Patent Kalejs, Juris P [Wellesley, MA]; Chalmers, Bruce [Falmouth, MA]; Surek, Thomas [Englewood, CO]

Capillaries for use in a multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system

Patent Yeung, Edward S [Ames, IA]; Chang, Huan-Tsang [Silver Spring, MD]; Fung, Eliza N [Ames, IA]

The invention provides a side-entry optical excitation geometry for use in a multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system. A charge-injection device is optically coupled to capillaries in the array such that the interior of a capillary is imaged onto only one pixel. In Sanger-type 4-label DNA sequencing reactions, nucleotide identification ("base calling") is improved by using two long-pass filters to split fluorescence emission into two emission channels. A binary poly(ethyleneoxide) matrix is used in the electrophoretic separations.

Capillary test specimen, system, and methods for in-situ visualization of capillary flow and fillet formation

Patent Hall, Aaron C [Albuquerque, NM]; Hosking, F. Michael (Albuquerque, NM),; Reece, Mark [Albuquerque, NM]

A capillary test specimen, method, and system for visualizing and quantifying capillary flow of liquids under realistic conditions, including polymer underfilling, injection molding, soldering, brazing, and casting. The capillary test specimen simulates complex joint geometries and has an open cross-section to permit easy visual access from the side. A high-speed, high-magnification camera system records the location and shape of the moving liquid front in real-time, in-situ as it flows out of a source cavity, through an open capillary channel between two surfaces having a controlled capillary gap, and into an open fillet cavity, where it subsequently forms a fillet onmore » « less

Extrinsic fiber optic displacement sensors and displacement sensing systems

Patent Murphy, Kent A [Roanoke, VA]; Gunther, Michael F [Blacksburg, VA]; Vengsarkar, Ashish M [Scotch Plains, NJ]; ...

An extrinsic Fizeau fiber optic sensor comprises a single-mode fiber, used as an input/output fiber, and a multimode fiber, used purely as a reflector, to form an air gap within a silica tube that acts as a Fizeau cavity. The Fresnel reflection from the glass/air interface at the front of the air gap (reference reflection) and the reflection from the air/glass interface at the far end of the air gap (sensing reflection) interfere in the input/output fiber. The two fibers are allowed to move in the silica tube, and changes in the air gap length cause changes in the phasemore » « less

Lateral displacement and rotational displacement sensor

Patent Duden, Thomas

A position measuring sensor formed from opposing sets of capacitor plates measures both rotational displacement and lateral displacement from the changes in capacitances as overlapping areas of capacitors change. Capacitances are measured by a measuring circuit. The measured capacitances are provided to a calculating circuit that performs calculations to obtain angular and lateral displacement from the capacitances measured by the measuring circuit.
