Abstract: This invention allows the use of standard e-mail systems by a document capture system to solicit document metadata from a user. The document capture system sends an e-mail to the user associated with the captured document. The e-mail body contains the names of the metadata properties supported by the repository system for the captured document. An attachment to the e-mail consists of a screen resolution image of the first page of the captured document to remind the user about the particular document for which metadata is being requested. The user edits a reply e-mail body to supply metadata values for each of the metadata property names. When the user sends the reply, the document capture system extracts the metadata values from the e-mail body and stores the supplied metadata values and the captured document into the repository.

Abstract: A device for the horizontal electroblotting of electrophoretically transferred material comprising a fluid tight container having a floor, a lid and side walls extending between the floor and the lid for defining a chamber, a support assembly located in the chamber for supporting the material to be electroblotted, a first electrode provided below the support assembly and a second electrode provided above the support assembly and a barrier provided in the chamber between the first electrode and the support assembly for diverting bubbles produced by the first electrode so as to prevent the bubbles from accumulating on the support assembly during the electroblotting of the electrophoretically transferred material.
