Abstract: Insert (1) for fixing into openings, the insert being manufactured in at least two parts having openings therethrough, the parts being joined together so as the openings are in communication. One cap member (2) and at least one locking member (3) are required to form an insert, whereby the cap member interfaces with the external surrounding surface of an opening and the locking member interfaces with the internal surrounding surface of an opening so as to fixedly locate the assembled insert within the opening and cause both the insert and the opening to flex to a certain extent, whereby the insert is snugly fitted in the opening and any movement between the insert and the opening is accommodated by flexural movement of either or both the insert and/or the opening without affecting the seal between them. The insert may be directed towards the sealing of liquids within containers, the removal of liquids from containers, a combination of the sealing in and removal of liquid from containers or the joining of tubular members.

Title: Multishaft angular velocity sensor.
Inventor: OKADA KAZUHIRO
IPC: G01C19/56
Filed: 1993-03-30
Abstract: The edges of a flexible board (110) and a fixed board (120) facing the flexible board are supported by a sensor housing (140). To the lower surface of the flexible board, a vibrator (130) is fixed. On the upper surface of the flexible board, five lower electrode layers (F1 to F5) are formed. On the lower surface of the fixed board, five upper electrode layers (E1 to E5) are so formed as to face the lower electrode layers. In order to measure the angular velocity  omega x around X-axis, an AC voltage is impressed between given facing electrode layers (E5 and F5) to cause the vibrator to generate vibration Uz. Then, the vibrator is displaced in the direction of Y-axis due to the Corioli's force. As a result, the capacitance C3 between the facing electrode layers (E3 and F3) arranged in the positive direction of Y-axis is increased, while the capacitance C4 between the facing electrode layers (E4 and F4) arranged in the negative direction of Y-axis is decreased. The angular velocity  omega x can be determined by this change in capacitance values. Likewise, the angular velocity  omega y around Y-axis and the angular velocity  omega z around Z-axis can be detected.

Title: Stabilizing tetrazolium salts in a reagent.
Inventor: STORHOFF DIANA FAYE
IPC: C12Q1/32
Filed: 1993-07-01
Abstract: A stable reagent for the assay of an analyte from a fluid sample. The reagent includes an enzyme, a mediator, a tetrazolium salt and an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of sodium chlorate, 2,5-dimethylhexane-2,5-dihydroperoxide, benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl peroxide, sodium iodate, N-ethylmaleimide, t-butylperoxyacetate, nickel acetylacetonate, stannic chloride, rhodium (III) trichloride hydrate, and t-butylperbenzoate. Importantly, inclusion of an oxidizing agent from the group specified above stabilizes the reagent, thereby preventing a high blank reaction (which introduces error into the assay of an analyte). The reagent may be provided in solution form by adding water, or may be included in a film by adding a film-forming agent. The reagent may be utilized to perform the assay of an analyte from a fluid sample. The assay may be conducted in a solution medium by adding the fluid sample to the liquid reagent, and spectrophotometrically measuring absorbance of the color indicating formazan (produced by reduction of the tetrazolium salt under assay conditions). Likewise, the assay may be conducted in a film medium by adding the fluid sample to the reagent incorporated in the film, and spectrophotometrically measuring reflectance or transmittance of the color indicating formazan.

Title: X-ray apparatus for applying a predetermined flux to an interior surface of a body cavity
Inventor: SMITH DONALD O
IPC: H01J35/30
Filed: 1995-07-11
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an x-ray source for irradiating a surface defining a body cavity in accordance with a predetermined dose distribution. The source comprises a housing, an elongated tubular probe, a target assembly, and an inflatable balloon. The housing encloses an electron beam source and includes elements for generating an electron beam along a beam path. The tubular probe extends along a central axis from the housing about the beam path. The target assembly extends along the central axis and is coupled to the end of the probe distal from the housing. The target assembly includes a target element is positioned in the beam path. The target element is adapted to emit x-rays in response to electrons incident thereon from the beam. The probe tip assembly and associated control electronics include elements for positioning the target element in the beam path, and is substantially x-ray transparent. The balloon is affixed to the distal end of the probe and is inflatable so that when that probe end is inserted into a body cavity, the balloon may be inflated to stretch the cavity to a known shape. Positioning the probe tip inside the inflated balloon allows delivery of a uniform, or other desired, dose of radiation to the surface defining a body cavity.
