Abstract: Systems for controlling a droplet microactuator are provided. According to one embodiment, a system is provided and includes a controller, a droplet microactuator electronically coupled to the controller, and a display device displaying a user interface electronically coupled to the controller, wherein the system is programmed and configured to permit a user to effect a droplet manipulation by interacting with the user interface. According to another embodiment, a system is provided and includes a processor, a display device electronically coupled to the processor, and software loaded and/or stored in a storage device electronically coupled to the controller, a memory device electronically coupled to the controller, and/or the controller and programmed to display an interactive map of a droplet microactuator.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products provide a graphical user interface for a data processing system wherein a foster window associated with a secondary application program can be removably attached to a primary application window associated with a primary application program, such as a Web browser. The foster window can be automatically repositioned and/or resized in response to repositioning and/or resizing of the primary application window, such that the first and second windows maintain a generally rectangular attached configuration.
