Abstract: A tube and float system (100) for use in separation and axial expansion of the buffy coat includes a transparent or semi-transparent, flexible sample tube (130) and a rigid separator float (110) having a specific gravity intermediate that of red blood cells and plasma. The float (110) includes a main body portion (112) of reduced diameter to provide a clearance gap (150) between the inner wall of the sample tube (130) and the float (110). One or more protrusions (114) on the main body portion (112) serve to support the flexible tube (130). During centrifugation, the centrifugal force enlarges the diameter of the tube (130) to permit density-based axial movement of the float (110) in the tube (130). The float (110) further includes a pressure relief system (152) to alleviate pressure build up in the trapped red blood cell blood fraction below the float (110), thereby preventing red blood cells from being forced into the annular gap (150) containing the buffy coat layers.

Title: Apparatus and method for evaluating subterranean environments
Inventor: OKUYAMA KEITA
IPC: G01N33/24
Filed: 2005-04-25
Granted: 2010-11-23
Abstract: A subterranean environment evaluating apparatus and method, which measure, e.g., the geologic distribution coefficient in a subterranean environments using, e.g., a pit formed by boring. The subterranean environment evaluating apparatus comprises a geologic evaluation sensor, a pump, an analyzer, a PC, a data transmitter, etc., and it is disposed in the pit formed underground by boring. The geologic evaluation sensor is disposed to form a thin layer channel defined by the surface of a rock bed. Groundwater mixed with a tracer is caused to flow through the sensor, and the analyzer measures a change of tracer concentration in the groundwater between before and after contact of the groundwater with the rock bed. The PC determines a breakthrough curve from the change of tracer concentration, thereby calculating the distribution coefficient (Kd) between the rock bed and the groundwater and the effective diffusion coefficient of the rock bed.

Title: Medical connector system

Granted: 2008-12-30
Abstract: There are provided a male type connector (1), a protective cap (2), an inner cap (3) that supports a disinfectant-impregnated member therein and is retained in the protective cap, and a female type connector (4) in which an inner cylinder is fixed at an end of an outer cylinder, the inner cylinder including an internal end portion located inside the outer cylinder and an exposed external end portion. The inner cap includes engaging legs at each of which an engaging convexity is formed. A front end portion of the male type connector allows the engaging convexities at the engaging legs to engage therewith from inside. An inner cap retaining portion is formed on an inner wall surface of the protective cap, and a force exerted by the engagement between the inner cap and the male type connector is larger than a force exerted by the inner cap retaining portion to retain the inner cap. When the protective cap with the inner cap retained therein is fitted with the male type connector, and then is removed from the male type connector, the inner cap is retained in the male type connector and is detached from the protective cap.  When the male type connector is connected with the female type connector, the internal end portion of the inner cylinder penetrates through the disinfectant-impregnated member, so that a channel is opened. When the connecting and detaching are repeated, the bacterial contamination can be reduced with a simple operation.
