  • Publication number: 20190046970
    Abstract: A pipette is described which includes a piston for aspirating liquid into and dispensing out of a container in the pipette. The pipette is provided with at least one tracking element which is able to count the magnitude of some variable or variables relating to the amount of use of the pipette, at least one operating device for creating a limit magnitude for each variable, and for giving information when the limit value is exceeded. Thus, the user may, for instance, be warned when he may be exposed to high workload stress possibly causing injuries.

  • Patent number: 9566580
    Abstract: The invention relates to liquid dispensing and concerns a pipette comprising at least one aspiration channel with a piston. At the lower end of the aspiration channel there is an extension channel (3) and at its end a pipette tip mounting piece (4) onto which a pipette tip (5) is attached. On the pipette tip mounting piece there is a surrounding groove (17) and in the groove a sealing ring (18). The width of the groove in the axial direction is at least 1.1 times the thickness of the sealing ring in the axial direction. When the mounting piece is pushed into the pipette tip, the inner wall of the tip can move the sealing ring upwards in the groove. The construction can provide a reliable sealing despite of inherent dimension differences between different tips and mounting pieces.

  • Patent number: 8812377
    Abstract: Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide techniques for locating a service using DNS search techniques. For example, an IP address of a customer's end user device (10, 20, 30) can be used to perform a reverse DNS search from which an entry pointing to a service, e.g., a payment service or a video delivery service, can be obtained. The entry, e.g., a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), can then be used to access or evaluate the identified service.
