  • Publication number: 20080118403
    Abstract: A well plate and its supporting devices provide capabilities found in larger fermenters, such as controlling the oxygen level, the pH level, and temperature of the contents of the well. The well plate includes a plurality of wells, each of which can be independently controlled. Apertures in the wells, for example, provide access for a gas supply and sensors within each well provide data relating to, e.g., oxygen and/or pH level in the well. A control system controls the gas supply for each well based on the information provided by the sensor within the well. Similarly, temperature control elements, such as a heater or cooler, is placed in thermal contact with the interior of the well, as is a temperature measurement element. A control system can independently control the temperature of the contents of the well based on information provided by the temperature measurement element for that well.

  • Publication number: 20050203898
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, a computer program product and a system for processing documents that contain chemical names. The system has a unit to partition document text and to assign semantic meaning to words; a unit to recognize any substructures present in the chemical name fragments; and a unit to determine structural connectivity information of the chemical name fragments and recognized substructures and to store the determined structural connectivity information in a searchable index. The system further includes a unit to search a text index using at least one of a fragment name and a substructure name and to search the structure index by at least one of fragment connectivity and substructure connectivity. At an intersection of the search results from the structure index and the text index, the system operates to identify at least one document that contains a reference to a corresponding chemical compound.
