20090113050 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED SESSION RESOURCE CLEAN-UP IN A DISTRIBUTED CLIENT-SERVER ENVIRONMENT - A system and method of automatic session resource clean-up resulting from a client-server session wherein the client has requested use of server resources during the session. During each session, a list of the resources allocated to that session and associated with the client is maintained and, when the session terminates, either naturally or unnaturally, the allocated resources are released or freed up, allowing later use of the same resources by a different session, either with the same client or with a different client. A session may terminate naturally because a program which is using the resource (such as a database) has completed its operation and ended normally. A session may also terminate unnaturally, e.g., because the connection between the client and the server has been broken for some reason or because a program has aborted or become hung in an inoperative state. Because such unnatural terminations do not normally provide a farewell message from the client to the server—only silence, from the lack of further processing messages—there is no way for the server to release the resource and no naturally occurring message to the server that the client is not present. The present invention overcomes these disadvantages by determining when a session has ended and releasing the resources associated with the client. | 04-30-2009 |

20120000297 | LIQUID COLLECTING SYSTEM AND A METHOD THEREFOR - A blood collecting apparatus includes a cleaning solution piping. The cleaning solution piping feeds into a flow path a heparin solution which is a liquid other than blood to be measured, in order to return the blood present in the flow path to a catheter disposed upstream of a blood inlet of the flow path. Thus, the blood having flowed into the flow path in an amount more than is necessary for blood collection, which corresponds to a portion returned to the upstream catheter of the blood to be measured present in the flow path, can be used in a next blood collection. As a result, the amount of collected blood can be reduced. The liquid to be measured is separated apart by means of a gas, and the flow path is cleaned in a way to leave no impurities in the flow path, thereby preventing impurities from mixing into the liquid to be measured. | 01-05-2012 |

The built-in self-test circuit programmably generates and outputs a pattern for a memory test in accordance with an instruction inputted through the TAP controller, and compares data read from the external memory with an expected value. | 10-23-2008 |
20140373642 | SAMPLE PRETREATMENT SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS MULTISYSTEM CONFIGURATION - A host system recognizes a sample pretreatment system at which a primary sample has first arrived and records the information, if multiple containers containing the primary sample are input. Upon issuing an analysis request to the sample pretreatment system, the host system determines whether the primary sample (sample bearing the same barcode for sample identification) is input to a system different from the system to which the sample was input for the first time and, if that is the case, then determines that “the sample is input to the wrong system” and issues a “do-nothing request” (request to do nothing) so that an aliquoting operation will not be performed. Given the “do-nothing request” from the host system, the sample pretreatment system does not prepare any aliquot sample and places the input sample onto a tray in a predetermined position. | 12-25-2014 |
20150031143 | SYSTEM FOR PRETREATING SAMPLE - A sample pretreatment system is equipped with a pipetting device for pipetting multiple primary samples to make multiple aliquot samples. The sample volume expected to be held in a test tube is set as a minimum guaranteed volume for each type of test tube; and a minimum guaranteed volume value is set for each type of the test tubes. A cumulative totaling unit adds up cumulatively the aliquot volumes of the aliquot samples based on pipetting request information with regard to the supplied test tubes. A reading unit reads the minimum guaranteed volume of the supplied test tube; and an aliquot sample preparation unit compares the minimum guaranteed volume successively with the cumulative total values of the aliquot volumes of the aliquot samples, and causes a pipetting device to pipette a maximum number of the aliquot samples in a manner not exceeding the minimum guaranteed volume. | 01-29-2015 |

20090093375 | DNA or RNA detection and/or quantification using spectroscopic shifts or two or more optical cavities - A spectroscopic technique for high-sensitivity, label free DNA quantification uses a shift in an optical resonance (whispering gallery mode, WGM) excited in a micron-sized optical cavity (e.g., a silica sphere) to detect and measure nucleic acids. The surface of the silica sphere is chemically modified with oligonucleotides. Hybridization to the target DNA leads to a red-shift of the optical resonance wavelength. The sensitivity of this resonance technique is higher than most optical single-pass devices such as surface plasmon resonance biosensors. Each microsphere can be identified by its unique resonance wavelength. Specific, multiplexed DNA detection may be provided by using two or more microspheres. The multiplexed signal from two or more microspheres illustrates that a single nucleotide mismatch in an 11-mer oligonucleotide can be discriminated with a high signal-to-noise of 54. This all-photonic WGM biosensor can be integrated on a chip, such as a semiconductor chip, which makes it an easy to manufacture, analytic component for a portable, robust lab-on-a-chip device. | 04-09-2009 |
20090190136 | DETECTING AND/OR MEASURING A SUBSTANCE BASED ON A RESONANCE SHIFT OF PHOTONS ORBITING WITHIN A MICROSPHERE - Detecting and/or measuring a substance based on a resonance shift of photons orbiting within a microsphere of a sensor. Since the resonance of the microsphere has a large quality factor, the sensor is extremely sensitive. The sensor includes the microsphere coupled with at least one optical fiber. The surface of the microsphere includes receptors complementary to the substance. The at least one optical fiber can be provided with at least one additional microsphere having a surface free of the receptors. Resonance shifts observed in such an additional microsphere(s) can be attributed to factors unrelated to the presence of the substance. The resonance shift observed in the microsphere with the receptors can be compensated based on the resonance shift of the additional microsphere(s) to remove the influence of these other factors. | 07-30-2009 |
20140177024 | METHODS USING AN INTENSE CONTROL LIGHT AT A FIRST WAVELENGTH TO CAUSE A WHISPERING GALLERY MODE RESONATOR TO SELF TUNE AT A SECOND WAVELENGTH, AND APPARATUS EMPLOYING SUCH METHODS SUCH AS OPTICAL PASS/STOP BAND FILTERS AND OPTICAL DEMULTIPLEXERS - An all-photonic method to cause a WGM resonator to self-tune to a given wavelength is described. Such all photonic approaches include simply superimposing intense light of a wavelength in a range different from that of a signal wave. The wavelength of the pass band for the signal wavelength can be tuned by adjusting the wavelength (and/or the intensity) of the intense light. | 06-26-2014 |

20110091334 | Variable Displacement Compressor - A variable displacement compressor having a swash plate capable of being changed with inclination angle for converting the rotation of a drive shaft into the reciprocating motion of pistons comprises a plurality of urging means each having one end brought into contact with the swash plate and urging the swash plate in the direction of increasing an inclination angle of the swash plate, wherein the plurality of urging means are constructed so that the number of urgings is increased as the inclination angle of the swash plate is decreased. The freedom of adjustment of the urging force due to the urging means for increasing the inclination angle of the swash plate can be enlarged by a simple structure, and the urging force can be finely adjusted in accordance with the inclination angle of the swash plate. Consequently, the adjustment of the urging force due to the urging means for urging the swash plate in the inclination angle increasing direction can be optimized, and the swash plate can be allowed to perform a desirable operation near the minimum inclination angle. | 04-21-2011 |
