US Classification:

713 2, 713 1, 718104

Abstract:

A method and mechanism for managing operating system instances in a computing system. A computing system is configured to enable users to model and manage operating system instances. One or more defined operating system instances may be created and stored for future use. Each of the defined operating system instances may include a description of required resources. In addition, the definition of desired and/or optimal resources may be specified. In response to an attempt to realize an operating system instance, a determination is made as to whether resources allocated for the operating system instance are adequate. If the allocated resources are inadequate, further resources may be allocated. In addition, a determination may be made as to whether a standby mode is indicated for the operating system instance. If a standby mode is indicated, the operating system instance may be realized but not booted.

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus, and methods for conducting amplification-based analyses, including PCR testing. In one illustrative embodiment, a system may include a testing container assembly and a testing unit. The testing container assembly may include a sample collection port, a sample preparation chamber, and a reaction chamber. The sample collection port may include a bottom opening sealed by a plug member. In use, the testing container assembly may be placed in a seat of the testing unit with a sample in the sample collection port, closed by a lid. A plunger may dislodge the plug member and the sample drawn into the sample preparation chamber. Once sample preparation is complete, a channel may be opened, and the prepared sample flows into the reaction chamber which is then sealed. Testing including amplification reactions, may then be performed, followed by detection, as by detecting fluorescent emissions in the reaction chamber.
