  • Publication number: 20250147022
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, devices, reagents, and kits for the detection of one or more target molecules that may be present in a test sample. The described methods, devices, kits, and reagents facilitate the detection and quantification of a non-nucleic acid target (e.g., a protein target) in a test sample by detecting and quantifying a nucleic acid (i.e., an aptamer) where the aptamer-aptamer interactions are significantly reduced or eliminated while maintaining the aptamer-target interaction.

  • Patent number: 12134798
    Abstract: Methods of detecting a leak from a subarray of a microarray chip, kits of components that facilitate leak detection, and microarray chips configured for leak detection are disclosed herein. The methods include positioning, within the given subarray, a sample solution, which includes dissolved sample molecules (DSMs) that define a dissolved sample oligonucleotide sequence and dissolved leak detection molecules (DLDMs) that define a predetermined dissolved leak detection oligonucleotide sequence. The methods also include detecting the DLDMs within a region of the microarray chip that is external the given subarray. The kits of components include the microarray chip and DLDMs. The microarray chips includes a plurality of subarrays and a leak detection region that is at least partially external the plurality of subarrays.

  • Patent number: 9314797
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a slide assembly device having a static tooling base which is statically and solidly affixed to a base such as a table and a moveable tooling arm that is rotatable about a hinge connected to the static tooling base, so that moveable tooling arm rotates about the hinge in a manner similar to a book cover opening and closing. The embodiments further provide an upper slide chuck that is removably attachable to the moveable tooling arm and a lower slide receiver that is removably attachable to the static tooling base. The upper slide chuck is configured to hold an experimental slide via a vacuum mechanism to engagedly hold the experimental slide to the upper slide chuck while the moveable tooling arm is rotated about the hinge from an open-book position to a closed-book position.

  • Publication number: 20100147484
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for manufacturing a metal strip (1) by means of continuous casting and rolling, wherein a thin slab (3) is initially cast in a casting machine (2) and this thin slab is subsequently rolled in at least one rolling train (4, 5) by utilizing the primary heat of the casting process, wherein a continuous manufacture of the metal strip (1) (continuous rolling) can be realized in a first operating mode by directly coupling the casting machine (2) to the at least one rolling train (4, 5), and wherein a discontinuous manufacture of the metal strip (1) (batch rolling) can be realized in a second operating mode by decoupling the casting machine (2) from the at least one rolling train (4, 5).

  • Patent number: 6314940
    Abstract: In a fuel feed system for a spark-ignition internal combustion engine, which system has at least a first injection valve, which is arranged in or on a cylinder head and to which fuel is fed under pressure for discharging directly into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, at least one further injection valve is provided in an engine intake passage to discharge, in certain operating ranges of the internal combustion engine, fuel into the intake passage of the internal combustion engine in addition to the discharge of the fuel of the first injection valve into the cylinder, and the first injection valve is designed for fuel injection volume lower than that required for full power operation of the engine.
