Abstract: A torque limited fitting is provided having a head and a body, which in certain embodiments may be assembled by an operator. The body of the torque limited fitting has a passageway therethrough for receiving and removably holding tubing. The torque limited fitting may be adapted for use with a flat bottom port, such as in an analytical instrument, like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, or in in vitro diagnostic systems.

Abstract: A biocompatible tube and fitting system that can be used in a liquid chromatography system is described. The tube can have a polymer tip and can be used in conjunction with one or more fitting assembly.

Abstract: A method of forming a microelectronic device structure comprises coiling a portion of a wire up and around at least one sidewall of a structure protruding from a substrate. At least one interface between an upper region of the structure and an upper region of the coiled portion of the wire is welded to form a fused region between the structure and the wire.

Abstract: An improved biocompatible filter for use in liquid chromatography systems such as HPLC or UHPLC The present disclosure addresses the problem of particles bypassing a filter in a liquid chromatography application by design features in the interface between the frit filter and ring that form an improved seal between the ring and frit and prevent leakage around the filter in high measure chromatography. Design features also include frit filters with an internal particle size gradient for pre-column separation activity during filtration.

Abstract: Embodiments of our technology provide a method, system, and media for presenting relevant information incident to attempting to present information that is unavailable by way of a website. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a request to present a desired web page, determining that the desired web page is unavailable for presentation, determining search criteria associated with the request, dynamically generating a second web page that includes search results that were obtained based on the search criteria, and presenting the second web page on a display device.

Abstract: A torque limiting tool is provided that has a handle and a body, which in certain embodiments may be assembled by an operator. The body of the torque limiting tool has a side portion with a tubing slot for allowing tubing to exit the torque limiting tool. The handle and body have one or more abutments, designed to allow the torque limiting tool to deliver a maximum amount of torque. The torque limiting tool may be used with an adapter to allow coupling with a variety of fitting sizes and shapes. The torque limiting tool may be adapted for use with a flat bottom port, such as in an analytical instrument, like liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, or in in vitro diagnostic systems.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved approach for managing, tracking, and querying hierarchical data in layouts. According to some aspects, hierarchical grids are employed utilizing a scheme that organizes physical objects into a set of gradually refined grids that avoids the need to maintain duplicates while enhancing the desirable characteristics of existing schemes, including fast query times, fast data structure initialization and reduced memory footprint. Each grid-cell may be further partitioned into sub-containers to more efficiently provide space pruning during query operations. According to one approach, structures maintained to track existence of objects in a descendent hierarchy.
