| 20110119999 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALL-TERRAIN LARGE-SCALE PRODUCTION OF ALGAE - A modular all-terrain algal production system that includes a plurality of segments. Each segment is made from one or more trays that are adapted to grow algae on their surface. The trays each have a flange end configured to be coupled to non-flanged end of an adjacent tray to form floways. Each floway has a rotatable surge bucket at one end that is able to hold water and spill the water in a wave down the floway into a catchment. The system is supported on uneven terrain by an adjustable structure arranged to provide each floway with a horizontal inclination. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110129812 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INJECTION OF CO2 OR STACK GASSES TO INCREASE ALGAL BIOMASS PRODUCTION - An algal production system that uses CO2 injections to promote the growth of algae. The system includes an algal growth medium within a floway for channeling water. A fluid diffuser also resides in the floway in proximity to the algal growth medium. The fluid diffuser injects CO2 into the water in the floway. The system further includes a detector for monitoring the pH levels of the water and a controller, which based on the measured pH levels, determines when and how much CO2 to inject into the water. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110154792 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVAL OF ALGAL BIOMASS FROM LARGE-SCALE ALGAL BIOMASS PRODUCTION SYSTEMS - A method and apparatus for harvesting algal growth on an algal growth medium that is arranged within a floway containing water. A cable coupled to the algal growth medium is pulled by a pulling unit to draw the algal growth medium along the floway and past a vacuum positioned adjacent the algal growth medium. Suction from the vacuum is used to remove or harvest the algal growth on the algal growth medium. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20100076185 | Selective Processing of Biological Material on a Microarray Substrate - The present invention provides methods and systems for selectively eluting biological material from a distinct spatial location on a microarray slide. In one aspect, for example, a method for recovering biological material coupled to a microarray slide can include selecting a biological material to be recovered from the microarray slide, finding the biological material within a distinct spatial region on the microarray slide surface, and eluting at least a portion of the selected biological material from the distinct spatial region without eluting substantial amounts of non-selected biological material from regions of the microarray slide that are not within the distinct spatial region. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100113288 | Modular System for Performing Laboratory Protocols and Associated Methods - Systems, devices, and methods for automating laboratory protocols utilizing modular processing components to allow systems to be reconfigured for processing a wide variety of disparate laboratory protocols are provided. In one aspect, a sample processing module is provided, including a housing configured to accommodate a pre-identified sample process, a standardized temperature input capable of interfacing with a temperature controller, a standardized fluid input capable of interfacing with an input fluid controller, and a standardized agitation connector capable of interfacing with an agitator. These standardized components provide interchangeability of the module with a module having a housing configured to accommodate a different pre-identified sample process in a sample processing system. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100167943 | System and Method for Hybridization Slide Processing - A system for the automated hybridization of a plurality of microarray slides. The system comprises an enclosure with a wash basin having an open top end, a lower carrier rotor disposed within the wash basin on a support axle for receiving a plurality of microarray slide substrates, and an upper clamp rotor disposed above the lower carrier rotor on the support axle for receiving a plurality of disposable mixers. The system is further configured so that lowering the upper clamp rotor to engage with the lower carrier rotor couples the plurality of mixers to the plurality of slide substrates to form a plurality of sealed reaction chambers, and raising the upper clamp rotor to disengage from the lower carrier rotor de-couples the plurality of mixers from the plurality of slide substrates to unseal the plurality of reaction chambers. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100200021 | Slide Conditioning Systems and Methods - A slide conditioning system comprises a basin, suitable to retain fluids therein, and a slide carrier having a bidirectional valve formed therein, the slide carrier adapted to carry a plurality of slides therein. A rotor arm is rotatable relative to the basin, the rotor arm being capable of carrying the slide carrier and applying centrifugal forces to the slide carrier as the rotor arm rotates. A fluidics system is also provided and a fluid coupling port is operable to selectively and fluidly mate with the bidirectional valve of the slide carrier while the slide carrier is carried by the rotor arm to fluidly couple the slide carrier to the fluidics system. | 08-12-2010 |
