Patent number: 10907129Abstract: An apparatus and a method for the automated processing of samples containing biological cells—in particular, of blood samples or other cell samples is provided. The apparatus has a sample receiving device configured to receive samples, an auxiliary material receiving device configured to receive auxiliary materials, a sample carrier receiving device configured to receive sample carriers, a discharge device configured to discharge samples from a discharge position, and a capture device configured to capture discharged samples in a capture position to obtain prepared samples, and at least one temperature control device for controlling the temperature of at least one of the sample carriers. The distance between the discharge position and the capture position can be adjusted to a prespecified height. The method includes wetting a temperature-controlled sample carrier with at least one auxiliary material and discharging the sample onto the wetted temperature-controlled sample carrier from a prespecified height.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: ALS Automated Lab Solutions GmbHInventors: Matthias Opel, David Unglaub, Jens Eberhardt, Gerd Bornmann

Patent number: 10900009Abstract: The method comprises an automated removal of cells and/or cell colonies from a cell culture whilst executing a first detection step for selecting cells and/or cell colonies with reference to corporeal and/or physical parameters and detecting position data and storing the detected position data of the selected cells and/or cell colonies in a position database. In order to be able to select special cells and/or cell colonies having special properties from the detected cells and/or cell colonies, at least one second detection step for detecting at least one further parameter of the cells and/or cell colonies is then executed, comparative data from the data of the first and second detection step are created, cells and/or cell colonies are selected with reference to the comparative data and the position data from the position database are transferred to a harvesting unit.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: ALS AUTOMATED LAB SOLUTIONS GMBHInventors: Rafael Backhaus, Jens Eberhardt, Marco Meinhardt, Gerd Bornmann

Patent number: 7487909Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for processing value units, such as bank notes, coins or checks. A system and method for processing deposits of value units are provided by which bank notes of the deposit are checked successively in two bank note processing machines, and the data of both the first and second checking operations are supplied to an evaluation device in order to perform an evaluation of the deposit on the basis of both the first and second checking operations. This two-stage processing provides the possibility of carrying out the processing of deposits in cash centers considerably more efficiently than with hitherto used methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2004Date of Patent: February 10, 2009Assignee: Giesecke & Devrlent GmbHInventors: Jens Eberhardt, Werner Fiedler, Hermann Geβler, Heinz Kochbeck, Henning Nattmann, Udo Schwartz, Martin Thorbjörnson
