Title: Soupape de regulation de debit et amortisseur
Inventor: BROOKS DOUGLAS ALAN
IPC: F16F9/516
Filed: 1997-11-18
Granted: 2002-02-06
Abstract: Cet ensemble soupape de régulation de débit, destinée à un fluide électro-rhéologique (ER), présente un orifice d'entrée (12), un orifice de sortie (14) ainsi qu'un trajet d'écoulement destiné au fluide ER et s'étendant entre les orifices d'entrée et de sortie (12, et 14). On a placé une soupape de régulation de débit dans le trajet d'écoulement, cette soupape comprenant un diaphragme élastique (22), sur lequel agit la pression régnant dans le trajet d'écoulement, et lequel peut se déplacer vers l'extrémité libre (40) d'un bossage creux (36), ou s'éloigner de cette extrémité. Un limiteur de débit, sous la forme d'un passage annulaire (16) délimité par des électrodes (8 et 18) est placé dans le trajet d'écoulement en amont de la soupape de régulation de débit. On applique un champ électrique au fluide ER au moment où celui-ci passe entre les électrodes (8 et 18), afin de pouvoir commander la résistance à l'écoulement du fluide ER à travers ce trajet, et ainsi pouvoir commander la baisse de pression à travers le diaphragme (22). En avant du limiteur d'écoulement, on a ménagé un passage de dérivation (39) délimitant des moyens limiteurs de pression et permettant l'écoulement entre les orifices d'entrée et de sortie (12 et 14) lorsque la soupape de régulation de débit est fermée.

Abstract: A multi-well assay plate structure (54) and assay apparatus and a method for performing chemical biochemical assays is described. The multi-well assay plate structure (54) defines a relatively shallow substantially enclosed space (71) above a plurality of wells (76), with the enclosed space (71) having an inlet (72) and an outlet (22) separate from the inlet. Fluid introduced via the inlet (72) flows into the space (71) and/or wells (76) by displacing air. Withdrawal of the fluid via the inlet (72) or outlet leaves fluid in the wells (76) allowing various tests to be performed. Various embodiments of the structure are described. The preferred arrangement embodies the structure on a transparent plastic disk which can be used with automatic fluid handling apparatus (80) and the results assessed using optical assessment apparatus (81). The apparatus can be used to perform a variety of assays but, in particular, biochemical/chemical assay, immunoassays and genetic (DNA) assays and it can be used in a laboratory for multiple sample testing or at a point-of-care, i.e. in a surgery or clinic. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The preparation of aromatic ketones substituted with a thioether group at the ortho position is accomplished by the initial reaction of an aromatic nucleus substituted with a halide and an ortho nitro group with a nitroalkane in the presence of a hydroxide base. The resulting ortho-nitroalkyl nitroarene compound is converted to the corresponding ortho-nitroaryl ketone by an oxidative Nef reaction. The aromatic nitro group of the ortho-nitroaryl ketone is replaced with a thioether group by reaction with a thiolate anion, most preferably under phase-transfer conditions. Aromatic ketones may be used to prepare various pharmaceutical and herbicidal compounds.

Abstract: A variable delay circuit is formed by a fine delay circuit and a coarse delay circuit. The fine delay circuit adjusts the delay of a delayed clock signal in relatively small phase increments with respect to an input clock signal. The coarse delay circuit adjusts the timing of a digital signal in relatively large phase increments. The delayed clock signal is used to clock a register to which the digital signal is applied to control the timing a the digital signal clocked through the register responsive to adjusting the timing of the fine delay circuit and the coarse delay circuit. The timing relationship is initially adjusted by altering the delay of the fine delay circuit. Whenever the maximum or minimum delay of the fine delay circuit is reached, the coarse delay circuit is adjusted. The variable delay circuit may be used in a memory device to control the timing at which read data is applied to the data bus of the memory device. The fine delay circuit includes a multi-tapped delay line coupled to a multiplexer that selects one of the taps for use in generating the delayed clock. When the first or last tap is selected, the timing of the coarse delay circuit is adjusted. The coarse delay circuit includes a counter that generates the digital signal upon counting from an initial count to the terminal count. The coarse delay circuit is adjusted by adjusting the initial count of the counter.

Abstract: A ring computer network system having a communication controller for controller the receipt and sending of packets or messages at each client computer. The interface associated with each client computer includes a send message buffer and a receive message buffer. The send message buffer has a send message buffer counter which increments upwardly in response to messages being received from the client computer for sending on the ring network. The communication controller sends messages from the send buffer until the send message buffer counter reaches the address or a value associated with the last received message. Similarly, the receive message buffer includes a receive message buffer counter which increments as each message is received to a receive message buffer counter value. The receive message buffer is emptied until the receive message buffer counter value is reached. The receive buffer can also have a foreground portion and a background portion. The send buffer can also have a background portion and a foreground portion of memory. The communication controller continually switches between the foreground and background portions of memory and redesignates each memory portion after the switch. The communications controller can also recognize priority schemes for the messages.
