Abstract: A liquid separator, in particular for separating mixtures of water and liquids of lower specific gravity such as oil, petrol or the like, includes a vessel which has an inlet and an outlet. A separator region is formed in the liquid separator. The liquid separated off in the separator region is received in a collection vessel which is arranged in the liquid separator vessel. In order to create a liquid separator which, despite a relatively large volume of the collection vessel, requires only a relatively small construction space and in which unintentional escape of the separated liquid from the collection vessel is reliably prevented, it is provided that the collection vessel is essentially completely closed and has a feed orifice in its top region. The liquid separated off in the separator region is preferably fed using a transport apparatus to the collection vessel via a line, which, if appropriate, is fluid-tight, and is connected in a fluid-tight manner to the collection vessel.

Abstract: A process controller disposed to monitor and control a press. The controller monitors an appropriate variable at the press representative of the force produced at the workpiece upon which the press is operating, and compares this force to historical force data associated with the position at which the force was sampled. The historical data is stored in the form of control arrays, where the control arrays are calculated based upon one or more signature arrays stored during satisfactory press operations upon a similar workpiece. The calculation of the control arrays takes into account the deviations in the variables monitored at the press, which may include force and position. While monitoring the press based upon the HIGH and LOW control arrays, each force value is compared to the values in the HIGH and LOW control arrays at the time of sampling. The press controller is configured to monitor and control a high speed press and provides control functions during the particular press cycle in which unacceptable sample is taken.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for the clinical analysis of a sperm sample. The devices comprise a solid substrate, typically on the order of a few millimeters thick and approximately 0.2 to 2.0 centimeters square, microfabricated to define a sample inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) extending from the inlet port (16A). In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.

Abstract: A computer method and system for passing a pointer to an interface from a server process to a client process. In a preferred embodiment, the server process instantiates an object that has multiple interfaces. The server process identifies an interface to pass to the client process and creates a stub object for receiving a request to invoke a function member of the interface and for invoking the requested function member upon receiving the request. The server process then sends an identifier of the stub to the client process. When the client process receives the identifier of the stub, it instantiates a proxy object for receiving requests to invoke a function member of the interface and for sending the request to the identified stub. The client process can then invoke the function members of the interface by invoking function members of the proxy object. The proxy object sends a request to the identified stub. The identified stub then invokes the corresponding function member of the interface.

Abstract: In a device for filling bottles, cans or similar containers (1) with portions of liquid, having several volumetric dosing chambers (2) that are mounted on one rotor and that are connected with a storage container (4) for the liquid via a controlled intake valve (3) and with a filling nozzle (6) via a controlled discharge valve (5), each dosing chamber (2) is equipped with at least two sensors (7, 8, 9) responsive to different fill levels, where with a rising fill level the upper sensor (7) closes the intake valve (3) at a certain level and with a falling level the lower sensor (9) closes the discharge valve (5) at a certain level. The difference in levels between the two sensors or their measuring points thus provides a simple means of defining the volume of a liquid portion to be delivered. This device has a clear and simple design, is easy to clean and can be readily reset to different dosing volume.
