Abstract: A method includes flowing an incorporation reagent through a reagent management system and a flow cell of an instrument. The flow cell having a first polynucleotide positioned therein. The incorporation reagent adding a first base onto a sequence of bases. The sequence of bases includes a second polynucleotide complementary to the first polynucleotide. An image of an identification signal emanating from the first base is captured after the first base has been added onto the second polynucleotide. A cleavage reagent is flowed through the reagent management system and flow cell to remove a first terminator from the first base in order to enable a subsequent base in the sequence of bases to be added to the second polynucleotide. A buffer reagent is flowed through the reagent management system and flow cell in a plurality of cycles of consecutive forward and reverse flow directions.

Abstract: The present invention is a gear driven louver shutter system, wherein each louver of the shutter system is attached to the end of a pinion on at least one end. A plurality of teeth of each pinion is engaged with a gear track disposed within each frame member. When one louver is adjusted, all the louvers in the shutter system will move accordingly, due to the movement of the gear strip rotating the pinions in that frame member at the same rate.

Abstract: A transmission device of an electronic lock, disposed in a lock body, each of both sides of the lock body is provided with a rose assembly, connected respectively to a handle, to drive a driving seat to bring a latch bolt of a latch unit into action. The transmission device is controlled electronically, comprising: a positioning element, a motor, an elastic element, a rod, a clutch element, and a spring. The clutch element is slideable in the spindle, to move between a first position where the clutch element engages with the spindle and a second position where the clutch element disengages from the spindle, such that when the clutch element engages with the spindle, the spindle drives the driving seat, to retract the latch bolt of the latch unit.

Abstract: The present invention is a gear driven louver shutter system, wherein each louver of the shutter system is attached to the end of a pinion at both its ends. The base of each pinion is engaged with a gear strip disposed within each frame member, with a glide strip having a channel for the gear strip to glide within. When one louver is adjusted, all the louvers in the shutter system will move accordingly, due to the movement of the gear strip rotating the pinions in that frame member at the same rate. The glide strip may be held within the frame member by a friction fit or a clamping groove on the inside wall of the frame member.

Abstract: The present invention is a gear driven louver shutter system, wherein each louver of the shutter system is attached to the end of a pinion at both its ends. The base of each pinion is engaged with two gear strips disposed within a frame member. The arrangement is provided such that when one louver is adjusted, all the louvers in the shutter system will move accordingly. The gear strip and pinion system eliminates the need for a tilt bar. In a preferred embodiment, louvers of the system engage with pin connectors or clips to attach to the pinions. The pin connectors or clips allow for the louvers to attach to the pinons without requiring a tool. In an embodiment, the louvers will have a S-shape profile, to allow for light to be completely blocked when the shutter system is closed.
