    摘要: A method for determining physical parameters of a liquid to be aspirated and/or dispensed by a laboratory automation device comprises: picking up of a pipette with the laboratory automation device; lowering the pipette into a sample container with the laboratory automation device, the sample container containing the liquid; aspirating and dispensing air and liquid with the laboratory automation device in such a way, that a liquid level in the pipette solely rises in a first step and solely lowers in a second step, such that an interior surface of the pipette is wetted with liquid solely one time; and during aspirating and dispensing air and liquid, measuring a pressure curve in the pipette and determining the physical parameters from the pressure curve, the physical parameters comprising at least one of a surface tension, a wetting angle and a viscosity.

    摘要: A method and a smart gas Internet of things (IoT) system for metering anti-interference of a gas ultrasonic meter. The IoT system including a smart gas user platform, a smart gas service platform, a smart gas sensing network platform, a smart gas object platform, and a smart gas device management platform. The method may be performed by the smart gas device management platform. The method may include: transmitting at least two sound waves of different frequencies at at least two time-dividing points and receiving at least two echo signals by the gas ultrasonic meter. The at least two time-dividing points may be determined at least based on time-dividing point correlation data; determining, based on the at least two echo signals, a gas flow difference; determining, based on the gas flow difference, whether a noise interference exists; and in response to a determination that the noise interference exists, adjusting a gas metering strategy.

    摘要: An example self-priming microfluidic structure can include a microfluidic channel including a floor and a ceiling. A channel height is defined as a distance between the floor and the ceiling. A channel height step can be in the floor, or ceiling, or both. The channel height downstream of the channel height step can be greater than the channel height upstream of the channel height step. An interior pillar can be positioned in the microfluidic channel extending from the floor to the ceiling. The interior pillar can include a widening portion at an upstream end of the interior pillar and a tapering portion at a downstream end of the interior pillar. The interior pillar can overlap the channel height step so that the interior pillar is partially upstream of the channel height step and partially downstream of the channel height step.
