Abstract: A method for determination of the extensional rheological properties of a liquid comprises application to a sample of liquid in a closed system of a pulsed oscillatory alternating flow in a geometry creating an extension flow surrounding a stagnation point and measuring the pressure drop in the liquid across the stagnation point. The alternating displacement may be applied from the ends of each limb in a given direction simultaneously, thereby providing symmetrical flow. The method may be carried out on very small sample volumes of dilute polymer solutions.

Abstract: A solenoid operated pressure biased spool valve for controlling flow
between a pressure inlet port (24) and a valving chamber ported to a control signal
port (22). The spool (30) also controls bleed flow from the valving chamber to an exhaust
port (28). The solenoid armature (52) is connected to an operating rod (50) biased for end-to-end

Abstract: A fastener including a body and a locking pin is disclosed. The fastener body includes
an apertured base and conjoined flexible arms extending from the base and defining a passage
therebetween. The locking pin is arranged for movement relative to the fastener body along a
predetermined path of travel and within the aperture and the passage defined by the flexible

Abstract: Light resulting from chemiluminescence inside a
reaction chamber 4 is transmitted through a light
transmitting window 3, a large part of the light is made
incident on a photoelectric surface 71 of a photomultiplier
tube 2 to generate photoelectrons, and these photoelectrons
are successively multiplied by surfaces 79 at one side of
dynodes 78a, 78, and 78b. Meanwhile, a part of the light
that is not made incident on photoelectric surface 71 is
made incident on and reflected by a surface 77 at the other
side of dynode 78a, returned to reaction chamber 4 via light
transmitting window 3, reflected further by light reflecting
surfaces 40 and 41 inside reaction chamber 4, emitted again
from light transmitting window 3, and made incident on
photoelectric surface 71 of photomultiplier tube 2 to
generate and multiply photoelectrons in the same manner as
the above. The amount of light made incident on
photoelectric surface 71 is thus increased by the amount
corresponding to the reflection at surface 77 at the other
side of the dynode, thereby enabling detection of light
caused by weak chemiluminescence.
