| 20090132222 | STATE TESTING DEVICE AND METHODS THEREOF - A test method for a data processing device includes determining both a current state of the device and a desired state of the device. A set of instructions to transition the data processing device from the current state to the target state is obtained by initially selecting a first source state from a set of possible source states and corresponding instructions that can transition the device to the desired state. The instruction associated with the first source state is placed on an instruction stack. The source state and instruction selection process is repeated until the selected source state corresponds to the current state of the device under test. The instructions in the stack are applied to the device under test, and the resulting device state compared to the specified state to determine a test result. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20120115756 | ACOUSTICALLY MEDIATED FLUID TRANSFER METHODS AND USES THEREOF - Invention methods employ the use of acoustic waves to transfer small amounts of fluid in a non-contact manner. In invention methods, acoustic waves are propagated through a separated pool of a source fluid in such a manner that causes the ejection of a single micro-droplet from the surface of the pool. The droplet is ejected towards a target with sufficient force to provide for contact of the droplet with the target. Because the fluid is not contacted by any fluid transfer device such as a pipette, the opportunities for contamination are minimized. Invention methods may be employed to transfer fluids from an array of source sites to an array of target sites, thereby enabling the precision automation of a wide variety of procedures including screening, and synthesis procedures commonly used in biotechnology. | 05-10-2012 |

| 20110094624 | ADZER SKID ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USE - An adzer skid assembly having a frame and a base plate attached to the frame. The base plate has an adzer unit attached thereto. The frame has a receptacle for slidably attaching the frame to a railroad track maintenance machine so that up and down motion of the railroad track maintenance machine does not produce up and down motion of the adzer skid assembly. Hydraulic cylinders are attached to the baseplate and are attached to skids, wherein the hydraulic cylinders raise and lower the skids relative to the frame and baseplate and determine the cutting depth of the adzer unit. During the adze cutting process the adzer unit is supported entirely by the skids as the skids move across railroad crossties. | 04-28-2011 |
