</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font>Mercury is a computer management and
information system designed specifically to operate the <br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font>Berkeley Marvell NanoLab
and to use laboratory resources efficiently. The components of Mercury are a <br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font>relational database management system (Ingres), daemons (background processes),
and clients, in a dual, <br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font>three tier application. This report describes the
system design, database details, implementation technologies, <br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font>and it gives some
detailed examples. The Mercury system has been in real-time operation since</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font>December
2009 in the UC Berkeley NanoLab, with 99.9% uptime.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Katalin Voros</p><p class="MsoNormal">
