Abstract: A beverage server includes a body having an internal reservoir to hold a beverage such as hot coffee. In one embodiment, a lid is pivotally connected to the top of the body. The lid has a generally conical passage provided through it which permits a beverage to enter the beverage server and pass into the reservoir without requiring removal of the lid. A floatable ball is located within the passage to seal it when no liquid is entering the beverage server. A pouring spout extends from the body near its top and is in fluid communication with the reservoir when the beverage server is tilted and the lid pivots. A counter-weight in the lid assists in bringing the lid into sealing engagement with the body to isolate the pouring spout and the reservoir when the beverage server is upright. The counter-weight also assists in smooth motion of the lid as it pivots through its entire range of movement when the beverage server is tilted.

Abstract: A hybrid structural material (10) combines high thermal conductivity and predetermined mechanical properties compatible with adjacent materials. It has three elements: (1) a non-structural, high thermal conductivity core material (20) which defines the thermal conductivity of the hybrid structural material; (2) a pair of face sheets (30, 40), which form opposing surfaces of the hy-brid structural material and help to define its mechanical properties, disposed on opposite sides of the core material to create a face sheet-core material-face sheet sandwich construction; and (3) a frame (50) substantially surrounding the core material and bonded to the face sheets for helping to define (along with the face sheets) the mechanical properties of the hybrid structural ma-terial. The interfaces (70, 80) between the face sheets and the core material allow physical contact, but prevent structural interac-tion, between the face sheets and the core material. Consequently, the hybrid structural material achieves a high fraction of the thermal conductivity of the core material while maintaining the thermal expansion (and other mechanical properties) of the face sheets and frame.

Title: Automated histo-cytochemistry apparatus and encapsulation system for processing biological materials
Inventor: FARMILO A JAMES
IPC: G01N1/36
Filed: 1994-02-03
Granted: 2005-01-04
Abstract: There is disclosed an automated apparatus and process for immunocytochemical staining of biological materials using ligand pairing. The apparatus includes an array of sample cells interconnected with reagent supply and drainage lines. Each cell encloses a fluid chamber into which a sample substrate is inserted. The face of the substrate onto which a biological sample is mounted faces into a fluid well. The cell includes a cell head having a chamber to receive therein a solid support matrix releasably containing a ligand to be contacted with the sample. The chamber in the cell head is in flow communication with the fluid well so that when the ligand is released from the matrix it flows into the fluid well thereby contacting the mounted biological sample.  The ligand support matrix may be gelatin or wax. The cell body and cell head are differentially heated or cooled so that the mounted sample may be held at the preferred temperature for the reaction of interest and the cell head may be heated to a temperature sufficient to cause thermal degradation of the matrix to effect release of the ligand. Control electronics is provided for sensing and controlling the temperature of the various cell parts and for progammable control of reagent supply to the cells.

Abstract: A staple remover (10) for removing stapled sheets (26) and material. The staple remover (10) has a handle and a set of interchangeable blades (18) which can be releasably fixed to the front end (14) of the handle. The blades (18) extend through an aperture provided in the handle. The blades (18) have a frontwardly tapering configuration. The blades (18) are adapted to be slid between the stapled sheets (26) and the crown section (30) of the staple (28). Slidable insertion of the blade (18) causes the staple (28) to unclench. The staple remover (10) also has a claw member (116) slidably fixed to the substantially hollow handle (12). The claw member (16) is adapted to pull the staples (28) unclenched by the blade (18) from the blade (18) into the hollow handle (12). The hollow handle (12) communicates with a used staple storage compartment (22). The used staple storage compartment (22) is snappingly fixed to the handle (12) and can be easily removed from the latter. The structure of the staple remover (10) allows for the quick and easy fixing of interchangeable blades (18) of different sizes to the handle (12).

Granted: 1999-03-23
Abstract: A tank interceptor for rain water and waste-water includes a container divided by a partition into an upper by-pass compartment and a lower treatment compartment. An inlet and outlet for the container are located in the side wall adjacently above the partition. The partition defines a raised weir which constrains liquids entering at low flow rates to pass downwardly through an adjacent opening through the partition, to collect in the treatment compartment below the partition. A second opening through the partition is located adjacent the outlet, and pipes are associated with bothopenings. One of the openings is made large enough to allow passage of maintenance personnel, thus obviating the need for a further access opening and a liquid-tight seal for that further opening. An access opening at the top of the container is generally aligned with the large-diameter opening through the partition, thus allowing inspection, sampling and pumping out, without requiring maintenance personnel toenter the container.

The walls (10, 20) of the hood comprise a vertical side wall at the driving side, which wall is preferably fixed, and a tending-side vertical side wall and a ceiling, which have been formed as a single wall, which is preferably L-shaped and displaceable. The displaceable hood wall (10, 20) at the tending side is composed of two parts, so that the first hood wall (10) is placed on the wire section (110) and the second hood wall on the press section (120), which wall parts can be displaced apart from the wire part and the press section in opposite directions.

Abstract: An automatic sample testing machine for testing samples stored in test cards. The machine has a test sample positioning system for moving a tray containing a plurality of test sample cards and fluid receptacles among various stations in the machine. The machine has a diluting station for adding a predetermined quantity of diluent to the receptacles as needed. A pipetting station transfers fluid from one receptacle to another. A vacuum station is provided having a vacuum chamber moveable relative to the tray between upper and lower positions. The chamber cooperates with the tray to make a sealing engagement with the top surface of the tray when it is lowered to the lower position. A vacuum generator supplies vacuum to the chamber. When the vacuum is released from the chamber, the fluid samples are loaded into the cards from the receptacles. The test sample positioning system moves the tray to a cutting and sealing station and then to an incubation station and loads the cards one at a time into a carousel within the incubation station. A test card transport station transports the test cards from the incubation station to an optical reading station, where optical measurements (e.g. transmittance and/or fluorescence optical testing) is conducted on the wells of the card. When the card has been read, it is either moved back to the incubation station for additional incubation and reading or transferred to a stacking card disposal system when the reading is complete.
