Abstract: A process for drawing wire employing a lubricant comprising perfluorocarbon compounds (PFCs), including aliphatic perfluorocarbon compounds ( alpha -PFCs) having the general formula CnF2n+2, perfluoromorpholines having the general formula CnF2n+1ON, perfluoroamines (PFAs) and highly fluorinated amines (HFAs), and perfluoroethers (PFEs). Such fully and highly fluorinated carbon compounds exhibit a very high degree of thermal and chemical stability due to the strength of the carbon-fluorine bond. Further, because the compounds are fully fluorinated, and therefore do not contain chlorine and bromine, they have zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). Further, because the compounds are photochemically non-reactive in the atmosphere, they are not precursors to photochemical smog and are exempt from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) volatile organic compound (VOC) definition. Further, because they are volatile, the compounds are easily removed at the end of the process without need for an additional cleaning step. The process provides wire at significantly higher production speeds and longer die life with improved quality and less byproduct debris.

Abstract: A phage-based antibiotic susceptibility test is carried out by maintaining a patient sample in a sealed well (12) during addition of the phage and Luciferin substrate used in the test, in order to prevent contamination of the laboratory environment. The phage is adhered in dried form to a metal carrier disk (26) which is retained beneath the cap (20) of the sealed sample well by means of an external magnet (24), and is mixed with the patient sample by removing the external magnet (24) and allowing the carrier disk (26) to fall to the bottom of the sample well (12). The Luciferin substrate is adhered to the underside of the cap (20) and is mixed with the patient sample by shaking or inverting the sealed sample well (12) after the metal carrier disk (26) has separated from the underside of the cap (20). A row of connected sample wells (12) and caps (20) may be employed to allow the same patient sample to be tested with multiple antibiotics.

Abstract: Apparatus for decorating cylindrical articles includes a plurality of mandrel assemblies mounted on a carrier that rotates continuously on a main axis. The assemblies are equally spaced from each other and are disposed in an array surrounding the main axis. A cam device drives the base for limited radial movements relative to the carrier. Each assembly includes a base and a cantilevered mandrel pivotally mounted to the base on a mandrel pivot that is parallel to the main axis. For each revolution of the carrier a decorator engages an article on the mandrel and applies a decoration to such article. Engagement between the articles and decorator produces a reaction force that tends to tile the free end of the mandrel radially inward about the cam means as a center, if the reaction force is permitted to do so, decorating quality will be degraded. A bracing device is provided to resist tilting of the mandrel. On form of such bracing device includes a track and a roller that is mounted on the base and rides on the track. The tracks are fixedly mounted on the carrier and are disposed generally in a common plane at right angles to the main axis.

Abstract: A stereoscopic 3D display comprises a light source 2 and condenser optics
4 which direct light through a spatial light modulator 41 and a polarisation
modulator 42. Each of the devices 41 and 42 is pixellated with the pixels
of one device being optically aligned with respective pixels of the other
device. Each pixel of the spatial light modulator 41 is controlled so as to
provide a light amplitude which is equal to the square root of the sum of
the squares of the corresponding pixels of the stereoscopic images. Each
pixel of the polarisation modulator 42 is controlled so as to supply output
light with a polarisation angle given by the arc-tangent of the quotient of
the pixel amplitudes of the stereoscopic images. Polarising glasses 40
with suitably aligned polariser lenses allow an observer to perceive the 3D
effect, for instance on a polarisation preserving screen 1 on which the
encoded stereoscopic image is projected by projection optics 8.
