  • Patent number: 9865109
    Abstract: A system for controlling an electronic lock of a remote device is disclosed. The system includes an input unit configured to receive a user code. The system includes a lock controller connected to the input unit and configured to transmit the user code to a power distribution unit. The system includes a memory configured to store a user access table of user codes associated with users having access to the remote device. The power distribution unit is configured to determine whether the user code is in the user access table. The power distribution unit is configured to communicate, to the lock controller, an indication to unlock the electronic lock when the user code is in the table of user codes.

  • Patent number: 8394326
    Abstract: A flow cytometer is provided which includes an interrogation flow cell and a plurality of assay fluidic lines extending into the interrogation flow cell. A method of operating such a flow cytometer includes priming the interrogation flow cell with a sheath fluid and injecting different assay fluids into a flow of the sheath fluid through the plurality of fluidic lines. A fluidic line assembly is provided which includes a plurality of capillary tubes coupled to a base section configured for coupling to an interrogation flow cell assembly of a flow cytometer. The capillary tubes are dimensionally configured such that when the fluidic line assembly is arranged within the flow cytometer and fluid is dispensed from one or more of the capillary tubes at a given pressure differential with respect to an encompassing sheath fluid within the interrogation flow cell the fluid is substantially centrally aligned within the interrogation flow cell.

  • Patent number: 8250021
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided which include configurations for the reassigning unit locations of a classification matrix at which two or more classification regions overlap as non-classification regions. In addition, methods and systems are provided which include configurations for mathematically creating classification regions which may be characterized by values which more accurately correspond to measured values of particles. Other embodiments of methods and systems include configurations for acquiring data corresponding to measurable parameters of a particle and identifying a location within a classification matrix to which at least some of the data corresponds.
