    Abstract: A time attendance system, including a time attendance clock, designed to be used in harsh conditions, such as outdoor job sites. A portable touch button, including a passively readable code, is brought into contact with the time attendance clock so as to create a time attendance record stored in the clock. Visual indicators and audible notification alert the employee of the acceptance of the act. Periodically, the time attendance records are retrieved from the time attendance clock, such as by using a hand-held electronic device which communicates in a wireless manner with the time attendance clock.

    Abstract: A flexible optical marker is applied to an optical scale substrate to make an optical scale assembly for an optical position encoder. The marker may be a limit marker, index marker, or other type of marker. The marker substrate may be a plastic film such as polyester, singulated from a "recombine" roll created by a web process. The marker has a microstructured pattern on one surface that is covered with a reflective metal coating. The marker also has an adhesive layer and is affixed to the optical scale substrate by a process of aligning the marker to an edge of the scale and then applying pressure to the upper surface of the marker. The marker may be applied with a handle portion that is separated from the marker after the marker is affixed. The marker may be especially useful with a flexible scale substrate such as a metal tape substrate. By affixing the marker to the scale substrate as a separate step of making an encoder scale, various benefits such as reduced inventory, cost, and lead time may be achieved.

    Abstract translation: 将柔性光学标记应用于光学尺度基板以制造用于光学位置编码器的光学尺度组件。 标记可以是限制标记,指数标记或其他类型的标记。 标记基底可以是由通过网状过程产生的“重组”辊形成的塑料膜,例如聚酯。 标记在一个表面上具有被反射金属涂层覆盖的微结构图案。 标记还具有粘合剂层,并通过将标记物与标尺的边缘对准并且然后向标记物的上表面施加压力的方法固定到光学秤基底上。 标记物可以在标记物固定之后施加与标记物分离的手柄部分。 该标记可能对于诸如金属带基材之类的柔性标尺基底特别有用。 通过将标记附着到刻度尺基板上,作为制作编码器刻度的单独步骤,可以实现诸如减少库存,成本和提前期的各种益处。

    Abstract: Systems and methods for flow verification and validation of mass flow controllers are disclosed. A mass flow controller may be commanded to a specified flow and flow measurement commenced. During an interval, gas is accumulated in a first volume and measurements taken within this volume. The various measurements taken during the interval may then be used to calculate the flow rate. The flow rate, in turn, may be used to determine the accuracy of the mass flow controller relative to a setpoint.

The assays can be performed in the solution/suspension phase using magnetic microspheres as a solid support. Subsequently a magnetic separation can be performed to separate the bound analyte from the remainder of the solution. After a wash step, the fluorescence signal can be directly read from the magnetic particle surface. Portable biodetection systems which employ fluorescent polymer superquenching and methods for detecting bioagents therewith are also described.
