Abstract: A primary carrier or slide is prepared, with cells adhering to a surface suited for growth. Controlled culture forms a cell layer. A section of the carrier and layer is separated. A secondary carrier is procured, with a surface suited for growth and adherence of the cells. Section and secondary carrier are positioned so that cells can grow over, from one to the other.  The cells are grown-on, forming a layer on the second carrier surface. The primary carrier, prepared by adhesion of cells, is divided for positioning as described. The carriers are transparent, to permit microscopy from below, with top illumination. Carriers comprise vessels containing nutrient or buffer for the cells. The nutrient in the secondary carrier is dosed with one or more test substances. Growth over, multiplication and/or nature of cells on the secondary carrier, is monitored and determined, especially by microscopy. Further developments and variations based on the foregoing principles are described. The primary and secondary carriers share a common substrate.  An Independent claim is included for the system used.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to reduce the amount of lubricant oil leaking from supporting areas of main journal portions without increasing friction of bearing members against the main journal portions. The oil-feeding device for a crankshaft of the present invention includes upper bearing members (20A, 20B, 20b, 20E) and lower bearing members (22A, 22B, 22D, 22E). The upper and lower bearing members have a half hollow cylindrical shape, are provided with crush relief portions (28) at both ends, and jointly encompass main journal portions (14A, 14B, 14D, 14E) of a crank shaft (10). The upper bearing members have circumferentially extending oil grooves (30) provided in the faces opposite the main journal portions, the grooves penetrating through oil passages (36, 36A, 36B, 36D, 36E) of a cylinder block (12). The lower bearing members do not have oil grooves. The oil grooves (30) do not extend in the crush relief portions (28), and therefore the leakage of lubricant oil, fed to the oil grooves (30), to the areas of the crush relief portions (28) is suppressed. <IMAGE>
