Abstract: Provided is a vehicle seat in which entry of foreign matter from an opening part formed in a cover member is suppressed when stored. The vehicle seat of the present invention includes a seat cushion 11 on which an occupant sits, a leg member 20 that supports the seat cushion 11 and includes a locking device 22 at a lower end, a cover member 30 that covers a front side of the leg member 20, wherein an opening part is formed at a position of the cover member that overlaps with the locking device 22, and an elastically deformable lip part 40 that is attached to the cover member 30 and that covers the opening part. Since the opening part is covered by the lip part, the entry of foreign matter is suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention is a comprehensive method and related system comprising software, instrumentation, consumables and services (calibration, training, and repair) in a platform system for management of handheld pipettes and automated liquid handling systems (ALBS). The system optimizes confidence in test results, control of liquid handling processes, productivity, and simplicity in operation, by significantly improving the experience in ownership, usage, and service of liquid handling instruments. The system is a turnkey solution integrating multiple technology approaches to provide real-time on-line feedback to the devices and to device users, as well as real-time connection to Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN), Laboratory Information Management Systems (LEVIS) and training databases.

Abstract: A liquid aspirating and dispensing apparatus and method of using the apparatus. Among other elements, the apparatus includes a liquid handling device having one or more channel members, each of which has a removable liquid holding tip attached, and a signal transmitting device. A signal transmitted from the signal transmitting device may be used in a variety of ways to yield information regarding the performance of the apparatus. This information may be provided via direct detection of the signal by an operator of the apparatus. Alternatively, the signal may be detected by a programmable signal detecting device, interpreted by the apparatus, and then displayed in a form that is understandable to the operator. Furthermore, the liquid holding tip may be modified to enable different forms of signal transmission.
