20090268195	Asymmetric capillary for capillary-flow cytometers - The present invention provides improved capillaries that lead to increased resolution in conventional capillary-flow cytometers. The cross-sectional shape of capillaries made according to the present invention lack a center of symmetry. In some embodiments, capillaries have inner side walls that are tilted at angles with respect to the collection-system optical axis so that the widest dimension of the inner bore is closest to the collection optical system and have an outer wall closest to the collection optical system with a dimension large enough to minimize the contribution of outer-wall refraction to the collected light signal. Exemplary capillary embodiments include tubes with a rectangular outer wall and a trapezoidal inner wall, a rectangular outer wall and a triangular inner wall, triangular outer and inner walls, a triangular outer wall with a trapezoidal inner wall, and a hemispherical or rhomboid outer wall and trapezoidal or triangular inner wall.	10-29-2009

20090256628	Reference Current Circuit and Low Power Bias Circuit Using the Same - A reference current circuit has an input configured to receive an input current, a first transistor, a second transistor, and an output configured to provide a reference current. The input is directly connected to a control input of the second transistor and a first terminal of the first transistor, and is connected via a first resistor to a control input of the first transistor. The output is connected to a first terminal of the second transistor. A reference node is connected via a second resistor to the control input of the first transistor, directly to a second terminal of the first transistor and via a third resistor to a second terminal of the second transistor.	10-15-2009
20100039160	Switch - A switch includes a switching transistor, a switching resistor, connected between a control terminal of the switching transistor and a switching control terminal, and an accelerating element. The accelerating element includes a resistance smaller than a resistance of the switching resistor, the accelerating element being adapted to be connected in parallel to the switching resistor upon switching of the switching transistor until a voltage at the control terminal of the switching transistor has reached a predetermined value.	02-18-2010
