Title: Device and method for separating components of a fluid sample
Inventor: NIERMANN VOLKER
IPC: B04B5/02
Filed: 2000-11-24
Abstract: A specimen collection and separation assembly is provided. The
assembly includes a tube having closure. The closure includes a section
that is pierceable by a needle. A separator is disposed in the tube
below the closure. Portions of the separator adjacent the top define a
resiliently deformable low density sealing plug dimensioned to sealingly
engage the interior of the tube. A high density ring is integrally
engaged with the seal and extends to the bottom of the separator. The
relative densities and dimensions of the seal and the ring are selected
to achieve an overall density between densities of the phases of liquid
to be separated. The ring causes the seal to elongate in response to
forces imposed by a centrifuge. The separator then will move to a
position in the tube between the respective phases of the specimen being
separated. Termination of the centrifugal load causes the seal to return
to its initial shape and for isolating the separated phases of the
speciment.

Abstract: An imaging parameter recording apparatus, an imaging
apparatus and an editing system are disclosed. The setting states of various parts of
an imaging system (1) at the time of imaging are detected by a
system controller (9) and routed as imaging parameters to a
recording/reproducing system (2). These imaging parameters are
recorded along with the imaging data on a video tape (17,34e-d). This
enables not only the picture corresponding to the imaging data
but also the imaging parameters at the imaging time to be
reproduced at the reproducing time, so that not only the past
setting state can be recognized, but also the past setting state
can be newly set so that the picture of the same picture pattern
can be imaged or recorded using the editing system.

Abstract: An apparatus for a wafer processing system
comprising a wafer support chuck (100) attached to a
gas delivery system (141) for delivery of a gas to the
backside of a wafer supported by the chuck. The gas
delivery system has a gas shutoff valve (140) directly
connected to the wafer chuck. The shutoff valve
provides a positive shutoff with negligible leak rate.
By placing the valve in close proximity to the wafer
chuck, the volume of the backside gas trapped between
the valve and the wafer is minimized. Release of this
trapped gas into the process chamber during wafer
transfer has no adverse impact on the performance of
the processing system.

Abstract: A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) cell comprising a deep trench
storage capacitor having an active transistor device partially disposed on a side wall of the
trench. The side wall is aligned to a first crystallographic plane having a crystallographic
orientation along a single crystal axis. A process for manufacturing such a DRAM cell
comprises: (a) forming a deep trench in a substrate, (b) forming a faceted crystal region
along the trench side wall having a single crystallographic orientation, and (c) forming a
transistor device partially disposed on the faceted crystal region in the side wall. The
faceted crystal region may be formed by growing an oxide collar, such as by local thermal
oxidation under oxidation conditions selected to promote a higher oxidation rate along a
first family of crystallographic axes than along a second family of crystallographic axes.

Abstract: Chilled coolant is prepared by liquid coolant utilizing
the latent heat generated by a gasification of liquefied
propylene, for example, and this chilled coolant is used in
heat exchangers which are used in a process for production
of acrylic acid or acrolein. This method allows effective
utilization of the latent heat which used to be discarded
and permits a reduction of energy consumption of cooling
required separately in the step for production. By recovering
the chilled coolant with the liquid coolant, it makes possible
to stabilize the gasification of propylene, etc. and
consequently stabilize the production of acrylic acid. This
invention consists of providing the method for the production
of acrylic acid, etc. and the apparatus which make effective
use of the latent heat generated in the steps of production.

Abstract: The rolling shed loom has a rotor (4) rotating round an axis (D), with a number of weft channels (7a-7d) each with an entry opening (2a-2d) at the end side (4b) of the rotor. The channels (7a-7d) are equidistant round the rotor circumference along the line. A fixed weft feed delivers the wefts (10a-10d), with a guide (18a-18d) for each weft, with the guide outlets (23a-23d) ali at the entry openings at the end side of the rotor. The rotor (4) is rotated so that each channel entry opening (2a-2d) is temporarily halted in alignment with the outlet openings (23a-23d) of the weft feed guides (18a,18d). The weft feed has a retraction unit to withdraw a cut weft (10a-10d) at least from the rotor (4). A feed jet (13a-13d) is a the weft entry side of the rotor (4) for each channel (2) which, at the same time, form the entry openings (2a-2d). A yarn guide sec is between the weft feed and the rotor (4), fitted to the end side (4b) of the rotor (4). The guide has a number of grooves to c the wefts, each at an entry opening (2a-2d) where pref. each groove is deployed with three equidistant entry openings (2a-2d). T other guide section is fixed opposite the end side (4b) of the rotor (4), with a slitted guide channel, where the slit is aligne the end side (4b) of the rotor (4). An Independent claim is included for the insertion of wefts into a rolling shed loom, where wefts (10a-10d) move at the feed along the axis line of the rotor (4) to an end side (4b) of it. The wefts are inserted into the rotor channels (2) at time intervals as they are aligned with the weft transfer path for them to be inserted into the channels f the feed, in succession with the rotor rotation. Preferred Features: During a full weft insertion, they are advanced to the end (4b) of the rotor (4) in its direction of rotation (5). On a successful insertion, the leading ends of the wefts are cut to form new weft point. The wefts are retracted by the feed so that the weft point is within the feed or near the feed outlet openings (23a-23d). After insertion and cutting, the wefts are passed in a loop into the weft insertion stretch (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a connection from an initiating subscriber to a designated subscriber in a telecommunications network without providing the respective initiating subscriber with the permanent identifier of the designated subscriber. The invention provides that an anonymous identifier is assigned by a confidence instance (S, C) to the permanent identifier of the designated subscriber (B). In order to establish the connection via the initiating subscriber while using the anonymous identifier of the active home exchange (V), the utilized identifier is indicated as an anonymous identifier and is routed to the confidence instance (S, C). The confidence instance (S, C) determines the assigned permanent identifier from the routed anonymous identifier and transmits it to the home exchange (V). The home exchange (V) proceeds to establish the connection to the designated subscriber (B) while using the transmitted permanent identifier. An embodiment of the method also serves to transmit an anonymous identifier for a future return call to a called subscriber.

detection elements, under conditions permitting processing of the intensities
detected by the array of detection elements during the exposure in such a manner
that representation of electromagnetic signals from the biological particles are
identified as distinct from representations of electromagnetic signals from
background signals. The size of the volume of the liquid sample is sufficiently large
