Abstract: A foundation according to the invention for offshore facilities, preferably at shallow depths, has a substantially bell-shaped bottom part (1) of steel plate with a central cavity (21) and peripheral pressure tight chambers (25) which are separated by bulk-heads (23). The foundation is brought down into seabed or lake bottom (10) consisting of sand. After placing on the bed, according to the invention there is created underpressure in the chambers (25) so that a water current occurs through the bed layer around lower rims (17, 19) of the bottom part. Thereby the bed material is fluidised under the rims (17, 19), and the foundation sinks down into the bed by its dead load. The fluidization may be varied along different parts of the rims (17, 19) by providing different pressures in different chambers (25) whereby the foundation may be righted during the bringing down and thereby compensate for uneven bed etc. By the invention, the use of heavy concrete caissons may be avoided, and allowance is made for environmental demands regarding removal of the foundations after use as the foundation according to the invention weighs considerably less and is easier to remove.

Abstract: Methods of use, accessories and chambers, optimal for performing Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) of DNA molecules in 'Contour Clamped Homogeneous Electric Field' (CHEF) and 'Transversal Alternating Field Electrophoresis' (TAFE) systems, are provided herein. DNA molecules are rapidly separated in the minigels of these chambers. The sizes of chambers and accessories are determined by the separation between the opposite polarity electrodes; which is comprised between 6,2 and 15 cm. Reproducibility of molecule separation is achieved because the accessories warrant homogeneous electric resistance in the buffer and minigels. Chambers allow a high-throughput sample format using the reagents efficiently. It is attained excluding the non-useful electrophoresis zones. For a better optimization, TAFE chambers have several useful electrophoresis zones (UEZ), each carrying a minigel. One or more UEZ can be activated at will in the electrophoresis, to vary the number of minigels, the number of samples and the amount of buffer among the experiments. TAFE chambers having 'inverted electrode configuration' with the cathodes at their bottom are presented.

Abstract: Devices and methods for cooling vessel walls to inhibit restenosis in conjunction with medical procedures such as coronary artery angioplasty. One catheter device includes a distal tube region having coolant delivery holes radially and longitudinally distributed along the distal region. In some devices, holes spray coolant directly onto the vessel walls. In other embodiments, a balloon or envelope is interposed between the coolant and the vessel walls and the coolant returned out of the catheter through a coolant return lumen. Some direct spray devices include an occlusion device to restrict blood flow past the region being cooled. Pressure, temperature, and ultrasonic probes are included in some cooling catheters. Some cooling catheters are coiled perfusion catheters supporting longer cooling periods by allowing perfusing blood flow simultaneously with vessel wall cooling.

Said arrangement provides an internal computer performance, which is locally distributed among the mechanical drive elements and the working element ( 30 ), thus forming a local intelligence. An external interface ( 26 ) provides access to the power supply elements ( 28 ) and the external computer performance elements ( 32 ). Sensors as working elements ( 30 ) permit a learning capacity by means of the external computer performance elements ( 32 ). The buckling arm robot is characterised by a low weight (less than 5.0 kg, preferably less than 3.0 kg) with an active radius of approximately 0.5 m, great flexibility in its modular construction and an advantageous ratio of load capacity to own weight. The invention also relates to the stationary use of buckling robots of this type, to their use as rail-mounted robots or as mobile robots.

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.
