Abstract: Improved compact insulation panel is provided which is comprised of two adjacent metal sheets spaced close together with a plurality of spherical, or other discretely shaped, glass or ceramic beads optimally positioned between the sheets to provide support and maintain the spacing between the metal sheets when the gases therebetween are evacuated to form a vacuum. These spherical glass beads provide the maximum support while minimizing thermal conductance. In its preferred embodiment; these two metal sheets are textured with ribs or concave protrusions in conjunction with the glass beads to maximize the structural integrity of the panels while increasing the spacing between beads, thereby reducing the number of beads and the number of thermal conduction paths. Glass or porcelain-enameled liners in combination with the glass spacers and metal sidewalls effectively decrease thermal conductivity, and variious laminates, including wood, porcelain-enameled metal, and others effectively increase the strength and insulation capabilities of the panels. Also, a metal web is provided to hold the spacers in place, and strategic grooves are shown to accommodate expansion and contraction or shaping of the panels.

Abstract: Un dispositif d'affichage électrophorétique (10) du type triode comprend une paire de plaques avant en verre pratiquement identiques (12, 14), fixées de manière hermétique à une paire d'éléments d'écartement interstitiels (16a, 16b) pour former une enveloppe étanche aux fluides, destinée à contenir un fluide électrophorétique. Un élément à mailles ou en forme de tamis (28) noir anodisé, placé en sandwich entre les éléments d'écartement, est opaque à l'÷il nu et produit ainsi un contraste et une coloration de fond améliorés par rapport aux particules de pigment suspendues dans le fluide. L'élément à mailles (28) occupe une position intermédaire par rapport aux limites de déplacement extrêmes des particules, ce déplacement étant commandé par une grille (18) et une cathode (20) déposées d'un côté, sur une plaque avant (14) et l'anode (26) déposée de l'autre côté, sur l'autre plaque (12). L'élément à mailles (28) est poreux, permet à des particules de la traverser, et peut être électriquement polarisé pour aider les particules à se déplacer au cours de la formation d'une image affichée.

A pump and valve arrangement is provided to convey the trapped target compound through a micro LC column for separating (and detecting) constituents of interest from interfering species, and ultimately introducing constituent of interest into a gas chromatograph for analysis. The system is characterized as being "on-line" in that fluid communication is provided between all of the system components and the process is continuous. Similarly, the system is characterized as being "multidimensional" in that both liquid and gas chromatographic techniques can be employed in tandem to provide analysis, selectivity and sensitivity in the parts per billion range.

Abstract: 2.1 A known liquid vessel has separate tanks of modular construction with plane peripheral walls, the separate tanks being connected to one another by connecting pipes. The overall construction is comparatively bulky and makes assembly difficult due to the leak-prone connecting pipes. 2.2 According to the invention a tank construction (1) is proposed with tank modules of essentially identical design, each tank module having at least one convex bulge (5 and 6) and at least one concave indentation (7 and 8). The convex bulge of one tank module can be brought into a positively interlocking, tightly fitting engagement with the concave indentation of an adjacent tank module resulting in a compact overall construction of a rigid vessel, in which the connecting pipes can be omitted. A tank construction (1) of this type can be designed and if necessary expanded as required for a mobile tank on a vehicle or as a fixed tank system. <IMAGE>
