A PUNCH CARD FOR DECAY STUDIES

Punch Card Programmable Microfluidics

Small volume fluid handling in single and multiphase microfluidics provides a promising strategy for efficient bio-chemical assays, low-cost point-of-care diagnostics and new approaches to scientific discoveries. However multiple barriers exist towards low-cost field deployment of programmable microfluidics. Incorporating multiple pumps, mixers and discrete valve based control of nanoliter flui...

Punch card data processing in haematology.

A method of processing haematological laboratory data based on the IBM 870 system is described. As the cards are being punched with the identification particulars of the patient and source of the sample, a worksheet is automatically generated on which the tests are indicated. The results of the laboratory tests are recorded by the technician on the worksheet and reproduced on the punch cards wh...

A punch for Guthrie papers.

Commutator-operated digital caliper with visual display and card-punch capacity.

A variety of automatic and semiautomatic measuring devices with print-out, card-punch, and paper-tape capacity have been used in the analysis of lateral head radiographs, posteroanterior head radiographs, and oblique-jaw views. Such devices include the tape-printing GOAT ' the card punching GADRS-4 and GADRS5,T and the OSCAR.T These automatic measuring instruments have satisfactory readout accu...

Science with a punch

There are changes afoot in the way that US granting agencies, most notably the NIH, evaluate proposals. Change can be a good thing, and it is probably high time that the NIH reassessed how grants are evaluated. Frankly, I was becoming blasé about the entire granting process. It seemed that once I became inured to the low probability of funding, competition from the mega-labs, and the shift towa...
