Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring and controlling electronic devices using wired and wireless protocols are disclosed. The systems and apparatus may monitor their environment for signals from electronic devices. The systems and apparatus may take and disambiguate the signals that are received from the devices in their environment to identify the devices and associate control signals with the devices. The systems and apparatus may use communication means to send control signals to the identified electronic devices. Multiple apparatuses or systems may be connected together into networks, including mesh networks, to make for a more robust architecture.

Disclosed are a leukocyte classification reagent and kit, a classification method, an erythrocyte classification reagent and kit, and an analysis method. Both the leukocyte classification reagent and the erythrocyte classification reagent comprise a fluorescent dye represented by the general formula F. The dye can stain the nucleic acids of leukocytes and erythrocytes, therefore, during blood analysis, the classification and/or counting of leukocytes in a sample can be accurately realized, and the classification and/or counting of erythrocytes in a sample can be accurately realized, in particular the identification and/or counting of RETs. In addition, the types of dyes used in blood cell analysis may also be simplified.
