Title: Method and system for tunnel ventilation in normal conditions and in conditions of fire
Inventor: PAVETIC JOSIP
IPC: E21F1/08
Filed: 2010-07-27
Abstract: Tunnel ventilation system providing a horizontal partition (1) divided into three separate ventilation ducts (4) and (5) with fire-resistant flaps which in an emergency hermetically close the ventilation ducts. Their position is controlled in dependence on measured parameters in the tunnel and whether or not there is fire in the tunnel and, if there is, the position of fire. Fans (3, 3a) are operated in dependence on conditions prevailing in the tunnel. An air screen (6a) prevents the influx of air in excess of the designed quantity from the environment into the tunnel. The system incorporates a tube -shaped tank ( 9 ) positioned longitudinally under the carriageway that contains air with reduced oxygen content in quantity sufficient for fire fighting. In the event of fire, air with reduced oxygen content is brought into the space of the tunnel's fire section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening element, which can be designed as a blind rivet or a screw and is intended to be driven into a non-perforated workpiece. In the front region intended to be driven into the workpiece, said element contains a punching section (9) which is cylindrical and has a front end face (5) that runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis. The punching section (9) can have a smaller diameter than the body (1) of the fastening element or can have the same diameter. The intersection of the end face (5) with the outside of the punching section (9) forms a punching edge. Owing to the oblique course of the end face, said punching edge is arranged in such a manner that the punching edge first strikes the sheet metal at one point or also two points when the fastening element is driven in, and the opening in the sheet metal is enlarged at a point extending around the circumference by shearing off of the sheet metal.

Title: Device for high throughput investigations of cellular interactions
Inventor: KAMM ROGER DALE
IPC: C12N5/00
Filed: 2011-09-29
Abstract: Provided herein are microfluidic devices that can be used as a 3D bioassay, e.g., for drug screening, personalized medicine, tissue engineering, wound healing, and other applications. The device has a series of channels {e.g., small fluid channels) in a small polymer block wherein one or more of the channels can be filled with a biologically relevant gel, such as collagen, which is held in place by posts. As shown herein, when the device is plated with cells such as endothelial cells, new blood vessels grow in the gel, which is thick enough for the cells to grow in three dimensions. Other channels, e.g., fluid channels, allow drugs or biological material to be exposed to the 3D cell growth. Cells, such as endothelial cells, can be cultured and observed as they grow on the surface of a 3D gel scaffold, where e.g., rates of angiogenesis can be measured, as well as intervascularization and extravascularization of cancerous cells.

Abstract: Analysis system (10, PROSAD) for the quantitative chemical analysis of samples (A, A-1, A- 2,....), preferably but not solely in the medical field, comprising detection instrumentation or equipment (30) designed to detect the quantity of the target analytes ( [x], [y], [z] ) present in the various samples (A, A1) to be analysed, which in turn comprises a chromatography system (31), an ion source (32) and a mass spectrometer (33); a data processing system (40, 42, 43, 44) designed to process the quantitative data of the target analytes present in the samples analysed, as detected by the detection equipment (30); and an innovative database (41) containing corrective and control data and coefficients (K, C, K1) to be used to calibrate and correct the instrumental response of the specific detection equipment (30) used to analyse the samples, wherein said corrective and control data and coefficients are determined and acquired by the database at a preliminary stage (51, 52) before the actual analysis of the samples, wherein the sample to be analysed is prepared with a universal dilution solution in order to minimise the corresponding matrix effect, and wherein the data processing system determines the quantitative data of the target analytes present in the samples analysed by processing the quantitative data (Q) detected by the detection equipment, namely the mass spectrometer, taking account of the corrective and control data and coefficients contained in the database. By comparison with the analysis systems currently in use, the system for quantitative analysis of samples according to the invention presents the significant advantage of not requiring, in order to calibrate the detection equipment during the analysis of multiple samples, continuous and expensive use, for each analysis, of commercial standards of the target analytes to be quantitated.
