Patent number: 10884006Abstract: A heating device for heating a thermally fixable sealing cover disposed over the microplate adjacent the wells, a cooling device for actively cooling the microplate and a controller set up to control activity of the heating and cooling devices in a manner to heat the sealing cover so as to thermally fix it to the microplate and to actively cool the microplate so as to keep a temperature of the samples below a predefined temperature when heating the sealing cover. It further relates to a method for automatically sealing a microplate in which the thermally fusible sealing cover is disposed over the microplate, the sealing cover is heated to thermally fix it to the microplate and the microplate is actively cooled in a manner that a temperature of the liquid reaction mixtures is kept below a predefined temperature when heating the sealing cover.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2018Date of Patent: January 5, 2021Assignee: Roche Molecular Systems, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Bommer, Thomas Schlaubitz, Pius Studer

Publication number: 20110205677Abstract: The invention relates to a switch-on protection device (1) for an electrical device supplied by a supply voltage, comprising a supply voltage input (2), a switchable electric load (3) and a supply voltage switch (4) arranged in between that can be manually actuated and has the switching positions OFF and ON. The switch-on protection device (1) is arranged in a supply voltage current path to the load (3) and detects the switch position of the supply voltage switch (4) when the supply voltage is applied to the supply voltage input (2). Only in the OFF switching position of the supply voltage switch (4) does it allow closing of the supply voltage path to the electric load (3). By means of two sensor circuits (10, 11), the supply voltage current path is scanned on the input and output sides of the supply voltage switch (4), wherein the output signals thereof are used by an electronic switching element (12) for controlling a semiconductor switching device (6) connected upstream of the load (3).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2009Publication date: August 25, 2011Applicant: LEISTER PROCESS TECHNOLOGIESInventors: Pius Studer, Stefan Eberli

Patent number: 7123822Abstract: An air heater is provided with a connecting case for the power supply and the air to be heated, as well as a heating element attached to the connecting case by means of a carrier. In the connecting housing, the carrier is connected via a plug connection with the connection board for transmitting the heating current. For this purpose, a receptacle angle bracket is provided that can be inserted into the connecting housing and locked in place. The receptacle angle bracket has cylindrical sleeves serving as electrically insulating bushings for the contact pins on the carrier. In order to tap reference voltages for the control device, the contact pins of the plug connection can be connected with the contact tracks of the connection board of the control device by means of rubber-elastic conductive connecting elements.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2005Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Leister Process TechnologiesInventors: Lukas Gisler-Reinhard, Pius Studer, Leo Wallimann-Durrer
