A nanopore based sequencing system includes a plurality of nanopore sensors. Each nanopore sensor has a portion for receiving a fluid. The nanopore based sequencing system includes a fluid chamber configured to guide the fluid over the plurality of nanopore sensors and an inlet configured to deliver the fluid into the fluid chamber. At least a portion of the fluid chamber is made of a material that has been molded around at least a portion of an electrode.

Molded flow channel

This disclosure provides a biochip comprising a plurality of wells. The biochip includes a membrane that is disposed in or adjacent to an individual well of the plurality of wells. The membrane comprises a nanopore, and the individual well comprises an electrode that detects a signal upon ionic flow through the pore in response to a species passing through or adjacent to the nanopore. The electrode can be a non-sacrificial electrode. A lipid bilayer can be formed over the plurality of wells using a bubble.

Methods for forming lipid bilayers on biochips

A biochip for molecular detection and sensing is disclosed. The biochip includes a substrate. The biochip includes a plurality of discrete sites formed on the substrate having a density of greater than five hundred wells per square millimeter. Each discrete site includes sidewalls disposed on the substrate to form a well. Each discrete site includes an electrode disposed at the bottom of the well. In some embodiments, the wells are formed such that cross-talk between the wells is reduced. In some embodiments, the electrodes disposed at the bottom of the wells are organized into groups of electrodes, wherein each group of electrodes shares a common counter electrode. In some embodiments, the electrode disposed at the bottom of the well has a dedicated counter electrode. In some embodiments, surfaces of the sidewalls are silanized such that the surfaces facilitate the forming of a membrane in or adjacent to the well.

Process for biosensor well formation

A multimedia system for vehicle having a plurality of electrical accessories, including a control housing, a control module, and a dash pad. The control module includes a central processing module. The central processing module is electrically connected with the electrical accessories in such a manner that the central processing module is arranged to centrally control the electrical accessories. The dash pad is detachably mounted on the control housing and is wirelessly communicated with the central processing module, wherein a user is able wirelessly control the electrical accessories in the vehicle through the dash pad.

Multimedia system for vehicle with portable dash pad

A vehicle seat head rest for mounting to a vehicle seat of a vehicle includes a head pillow and an electronic appliance including a screen module detachably mounted at the head pillow. The head pillow includes a pillow body having a receiving cavity formed at the rear side of the pillow body, a mounting arrangement for mounting to the vehicle seat, and a replaceable skin detachably encasing the pillow body at a position that a peripheral edge of the replaceable skin is folded at the rear side of the pillow body. The screen module is detachably mounted within the receiving cavity and is supported by an interior wall thereof. Thus, the peripheral edge of the replaceable skin is hidden after the screen module is detachably mounted at the rear side of the head pillow.

Vehicle seat head rest with built-in electronic appliance

A car seat head rest, which is adapted for mounting on a car seat having two spaced apart retention slots, includes a head pillow, a display screen supported at the rear side of the head pillow, and an adjustable mounting arrangement including a length-adjustable sliding guider longitudinally supported within the interior cavity of the head pillow, a supporting frame having two overlapped sliding panels and two supporting arms downwardly and parallelly extended from the sliding panels respectively through the bottom side of the head pillow to define an engaging distance between the two supporting arms, and an adjuster provided at the sliding guider to control a length of the sliding guider so as to selectively adjust the engaging distance of the supporting arms for slidably engaging with the two retention slots respectively so as to securely support the head pillow on the car seat.

Car seat head rest with built-in screen

A vehicle multimedia system includes a head pillow, a display screen supported at the rear side of the head pillow, a central control, which is adapted for being installed at a predetermined location of the vehicle, electrically linked to the display screen via a connection cable running through one of the supporting arms such that the connection cable is extended between the display screen and the central control in a hidden manner, wherein the central control selectively generates a signal and transmits the signal to the display screen through the connection cable, so as to display on the display screen. Thus, the central control provides both the synchronizing mode and the discrete mode such that more than one function is selectively operated by the central control through the different display screen to meet the needs of passengers.

Vehicle multimedia system for vehicle

An adjustable car seat head rest adapted for mounting on a car seat having two spaced apart retention slots, a head pillow having an interior cavity for a supporting frame wherein a display screen is supported thereon, and an adjustable mounting arrangement which allows the head pillow to be mounted onto the car seat. The mounting arrangement further has a length-adjustable sliding guider, two supporting arms downwardly and parallelly extended from the sliding guider to define an engaging distance between them, and an adjuster provided at the sliding guider to selectively adjust the engaging distance of the supporting arms such that the two supporting arms are adapted for engaging with the two retention slots respectively so as to securely support the head pillow on the car seat.
