Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for controlling an ultrasound device. The method, for example, can include indexing a location of a part of a palm of the operator on the user interface. The method can also include indexing locations of one or more fingers of an operator on a user interface based on the location of the part of the palm. The method can further include assigning one or more functions of the ultrasound device to the indexed locations of the one or more fingers on the user interface. In addition, the method can include sensing the one or more fingers of the operator near or on the indexed locations on the user interface. The method can also include performing the assigned one or more functions based on sensing the one or more fingers of the operator near or on the indexed locations.

Abstract: There is disclosed a sample processing system for processing a sample contained in a liquid. Specifically, there is disclosed a sample processing system comprising a pipettor, and a cartridge. The cartridge comprises a chamber which has an inlet and an outlet. The chamber contains a microarray device having an active surface. The active surface is accessible to liquid contained in the chamber. The cartridge further comprises an optical interface that provides optical access to the active surface of the microarray device, an inlet port and an outlet port. The inlet port is so configured and dimensioned that it forms an air-tight connection with a pipette tip when the pipette tip is inserted into the inlet port.
