Abstract: Self-sealing membrane valves (30) can be used with containers where storage between uses is in an upright orientation if the product in the container on the underside of the membrane valve is drained from the membrane valve. This will prevent product droplets from being expelled from the valve as it rapidly opens. In addition, it is useful to have a structure on the exterior of the membrane valve to control the rate of opening of the valve during the dispensing operation. The membrane valve (30) is drained on the underside by means of a plurality of appendages (28) that are adjacent the underside of the valve and by the use of a diaphragm adjacent the upper side of the valve to control the rate of opening of the valve.

Abstract: The waste heat from a heating part (30; 133) mounted on a vehicle is recovered and extracted by a refrigerant for gas injection so that the heating capacity at a low ambient temperature may be effectively improved while suppressing an increase in the power consumption. At the heating time, the refrigerant is circulated in a closed circuit composed of a compressor (20), an indoor heat exchanger (2), a pressure regulator (25) and an outdoor heat exchanger (23), and the refrigerant, as condensed in the indoor heat exchanger (22), is regulated to an intermediate pressure by a pressure regulator (27a, 27b) and introduced into a heat exchanger (28a, 28b). In this heat exchanger (28a, 28b), the refrigerant extracts the heat from the heating part (30a, 30b) at the side of the vehicle so that it evaporates. The refrigerant thus having evaporated is introduced through an evaporation pressure regulating valve (29a, 29b) via a gas injection passage (20d) into a gas injection port (20c) of the compressor (20).

Abstract: The method of diluting a fluid sample for analysis in a sample analysis system includes the provision of an aspiration probe with two interior sections. The first interior section of the probe has a first diameter and is proximate the aspiration opening of the probe. The second interior section of the probe has a second diameter of greater magnitude than the first diameter and is located distally of the first section. The probe aspirates in consecutive order selected amounts of fluid sample and diluent into the first interior section of the probe. The fluid sample and diluent are mixed in the second interior section of the probe by moving the sample and diluent back and forth in the second interior section a predetermined number of times. The back and forth movement of diluent and fluid sample in the second interior section of the probe provides substantially uniform mixing of the sample and diluent. The use of a Teflon® probe coated with fluorocarbon oil eliminates the risk of cross-contaminating the sources of fluid sample and diluent.

Abstract: A decentered prism optical system has a first surface
at a side thereof closer to a pupil. The first surface has
a transmitting or reflecting action and also has a wide
effective area. The first surface is formed from a
rotationally symmetric spherical or aspherical surface. The
optical system has at least three surfaces (3, 4 and 5), and
the space between these surfaces (3 to 5) is filled with a
transparent medium having a refractive index larger than 1.3.
A bundle of light rays from an object first passes through a
pupil (1) of the optical system (7) along an optical axis
(2) and enters the optical system (7) through a first
surface (3) having both transmitting and reflecting actions.
The incident light rays are reflected toward the pupil (1)
by a second surface (4) which is at a side of the optical
system (7) remote from the pupil (1) and which has only a
reflecting action. The reflected light rays are then
reflected away from the pupil (1) by the first surface (3).
The reflected light rays pass through a third surface (5)
having only a transmitting action, and reach an image plane
(6) to form an image thereon. The first surface (3) is a
rotationally symmetric surface, e.g. a spherical surface,
and the second surface (4) is a rotationally asymmetric
surface.

Abstract: A printer (2) sends a calibration request to a computer (1) upon
sensing the need for calibration. Upon receiving the
calibration request, the computer supplies the printer with
data (logical density values) for a grayscale correction.
On the basis of the grayscale correction data, the printer
forms a sample image, measures the density (actual density
values) of the sample image and notifies the computer of the
actual density values. On the basis of the logical density
values and actual density values, the computer creates a
grayscale correction table (16) (executes calibration) serving
as a rule for correcting the tonality of image information.
When printing is performed, the computer corrects the
tonality of the image information based upon the grayscale
correction table and supplies the corrected results to the
printer.
