| 20110008797 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE THERMAL CONTROL OF TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT ENZYMATIC REACTIONS USING MAGNETIC PARTICLES OR MAGNETIC BEADS AND ALTERNATING MAGNETIC FIELDS - The invention relates to a method for the thermal control of at least one temperature-dependent enzymatic reaction in the presence of magnetic particles, particularly nanoparticles, or magnetic beads in vitro by means of the heating of the magnetic beads or magnetic particles to at least one certain target temperature by means of alternating magnetic fields. The enzymatic reaction which can be controlled with the method according to the invention is preferably a PCR reaction or another reaction for the elongation or amplification of nucleic acids, including DNA, RNA or hybrids or derivatives thereof, which takes place directly on the functionalized magnetic beads. Further aspects of the invention relate to a reactor for carrying out the method and the use of the method or the reactor in analytics and diagnostics. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20100198798 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STORING AND READING A FILE HAVING A MEDIA DATA CONTAINER AND A METADATA CONTAINER - A concept is disclosed for outputting a file having a media data container and a metadata container, the concept including providing an error information related to a data sample and storing the error information together with a sample number related to the data sample in the metadata container. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100025453 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE GENERATION OF ULTRASONIC WIRE BONDS - A method for generating a wire bond between a wire and an electrical contact member is provided. The method comprising the steps of: pressing a first surface of a portion of the wire against a second surface of the electrical contact member with a first force while vibrating the portion of the wire along the second surface in order to generate a bond; measuring the time dependent vibration amplitude of the portion of the wire at a number of discrete time steps during the generation of the bond; measuring the time dependent deformation of said portion of the wire due to said applied first force and said vibration at a number of discrete time steps during the generation of the bond; and generating a time dependent first signal from at least said vibration amplitude and said deformation at a number of discrete time steps during the generation of the bond that is a direct measure of the stability of the bond at the respective time step. | 02-04-2010 |
