Abstract: A system can route calls based on a minimum expected delay, classification, and priority of the call. In some embodiments, when a call is received, the call is classified and prioritized within the classification. A minimum expected delay time is determined. Based on the minimum expected delay time, the classification, and the prioritization, the call is routed to a representative with instructions on how the call should be treated.

Abstract: A cell monitoring plate comprises a flat surface on which multiple cell culturing vessels may be stacked. The flats surface has multiple optical imaging systems embedded therein to fully image a cell culture vessels stacked on the plate. Each one of the multiple optical imaging systems provides both illumination and imaging through a single aperture in the surface of the monitoring plate.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for non-invasive measurement of cell cultures are described that provide for remote monitoring of cell status. The system includes a cell culture vessel, at least one monitoring layer, at least one measurement device, and a communication component. The cell culture vessel may include at least one cell culture chamber configured for cell growth and for closed-system operation. The monitoring layer is external to the at least one cell culture chamber. In some cases, the communication component is configured to transmit data from the monitoring layer to a remote location.

Abstract: A connected ecosystem for a laboratory environment comprises an electronic lab notebook, and instrumented biosafety cabinet, and one or more sensing vessels containing cell cultures. The electronic lab notebook interfaces with the instrumented biosafety cabinet to provide instructions, guidance, and monitoring of a user during the set up of the experimental protocol and to receive commands from the user via one of several input modalities. After the experimental protocol has been set up in the instrumented biosafety cabinet, cell cultures may be moved to an incubator where the connected ecosystem may provide automatic monitoring of the cultures. The automatic monitoring is provided by sensors integrated into cell culture vessels and supplemented by images of the cell cultures captured by a camera. The user may be informed of deviations from expected results detected based on the automatic monitoring.

Abstract: The parking space availability system is configured for use with a parking facility that further comprises a plurality of parking spaces. Each parking space contained within the plurality of parking spaces comprises an occupancy status selected from the group consisting of an open parking space and an occupied parking space. The parking space availability system comprises a surveillance device, one or more mapping devices and a wireless communication facility. The wireless communication facility wirelessly connects each of the one or more mapping devices to the surveillance device. The surveillance device forwards the location of each identified open parking space to the one or more mapping devices using the wireless communication facility. Each of the one or more mapping devices is used by a user to locate the identified open parking spaces.

Abstract: A flask for the culturing of cells is disclosed. The cell culture chamber is defined by top and bottom walls connected by side and end walls, one end wall shaped such that media can drain to a bottommost spot thereby allowing for the complete removal of media via a vertically oriented pipette inserted into the interior of the flask body through an open neck.

Abstract: Thermoplastic polymeric sheets are rendered microporous and remain substantially flat by contacting the sheet with a first fluid composition that contains or more solvents for the polymeric sheet to render the sheet microporous and then contacting the microporous sheet with a second fluid composition that is substantially free of solvents for the polymer and that contains a non-solvent that is miscible with the one or more solvents of the first composition. Contacting the microporous sheet with the second fluid composition preferably occurs prior to substantial evaporation of the first fluid compositions, or solvents thereof, from the microporous sheet.

Abstract: Described are methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for topological mapping using a conductive infrastructure. A conductive infrastructure of a structure is excited with an excitation signal. The radiated signal is received, the radiated signal being based on the excitation signal and an impedance discontinuity within the conductive infrastructure. A location associated with the impedance discontinuity is determined based on the received radiated signal.

Abstract: A system (242) processes asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) signals. The system (242) receives a signal that includes an ADSL signal and transient noise (230). The system (242) isolates the transient noise (230) in the signal and retrieves the ADSL signal from the signal using the isolated transient noise (230).

Abstract: A communication system (100) including a portable radio (130) selectively transmitting radio signals, a first vehicular repeater system (110) including a first vehicular repeater (112) adaptable to receive radio signals transmitted by the portable radio (130). A first mobile radio (114) is coupled to the first vehicular repeater (112) and is adaptable to retransmit signals received by the first vehicular repeater (112). The first vehicular repeater (112) has priority repeater status that signifies primary responsibility for repeating the radio signals transmitted by the portable radio (130). The first vehicular repeater (112) is also capable of responding to a notification signal received from a second vehicular repeater system (120) with a priority signal to indicate that it is to remain in priority repeater status such that the second vehicular repeater system (120) monitors to receive the priority signal by the first vehicular repeater (112) in order to determine its priority status.
