An assay cartridge has a base member (26) that defines at least two wells (30, 32, 34, 36, 38), a pipette (108, 110) positionable in at least one of the wells and a cap member (86) arranged to carry the pipette. The cap member can be releasably fastened to the base member. An extension member (28) defines at least one further well (40, 42, 44) and can be fastened to the base member such that the pipette is then positionable in at least one of the wells of the base and in the further well of the extension member.

The present invention relates to a control method in a system comprising a server unit having computer means, communication means and a first data base, said first data base including positioning data and a plurality of work orders, wherein said work orders are related to said positioning data; and a sawing machine having computer means and communication means, and being arranged for sawing trenches in an area; said method comprising the steps of: transmitting, by said server unit, a first data flow A comprising a first work order to said sawing machine; and controlling said sawing machine by means of said first work order. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a system thereof.

A polarizing film cutting knife includes a body portion extending in a first direction, and a knife portion connected to the body portion. The knife portion includes a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces form a first angle. The first angle is about 21.8 to 22.2 degrees.

Embodiments of the present invention provide Dermal Micro-organs (DMOs), methods and apparatuses for harvesting the same. Some embodiments of the invention provide a DMO including a plurality of dermal components, which substantially retain the micro-architecture and three dimensional structure of the dermal tissue from which they are derived. An apparatus for harvesting the DMO may include, according to some exemplary embodiments, a support configuration to support a skin-related tissue structure from which the DMO is to be harvested, and a cutting tool able to separate the DMO from the skin-related tissue structure. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a genetically modified dermal micro-organ expressing at least one recombinant gene product. Some embodiments of the invention provide methods and apparatuses for implanting a genetically modified DMO.

A stamping tool formed from a steel strip and method of forming the stamping tool. The stamping tool is formed from a steel strip shaped on a narrow side with a cutting part having a cutting edge. The stamping tool includes a back part with a contour in cross section on a narrow side of the steel strip, recesses shaped in the back part with free spreading of the material to be transverse to a longitudinal extension of the steel strip and perpendicular to lateral surfaces of the steel strip, such that an extent of the spreading is smaller than a thickness of the steel strip, and undeformed regions located between the recesses.

A method for placing at least one duct/communication cable below a road surface in an area. The area comprises a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being a road layer, such as asphalt or concrete, and the second layer being a bearing layer for the first layer and being located below the first layer. The method comprising the steps of cutting a micro trench in the area through the first layer into the second layer, placing at least one duct/communication cable in the micro trench so that that duct/communication cable is placed below the first layer, and filling the micro trench so as to restore the road surface.
