  • Patent number: 12480641
    Abstract: A lighting fixture for supporting on various surfaces combines the performance of integrated LED systems with the ease of use of non-integrated systems. The fixture comprises a housing with a removable shroud, enclosing a PCB assembly with an integrated LED driver and light source. An attachment mechanism secures the shroud to the housing, compressing internal components for heat dissipation and water resistance. The design includes an optic, lens, and compression elements for optimal light output and component alignment. A rotational leg assembly allows for adjustable positioning. Power can be supplied via a low voltage transformer, rechargeable battery, or the like. The fixture's innovative design allows for tool-less assembly and disassembly, enabling easy maintenance and replacement of components while maintaining high performance standards. This approach overcomes limitations of traditional LED lighting systems, offering a practical solution for various exterior lighting applications.

  • Publication number: 20240110232
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method to obtain the spatial location and sequence information of a target sequence of at least one m-RNA strand on a tissue sample comprising the steps a. providing a linear probe, containing a) a binding region capable of binding to the at least one m-RNA strand and b) an anchor sequence comprising a UMI region located between a first and a second locator regions and c) a primer region; b. hybridizing the linear probe with its binding region to the m-RNA strand; c. complementing the linear probe using the m-RNA strand as template thereby obtaining a reversed transcribed c-DNA strand d. hybridizing a locator molecule with its 3? and 5? ends to the first and second locator regions thereby creating a gap corresponding to the length of the UMI of the linear probe e.

  • Publication number: 20210017596
    Abstract: This invention relates in general to methods of sequencing multiple distinct and separate polynucleotide fragments and regions in a sequential order, such as on a flow cell surface. The invention provides methods that solve prior art problems with regard to sequential sequencing, and that provide advantages including low cost, shorter turn-around-time, high efficiency, and easy implementation.

  • Patent number: 8083520
    Abstract: A reactor for direct utilization of external radiation heat includes a containment can having a longitudinal axis, an external driving mechanism for controllable rotating the containment can and a cavity having a cylindrical shape. The cavity is partially lined with an insulation layer and disposed in the containment can. The cavity has a gas inlet, a gas outlet and an aperture for allowing to insert the external radiation heat into the cavity. A feeder mechanism is moveable along the longitudinal axis into and out of the cavity for supplying the material subject to the thermal or thermo-chemical material process. The gas outlet is formed as a ring channel tube having an inner and an outer surface, wherein the feeder mechanism is at least partially hosted within a tube cavity defined by the inner surface. Cooling means are associated with the inner and/or outer surface.
