Apparatus, systems, chips, and methods of performing a large number of simultaneous chemical reactions are provided herein. The chips of the invention comprise addressable units that can be addressed according to the temperature of the reaction to be run. The subject apparatus, systems, and chips are particularly suited for performing polymerase chain reactions on thousands of nucleic acid sequences, up to and including sequences of an entire genuine of an organism of interest.

Apparatus for high throughput chemical reactions

The present invention provides miniaturized instruments for conducting chemical reactions where control of the reaction temperature is desired or required. Specifically, this invention provides chips and optical systems for performing and monitoring temperature-dependent chemical reactions. The apparatus and methods embodied in the present invention are particularly useful for high-throughput and low-cost amplification of nucleic acids.

Thermo-controllable high-density chips for multiplex analyses

Apparatus, systems, chips, and methods of performing a large number of simultaneous chemical reactions are provided herein. The chips of the invention comprise addressable units that can be addressed according to the temperature of the reaction to be run. The subject apparatus, systems, and chips are particularly suited for performing polymerase chain reactions on thousands of nucleic acid sequences, up to and including sequences of an entire genome of an organism of interest.

Network data is received in a first format. The data is converted to a synchronous optical network (SONET) format. Switching functions are performed on the SONET formatted data. The SONET formatted data is converted to a second format. In one embodiment, the switching functions on the SONET formatted data contains performing time switching and space switching.

Methods and apparatuses for providing multiple services from any slot in a SONET system having multiple slots

Multiple streams of bits are received. One or more bits are selected from a stream of bits based, at least in part, on a space control register value and a time control register value. In one embodiment, a time control register stores a value indicating a selected bit from a sequence of bits, a counter counts bits in the sequence of bits from a predetermined bit, and a comparator is coupled to the time control register and to the counter to generate a load signal when a value stored in the time control register and a value provided by the counter are equal. The load signal causes the latch to load a value output by the multiplexer.
