Title: Process for manufacturing a cover glass with a viewing field
Inventor: PANG THOMAS W S
IPC: G02B21/34
Filed: 1997-09-16
Granted: 2007-01-02
Abstract: A process for imprinting viewing fields on a cover glass is disclosed. First, the cover glass is annealed. A grid is then placed on the annealed cover glass. The grid has small openings which define the viewing fields. The annealed cover glass with a grid thereon is then coated with a thin film of an inert metal which can adhere to glass. The thin film is applied by way of a high vacuum coating method or a sputtering method. The grid is then removed from the coated cover glass. The coated cover glass is particularly useful in the preparation of microscope slides of filters having asbestos fibres or the like deposited thereon. A portion of the filter, which is smaller than the cover glass, is cut. The cut portion of the filter is placed onto either the coated cover glass or the microscope slide to form a filter combination. The filter combination is then cleared with a clearing solution. The filter combination is then fixed to the microscope slide or cover glass by means of a fixative. The filter is positioned such that when the slide is prepared the side of the filter having fibres deposited thereon is adjacent to the imprint on the cover glass.

Abstract: In order to determine the nature of fluid passing through a pipe (6), for example whether material being pumped through a pipe is sludge or liquid phase, high frequency ultrasonic pulses from a generator (16) are caused to propagate around a peripheral wall of the pipe to produce ringing in the pipe, and the characteristics of the ringing are measured and compared in a controller (18) with stored data to determine the nature of the fluid content of the pipe. A sludge pump (8) may be controlled according to whether the data obtained shows that the material passing through the pipe is sludge or liquid tunnelling through the sludge.

L'action respiratoire peut être le début d'inspiration, et la caractéristique suivie quand à l'onde d'efforts respiratoires est au moins celle de la pente et de l'amplitude du signal. La période réfractaire peut être définie par rapport à la détection de l'arrêt d'inspiration, et encore sur la base de l'arrêt d'inspiration, une période respiratoire moyenne et d'un temps d'inspiration moyen. Une stimulation est possible suite à un arrêt d'inspiration décelé. Une autre méthode d'évaluation des moments critiques consistent à échantillonner l'amplitude de l'onde d'efforts respiratoires.

Granted: 2004-04-20
Abstract: In a fastener having a head and a shank having a generally cylindrical portion with a proximal end adjoining the head and with a distal end, the shank has a primary thread formation and a secondary thread formation. The primary thread formation has a generally uniform radial dimension along the generally cylindrical portion. In one embodiment, the secondary thread formation has a radial dimension tapering outwardly so as to increase continuously from a region where the secondary thread formation originates near the distal end to a region where the secondary thread formation has a maximum radial dimension, which is equal approximately to the generally uniform radial dimension, the latter region being closer to the distal end than to the proximal end. If the secondary thread formation is interrupted, tapping torque is lower, as compared to tapping torque if the secondary thread formation is continuous. In another embodiment, the secondary thread formation has a radial dimension tapering outwardly so as to increase continuously from a region where the secondary thread formation originates near the distal end to a region where the secondary thread formation has a maximum radial dimension, which is less than the generally uniform radial dimension, the latter region being at the proximal end.
