Abstract: A method and apparatus for the controlled instrumentation processing of cells and other particles with a filter device measures a parameter of the flow through the filter device of a fluid carrying the particles. A measure of the change of fluid flow through the filter device yields desired information for quantizing the particles and for quantizing the obstruction of the filter device by the particles. The method and apparatus typically operate automatically. Cytological test methods and instruments can employ the invention to quantize and to collect cells. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An off-line web finishing system performs plural functions on a pre-printed and rewound web at a series of pieces of equipment arranged in a line. Tension in the web is set at a variable infeed at a substantially constant value that is sufficient to facilitate handling of the web. A common web-transport system drives all draw rolls in the line in unison, at substantially the same speed, and without slippage between the web and the rolls. A second drive system, preferably one using a second drive shaft, rotates the function cylinders of one or more registration sensitive pieces of equipment in unison. A continuously adjustable variable transmission is operatively connected between the secondary line shaft and a main line shaft for the web transport. A control system adjusts the variable transmission. It includes a central microprocessor, an optical scanner associated with each function cylinder, and an encoder to measure the speed of rotation of the function cylinder. Each scanner senses adjacent registration marks on the web that define each impression. Control logic compares the sensed speed in the time interval T for one impression to pass on and produces an output control signal if the proper speed is not sensed and if the misregistration is less than a predetermined limit.

Abstract: An improved process for the reversed phase chromatographic decolorization, separation, and purification of water-soluble, nonionic contrast media compounds from solutions containing nonionic compound impurities involves the steps of (a) packing a chromatographic column with a chromatographic packing material; (b) passing through the column a solution containing a water-soluble, nonionic contrast media compound and nonionic compounds as impurities at a loading ratio between approximately 10 to 1 and 1.5 to 1 wt. packing material/total wt. nonionic compounds; and (c) eluting the column to produce an eluate containing substantially pure, water-soluble, nonionic contrast media compound or MRI agent. The process can be economically practiced on a factory scale and efficiently removes non-polar impurities difficult to remove by conventional methods.

Abstract: Pressure in a pad (17, 18) for application to the human body is controlled using a piston/diaphragm and cylinder device (19). The piston or diaphragm both acts to apply a force to increase/decrease pressure in the pad and experiences the pressure existing in the pad, thus eliminating the need for a pressure transducer in the pad. In preferred embodiments a deadload-balancing pressure is applied to the rear of the piston or diaphragm. A reservoir (41) whose pressure can be altered may be used to produce different values of deadload-balancing pressure. Preferably the piston/diaphragm is electromagnetically actuated, in particular using devices of the type described in WO93/01646. The pad or pads (17, 18) whose pressure is controlled may be provided in a variety of devices, such as a motion simulation seat, a bed or mattress, a massage cuff or sleeve, or a vehicle seat.

Abstract: A wastewater treatment plant for removal of organic matter, suspended solids and other pollutants comprising a pre-treatment chamber, a biofilm-aeration chamber and a settling chamber. Biofilm grows on biofilm support structure which is stationary and submerged in the mixed liquor of the biofilm aeration chamber. The combination of submerged or surface aeration and suspended solids particle size reduction occurs thereby creating a sufficient fluid flow within the biofilm aeration chamber. This combination of sufficient fluid flow, and reduced size suspended organic particles results in the efficient digestion of organic matter and pollutants by the biofilm growing on the biofilm support structure submerged in the biofilm aeration chamber. This results in a vastly more effective digestive process than conventional processes producing no sludge. Further, resulting treated effluent has a high dissolved oxygen content and low BOD and SS. The apparatus and process has the following advantages: low MLSS concentration, short biofilm incubation time, no clogging of the system, good response to shock loading, high DO in the effluent, consistent effluent quality, sludge is eliminated, wastewater treatment duration is shortened, the process is not temperature sensitive, plant design is greatly simplified, plants of the present invention are small by comparison to conventional plants, the present invention can be a significant step in the treatment of drinking water, energy consumption during treatment is low, the present invention is very cost effective, the process permits other purification processes to be used and the process is volumetrically and BOD insensitive.
