Abstract: The invention relates to a rectifying column for extractive distillation, comprising a column main section (204) and a raffinate section (205) above said main section, an evaporator (208) situated on the lower end of the column, an inlet (214) disposed between the main section of the column and the raffinate section and a solvent inlet (215) arranged on the top side of the raffinate section (205) for feeding an extracting agent. According to the invention, the main section (204) has two chambers (216, 217) connected in parallel. A stripping section (222) is disposed between the bottom of the column (221) and the main section (204), in which concentration of the extracting agent occurs from the top down. The bottom (221) is connected to the solvent inflow (215) by a device (223) for recycling the extracting agent.

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 The reagent-transfer instrument is then withdrawn, along with a portion of such reagent, through the intervening region to a position above the transport pathway.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 intra-arterial occluder (10) according to the invention exhibits a central elongated portion (11) being comparatively stiff, i.e. by being thicker, and an outer rim portion (12) being more flexible. The occluder is passed through the puncture (3), and is oriented such that the axis of the central portion is generally coaxial with the vessel (2). When retracted, the central portion will rest against the vessel wall at two diametrically opposed areas (8) around the puncture, and along the length of the vessel. These areas represent the strongest areas around the puncture, and will therefore be able to safely carry the retracting force. At the same time, the thinner circumferential rim portion, which is easily foldable to fit into an insertion tool, adapts to the vessel wall and acts as an efficient sealing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus for sterilizing a sealed enclosure (1) comprising a fan (8) for circulating a gas through a preparation circuit (11) and through the enclosure. The preparation circuit includes an evaporation chamber (10) for dispensing a decontaminant gas and water vapour mixture into the circulating gas to flow therewith through the enclosure and to reach a concentration in the enclosure above the dew point for the ambient temperature in the enclosure and thereby to condense onto surfaces in the enclosure to sterilise such surfaces. A monitor (15) measures gas temperature and dew point/condensation are monitored (17,18) in the enclosure and the resulting signals led to a control module (19) for controlling the rate of dispensing of the decontaminant gas and water vapour into the gas in the preparation circuit in response to the levels determined by said monitoring to provide a required level of condensation of the decontaminant gas and water vapour in the enclosure.

Abstract: An operating apparatus and a signal-output modulating method therefor allow analogous operations to be implemented by use of press-operational operation elements that have conventionally been used for digital operations. In the operating apparatus, detecting elements are provided, each of which is formed of a resistant material and a conductive material. The detecting elements individually output analog signals corresponding to press-operations performed on the operation elements. An output-level range of an analog signal outputted from the detecting element is divided by a level divider into multiple levels, and an analog-digital (A-D) converter performs conversion thereof to digital signals corresponding to the output levels. In addition, the output levels of the individual digital signals outputted from the A-D converter are shifted by a level corrector 17 according to a predetermined corresponding reference, and the digital signals are thereby output.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for tracing hardware states using dynamically reconfigurable test circuits (35) provides improved debug and troubleshooting capability for functional logic implemented within field programmable logic arrays (FPGAs) (33). Special test logic configurations (49) may be loaded to enhance the debugging of a system using FPGAs (33). Registers are used to capture snapshots of internal signals (50, 51, 52) for access by a trace program and a test multiplexer is used to provide real-time output to test pins for use with external test equipment. By retrieving the hardware snapshot information with a trace program running on a system in which the FPGA is used, software and hardware debugging are coordinated, providing a sophisticated model of overall system behaviour. Special test circuits (49) are implemented within the test logic configurations to enable detection of various events and errors. Counters (48) are used to capture count values when system processor execution reaches a hardware trace point or when events occur. Comparators (45) are used to detect specific data or address values and event detectors (47) are used to detect particular logic value combinations that occur within the functional logic. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for preventing retrograde flow of fluid, e.g., blood products, into a source of sterile substitution fluid ( 50 ). The apparatus of the present invention includes a controllable pinch valve member ( 110 ) that is placed on a section of a conduit ( 90 ) which carries sterile substitution fluid to an extracorporeal circuit ( 30 ). In one embodiment, control over the valve member ( 110 ) is based on a control unit ( 120 ) using fluid pressures that are sensed upstream and downstream of the valve member ( 110 ) by upstream sensor ( 121 ) and downstream pressure ( 122 ) respectively. The valve member ( 110 ) is preferably opened only when the upstream pressure is greater than the downstream pressure. This assures that the substitution fluid flows only in a single direction when the pinch valve member ( 110 ) completely occludes the conduit ( 90 ) when in a closed position. Therefor, blood will not contaminate the sterile fluid by being drawn into the conduit ( 90 ) due to pressure differences.

Abstract: A method of controlling flows from plural hydrocarbon extraction wellhead trees (50, 52, 54, 56) in an extraction system including plural wellhead trees (50) connected by a pipeline network (60, 62, 88, 104) to a host facility (64) via a manifold system (130, 132) situated remotely from the host facility (64). Each wellhead tree (50) has a production outlet connected by a production conduit (88) to the manifold system (130, 132) and a test flow outlet (76) connected by a test conduit (104) to the manifold system (130, 132). Wellhead tree outlet valves are operable to divert the flow from one wellhead tree only to the manifold system (130, 132) from where it is routed via a test pipeline (62) to testing equipment at the host facility. Alternatively, one or more modules (132) of the manifold system (130, 132) may be replaced by one or more different modules each containing a multi-phase flow meter so that testing can take place at the manifold system. The method obviates the requirement for remotely operable valves to be installed in the manifold system for flow testing purposes.
