Title: Cartridge of microbial cell-capturing carrier, carrier treating device and method for counting microbial cells
Inventor: NODA HIDEYUKI
IPC: G01N1/22
Filed: 2009-06-25
Abstract: A disposable microbe-collecting carrier cartridge and a carrier treating apparatus which efficiently convert microbes collected on a carrier into a solution and prevent variations in the amount of retrieval of microbes upon concentration on a filter are provided. A cartridge formed of an upper lid having a plurality of through holes, a container in an inverted-cone shape having both of a liquid storage sink unit having a filter at the bottom and an air suction path, and a support base for setting up a thermoplastic carrier, such as gelatin, and a carrier treating apparatus formed of a dispensing nozzle for liquid supply, a liquid supply mechanism, a liquid heating mechanism, and a suction pump for filtration are prepared. Warm water is supplied onto the filter set up on a bottom surface of the inverted-cone-shaped container and is stored in the liquid storage sink, thereby causing the carrier to make contact with the warm water. The contact with the warm water causes the carrier to be solated, and mixed and diluted with the warm water. Then, the suction pump of the filtration device is activated for suction and filtration of the mixed liquid through the filter. By using the filter having a shape not allowing microbes to pass through and having a gap, only microbes are captured on the filter after suction and filtration. Polymers and dust to be a background upon an ATP measurement pass through the filter by filtration to be cleanly eliminated.

Title: Improved step-up circuit for driving full-range-element electrostatic loudspeakers.
Inventor: STRICKLAND JAMES C
IPC: H04R3/06
Filed: 1981-08-10
Abstract: In the technical field of sound reproduction by full-range electrostatic loudspeakers a problem exists in the drive circuit. The disclosed drive circuit overcomes the shortcomings of the prior specially designed amplifier, or step-up transformer types, rendering electrostatic loudspeakers more economically and acoustically competitive. Solved are the problems of: achieving an equalized pass characteristic complementary to the radically changing capacitive load and radiation resistance throughout the audio range - acoustically "flat", high efficiency, accurate high-voltage audio drive signals (smooth amplitude, phase and impedance transitions), appropriate impedance match to both the conventional low voltage, low impedance input amplifier and the loudspeaker, modest cost, ligt weight, compact. The drive circuit utilizes two specially designed audio transformers (T1, T2) in parallel-bilateral interconnection including R-C networks (R2, R3, C2, C3). One transformer (T1) for optimum response from 30Hz to about 5kHz, and the other transformer (T2) with cooperative added input impedance (R1-C1) for optimum response from a few hundred Hz to 20kHz. Resonant conservation of energy at high frequencies is employed.

Title: Asexual induction of heritable male sterility and apomixis in plants
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1988-07-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for asexual induction of heritable male sterility and apomixis in plants. The invention is directed to factors derivable from certain plants which, when applied to certain recipient plants, induce heritable male sterility in the recipient. Such asexually transmissible male sterility factors, termed AMS/vectors, are present in extracts of certain male sterile alfalfa plants, where they are associated with a unique 1 x 10<6> (approx.) dalton molecular weight nucleic acid and a 40-110 nanometer particle. The asexually generated male-sterile plants derived by AMS/vector treatment can be used to produce new and valuable hybrids of alfalfa, corn, soybean, sorghum, sunflower, millet, tomato, and other plants.

IPC: B07B13/11
Filed: 1988-08-18
Abstract: Processes by which a mixture of two or more discrete particulate materials, each of the materials having a different sliding coefficient of friction, can be separated using methods which take advantage of velocity differences generated by application of a force to the mixture over a surface as a function of its sliding coefficient of friction. In a first embodiment, the mixture is fed by a supply means (116, 118, 120) to the surface of a rotating disc (122), whereby the materials will be induced to move by centrifugal action. A second embodiment employs a surface (230) inclined to the horizontal and vibrated, causing materials of different coefficients of friction traverse the surface (230) along separate paths. A third disclosed embodiment uses an inclined slide (316) to provide separate momentum effected paths to the materials.

Title: Optical liquid level sensors
IPC: G01F23/28
Filed: 1988-10-20
Abstract: Two types of optical liquid level sensor are disclosed. In the first refractive-type (20, 65), light is selectively refracted by the particular fluid(s) in a plug recess between primary and secondary detectors (D1, D2). The output signal from either detector indicates whether the sensor is above or below the liquid level. The signals of the respective detectors are cross-compared and used to corroborate one another. In the second absorptive-type (100), light at a particular wavelength is passed through a body chamber (86'), which is exposed to the liquid whose level is to be sensed. Such light is selectively absorbed by the liquid. A detector (D) is arranged to measure the intensity of such light as has passed through the chamber, and to indicate the level of liquid in said chamber.
