Abstract: A pipette tip container includes an elongate tube that includes a sidewall that defines an interior region and an open end of the elongate tube. The elongate tube further includes an annular protrusion that extends along an inner circumference of the sidewall, wherein the annular protrusion is configured so that a pipette tip contacts the elongate tube at the annular projection and at a point along the sidewall located near the open end of the elongate tube when the elongate tube is lying on its sidewall. The pipette tip container further includes a cap secured to the open end of the elongate tube and formed to allow passage of the pipette tip.

Abstract: A high quality real-time Turbo-Mud processing system that chooses between a high complexity multi-user detectors that results in better estimates of the bit streams and computationally low linear-based-MUD/Turbo-MUD at each MUD window in each Turbo Iteration. In one embodiment this technique optimizes both the BER and the computational complexity of the receiver by using low complexity MUDs to reduce the number of symbols that the high complexity MUDs need to process. The present invention also provides an efficient means of estimating symbols transmitted in a multi-user environment in overloaded or super-saturated conditions.
