Date May 2, 1996In order to facilitate diffusive transfer of an entity such as a solute between immiscible fluids and subsequent separation of the liquids without mixing, a method and an apparatus are disclosed and have first and second flow paths carrying first and second immiscible fluids on opposite sides of a foraminous sheet. The height of the apertures in the sheet is not greater than 200 micrometers (measured perpendicular to the width of the sheet and to the direction of fluid flow), and a stable interface is formed between the fluids within each aperture with a significant amount of fluid flow immediately adjacent the interface. Diffusive transfer takes place across the interface, and subsequently the fluids flow away from the region without mixing. The width of the flow paths measured perpendicular to sheet lies between 10 and 500 micrometers. The walls of each aperture may be parallel or tapered.

Title: Polyionic coatings in analytic and sensor devices
Inventor: HUBBELL JEFFREY A
IPC: A61L31/10
Filed: 2000-04-28
Granted: 2004-01-29
Abstract: Multifunctional, polyionic copolymers with molecular architectures and properties optimized for specific applications are synthesized on/or applied to substrate surfaces for analytical and sensing purposes. The coatings are particularly useful for suppression of non-specific interaction, adsorption or attachment of molecular or ionic components present in an analyte solution. Chemical, biochemical or biological groups that are able to recognize, interact with and bind specifically to target molecules in the material containing the analyte to be detected can be coupled to, integrated into, or absorbed to the multifunctional copolymers. These multifunctional copolymer coatings are compatible with a variety of different established methods to detect, sense and quantify the target molecule in an analyte. The multifunctional copolymer coatings typically include brush copolymers based on a polycationic or polyanionic (jointly referred to herein as 'polyionic') backbone with side chains that control interaction with the environment, such as poly(ethylene glycol) or poly(ethylene oxide)-based side chains that decrease cellular adhesion, and analyte-specific side chains. They can be used to pattern the surfaces into non-adhesive and specifically adhesive areas by applications of known techniques such as microfluidic or contact printing techniques.

Title: Formulations, method and apparatus for the controlled generation of phosphine
Inventor: WATERFORD COLIN JOSEPH
IPC: A01F25/00
Filed: 1993-06-04
Granted: 1996-05-02
Abstract: A formulation for use in the controlled generation of phosphide comprises an intimate mixture of a particulate phosphide and a water-immiscible compound, the mixture having the consistency of an extrudable paste or a thick slurry. The phosphide, which is preferably aluminium phosphide or magnesium phosphide, comprises from 65 to 85 per cent (by weight) of the formulation. The water-immiscible compound is preferably paraffin oil, petroleum jelly, or mixture of these materials. A surfactant may be included in the formulation. Such a formulation (21, 41) can be held in a cartridge (20, 40) and added progressively to water (13, 33) in a reaction chamber (10, 30). Alternatively, the formulation can be packaged in a water-impermeable container from which a region can be removed to expose the formulation to water vapour in a gas flowing past the container. The water (13, 33) or the water vapour removes or diffuses through the water-immiscible compound from the formulation, then reacts with the phosphide to form phosphine. The phosphine, mixed with a carrier gas (usually air), may be fed into a duct (15, 55, 66) connected to a grain silo, for fumigation of grain stored in the silo.

Granted: 1998-05-28
Abstract: A heating furnace system is provided for receiving finite lengths of workpieces from one or more continuous casters and form a supply of heated workpieces at a temperature suitable for rolling in a hot rolling mill. The system includes, in one aspect, a holding furnace receiving a workpiece during continuous casting until it is severed by a cutoff device to prevent unwanted cooling. The workpiece is fed from a holding furnace to a heating furnace wherein it is deposited onto one of a series of vertically spaced supports in a heated section where it remains static throughout the heating process. After heating the workpiece is removed from the stationary supports and returned to rollers of a hearth for discharge from the furnace to a rolling mill. In a second embodiment the holding furnace arrangement provides for separate holding furnaces to receive continuous castings from separate continuous casters and prevent unwanted cooling of the cast workpiece until cut to a finite length. The holding furnaces have doors and longitudinal sides walls to allow transfer of the workpieces seriatim through doors in a central heating furnace. The central heating furnace is aligned with the hearth as in the first embodiment and supplies workpieces serially through the heating furnace.
