Abstract: A fluidizing reactor for treatment of fluid is provided. The fluidizing reactor includes an elongated column having an interior chamber extending between a first end and a second end of the column. The reactor also includes a plenum situated circumferentially about the second end of the column, and an inlet tangentially positioned relative to plenum, so as to introduce fluid to be treated into the plenum. The tangential position of the inlet imparts to the fluid a uniform cyclonic flow pattern circumferentially about the column. The reactor further includes an annulus about the second end of the column to provide an opening through which fluid from the plenum may enter into the interior chamber. Fluid flowing through the annulus is uniformly distributed into the interior chamber and maintains a cyclonic flow pattern. A fluid treatment material may be provided to treat the fluid flowing into the interior chamber.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble télescopique ou une gaine avançante ainsi qu'un dispositif d'expansion destinés à un appareil d'expansion de l'arc mandibulaire ou maxillaire. La gaine avançante est munie d'un ressort se prolongeant entre une extrémité avant du tube antérieur et une extrémité avant du tube postérieur. Ce ressort sollicite le tube antérieur vers l'arrière par rapport au tube postérieur en vue de compenser la pression de la mâchoire, et contribue à empêcher une sollicitation du tube antérieur vers l'arrière sous l'effet de la pression exercée par la mâchoire. Le dispositif d'expansion comprend un compartiment extérieur et un élément avançant reçu de manière télescopique dans ce compartiment extérieur. Les deux parties du dispositif d'expansion sont reçues dans les moitiés opposées d'une plaque épousant l'arc mandibulaire ou maxillaire. Une broche filetée et une tige parallèle se prolongent à travers ledit compartiment. Un écrou d'actionnement est reçu sur la broche filetée, une plaque d'activation étant disposée autour de cette broche et de cette tige. La plaque d'activation est déplacée par mouvement de l'écrou d'activation. Un ressort est disposé autour du montant entre l'extrémité avant de l'élément avançant et la plaque d'activation. On peut accéder à cet écrou par l'intermédiaire d'un canal situé dans la surface supérieure du compartiment et de l'élément avançant.

Abstract: A multiwell plate (30) for microarraying comprising a self-sealing lower membrane (14) and optionally also a self-sealing upper membrane (20) containing a liquid (18) to be dispensed. Spotting is performed by pushing a pin (10, 10') down through the liquid and then on to pierce the self-sealing lower membrane. A slide (16) having an upper spotting surface is arranged under the well plate. The liquid sample forced through the lower membrane by the pin tip can thus be deposited directly onto the spotting surface. The pin is then withdrawn upwards through the lower membrane, which automatically reseals preventing further loss of liquid. The optional resealable upper membrane also prevents loss of sample liquid by evaporation and spillage. By contrast to the prior art, there is the major advantage that the pin head does not have to traverse between the well plate and slide to collect sample liquid, thus dramatically increasing operational speed for an automated microarraying apparatus employing the multiwell plate. Excellent spot reproducibility is also observed.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: A safety device limits the pressure in an axial-piston compressor with variable piston displacement. The compressor has as wobble plate or swash plate whose tilt angle can be variably controlled by the pressure differential between the high pressure in the discharge pressure zone and the pressure in the piston-drive chamber. The safety device consists of a valve arranged in a connector channel between the discharge pressure zone and the pressure zone of the piston-drive chamber. When the discharge pressure exceeds a given pressure limit, the safety device responds by allowing an increased flow of pressure medium from the discharge pressure zone to the piston-drive chamber. The influx of pressure medium into the piston-drive chamber causes a reduction of the tilt angle of the swash plate or wobble plate.
