Title: Device for the inductive transmission of electrical power
Inventor: WECHLIN MATHIAS
IPC: H02J5/00
Filed: 2002-06-19
Granted: 2007-02-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the inductive transmission of electrical power, comprising a power line which is situated on the primary side of said device and which consists of two wires which are guided in a parallel manner relative to each other. Power can be drawn from line by at least one mobile consumer, which is situated on the secondary side, by means of inductive coupling. Said device is provided with a data line which is situated on the primary side for the additional inductive transmission of data to and/or from the consumer. Said data line consists of two wires which are guided in a parallel manner relative to each other. Each of the data line wires is arranged adjacent to one of the two power line wires and in a manner that is symmetrical to a plane. The cross section of the conductor of the adjacent wire of the energy line is also symmetrical relative to the plane. The inductive coupling between the power line and the data line can be thus kept very low, and simultaneously enables the inductor, which is to be provided on the secondary side for the magnetic coupling with the data line, to be integrated into or mounted on the energy-transmitting consumer. The data line can be fixed to the power line or both lines can be integrated therewith in a common cable.

Title: High numerical aperture flow cytometer and method of using same
Inventor: FLYNN HAROLD C JR
IPC: G01N15/00
Filed: 2002-10-02
Granted: 2007-12-20
Abstract: The high numerical aperture flow cytometer of the present invention includes a flow cell and a laser input. The laser input emits a beam of light that is oriented substantially orthogonally to the flow of blood cells through the flow cell such that laser light impinges upon the blood cells as they pass through the flow cell. A portion of the beam from the laser input that impinges upon the blood cells in the flow cell is scattered at a substantially right angle to the beam of laser input ("right angle scatter"). A second portion of the beam from the laser input that impinges upon the cells in the flow cell is scattered at a much lower angle than 90°. This scatter is termed forward scatter light" and is collected on two distinct photo detectors, that represent "forward scatter low' (FSL) which has an angle of from about 1° to about 3°, and "forward scatter high' (FSH) which has an angle of from about 9° to about 12° from the orientation of the original beam from laser input. A third photo detector is placed in between these two forward scatter detectors, that is axial with the impinging laser light. This detector measures axial light loss, or light extinction (EXT) which is the sum of all the light that is absorbed and scattered by the blood cells. A right angle scatter light detector is oriented to receive the previously mentioned right angle scatter light. A forward scatter light detector is oriented to capture the previously mentioned forward scatter light oriented different angles from the beam of the laser input.

Abstract: A device for a hydraulic cutting tool ( 30 ) for cutting of at least one pipe ( 16, 18, 20 ) or tubular object beneath a water floor ( 10 ), wherein the cutting is carried out from a surface facility ( 2 ). The cutting tool ( 30 ) is anchored in a pressure tight manner in the pipe ( 16 ), whereupon pressurised gas ( 86 ) is pumped into a pipe section ( 80 ) immediately below the cutting tool ( 30 ). With this, liquid ( 8 ), and eventually pressurised gas ( 86 ), will flow out of the pipe section ( 80 ) via a short drain pipe ( 66 ) through the cutting tool ( 30 ), so as to create a gas filled pipe volume ( 90 ) comprising the relevant cutting depth ( 32 ) in the pipe section ( 80 ). The invention differs from prior art by the outflowing liquid being led onwards up to the surface facility ( 2 ) via a drain line ( 92 ). The upper end portion of the drain line ( 92 ) is connected to at least one adjustable choke device ( 102, 104 ). This allows the gas overpressure in said pipe volume ( 90 ) to be controlled during the cutting, providing optimal operating conditions during the hydraulic cutting.
