A system, method and device for the detection of reactions between analytes, (e.g., DNA, biomolecules, or cells) and a second compound are disclosed. The present invention includes a coating of a fluorescent material having a fluorescence that changes with temperature. The fluorescent material is associated with a substrate, and can be used for any type of surface reaction that requires determination of temperature conditions at an interface between the surface and the reaction analyte subject to assay.

An infrared light detector has a first substrate having a sensor chip thereon that has an exposure surface that can be irradiated with infrared light, the sensor chip converting the incident infrared light into an electrical signal. The infrared light detector also has a second substrate having a window therein that is located adjacent to the exposure surface of the sensor chip, the window masking infrared light of a predetermined wavelength. The size (dimensions) of the window and the distance of the window with respect to the exposure surface are dimensioned to cause infrared light passing through the window to completely strike the exposure area of the sensor chip.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to heater patterns and related methods of producing hydrocarbon fluids from a subsurface hydrocarbon-containing formation (for example, an oil shale formation) where a heater cell may be divided into nested inner and outer zones. Production wells may be located within one or both zones. In the smaller inner zone, heaters may be arranged at a relatively high spatial density while in the larger surrounding outer zone, a heater spatial density may be significantly lower. Due to the higher heater density, a rate of temperature increase in the smaller inner zone of the subsurface exceeds that of the larger outer zone, and a rate of hydrocarbon fluid production ramps up faster in the inner zone than in the outer zone. In some embodiments, a ratio between a half-maximum sustained production time and a half-maximum rise time of a hydrocarbon fluid production function is relatively large.

Minute particles in a gas generated in a particle generating unit are charged by a charging unit. A concentrating unit concentrates charged particles in an introduced gas, and a collecting unit absorbs and collects the concentrated charged particles on a sample plate by an electrostatic force. In the concentrating unit, the charged particles are concentrated by decreasing a flow rate of a gas (carrier gas) in which particles are dispersed while maintaining the number of introduced charged particles. When the flow rate of the gas decreases, and spatial density of the particles increases, it is possible to efficiently collect charged particles on the small sample plate in the collecting unit, and to shorten a collection time.
