Abstract: A device with chemical surface patterns (defined surface areas of at least two different chemical compositions) with biochemical or biological relevance on substrates with prefabricated patterns of at least two different types of regions (?, ?, . . . ), whereas at least two different, consecutively applied molecular self-assembly systems (A, B, . . . ) are used in a way that at least one of the applied assembly systems (A or B or . . . ) is specific to one type of the prefabricated patterns (? or ? or . . . ).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of processing information with a system comprising at least two processing devices coupled to a network, in which method a job for processing information is defined by a user of the system, whereafter in respect of processing devices belonging to a predetermined set selected from the at least two processing devices, a check is automatically made whether the same are suitable for performing the job, whereafter each processing device of the set is presented to the user via presentation means, wherein for each of said processing devices an indication is given whether the same is suitable for performing the job, whereafter a processing device belonging to the set is selected, and at least a part of the job is transmitted to the selected processing device. The invention also relates to a system for processing information suitable for applying this method and a computer program element for an information processing system to perform this method.

Abstract: A mixing plate apparatus for use in a conventional reaction injection molding mixing head. The injection molding mixing head has a metering valve system to produce a chemically reactive of at least two fluid reactant streams which are metered into a mixing chamber within the mixing head through an orifice over which is disposed a mixing plate composed of a multi-portal grate. The plate is composed of a plurality of apertures symmetrically disposed thereon. The plate introduces turbulence into the fluid stream as each stream is introduced into the mixing chamber to ensure more efficient mixing with the other fluid stream(s). The reacting mixture is then ejected form the mixing chamber into a desired mold cavity.
