  • Patent number: 10625260
    Abstract: An analysis system may perform operations on an analyte that may be combined with multiple regents prior to being introduced into a flow cell. The instrument may include a volume into which the reagents to be combined with the analyte are aspirated one-by-one. The volume may be formed as a serpentine channel in a valve manifold associated with sippers for aspirating the reagents. The reagents may then be mixed by cycling a pump to move the reagents within the mixing volume or channel. For this, the reagents may be aspirated from a recipient into the volume or channel, ejected back into the recipient, and this process may be performed repeatedly to enhance mixing.

  • Patent number: 10537892
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and techniques for providing for enhanced fluid mixing in a sample vial. A plunger head may be removably housed inside of a cap that is attached to a container; the cap may have an opening allowing a shaft, e.g., a probe or sipper shaft, to be inserted into the cap and into the plunger head. The shaft may be used to push the plunger head free of the cap, and then to reciprocate the plunger head within the container to mix the content. Withdrawal of the shaft may then cause the plunger head to disengage from the shaft and remain in the container.

  • Patent number: 10443389
    Abstract: A turbine blade, airfoil, and rotor stage for a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The turbine blade, airfoil, and rotor stage each includes an uncoated airfoil profile in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y, and Z disclosed herein. The resulting airfoil exhibits high flutter margins, thus enabling the gas turbine engine to be operated at an increased power output while avoiding operational limitations required in known gas turbine engines.
