Abstract: A microfluidic platform including a microfluidic layer and a contact layer. The microfluidic layer is embedded with a microfluidic structure including a micro-channel and a fluidic sample contained in the micro-channel. The contact layer is able to be attached to the microfluidic layer, and includes a first heater for heating a first area of the microfluidic structure to a first temperature and a second heater for heating a second area of the microfluidic structure to a second temperature. The microfluidic layer and the contact layer rotate together during operation. A method for controlling a sample in the micro-channel of the microfluidic structure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a centralized management mode backup disaster recovery system, which comprises: a control console (104) for performing centralized control on a data container (105), a backup process module (103), storage medium (101), and a standby machine (102) through respective control operations; a production server (108) responsible for controlling and managing data circulation between the production server and the storage medium in unit of data blocks; a backup process module (103) for backing up data to storage space allocated for the production server (180) by the storage medium (101) through an mirror technique and a synchronous or asynchronous technique or any other backup methods; the storage medium (101) for storing data and allocating a logic unit (200) to the production server (108) for data storage; the standby machine (102) for storing system data of the production server (108) and completing automatic running and setting of the standby machine (102) through the control console

Abstract: The present invention provides a remote online backup method based on stager fragmented transmission, comprising: defining a journal storage system as a journal relay system, i.e., a Journal Stager; dividing the Journal Stager into a Local Journal Stager and a Remote Journal Stager to optimize backup transmission performance of the whole online backup system; setting between the Local Journal Stager and the Remote Journal Stager a transmitter, by which a journal is transmitted from one stager to another stager; applying the journal to a backup storage device through a Journal Replayer at a backup destination site.

Abstract: A data storage system, method and a data storage and backup system are provided. The data storage method comprises defining a local storage of the data processing system as a journal vault; storing data in the journal vault by journaling; sending the data from the journal vault to a transmitter; and transmitting the data from the transmitter to a secondary storage. The present invention enhances a write function of a low performance storage device by journaling. In a case where the present invention is applied to a backup system, the performance of the whole backup system can be improved significantly, and the backup system can be extended to a remote site easily. When a storage of a production system fails, the storage system of the present invention can be switched to “production mode” and service resumes to be provided with the shortest downtime.

Abstract: A split drain magnetic field effect transistor (MAGFET) includes at least one supplemental gate to exert a lateral electrical field in the channel of the MAGFET. Connection of the supplemental gate in feedback with one of the two drain contacts allows the MAGFET to act as a latch sensitive to the presence of an external magnetic field. Preferably, the MAGFET includes two laterally spaced supplemental gates, allowing for the detection of an external magnetic field and its orientation.
