Abstract: There is disclosed a process and apparatus for reading electrical current of electrodes on a microarray of electrodes. Those electrodes having binding events are detected by a difference in electrical current flow. Enzymes on targets catalyze the conversion of substrate to product, which is detectable by electrochemical reduction at each electrode on the microarray of electrodes. The apparatus has an integration circuit that provides a voltage output that is measured and recorded over time and used to calculate an average current flow. A potentiometer equalizes voltage at electrodes undergoing measurement compared to grounded electrodes.

Abstract: A portable media device for use in cooperation with passenger entertainment systems installed in vehicles, such as automobiles and aircraft, and methods for manufacturing and using same. The portable media device is configured to communicate with one or more content sources, which provide viewing content and which may be proximate to, and/or remote from, the portable media device. Preferably being configured to wirelessly communicate with the content sources, the portable media device can select content from any available content source and can download and present the selected content in any conventional manner. The selected content can be streamed to the portable media device for contemporaneous presentation and/or stored by the portable media device for viewing at any time, including after disembarking the vehicle once travel is completed. As desired, the portable media device likewise can be configured to transmit appropriate upload content to the content sources.
