Title: Flow cell for urinalysis diagnostic system and method of making same
Inventor: KEISER DALE A
IPC: G01N15/10
Filed: 2003-11-17
Granted: 2009-10-06
Abstract: A flow cell for examining specimen fluid flowing within sheath fluid. A housing (6) defines a hollow fluid passage (4) that includes a geometric focusing (4b) portion in which the fluid passage (4) narrows in height and an examination area (4c). A cannula (2) injects specimen fluid into the fluid passage (4) as a stream of the specimen fluid with an initial velocity. The sheath fluid flows through the fluid passage (4), having a first velocity as it passes the point the specimen fluid is injected. The initial velocity is less than the first velocity, which focuses down the height of the specimen fluid stream via linear flow rate focusing. The narrowing geometric focusing portion (4b) of the fluid passage (4) also focuses down the height of the specimen fluid stream via geometric focusing (4b). A microscope (22) and camera (24) capture images of the focussed down specimen fluid stream passing through the examination area (4b).

Abstract: A transparent article includes a continuous polyester matrix having at least one incompatible filler dispersed therein. The incompatible filler provides domains in the polyester matrix, each domain having a particular dimension, thus providing a range of dimensions for the domains in the article. To create haze, the dimensions are within the range of from about 380 nm to about 720 nm. Once the range of dimensions is determined, a light absorbent composition can be found which absorbs light at a range of wavelengths that at least substantially covers the range of dimensions of the domains. In doing so, it has been found that the haze of the article can be substantially masked.  Method for producing the article and for masking the haze are also provided.

Granted: 2011-09-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a netpen for breeding, storage, or transport of fish in the sea, in particular completely or in part in open sea regions outside the skerries, wherein the netpen may be lowered in the sea to a desired depth when needed, wherein the netpen may be elevated to a half or approximately half submerged state for various work operations, such as maintenance and inspection of the netpen or harvesting, and wherein netpen has a substantially spherical geometry. The invention is characterized in that the netpen consists of a framework of stays (1, 2, 3, 4) mainly comprising polyethylene or polyethylene-like materials, such as PolyEthylene Low Density (PELD) or PolyEthylene High Density (PEHD), preferably PEHD, a horizontal through center pole (5) also serving as a buoyancy adjusting element for elevation and lowering of the netpen, a horseshoe-shaped working platform (6) having an integrated dock (7) for working vessels, the entire working platform including dock being liftable and lowerable through buoyancy adjustment by means of a designated element (13), and the working deck being mounted on an extended axle (15) on the center pole in such a manner that the netpen may be rotated inside said working deck. On said axle, through lines (8), there are also attached buoys (10) that gives the netpen sufficient reserve buoyancy in normal position as well as weighting organs (9) that, when the netpen is to be stabilized fully submerged at a desired depth, is landed on the sea floor; alternatively, the netpen is stabilized at the desired depth due to the reserve buoyancy in the floatation unit (30) and the floatation element (23), as shown in fig. 30. Life-supporting functions, such as fodder, energy, and air, are being supplied to the netpen through a lifeline from a nearby floatation unit (30), preferably a platform being an integrated part of the anchoring for the netpen.

Granted: 2008-02-19
Abstract: A geothermal aqueduct network has a heat pump inside each individual dwellings plus a circulation pump to provide circulation between the house and the aqueduct by way of an exit pipe (besides the existing water entry pipe) that returns the water to the aqueduct network. Having constant water circulation further insures against potential freezing up of the water in the aqueduct. This constant circulation can be achieved in various ways such as use of water by residents using water, by internal leakage that, in practice, is always present in aqueduct system or, by an overpressure release valve which empties water into the storm sewer system or back into the water reserve cistem of the aqueduct system.

Abstract: The invention is related to a system for removal of moisture and contaminants from recirculated flue gas which is used for combustion in fossil fuel power plants The system includes a spray tower having an inlet at one end of the housing and an outlet at an opposite end of the housing for channeling the flue gas into and out of the housing. Sprayers are located in the housing for spraying the flue gas with a liquid reagent to remove contaminants, including SO2, from the flue gas. A heat exchanger is integrally connected to the housing. The heat exchanger cools the liquid reagent before the reagent is sprayed onto the flue gas stream. The sprayers quench the flue gas stream with the cooled liquid reagent. The cooling of the liquid reagent to a temperature below the flue gas water vapor dew point improves the condensation of the water vapor in the flue gas during the spraying process. The flue gas exits the system with a lower moisture content and is redirected to burner for combustion. As a result, the efficiency the combustion process will improve with less moisture in the flue gas.
