Optical systems, and corresponding methods, for multiple reactions are provided. The optical systems are in a fixed position relative to a thermal assembly and include at least one array of excitation sources (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs)) configured to output excitation energy along an excitation optical path. In addition, a detector configured to receive emission energy along a detection optical path in the same plane as the excitation optical path is also provided.

Disclosed are gaming machines, including related methods, apparatus, and systems, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for providing a game of chance. Peripheral devices, such as a bill acceptor and ticket printer, are consolidated in a central region of the gaming machine, behind a moveable door of the machine. Doors of the machine, including a door having a display, are moveable in directions along a longitudinal axis of the machine between open and closed positions. An adjustable button panel is moveable to a plurality of positions along the longitudinal axis, independent of the moveable doors. An array of networked displays on one or more gaming machines are controlled to simultaneously output lighting patterns, including synchronized patterns, associated with various events. Designated lighting patterns can also be output on light borders disposed around groups of buttons and other input devices on the button panel. A player interface is coupled to receive player input for setting parameters defining the audio and video presentation of game data on the machine. Contributing to the audio presentation, one or more speakers situated in an upper region of the cabinet are oriented at a downward angle.

Disclosed herein is a microplate comprising a plurality of wells and methods and systems comprising such microplates, wherein an individual well comprises an opaque or non-transparent surface at or near the bottom of the well. The microplates herein can provide improved visualization of the process of filling a well with a liquid reagent. The microplates can be configured to perform chemical analysis, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or nucleic acid detection.

Disclosed are gaming machines, including related methods, apparatus, and systems, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for providing a game of chance. Peripheral devices are consolidated in a first region of the gaming machine, behind a first door of the machine. The peripheral devices include a printer having a ticket stack and a bill acceptor having a cashbox. The printer is configured to print and dispense tickets from the ticket stack. The bill acceptor is configured to receive cash and store the cash in the cashbox. The ticket stack and the bill acceptor each have an access portion situated in the first region for access when the first door is open. A second door is mounted to the cabinet in a second region of the cabinet. The second door encloses a processor coupled to output game data to a display and control play of the game of chance.

Hinges for orthopedic and rehabilitation braces allow intuitive, convenient and positive control and adjustment of the limits to which the braces may extend or flex. Such hinges also allow convenient locking of such braces. A flexion switch and an extension switch allow convenient repositioning of stops or limits which limit flexion and extension of the brace. Such switches may be repositioned, however, only with repositioning pressure for moving the switch to a new position combined with safety pressure for unlocking the switch. A brace locking switch may also be included. Such hinges promote more effective post-operative and rehabilitation results because they among other things allow users easily to change the flexion, extension and fixation limitations of their braces conveniently and in real time such as during post-operative and physical therapy sessions and workouts.
