The invention discloses a two-bed duplex tube medical diagnosis X-ray high frequency high voltage generator, which comprises a power supply and a central control unit, and also comprises a high frequency inverter circuit, a pulse-width modulation drive circuit and a high voltage commutation circuit. The generator converts the industrial power supply into two way high frequency high voltage, and then obtains positive end DC high voltage and negative end DC high voltage after the rectification and the filter to supply an X-ray pipet for working. Because the frequency is high and the high voltage ripple after the rectification and the filter is minimum, causing the X-ray pipet of a radiographic table and the X-ray pipet of an electric perspective table to work in turn under the condition of arranging only one set of high voltage supply. The equipment investment is saved, and the work of using the X-ray diagnosis for the medical staff is convenient. Being served as the high voltage supply, the invention is also suitable for the safety detection fields such as the industrial fault detection, the civil aviation, the station, the custom, etc., and supplies the stable high quality high voltage for the equipment.

The invention discloses a medical diagnosis X-ray high frequency high pressure generator, comprising a power supply, a central control unit, a high frequency inverter circuit, a pulse width modulation driving circuit and a high pressure transform and high pressure output circuit. The generator transforms the industrial power to two ways of high frequency and high pressure, a positive direct current high pressure and a negative direct current high pressure are obtained through rectifying and wave-filtering to provide an X-ray ball tube to work. As the frequency is high, the ripple of the rectified and wave-filtered high electric pressure is tiny, and the X-ray quality projected by the X-ray ball tube is high, and the clearance of photos of the perspective and photograph is also high. The X-ray ball tube of a photograph bed or the X-ray ball tube of an electric perspective bed can work if allocated with the high pressure power. The invention is convenient for the medical staff to use the X-ray to do the work of diagnosing diseases. As the high pressure power supply, the invention is also suitable in the safety inspection fields such as industrial flaw detection, civil aviation, station and customs etc, and provides a stable and high qualified high pressure power supply for the equipments.

A microfluidic device comprises a matrix of rotary flow reactors. The microfluidic matrix device offers a solution to the “world-to-chip” interface problem by accomplishing two important goals simultaneously: an economy of scale in reagent consumption is achieved, while simultaneously minimizing pipetting steps. N² independent assays can be performed with only 2N+1 pipetting steps, using a single aliquot of enzyme amortized over all reactors. The chip reduces labor relative to conventional fluid handling techniques by using an order of magnitude less pipetting steps, and reduces cost by consuming two to three orders of magnitude less reagents per reaction. A PCR format has immediate applications in medical diagnosis and gene testing. Beyond PCR, the microfluidic matrix chip provides a universal and flexible platform for biological and chemical assays requiring parsimonious use of precious reagents and highly automated processing.

A method for gathering medical information sorting it by statistically and medically based rules, and condensing it into a data set which enables medical providers to practice medicine in a more efficient manner. The medical information may be gathered from insurance billing records and patient responses to statistically-validated medical status questionnaires. The patient population may be a defined one, being composed of all patients in a group which is being treated by an individual medical provider or a group of providers at any particular time. The financial transactions to be monitored may be formatted electronically into one or more standard formats as well as medical diagnosis and medical procedure information which has been transmitted in standard codes. These data sets are gathered in electronic format by being copied from the feeder computer system into another computer which does the required rules-based data reduction.
