Throughout the drug discovery industry, PlateCranes have been used to increase the efficiency of numerous High Throughput Screens involving complex methods, such as FLIPR, Reporter, ELISA and FRET assays. I think the original story came about because of some developers seeing the plate stack (like you often see in buffet restaurants). Stephen King regularly references Pez when writing about Kids back in the days when he was young en. The PlateCrane is optimized for loading and unloading automated lab instruments, such as microplate readers, microplate washers, automatable centrifuges and reagent dispensers.

The PlateCrane is also used to move microplates and filter plates in high throughput, automated DNA Plasmid Prep systems. The maximum operating temperature is 200 °C, and combined with a high frequency operation, they are a perfect match for applications, where high temperature and high frequency is a challenge. With its built-in plate gripper and on-board controller, the PlateCrane pioneered the concept of a small, microplate robot serving multiple instruments, often from several different instrument manufacturers. This tutorial describes dynamic applications, where dynamics (acceleration, damping) can be neglected. These top plates became poorly balanced with nothing holding tightly them in place making them very unstable.

The photos include a wide range of astronomical subjects, such as Hailey’s Comet, galaxies, eclipses, the Horsehead Nebula and Pluto. Noliac offers high quality piezoelectric components as monolayer or multilayer products with market leading performance, reliability and dimensions. We also offer piezoelectric materials and design of plug-and-play piezo-based solutions as sensors, transducers, drivers or motors based on our knowledge and experiences in the field. He received his Masters from the University of Glasgow in Technical Art History and his BA from Yale University in the History of Art. Re your "second trivial question": I've seen considerable inconsistency in defining what "up" and "down" mean!

Mainly to explain how a stack works, but I think it would work fairly well as an explanation of the terms. In this application, users requiring barcode labels to track the microplates used in their assays can print custom labels on thousands of microplates by just setting up the PlateCrane Workcell with sufficient plates and letting it run unattended. I believe this means putting lower-numbered addresses above higher-numbered addresses in most implementations, especially since I think CPUs are usually optimized to INCREMENT the program counter after performing an instruction.Interfaces are available to more than 150 microplate-based instruments, including virtually every reader, lab incubator, dispenser and pipettor commonly used in laboratories today. BioTek BioStack microplate stacker is a compact and versatile microplate stacker, compatible with Agilent BioTek washers, dispensers, plate readers, and imaging systems. So my answer is that stacks conceptually never grow either "downward" or "upward" but simply grow from their base. We design, develop and manufacture the total range of piezoelectric products - from powders to mono- and multilayer components and all the way to finished plug-and-play applications. Even in a system with segregated ROM/RAM fixed data allocations are easiest to build from the bottom up and thus replace the code portion of the above explanation.

Whether you run a pub, restaurant, hotel or contract catering company, you'll find a huge range of tableware, kitchen equipment, barware and catering appliances to ensure business runs smoothly. The only suggestion I have is something like a spring-loaded magazine for a handgun, where rounds are "pushed" into it and can be "popped" out, but that seems a little unlikely.

As to stacks growing downwards in memory, remember that When dealing with hierarchical data structures (trees), most programmers are happy to draw one on a page with the base (or trunk) at the top of the page.

Many PlateCranes are currently being used to automate the application of barcode labels to microplates. Comes with optional power-management, computer stand, utility entrance, safety enclosure and communication cable routing. e. the plate which has been placed at the bottommost position remains in the stack for the longest period of time. When used for teaching robot positions, the Teaching Plate serves as a standard gauge to allow the PlateCrane to auto-adjust to the exact height of actual plates when operating under SoftLinx control.In particular, the East Campus Commons Cafeteria at MIT had spring loaded stacks of plates in the 1957-1967 time frame.
