Patent AT-E225516-T1 (AT)
Inventor: KOWALLIS REID B

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dispensing small volumes of selected substances, such as biological reagents or samples, onto substrates. According to one general embodiment, a plurality of spaced, tandemly-arranged substrates are advanced, e.g., by way of a conveyor, along a transport pathway extending over a reagent-supply location, such as a reservoir supported at a fixed position in a base. From a position over the reagent-supply location and the pathway, a reagent-transfer instrument, or tip, is extended along an axis through an intervening region, e.g., an opening defined by a surface of the conveyor, separating an adjacent pair of advancing substrates to contact reagent held at the reagent-supply location. The reagent-transfer instrument is then withdrawn, along with a portion of such reagent, through the intervening region to a position above the transport pathway. Once the conveyor has advanced a selected substrate, upstream of the intervening region, to a position aligned with the axis of the reagent-transfer instrument, a selected amount of reagent is transferred from the instrument onto a selected site of the substrate. Advantageously, the apparatus and method are readily adaptable for the production of micro-arrays having a great number of closely spaced spots.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coated dental screw for retaining and securing components of a dental prosthetic implant stack. The screw is coated with a hard carbon coating/film to provide a low friction surface finish which advantageously results in improved preloading of the screw, and hence a high clamping force between the components of the dental prosthetic implant stack. The coating can comprise diamond-like carbon (DLC), amorphous diamond, crystalline diamond, or a combination thereof. The dental screw can include abutment retaining screws and prosthesis retaining screws. Other advantages provided by the hard carbon coating include high mechanical surface hardness, biocompatibilty, corrosion resistance, chemical inertness and low cost.

Abstract: The high rack rolling storage device comprises at least one storage area (L1 - L3) along which a rack lift vehicle (RF1, RF2) is arranged such that it can be displaced in a transport aisle (G1, G2). Said rack lift vehicle serves to vertically transport the rollers (P) to the rack levels in which storage channels (K, K1, K2) consisting of a bearing profile (1) are arranged parallel to one another. The rollers (P) are supported on the lateral walls of the bearing profiles (1) of these storage channels. A lifting and transporting carriage (2) travels inside said bearing profiles and under the rollers (P) which it sets down or picks up at the respective storage area and brings from or to the transport aisle (G1, G2). The lifting and transporting carriage (2) is connected to the corresponding rack lift vehicle (RF1, RF2) in a control-like and supply-like manner and, at the front of one of the bearing channels (K, K1, K2), receives the lifting and transporting carriage (2) in a receiving space (AF) or sends it out loaded with a roller (P). The lifting and transporting carriage (2) is moved by the rack lift vehicle (RF1, RF2) to a supply ramp (RE) via a storage channel (K1) and to an issuing ramp (RA1, RA2) via an unloading channel (K2).

Abstract: In a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, in which fuel can be injected at at least two differently high fuel pressures via injectors into the combustion chamber of the engine, having a central distributor device for distributing the fuel to the individual injectors and having a central pressure reservoir for the lower fuel pressure, one valve unit for switchover between the two fuel pressures is provided locally for each injector individually. Furthermore, the central distributor device for the higher fuel pressure is disposed parallel to the central pressure reservoir for the lower fuel pressure. To enlarge the injection window for the pre-injection and the post-injection, the lower fuel pressure is metered from the central pressure reservoir, without going by way of the distributor device.

Abstract: It is advantageously taken profit of the fact that before any supply of remote power to a telecommunications terminal connected to a local area network, the Ethernet equipment must recognize the power class of said terminal by measuring a specific electrical signature of said terminal via their interconnection. In the case said Ethernet equipment will stand in a situation unable to supply the required power, then it will send a specific signal via said interconnection which will activate an alarm on said terminal. The possibility to be alerted by a specific alarm from said terminal in the case no remote power can be supplied to it, will advantageously inform the user of that terminal about the powering situation. This will prevent any confusion about the reason of a wrong running of that terminal and may allow to look for an alternative. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of forming sheets of superplastically formable material into a three dimensional article, the sheets being joined together along diffusion bonds to form discrete cells, at least one gas path being provided through the bond between cells. The sheets are heated to a temperature at which they exhibit superplastic properties and a gas injected between the sheets to expand the cells, the gas paths allowing the injected gas to pass from cell to cell. The edges of the gas paths are locally heated to change the microstructure of the sheets in the edge areas, which reduces the flow resistance of the edges under superplastic forming conditions and thereby reduces the propensity of the diffusion bonds bordering the gas transfer holes to peel apart under the forces of the inert gas exerted on the sheets at the gas transfer paths.

Abstract: The corrosion of a component in a water-guiding loop of a nuclear facility is reduced. A protective layer is produced with a sol-gel process. Prior to the sol application, water that wettens the component is removed from the conduction system and the component is optionally dried in a separate step. After the sol-gel process has been carried out, the conduction system is again filled with water. A liquid sol film that is produced on the component is dried, especially by means of hot air. A component in the primary system of a boiling water reactor can especially be coated with a highly corrosion-resistant zirconium oxide protective layer according to the sol-gel process.
