| 20100075296 | Thermal cycling by positioning relative to fixed-temperature heat source - A thermal cycling system and method are provided herein, The thermal cycling system for performing a biological reaction at two or more different temperatures comprises: a) a heat source for setting at a fixed temperature; b) a reaction vessel containing material upon which the biological reaction is to be performed; c) mechanically-operable means for altering the relative position of the heat source and the reaction vessel so that reaction vessel first achieves and maintains a desired first temperature in the reaction vessel for starting the carrying out of the biological reaction, and then for altering the relative position of the heat source and the reaction vessel so that reaction vessel then achieves and maintains a second temperate for continuing the carrying out of the biological reaction on the biological material, and d) temperature-sensing means operatively associated with the reaction vessel for controlling the altering of the relative position of the heat source and the reaction vessel so that the reaction vessel achieves and maintains the desired second temperature in the reaction vessel. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20080275229 | Method for increasing the speed of nucleic acid amplification reactions - The speed of a nucleic acid amplification reaction, such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), can be increased by setting the temperature of heat sources above and below the desired denaturation, annealing, and extension temperatures. The reaction mixture is only contacted with the heat sources long enough for the desired temperatures to be reached. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20100189152 | HIGH POWER SEMICONDUCTOR LASER DIODE - Semiconductor laser diodes, particularly broad area single emitter (BASE) laser diodes of high light output powers are commonly used in opto-electronics. Light output power and stability of such laser diodes are of crucial interest and any degradation during normal use is a significant disadvantage. The present invention concerns an improved design of such laser diodes, the improvement in particular significantly minimizing or avoiding (front) end section degradation at very high light output powers by controlling the current flow in the laser diode in a defined way. This is achieved by controlling the carrier injection, i.e. the injection current, into the laser diode in a novel way by creating single current injection points along the laser diode's longitudinal extension, e.g. along the waveguide. Further, the supply current/voltage of each single or group of current injection point(s) may be separately regulated, further enhancing controllability of the carrier injection. | 07-29-2010 |

Light output power and stability of such laser diodes are of crucial interest and any degradation during normal use is a significant disadvantage. The present invention concerns an improved design of such laser diodes, the improvement in particular significantly minimizing or avoiding degradation of such laser diodes at very high light output powers by controlling the current flow in the laser diode in a defined way. The minimization or avoidance of (front) end section degradation of such laser diodes significantly increases long-term stability compared to prior art designs. This is achieved by controlling the carrier injection into the laser diode in the vicinity of its facets in such a way that abrupt injection current peaks are avoided. To this, a current-blocking isolation layer ( | 09-02-2010 |

| 20100226487 | METHOD & APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE STATE OF A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A networked conferencing device includes at least one speaker, a display and a plurality of environmental sensors such as cameras, microphones, light level sensors, thermal sensors and motion sensors. The conferencing device receives environmental information from the sensors and processes this information to identify qualified events. The identified qualified events are then used to determine a next powered state for the conferencing device. If the next powered state is different than a current powered state, then the conferencing system transitions to the next powered state. | 09-09-2010 |

| 20090096396 | Method for Determining the Rotor Position of a Separately Excited Rotating Electrical Machine - A method is specified for determining the rotor position of a separately excited rotating electrical machine which machine has a stator winding set and a rotor winding set and in which method the stator winding set is fed from an associated converter unit, and the rotor winding set is fed from an associated exciter unit. First of all, the stator winding set is short-circuited by means of the converter unit. An exciter voltage signal is then applied to the rotor winding set by means of the exciter unit, which exciter voltage signal has a change from a variable first voltage value to a variable second voltage value: Furthermore, the stator current (Isa, Isb, Isc) is determined in each winding of the stator winding set, and a rotor position angle (θ) is calculated. | 04-16-2009 |
