagged to the measurement or timing data. Preferably, the measurement data is also associated with related measurement data from other components or systems of the same business entity in order to give precise latency data and statistics for transactions that involve more then one segment of a business' operations.

  • Nephelometric method for determination of an antigen or antibody content in whole blood
    Patent number: 4889815
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for use in quantifying, in a whole blood sample in which the red cells are lysed, a component which will react with a reagent to form an antigen-antibody complex, the method comprising mixing the sample with the reagent to obtain the complex, exposing the sample to a source of radiation and measuring the intensity of radiation scattered through a given angle by the complex, and the apparatus including a container for receiving the sample which has been treated with the reagent to the component, the container being transparent to radiation having a wavelength falling within a given band width, typically 460-530 nm. A source of radiation within this band width is provided together with a device for detecting the intensity of radiation scattered through a given angle by the sample.

  • Device for use in producing a scanning beam of radiation and apparatus for use in investigating specimens
    Patent number: 3966322
    Abstract: A device for use in producing a scanning beam of radiation comprises a rotor member carrying two optical wave guides arranged so as to direct light along the rotary axis of the rotor member, then radially outwardly to pass from one wave guide to the other, then radially inwardly and finally along the said rotary axis again.When the device is adapted for investigating liquid samples, a turntable, carrying a number of vials containing liquid samples at spaced locations around its periphery, is rotated in indexing fashion and, during each dwell period of the turntable, the rotor member is rotated so that the circularly scanning beam of light leaving the first mentioned wave guide scans each of the vials in turn at least once.
