Patent CA-2447699-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AMREIN MATTHIAS
IPC: G01N13/02
Filed: 2002-05-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for examining the properties, especially physical properties, of a surface-active substance. A fluid is introduced in the form of a test volume into another fluid which cannot be mixed therewith, whereby at least one boundary layer is formed in a partial area of a surface of the test volume between the first fluid and the second fluid. The test volume is embodied in an axially symmetric manner around a given defining axis, whereby the boundary layer is formed in such a way that it is axially symmetrical in relation to the given defining axis. The surface-active substance is spread over the boundary layer in order to form a surface film in the region of the boundary layer with the surface-active substance.  The surface film can then be examined microscopically.

Title: Container uncapping apparatus and method
Inventor: MAYER WILLIAM J
IPC: B01F35/60
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: Apparatus and method for handling a container having a removable cover, e.g., a vial for holding a biological fluid specimen. The container may have therein an internal element that is releasably coupled to the cover, such as an assembly for processing the specimen in the container. The method involves applying an external force to the covered container sufficient to release the internal element from the cover, and then dislodging the cover from the container. The external force may be an acceleration force applied to the container, such as an impact force to the bottom of the container, or direct contact with the cover with sufficient force to deflect the cover inwardly. A  vertically mounted pressing member and a movably mounted gripper can be used.  The pressing member may act to eject the cover from the gripper after the container is clear of the gripper. The apparatus may be part of an automated system for processing multiple liquid-based specimens.

Title: Elemental silicon nanoparticle plating and method for the same
Inventor: BELOMOIN GENNADIY
IPC: C25D5/02
Filed: 2002-09-30
Abstract: According to the invention, silicon nanoparticles are applied to a substrate using an electrochemical plating process, analogousto metal plating. An electrolysis tank of an aqueous or non-aqueous solution, such as alcohol, ether, or other solvents in which the particles are dissolved operates at a current flow between the electrodes. In applying silicon nanoparticles to a silicon, metal, or non-conducting substrate, a selective area plating may be accomplished by defining areas of different conductivity on the substrate.  Silicon nanoparticle composite platings and stacked alternating material platings are also possible. The addition of metal ions into the silicon nanoparticle solution produces a composite material plating. Either composite silicon nanoparticle platings or pure silicon nanoparticle platings may be stacked with each other or with convention metal platings.
