Abstract: The following process steps are carried out in order to purify a liquid by membrane distillation, in particular to produce desalinated water from seawater or brackish water or process water:passing a relatively warn vaporising stream of liquid (retentate stream) over a porous membrane, vapour flowing via the pores of the membrane to the other side of said membrane, andcondensing said vapour on a relatively cool condenser surface to give a distillate stream, said condenser surface forming the non-porous separation between a feed stream to be purified and said distillate steam, which feed stream is in counter-current with the retentate stream so that an appreciable proportion of the latent heat will be transferred via vapour to the feed stream, and a gas gap with a width of less than 5 mm being present between the porous membrane and the condenser surface.In order to improve the distillate flow rate per unit driving force, a pressure which is lower than the atmospheric pressure and higher than the vapor pressure of the feed stream is maintained in the gas gap, the porosity epsilon of the porous membrane is higher than 0.7, porosity being understood to be the ratio of the open volume to the total volume of the porous membrane, the surface area of the condenser surface is 1.2 to 6 times, preferably 2 to 3 times, the surface area of the porous membrane, the effective local vapour pressure difference between the retentate seam and the condensing stream is less than 10 kPa (0.1 bar), preferably less than 5 kPa (0.05 bar) and the perceptible heat of the distillate stream is released by heat exchange to the feed stream and/or the retentate stream, with preference for the retentate stream.

Granted: 2010-12-01
Abstract: A process and a kit are provided for detecting differences in two or more samples of protein, including proteins bearing post-translational modifications and peptides. Proteins are prepared, for example, from each of a different group of cell samples or body fluid samples to be compared. Each protein extract is labeled with a different one of a luminescent dye from a matched set of dyes. The matched dyes have generally the same ionic and pH characteristics but emit light at different wavelengths to exhibit a different color upon luminescence detection. The labeled protein extracts are mixed together and separated together by electrophoresis or a chromatographic method. The separation is observed to detect proteins unique to one sample or present in a greater ratio in one sample than in the other. Those unique or excess proteins will fluoresce the color of one of the dyes used. Proteins common to each sample migrate together and fluoresce the same.

Abstract: A reciprocatory dry shaver capable of driving an inner cutter (62) smoothly along an arcuately curved outer cutter (61) for efficient shaving. The dry shaver includes a shaving head (40) carrying an outer cutter which is arcuately curved along its length, and an inner cutter driven to reciprocate along the length of the outer cutter. An actuator (100) is mounted in the shaving head for driving the inner cutter. The actuator includes an oscillator (130) which reciprocates in the lengthwise direction of the outer cutter and carries a joint (102) for driving connection to the inner cutter. Also included in the actuator is a resilient coupling link (140) which supports the oscillator to the shaving head in order to allow the oscillator to reciprocate relative to the shaving head. The resilient coupling link has its one end coupled to the oscillator and the other end anchored to the shaving head at a portion away from the inner cutter than the oscillator. Thus, the oscillator is supported as being floated or lifted with respect to the shaving head, thereby being allowed to travel along a path which is somewhat arcuate in coincidence with the arc of the outer cutter. Accordingly, the oscillator, i.e., the inner cutter carried thereon can be guided smoothly along the arc of the outer cutter, assuring smooth and efficient shaving.
