Abstract: The deformable element for absorbing kinetic energy is a plastic pipe section (1) having interior surfaces at opposite ends thereof. The plastic pipe section (1) initially deforms elastically under an applied axial force (F) and, when a yield stress limit is exceeded by the applied axial force (F), the plastic pipe section (1) deforms or collapses with an approximately equal deforming force over a work stroke until adopting a physically deformed shape in which the interior surfaces at the opposite ends contact each other. The device for absorbing kinetic energy is also described including several plastic pipe sections stacked in a column with an intermediate plate between each adjacent pair of pipe sections. The plastic pipe sections and engaged around a tubular round body for support and guidance. An inner screw bolt can also be provided for pre-tensioning the plastic pipe sections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for separating nucleic acids from other cellular debris, especially substances that carry a net positive charge at low pH, by electrophoresis under acid conditions. In the purification method of the present invention, nucleic acids are separated from proteins found in the same biological sample by applying the sample to an electrophesis gel and subjecting the sample to electrophoresis under acid conditions to separate the nucleic acids from the proteins. The optimum pH may differ for different sample types but can be readily determined by those skilled in the art. Preferably, the separation is performed at a pH of about 2 to about 4. More preferably, electrophoresis is carried out at a pH of 2.5 <IMAGE>

Abstract: This method includes the steps of: for each candidate quadrilateral element comprising a pair of adjacent triangular elements (also referred to as a pair of adjacent triangular elements in embodiments), calculating a first evaluation value which represents a relationship between the candidate quadrilateral element and an alignment direction of quadrilateral elements specified by a user and a second evaluation value which relates to the shape of the candidate quadrilateral element; and selecting, by using the first and the second evaluation values, a candidate quadrilateral element to be used as an element of the quadrilateral mesh among the candidate quadrilateral elements. It is possible to further include a step of calculating, for each candidate quadrilateral element, a third evaluation value which takes a first value when there is no other triangular element to make a pair with any triangular element comprising a candidate quadrilateral element and takes a second value when there is one. As a result, in the aforementioned selecting step may give higher priority in the selection to a candidate quadrilateral element whose third evaluation value takes the first value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods and diagnostic kits for the objective measurement of the severity of pain or stress being experienced by a patient with a disorder, diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from painful disorders, and monitoring the effectiveness of different pain-treatment protocols. Pain-measuring methods comprise collecting a sample from a patient and determining the presence of a pain-associated marker in the sample. Methods for alleviating pain comprise administrating a dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a composition to the patient wherein the dose is determined by the presence of a pain-associated marker in a biological sample obtained from the patient. Compositions for alleviating pain comprise substances that are pain-associated markers or agents that interfere with pain-associated markers, and block or modulate the progression of pain perceived by the patient.

Abstract: An implantable ventricular assist device (VAD) has a small size to provide full-implantable capabilities. The VAD has two variable-volume chambers and an actuator for expelling blood from the chambers in sequence and to a common outlet, thus operating as a positive-displacement pump. The variable-volume chambers may be flexible sacs and the pump is operable at a substantially continuous flow, such as during the systolic phase of the assisted ventricle. A method of operation includes operating the pump at a first frequency during systole and a second lower frequency during diastole. The VAD pump includes a pair of coils housed within a frame and disposed in a spaced relationship to generate a coil flux through a pair of poles. A plate including an armature and a magnet is disposed within the frame such that the armature is between the poles and the magnet is between the coils. Gaps are defined between the armature and each of the poles and the coil flux displaces the armature across the gap. The coil flux follows a donut-shaped path including the frame, one of the poles, one of the gaps, the armature, the other the gap, and the other the pole, and no coil flux passes through the magnet. The magnet is not subject to depolarization and may be made substantially smaller than those of conventional devices. The magnet generates a bias flux that offsets a portion of the coil flux around the frame. A spring may be provided to counteract the unstable action of the bias magnet. The volume of the chambers is a fraction of the ventricular volume, and may be about 20 ml. To pump a typical 80-ml volume of a left ventricle, the controller may activate the coils four times during systole, or once every 40 msec.

Abstract: Refrigerator evaporator (71) passages (72,73) form a serpentine tube held against a flat plate (711) by intermittent welds (713). A shallow compartment (74), formed by a dished plate peripherally welded to the first, contains e.g. a water/alcohol mixture (710), constituting a thermal accumulator. The compressor cuts in at the evaporator's maximum operating temperature, reducing the temperature till phase change begins in the eutectic mixture. Temperature remains constant, close to the required air temperature during the change. On completion, the compressor stops. After a phase reversal, at the same temperature, maximum temperature is regained. Other configurations of the refrigerant passages and mixture container, e.g. as concentric tubes are described.

Abstract: A proportioning system between the delivery flows of two or more fluids is provided by inserting in each delivery line a chamber sealed by a moving piston and having a pipe for the entry of pressurised fluid supplied through an orifice which is commensurate with the proportionality ratio and capable of bringing about a certain loss of head and an exit pipe for the fluid delivered whose bore or discharge path is controlled by the moving piston. The pistons sealing off the various chambers are connected together mechanically or hydraulically. The system maintains a predetermined proportionality ratio between the various flows even when the throughput for example of a single flow is controlled within certain limits. The system does not require metering pumps or costly adjustment and control equipment. The fluids can merely be pressurised using normal pumps with a fixed output. <IMAGE>
