IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 1999-12-15
Abstract: An improved instrument that consists of an optical analyser and a fluid swit ch using light scatter and fluorescence means to optically identify and activat e fluidic sorting of multicellular organisms from live populations of organism s such as various life cycle stages of Caenorhabditis elegans, the larv al stages of Drosophila melanogaster, and the embryonic stages of Dan io rero. In the case where fluorescence from these organisms is very weak, comparatively high levels of electronic noise accompany the electronic signa ls that are generated by the fluorescence detector and its associated circuitry . Because these weak signals cannot be used to mark the presence of an organis m, another, less noisy, signal must be used to gate fluorescence detection. A gate derived from the low-noise light scatter signal from the organism collected over an acceptance angle of at least 20 degrees. Such a light scatter signal unambiguously gates even weak fluorescence signals. These signals can then be correlated with position along the major axis of elongat e, multicellular organisms and used as enhanced analysis and sorting parameters .

Title: Improved container pick and return system
Inventor: KONSTANT ANTHONY N
IPC: B65G1/08
Filed: 2001-08-30
Abstract: A container pick and return system is provided having a two-tiered flow rail conveyor system that includes an inclined upper set of feed flow rails forming an input conveyor assembly and a lower set of inclined return flow rails forming an exit conveyor upon which a unit load may roll. At the front end of the system is a transfer conveyor assembly that receives a loaded container. The line worker may then operate a damper control pedal that permits the container to be positioned at any desired angle greater than the angle of the input conveyor. This permits enhanced accessibility of the contents of the container regardless of the height or arm length of the line worker or the size and shape of the container contents. When the container is emptied by the line worker, the transfer conveyor assembly is triggered and the empty container is automatically lowered and transferred to the exit conveyor where it rolls down the exit conveyor to the rear of the system for reloading. Upon transfer of the empty container, the transfer conveyor assembly automatically returns to an upper position for receipt of another loaded container and subsequent angular presentation of the contents of the container.

Title: Seal assembly for telescopic hydraulic cylinder
Inventor: WALDEN ELOND W
IPC: F16J15/32
Filed: 2001-09-18
Abstract: A multi-tube hydraulic cylinder includes annular seal assemblies joining adjacent tubes. Each assembly includes an annular primary seal member and an annular base seal member. The primary seal member is formed from relatively soft elastomer and includes inner and outer seal ribs which engage the bottom of a seal groove and the surface of an adjacent tube. The primary seal member is mounted on the base seal member, is formed from an elastomer harder than the material in the primary seal member, and includes inner and outer seal ribs and a heel facing outwardly of the seal groove on the end of the base member away from the seal ribs. The base member has an axial length greater than its radial thickness. When the seal assembly is compressed between the two tubes the seal ribs of the two members provide low pressure and high pressure seals for confining hydraulic fluid in the chamber. The heel is biased into the base member and holds the member in the groove to prevent rotation due to frictional engagement with the other tube during relative movement of the tubes.

Patent CA-2360425-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PEDERSEN STEVEN KRISTIAN
IPC: B01D61/18
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: A filtering element has ultrafiltration or microfiltration hollow fibre membranes extending horizontally between a pair of opposed horizontally spaced, vertically extending headers. Side plates extending between the pair of vertically extending headers define a vertical flow channel through the element. Modules are created by placing the elements in place without obstructing the vertical flow channels. Each element may be released from the frame, however, and removed by sliding it in a direction substan-tially normal to its headers without disassembling the remainder of the module. The elements have associated releasable water tight fittings between the elements and a permeate collector, the releasable water tight fittings being releasable by removing an element from the frame. An aerator below the module has a plurality of air holes located to provide a line of air holes below each element or below a side plate between each pair of elements. In a preferred process, permeate flux is less than 50 L/m2/h and preferably less than 35 L/m2/h, aeration to scrub the membranes is provided during periods of time when permeation is periodically stopped and accumulated solids are removed by periodically emptying and refilling a tank containing the elements. A bubble point test is applied to each row of the module in turn, the presence of bubbles in a particular flow channel indicating which, if any, elements of a row are suitable.

Abstract: A new method for the bonding of painted construction parts, in particular for the structural bonding of painted metals surfaces is described. In a first step of the inventive method, a carcase work adhesive is applied onto all parts of the oiled steel sheet on which later on, during assembly, bonding shall be performed. For the bonding the lacquer layers on the carcase work adhesive are removed prior to the application of an assembly adhesive. Said method is simple and rugged. In comparison with the state of the art it is more economic, enables a highly structural and high strength joining with high torsional strength and a high ageing resistant compound quality.

Title: Methods and apparatus for treating disc herniation
Inventor: FERREE BRET A
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2000-05-30
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for treating disc herniation provide a conformable device which assumes a first shape associated with insertion and a second shape or expanded shape to occlude the defect which typically follows partial dissection. The device may take different forms according to the invention, including patches (900) size to cover the defect or plugs (1002) adapted to fill the defect. In a preferred embodiment, however, the device is a gel or other liquid or semi-liquid which solidifies to occlude the defect from within the body of the disc itself. In another preferred embodiment, a mesh screen (202) is collapsed into an elongated form for the purposes of insertion, thereby minimizing the size of the requisite incision while avoiding delicate surrounding nerves. Such a configuration also permits the use of instrumentation to install the device, including, for example, a hollow tube (1206) or sheath adapted to hold the collapsed screen (1206), and a push rod (1204) to expel the collapsed device out of the sheath (1204) for use in occluding the disc defect. A device according to the invention may further include one or more anchors (902) to assist in permanently affixing the device with respect to the defect.

Abstract: Dans le dosage de l'hémogloine glyquée, on utilise une procédure simple pour la détermination du pourcentage normalisé par DCCT d'hémoglobine glyquée (GHb), dans des échantillons de sang entier. Un échantillon de sang entier lysé est d'abord mis à incuber avec une phase solide couplée à de l'acide boronique ou à un composé de boronate similaire, par des techniques chimiques de liaison covalente connues en soi. Un anticorps marqué dirigé contre l'hémoglobine humaine est ensuite ajouté, le signal résultant étant directement proportionnel au % GHb dans l'échantillon. La mesure du %GHb par une seule détermination, a l'avantage d'être très précise et, étant donné que le dosage est facile à automatiser, permet un rendement élevé. Avec l'automatisation, ledit dosage peut également être consolidé avec un autre dosage sur un analyseur. Le procédé de l'invention, permet, dans divers modes de réalisation, d'éliminer deux mesures: une pour le GHb et une autre pour la quantité totale d'hémoglobine (THb).
