Abstract: A planetary gear reducer (1) includes: a sun gear (5) having external teeth and fixed concentrically to a power input shaft (3); a plurality of planet gears (7) having external teeth and mashing with the sun gear (5); a ring gear (9) having internal teeth and meshing with the planet gears (7); a planet carrier (11) configured to support a plurality of planet shafts (13), each of which is a rotational axis of a corresponding one of the planet gears (7), and to output revolution of the plurality of planet gears (7) as first power; and a cylindrical support (27) connected to the ring gear (9) such that the cylindrical support (27) is non-rotatable relative to the ring gear (9), the cylindrical support (27) being configured to output rotation of the ring gear (9) as second power.  The cylindrical support (27) includes, at its one part along the direction of a central axis, a flexible structure (41) which is curved radially inward and has a V-shaped longitudinal section. This configuration makes it possible to both obtain rigidity and prevent misalignment while suppressing an increase in the weight of the gear reducer.

Abstract: Method for determining quality of focus of a digital image of a biological specimen includes obtaining a digital image of a specimen using a specimen imaging apparatus. Measure of image texture is calculated at two different scales, and the measurements are compared to determine how much high-resolution data the image contains compared to low-resolution data. The texture measurement may, for example, be a Brenner auto-focus score calculated from the means of adjacent pairs of pixels for the high-resolution measurement and from the means of adjacent triples of pixels for the low-resolution measurement. A score indicative of the quality of focus is then established based on a function of the low-resolution and high- resolution measurements, and may be used by an automated imaging device to verify that image quality is acceptable, or to adjust the focus and acquire new images to replace any deemed unacceptable.

Abstract: A gas bearing is in fluid communication with a pressurized gas supply and a gas sink. The gas bearing includes a gas supply member defining a gas supply bearing surface and a gas sink member defining a gas sink bearing surface. A cylindrical depression, defining one of the gas supply bearing surface and the gas sink bearing surface, is located in one of the gas supply member and the gas sink member. A cylindrical protrusion, defining the other surface, protrudes from the other member and is sized to fit within the cylindrical depression with a predetermined clearance. The gas supply bearing surface is opposed to the gas sink bearing surface. An opening is located in the gas supply bearing surface. The opening is in fluid communication with the pressurized gas supply at a feed pressure via the gas supply member. A porous coating covers a portion of the gas supply bearing surface surrounding the opening. The porous coating is in fluid communication with the pressurized gas supply via the gas supply member for maintaining a bearing pressure between the porous coating and the gas sink bearing surface, such that the bearing pressure is greater than the feed pressure. An annular channel located in the gas sink bearing surface is aligned with and located opposite the opening, and is in fluid communication with the gas sink via the gas sink member.

Abstract: Mycoplasma contamination of a known cell line is detected by collecting a Raman spectrum of a targeted volume within a sample, the targeted volume containing a known cell line of interest, obtaining a reference spectrum uniquely associated with the known cell line where the obtained reference spectrum is known to be free of mycoplasma and comparing, using a processing device, the reference spectrum to the collected spectrum. Mycoplasma is further detected by identifying whether there are unnatural molecular compositions within the collected spectrum based upon the comparison of the reference spectrum to the collected spectrum and providing an indication as to whether mycoplasma is detected in the collected Raman spectrum based upon whether unnatural molecular compositions are identified within the collected spectrum.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing a carboxylic acid, which method comprises the steps of - providing magnesium carboxylate, wherein the carboxylic acid corresponding with the carboxylate has a solubility in water at 20 °C of 80 g/100 g water or less; - acidifying the magnesium carboxylate with HCl, thereby obtaining a solution comprising carboxylic acid and magnesium chloride (Mg Cl2); - optionally a concentration step, wherein the solution comprising carboxylic acid and MgCl2 is concentrated; - precipitating the carboxylic acid from the solution comprising the carboxylic acid and MgCl2, thereby obtaining a carboxylic acid precipitate and a MgCl2 solution. The inventors found that the addition of HCl to a magnesium salt of the carboxylic acid and subsequent precipitation of the carboxylic acid from the solution leads to a very efficient separation of the carboxylic acid from a magnesium carboxylate solution.

Abstract: A method of and a device for protecting an electric motor (4) in a pod unit (1) for propulsion of marine vessels against shaft bending shocks when the blades (2) of the pod propeller hit ice blocks or other hard objects, said motor (4) having a drive shaft (3), a rotor (41) and a stator (42), said shocks tending to momentarily bend the drive shaft (3) to such an extent that the rotor (41) will come into contact with the stator (42). In accordance with the present invention, the rotor (41) is prevented from coming in detrimental contact with the stator (42) by providing at least two members (61, 62), which together form a radial plain bearing (6) having mating arcuate bearing surfaces (611 and 621, respectively), which during normal operation of the motor (4) are spaced from one another by a gap and come in contact with one another only at extreme loads with short durations. One of the members (61, 62) is an inner member (61) having a circular circumference that constitutes one (611) of the bearing surfaces (611, 621). The arcuate bearing surface (611) of the inner member (61) is coaxial with the rotor (41) and rotary therewith, and at least one of the other members is an outer member (62), which fixed in relation to the stator (42) and has its arcuate bearing surface (621) coaxial therewith.

Title: Modification of biomedical polymers for prevention of fouling and clotting
Inventor: THOMPSON MICHAEL

Filed: 2014-06-25
Granted: 2021-04-13
Abstract: A surface-modified polymer is described, comprising a polymeric material and a self-assembling monolayer covalently bound thereto. The monolayer comprises monoethylene glycolated-OH (MEG-OH); 2-(3-trichlorosilyl-propyloxy)-ethyl-trifluoroacetate (7-OEG or MEG-TFA); 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl-13-trichlorosilyl-tridecanoate (TTTA); OEGylated TTTA (OEG-TTTA); S-(2-(2-(2-(3-trichlorosilyl-propyloxy)-ethoxy)-ethoxy)-ethyl)- benzenethiosulfonate (OEG-TUBTS); or a combination thereof. Methods are described for forming a surface-modified polymer by surface activation, such as with plasma. By utilizing the surface-modified polymer to make medical equipment or devices for contacting biological fluids, a reduction in surface fouling and thrombus formation can result. Advantageously, polymeric equipment or components so modified may have a reduction in unwanted chemical interactions leading to fouling or clotting. Short trichlorosilane surface modifiers allow films to be deposited onto poly(ethylene terephthalate), polycarbonate, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, and other polymers activated using plasma.
