20130017553 | PIPETTES, METHODS OF USE, AND METHODS OF STIMULATING AN OBJECT OF INTEREST - The present invention features a freestanding microfluidic pipette with both solution exchange capability and fluid re-circulation, enabling highly localized and contamination- free fluid delivery within a confined volume in the vicinity of the pipette exit. Preferably, the device features direct positioning, so the pipette can be directed at a point or object of interest, such as a biological or artificial cell, a defined surface area or a sensor element within an open volume, using micro- or nanopositioning techniques. One aspect of the invention provides a free-standing pipette. The free-standing pipette includes a microfluidic device comprising one or more channels with exits leading into an open-volume and a positioning device programmed to hold the microfluidic device at an angle from a horizontal axis. | 01-17-2013 |
20140147930 | MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE WITH HOLDING INTERFACE, AND METHODS OF USE - Aspects of the present invention provide a freestanding microfluidic pipette with integrated wells for solution storage. Further aspects of the invention provide a holding interface to provide connectivity with external control components. One aspect of the invention provides a system for applying a microfluidic device in microscopy. The system includes: a microfluidic device having an elongated shape and defining one or more wells for solution storage and processing; and an interface adapted and configured to hold the microfluidic device in a freestanding manner and facilitate simultaneous connection of the one or more wells with a flow controller. Another aspect of the invention provides a method for utilizing a microfluidic device. The method includes: providing a device as described herein; positioning the device adjacent to a microscope; and actuating the interface to operate the microfluidic device. | 05-29-2014 |

20100026496 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF A DECODER OF A RFID RECEIVER - A method for synchronizing a RFID receiver, comprising receiving an input signal from a RFID tag, said input signal comprising a preamble section, creating a first reference waveform, comprising at least a fraction of said preamble section, calculating a first correlation value by correlating said input signal and said first reference waveform, creating a second reference signal so that there is virtually zero correlation between said first reference waveform and said second reference waveform, and using said first correlation value and said second correlation value for adjusting synchronization timebase, wherein the sign and the size of said second correlation value indicates the size and the sign of phase inaccuracy of the synchronization timebase. | 02-04-2010 |
20100225303 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MULTICHANNEL MULTIFREQUENCY ANALYSIS OF AN OBJECT - A method for multichannel multifrequency analysis of an object, applying a set of excitation signals to the object and sampling the response signal from the object, using uniform and non-uniform undersampling. Non-uniform sampling of the response signal is performed, i.e., the sampling is performed for two or more different frequencies in one observation time slot. Also, uniform sampling of the response signal is performed, i.e., the sampling of a signal, corresponding to one frequency, is performed for two or more channels within one observation time slot and then sampling the same signal for another frequency for two or more channels within the next observation time slot. | 09-09-2010 |
20130179441 | Method for determining digital content preferences of the user - Method for determining digital content preferences of the user is combining content access logs with additional information representing user physical activity patterns. For additional information describing changes in user activity pattern recordings from different sensors, like accelerometer, tilt sensor, magnetometer, e-field sensor, etc. integrated into handheld device will be used. Certain typical sensor patterns present higher or lower user interest comparing to an average. | 07-11-2013 |
