Systems and methods are providing for performing high-throughput, programmable, multiplexed assays of biological, chemical or biochemical systems. Preferably, a micro-pallet includes a small flat surface designed for single adherent cells to plate, a cell plating region designed to protect the cells, and shaping designed to enable or improve flow-through operation. The micro-pallet is preferably patterned in a readily identifiable manner and sized to accommodate a single cell to which it is comparable in size. Each cell thus has its own mobile surface. The cell can be transported from place to place and be directed into a system similar to a flow cytometer. Since, since the surface itself may be tagged (e.g., a bar code), multiple cells of different origin and history may be placed into the same experiment allowing multiplexed experiments to be performed.

A spinal implant device having an anatomical shape designed to mimic and restore normal human spinal anatomy. The devices comes in a range of sizes and are structured to specifically accommodate the structure of at least one of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. Once affixed to the vertebrae, the devices may be used to effectively fuse two or more vertebrae, or to stabilize the vertebrae and protect the posterior portions of the spinal cord. Adjustments for sagittal plane contouring may also be effected through cable tensioning via spinous process fixation.

A system and method for shallow water simulation may provide a framework for solving General Shallow Wave Equations (GSWE) to efficiently simulate 3D fluid effects on arbitrary surfaces using a height field representation. The height field representation may include height columns constructed along surface normals, which may be dependent on a condition of boundary cells adjacent to fluid cells and/or artificial viscosity effects. The framework may provide implicit schemes for solving for the effects of external forces applied to the fluid, including gravity and surface tension, and explicit schemes for solving for advection effects. The system and method may be implemented on general-purpose CPU(s) and/or GPU(s) and may be capable of simulating a variety of fluid effects including: waves, rivulets and streams, drops, and capillary events. In some embodiments, the system and method may achieve real-time fluid control and fluid shape design through user-interaction (e.g., in a graphical painting application).

The invention discloses a tunnel orthographic image acquisition system based on laser radar LIDAR point cloud data. The tunnel laser radar point cloud data of any shape design of section contour are unfolded into a measurable laser radar tunnel orthographic image map by using a skeleton line mileage projection method and a section contour projection method, and the image map acts as a reference base map and a target quantity color numerical analysis map is superposed on the image map in a semitransparent mode. The invention also provides a corresponding method. The generated laser radar tunnel orthographic image can truly reflect the measurable image of the size and the position of the internal wall of the tunnel and can generate a tunnel orthographic image map plane user report including "4D" information to visually display the three-dimensional section deformation and flatness of each part of the internal wall of the tunnel to tunnel structure detection users. The length, the width and the area of cracks, water seepage and other tunnel defects can be actually measured so that the geometric size of the defects can be calculated. The scientific basis is provided to assessment and restoration of the tunnel defects and the production efficiency of tunnel detection is greatly enhanced.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for constructing an L-shaped cabinet. Such a cabinet can hold equipment that regulates and controls both main and auxiliary electrical power for a set of traffic-signal lights. Service and traffic cabinets house equipment for regulating electrical power and for traffic control. This L-shaped cabinet can incorporate much of the functionality associated with both service and traffic cabinets into an all-in-one design.
