Patent
Conducting polymer actuator
TL;DR: In this paper, stretch aligned conducting polymers are used as active members of actuators to achieve force per unit area of at least 10 MPa, when an electrical potential is applied across the electrolyte between the active member and the counter electrode.
Patent
Apparatus for assay, synthesis and storage, and methods of manufacture, use, and manipulation thereof
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method of making devices, or "platens" having a high-density array of through-holes, as well as methods of cleaning and refurbishing the surfaces of the platens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fast contracting polypyrrole actuators
TL;DR: In this article, shaped voltage pulses are applied to polypyrrole linear and bilayer actuators to generate strain rates of up to 3% s y1, with peak power to mass ratios of 39 W kg y1 of polymer, nearly matching mammalian skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: The hybrid approach described here combines the superior accuracy, precision and dynamic range of RT-PCR with the parallelism of a microarray in an array of 3072 real time, 33 nl polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCRs) the size of a microscope slide.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system for holding at least one sample and reagent for analysis is described, which includes a pair of parallel covers (22, 23), at least 1 of which is light transmissive, of which pair one forms a top and the other forms a bottom, and a frame between the covers to define, in relation to the covers, an interior volume.
