Methods for an instrument including a light source of are provided. A method for an instrument including a light source includes providing light from the light source to a target location in a process chamber. The method includes receiving the light at a sensor. The method includes determining, using data from the sensor, a first position of the light at the target location. Moreover, the method includes determining whether to adjust the light to a second position at the target location. Related instruments are also provided.

Methods for aligning a light source of an instrument, and related instruments

Slide analysis a gripper with three sensors for controlling a slide grip sequence and at least one rotatable carousel with a slide receiving channel. The systems also include a robot with a robot arm that holds a slide gripper residing inside the housing in communication with the rotatable carousel. The systems also include a load lock chamber and a door sealably coupled to the second end portion and an acquisition vacuum chamber with an X-Y stage and a slide holder with a vacuum seal.

Sample handling systems, mass spectrometers and related methods

Load lock assemblies for a sample analysis system, such as a mass spectrometry system, include a load lock chamber having longitudinally opposing first and second end portions and a through channel, a door coupled to the second end portion, and a seal assembly coupled to the first end portion. The seal assembly includes a rigid seal housing member coupled to a housing of the load lock chamber. The rigid seal housing member includes a port forming part of the first end portion of the through channel of the load lock chamber. The rigid seal housing member can include a self-centering cartridge and/or a flexure member coupled to the housing of the load lock chamber. Where used, the flexure member has an outer perimeter that extends above and below the rigid seal housing member and includes an aperture that is aligned with the port of the rigid seal housing member.

A portable cooking system is provided and includes a guide member and a cooking device supported by the guide member, wherein the cooking device engages and is movable along the guide member between a first cooking device position, in which the cooking device is at least partially positioned within a vehicle, and a second cooking device position, in which the cooking device is spaced-apart from and external of the vehicle. The cooking device may be a grill. The guide member may be at least partially supported by the vehicle when the guide member is in both the first guide member position and the second guide member position. Alternatively, the guide member may be supported by the vehicle when the guide member is in the first guide member position and may not be supported by the vehicle when the guide member is in the second guide member position.

A badge holder for holding a badge includes a front piece and a back piece opposite the front piece. The back piece is coupled to the front piece to provide a holding slot for the badge. A first ejector has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is rotatably coupled to at least one of the front piece and the back piece. The first ejector is configured to rotate such that the distal end forces at least a portion of the badge out of the holding slot.

Badge holder with ejector

The invention envisions a multi-purpose expandable-collapsible frame apparatus that may be used as a bed frame. The apparatus utilizes a telescoping central support apparatus designed such that when a force is applied to the central support apparatus a plurality of floating arm assemblies expand outwardly from the central support apparatus. Furthermore, support straps and a covering member add stability and utility to the frame apparatus.
