Abstract: A reconfigurable automated system is provided. The system comprises a backbone including a plurality of docking ports, at least one module including a connector for releasably coupling the module to the backbone, and a motion unit, connected to the backbone, for providing an object to the module when the module is coupled to the backbone. The module connector and one of the docking ports form a connection interface, including a mechanical alignment device and an electrical connection, when the module is operationally coupled to the backbone.

Abstract: Several classes of in vivo carbon monoxide-releasing compounds are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases, such as chronic inflammatory, e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, and of diseases with a strong inflammatory component, such as atherosclerosis, stroke, coronary disease, and Alzheimers disease. The in vivo carbon monoxide-releasing compounds can be attached to known drug vectors and/or known anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for screening drugs from candidate compounds selected from a library. The system includes multiple hardware components and a computer software system for scheduling and coordinating the operations of the hardware components. A user of the system requests a series of assays to be performed on the candidate compounds. Each assay is associated with a test acceptance criteria. Interdependencies of these assays may be specified. The software system schedules the hardware components to run each assay with minimum hardware idle time possible based on the assays requested and the interdependencies of these assays specified. The software system coordinates and directs the flow of samples and data through the system. A decision whether a sample can proceed to the next assay as scheduled may be made automatically based on test acceptance criteria, or manually modified by the user. All assays can be performed in an automated fashion once the samples are provided to the system.

Abstract: A thermally conducting multi-layer film which includes of a first layer configured by an electrically insulating, thermally conducting, filled in, highly elastic elastomer layer which due to its gel characteristics can be permanently molded onto the uneven surface structure of an electronic circuit, and at least one second layer which is considerably thinner than the first layer and firmly linked therewith. The second layer is configured as a PCM layer which is applied to the first layer and thins out and/or brings about a change of state under the influence of pressure and/or temperature when a cooling body or housing element is applied.

Abstract: The present invention relates to molybdenum carbonyl complexes useful for inhibiting tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production and for treating inflammatory diseases.

Abstract: A method of processing objects using a bilateral architecture. The method comprises the steps of: arranging a plurality of instruments around a bi-directional conveyance device, the instruments spaced at fixed pitch intervals along the conveyor device; assigning dedicated movers to each of the instruments, the dedicated movers for loading and unloading of the objects to and from the instruments and the conveyance device; and controlling the operation of the conveyance device to have an interrupted motion, the interrupted motion for co-ordinating the loading and unloading of the objects; wherein the dedicated movers are positioned such that adjacent movers operate independently of one another. The method can be operated on an automated robotic system having a modular architecture.
