  • Publication number: 20250052526
    Abstract: A thermal energy storage heat exchanger comprising can include a core defining a plurality of airflow passages to receive an airstream therethrough, the core can include microencapsulated phase change material suspended in a photocurable resin. The phase change material can be configured to change phases to store energy from and deliver stored energy to the airstream when the airflow passes through the core.

  • Publication number: 20150177236
    Abstract: The automated reader operates within an enclosure also containing a sample rack and reagent rack, as well as a microtiter plate with multiple wells therein. The machine automatically loads sample and reagent into a well of the microtiter plate according to a testing protocol. The specimen can then be moved along with the microtiter plate into a slot of the reader and aligned with either a light source and detector for an optical density read or aligned with a photon counter for a chemiluminescence read. The reader includes a shroud assembly which can be raised and lowered by a lift assembly to occlude a read point from photons other than those emanating from the sample.
