Abstract: Systems and methods for the sampling of bodily fluid from an incision in the skin utilize a capillary passageway (18) having a first, upstream portion (39) and a second, downstream portion (41), with the downstream portion (41) having a higher capillary affinity for the bodily fluid than the upstream portion (39). Therefor, when the first portion (39) is filled and the fluid contacts the second portion (41), the fluid is drawn up into the second portion (41) due to the greater capillary affinity. The capillary affinities are controlled by the cross-sectional area of the passageway (18), the use of different materials or coatings to define the passageway, the treatment of the interior wall of the passageway, the use of wicking materials, and the like. The capillary sampling systems and methods are optionally combined with incising, expressing and/or testing systems, particularly in a single, integrated device.

Title: Pneumatic pivoting device
Inventor: STEFFEN JOSEF
IPC: A47C7/50
Filed: 2002-07-08
Abstract: A pneumatic device for pivoting a pivotal component is articulated to a structural element by means of a joint. Hoses produced from a material of low ductility, to which compressed air can be admitted, are inserted between the pivotal component and the structural element. The hoses contain an airtight bag. When these bags are inflated via valves, compressive forces act both on the structural element and on the pivotal component, causing the latter to swivel out. In order that the hoses cannot migrate, webs run from the joint to the hoses. In order to relieve the hoses in a specific limit position of the pivotal component and to prevent oscillatory movements of the pivotal component, a locking device is provided. The locking device includes a rod, which runs through a brake device fixed to an arm.

Patent EP-1525418-A1 (EP)
Title: Vent valve
Inventor: MULLER MICHAEL PAUL
IPC: F16K31/385
Filed: 2002-07-31
Abstract: The invention concerns an air transfer valve which automatically vents accumulated air from pressurized liquid reticulation pipelines or vessels. The valve ( 10 ) has a housing ( 12 ) which is connectable to the pipeline or vessel. The housing has a first outlet ( 38 ) venting to atmosphere and a control chamber ( 60 ) which is exposed to internal pressure in the housing via a control chamber inlet. A first valve closure ( 34 ) can move to open and close the first outlet. This valve closure is exposed to control chamber pressure tending to move it to close the first outlet and to internal housing pressure tending to move it to open the first outlet. When the housing is pressurized the first valve closure ( 34 ) is maintained in a closed position by virtue of an unbalanced pressure force acting on it that is attributable to exposure of the valve closure to atmosphere through the first outlet. There is also a control chamber outlet ( 36 ) from the control chamber ( 60 ) to atmosphere. This outlet is larger than the control chamber inlet. The valve also incorporates a float ( 20 ) in the housing ( 12 ) which is arranged to be buoyed up by liquid entering the housing from the pipeline and a second valve closure ( 24 ) carried by the float which is arranged to open and close the control chamber outlet ( 36 ) in response to movement of the float caused by variations in the level of liquid in the housing. Downward movement of the float ( 20 ) in response to a drop in liquid level in the housing ( 12 ), attributable to accumulation of air in the housing, causes the second valve closure ( 24 ) to open the control chamber outlet ( 36 ). This allows the control chamber ( 60 ) to vent to atmosphere. The pressure in the control chamber ( 60 ) drops relative to the internal housing pressure and creates an unbalanced pressure force on the valve closure ( 34 ) which causes it to open the outlet ( 38 ). The housing can then vent to atmosphere via the outlet ( 38 ).

Abstract: The invention features incapacitated whole cell bacterial immunogenic compositions produced by infecting a bacterium with Lys minus bacteriophage, which are deficient in the lysin protein. Lys minus bacteriophage retain activity in infection of its appropriate bacterial host, destruction of the bacterial genome, and replication, which are sufficient to inhibit bacterial growth and replication. The resulting, Lys minus-infected bacterium is provided in a state of bacteriostasis, and is not capable of replicating further (e.g., is "incapacitated"). The incapacitated bacterium can then be used as to elicit an immune response for prophylactic and/or therapeutic purposes. The invention thus also features incapacitated bacteria formulated appropriately for use in immunogenic compositions for eliciting an immune response, e.g., for production of antibodies in a non-human host or in a whole cell bacterial vaccine.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display method and a device
therefor are provided in which a number of images can be
displayed in the horizontal direction while image
discontinuity can be eliminated by providing overlaps of
display angular ranges between images having adjacent
horizontal display directions. 
     A number of images are displayed in horizontal and
vertical directions so that the display directions do not
agree with each other, and by expanding vertical display
angular ranges of entire images with a vertical diffuser
(17), a vertical display angular range common to the entire
images is produced. In this common vertical display angular
range, the entire images have different horizontal display
directions. Thereby, a number of images can be displayed
because image sources can be arranged also in the vertical
direction in addition to the horizontal direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for stabilizing the frequency of a piezoelectric crystal resonator, especially useful in common emergency positioning radio beacons. A temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) (20) is mounted on one surface of a thin substrate. The TCXO includes a piezoelectric device compensation network to reduce the frequency fluctuations of the crystal through variations in temperature. A heating circuit (25) is mounted to the opposing surface of the substrate, thereby providing a thermal connection between the two circuits. The heating circuit includes a temperature sensor (70) for sensing changes in ambient temperatures and a heater control amplifier (60) for adjusting the power of a heating element. The substrate with the two circuits disposed thereon is suspended within a hermetically sealed enclosure by a plurality of support pins. The crystal oscillator is therefore maintained within a certain temperature range while temperatures at which activity dips often occur are avoided.

Abstract: A method of simulation and/or fitting of X-ray scattering patterns comprising
X-ray reflection and X-ray diffraction from multilayers with N repeating basic
periods of a superlattice comprising a number L of single layers within each
basic period, on a substrate, comprises the following steps:
   a) introducing the scattering matrix (SM) of one basic period of the
superlattice, wherein the scattering matrix consists of the
product of the scattering matrices of the single layers within the
basic period;   b) construction of superlattice eigenwaves using diagonalisation of
the scattering matrix;   c) using the superlattice eigenwaves to obtain an analytical
representation of the wavefield and a solution of the boundary
problem for the finite number N of basic periods of the
superlattice;   d) calculation of the intensity distribution of the scattering patterns
by an analytical formula based on step c).    
     This allows the calculation of an X-ray scattering pattern of a periodically
multilayered film sample on a substrate which is fast and simple to carry out.
