Abstract: A system comprises: a sample analyzing device reading measurements associated with a liquid sample; a display device displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) to a current user of the automated sample analyzer; processing circuitry; and a memory storing: a receiving engine which receives the measurements associated with the liquid sample from the sample analyzing device and storing the received measurements in memory; a configuration control engine which sets a configuration of a user model to correspond to the current user of the automated sample analyzer; a learning engine which detects and collect at least one pattern of interaction of the current user with the GUI; and a user interface engine which configures the GUI according to user-dependent configuration data of the configuration of the user model corresponding to the current user.

Abstract: Disclosed are dispensers (100, 200, 300) and methods for dispensing and degassing a liquid (102). The dispensers and methods may include a heater (308) and a first tube (124, 502) constructed of a first material. The first tube may include a first end (124A) operable to be connected to a source (104) of the liquid and a second end (124B). The first tube may be connected to the heater via a conductive pathway thermally connecting the heater to the first tube. The first material may have a permeability such that a portion of the gas dissolved in the liquid passes through the first material to an atmosphere upon being degassed from a portion of the liquid within the first tube (124, 502).

Abstract: Embodiments of a dispenser and a dispensing method for an analyzer are disclosed herein. The dispenser can include a first structure containing a first fluid path and a probe containing a second fluid path. The first structure can include a heat source that can heat the first structure and a fluid contained in the first structure. The first structure can be physically and thermally connected to the probe such that the probe is indirectly heated by the heat source via thermal energy transferred through the first structure. The heat source can be controlled to heat the first structure to a first desired temperature and/or temperature range, which can result in the heating of the probe and the fluid contained in the probe to a second desired temperature and/or temperature range.

Abstract: A spinning decoy system for effectively attracting birds by providing movement of decoys in low wind conditions. The spinning decoy system generally includes a support base positionable upon a ground surface, a frame attached to the support base, a mounting bracket rotatably attached to the frame, a plurality of support arms extending from the mounting bracket, a plurality of decoys attached to the distal portions of the support arms, and a motor mechanically connected to the mounting bracket to rotate the mounting bracket along with the support arms and decoys.
