Abstract: A thermalcycler is constructing with a first thermalcycler body section of a flexible circuit material or a circuit board material. The first thermalcycler body section has a first face. A first cavity portion is formed in the first face. A second thermalcycler body section is constructed of a flexible circuit material or a circuit board material. The second thermalcycler body section has a second face. A second cavity portion is formed in the second face. When the first cavity portion and the second cavity portion are positioned together they form a cavity. A thermalcycler unit is positioned in the cavity. The first thermalcycler body section and the second thermalcycler body section are connected together with the first face and the face opposed to each other and the thermalcycler unit operatively connected to the first cavity portion and the second cavity portion.

Abstract: A polymerase chain reaction system provides an upper temperature zone and a lower temperature zone in a fluid sample. Channels set up convection cells in the fluid sample and move the fluid sample repeatedly through the upper and lower temperature zone creating thermal cycling.

Abstract: A sleeve-type silicon polymerase chain reaction (PCR) chamber or thermocycler having improved thermal performance. The silicon sleeve reaction chamber is improved in thermal performance by etched features therein that reduce thermal mass and increase the surface area of the sleeve for cooling. This improved thermal performance of the thermocycler enables an increase in speed and efficiency of the reaction chamber. The improvement is accomplished by providing grooves in the faces of the sleeve and a series of grooves on the interior surfaces that connect with grooves on the faces of the sleeve. The grooves can be anisotropically etched in the silicon sleeve simultaneously with formation of the chamber.

Abstract: A nuclear fuel assembly support grid formed from a lattice structure having an egg-crate design with the interior lattice straps joined to a perimeter strap generally at least three locations along its length; with at least two of those locations being affixed by shear joints. The shear joints are formed from weld tabs extending from the ends of the interior lattice straps, at appropriate locations, which fit into corresponding slots in the perimeter strap. The weld tabs are then brazed or welded, as appropriate to the base metals being joined, after being inserted. The weld segments can be designed with twist tabs at their end, that can be deformed after being inserted into the corresponding slots in the peripheral strap, to hold the fixture in place while it is being bonded. In another embodiment, the interior lattice straps are joined to the perimeter strap by two shear joints formed respectively at the very top and bottom of the interface.
