Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for data analysis of experimental data. The analysis can include reference data that are not directly generated from the present experiment, which reference data may be values of the experimental parameters that were either provided by a user, computed by the system with input from a user, or computed by the system without using any input from a user. Another example of such reference data may be information about the instrument, such as the calibration method of the instrument.

Abstract: A sample processing/injection device for liquid chromatography comprises a septum at one end of the device, a processing chamber and injection needle disposed on a second end of the device. A fluid sample is transferred into the device by a transfer needle penetrating the septum of the device. The sample device may be positioned to a receiving component such as an injection valve of an instrument by movement of the transfer needle. The sample is injected into the receiving component through the injection needle of the sample processing/injection device through motive pressure supplied by the transfer needle. The sample processing/injection device reduces sampling steps and improves automation by performing sample processing and injection with a single device.

Abstract: This invention is a prefabricated very strong in wall support for universal fixtures mounted on a wall. Fixture support connectors or arms extend from the support and hold up the fixture. The in wall support is rigidly bolted to the floor so the support bears all the weight of the fixture and transmits the weight directly to the floor. The support is manufactured to accommodate standard fixtures. The height of the mounted fixture can be varied by moving the brackets which hold the fixture support connectors up and down. Brackets can be mounted on both the front and back of the support, thereby allowing the mounting of a fixture on both sides of a wall using a single support.

Abstract: This invention relates to a terminal unit for cable pairs in telecommunication systems, comprising an electrical connector made of two plastic bodies each having a cutting and clamping contact inserted thereinto. The cutting and clamping contacts extend into clamping slots of the connector for cable pairs. The connectors are affixed to a mounting frame for receiving said electrical connectors. The plastic bodies forming the contact housings are advantageously identical and preferably each receives a pair of cutting and clamping contacts. Each connector housing body is provided on its base face opposed to the clamping slots with latching elements for joining together two said plastic bodies to form a casing the casing is provided on two opposed outer faces with latching structures, by means of which the two said plastic bodies are releasably latchable in an aperture of a mounting frame to permit both said plastic bodies to protrude on either side from said mounting frame.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting and converting pressure signals to modulated light signals by microbending optical fibers as a function of the pressure signals. Transducers are described which include a length of multimode optical fiber supported at spaced points across a flexible diaphragm. Movement of the diaphragm in response to the pressure signals microbends the optical fiber to induce attenuation of light travelling along the fiber as a function of the signals.
