  • Publication number: 20240329067
    Abstract: A method for performing a function check of a fluid handling system can comprise dispensing a first reference dose of a fluid into a reference container using a first fluid dispenser, measuring a first fluid height of the first reference dose in the reference container with a fluid level sensing system of the fluid handling system, and changing a status of the fluid handling system based on the first measured first fluid height. Robotic fluid handling system can comprise controllers and computer readable memory configured to execute the methods described herein.

  • Patent number: 8149041
    Abstract: Provided are high-resolution parametric signal restoration systems, and applications thereof. Such systems include a multi-output module and a parametric compensator. The multi-output module provides a reference gain output signal and one or more higher gain output signals based on a single input signal. The parametric compensator independently responds to functional parameters of the one or more higher gain output signals to provide a compensation error signal. The single input signal is modified based on the compensation error signal.
