Abstract: An analysis instrument may perform analytical operations on an analyte that is combined with multiple reagents prior to being introduced into a flow cell. The instrument may include a nozzle sipper that aspirates reagents from a recipient, along with an analyte. The reagents may be directed to a volume and may be repeatedly moved into and out of the volume by cycling of a pump. The reagents may be ejected into a destination recipient with the nozzle sipper promoting vorticity in the recipient to enhance mixing. The repeated aspiration and ejection through the nozzle sipper effectively mixes the reagents and the template in an automated or semi-automated fashion.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide the ability for a computing device to configure one microphone at a time from physically colocated devices to remain active for participating in a teleconference. In one example method, the computing device determines whether a first device with a first microphone on the teleconference is physically colocated with respect to a second device with a second microphone on the teleconference. When the first and second devices are physically colocated with respect to each other, the computing device configures either the first or second microphone to remain active for participating in the teleconference while the other of the first or second microphone is to be muted.

Abstract: A method includes, under control of control circuitry implementing a mixing protocol, aspirating reagents from multiple different reagent reservoirs into a cache channel. Designated amounts of the reagents are automatically aspirated from the corresponding reagent reservoirs by corresponding sippers based on the mixing protocol implemented by the control circuitry. The method also includes discharging the reagents from the cache channel into a mixing reservoir, and mixing the reagents within the mixing reservoir to form a reagent mixture.

In some examples, a computing device may include a first processing resource, a second processing resource, a first display controlled by the first processing resource, and a second display storable in a first position within a pocket of the first display and controlled by the second processing resource. The second processing resource may provide notification data content to the second display when the second display is stored within the first position and the first processing resource of the computing device is in a non-active mode. The second processing resource may share control of the second display with the first processing resource when the second display is in a second position extended from the first display and while the computing device is in an active mode.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to virtual reality/augmented reality signals. For example, a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to receive eye-tracking signals from a camera mounted on a display. The instructions can cause the processing resource to estimate a location on a display using the eye-tracking signals. The instructions can cause the processing resource to receive electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. The instructions can cause the processing resource to confirm the estimated location based on the eye-tracking signals and the EEG signals.
