Granted: 1988-04-21
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE85/00148 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 25, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 25, 1985 PCT Filed Mar. 29, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO85/04428 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 10, 1985.Production of high temperature materials with coatings being resistant to high temperature corrosion by forming a dual phase structure of corrosion resistant metal alloy and metal oxides. The metal oxides function as barriers for the diffusion of alloy elements, heat diffusion and electric conductivity. The result can be further enhanced by hot isostatic pressing of the coating and the use of tantalum as barrier layer, where the functioning of tantalum is the result of the low diffusion speed of tantalum in nickel base alloys.

Title: Liquid applicator
Inventor: DEHAVILLAND LESLIE M
IPC: A61F13/00
Filed: 1995-12-01
Granted: 1998-08-06
Abstract: A liquid applicator for applying a desired liquid to a surface includes a closed vial formed of a fracturable material containing the desired liquid, a body having a pocket with an open side and a shape adapted to receive the vial, and a porous element sealed to the body and closing off the open side of the pocket so that liquid flows through the element when the vial is fractured. The body has a flange protruding from the pocket along the open side thereof and a wing-like gripping member projects from the flange. The gripping member is spaced from the pocket and supported for pivoting movement relative to the pocket by the flange. The body also has structure for fracturing the vial, the structure being interposed between the pocket and gripping member. Upon pivoting of the gripping member, the structure flexes the pocket inwardly to exert a fracturing force against the vial when the member is pivoted towards the pocket.

Title: Flat roof structure
Inventor: KRAMER HUBERT CARL BERNFRIED
IPC: E04D3/30
Filed: 1985-05-17
Granted: 1987-06-11
Abstract: An improved flat roof structive is provided comprising a substructure and a plurality of insulating elements which are loosely positioned on the substructure. A corrugated cover member of a substantially rigid material is positioned on the insulating elements at least in an area adjacent the outer perimeter of the roof. The corrugated cover member has downwardly facing channels which extend in a direction generally from an outer perimeter towards the center of a roof. The channels are open at their ends facing the perimeter of the roof and are closed or sealed at their ends facing toward the center of the roof. A strong air flow will create a vacuum under the cover member in wide areas which reduction is greater than the vacuum on the upper surface of the cover member whereby the cover member is pressed downwardly against the insulating elements. Due to the nearly uniform vacuum under the cover member, i.e. on the upper surface of the insulating elements, the resultant force which acts in the direction of lift-off on the insulating elements is nearly zero.

Title: Improved analyzer throughput featuring through-the-tip-analysis
Inventor: JACOBS MERRIT NYLES
IPC: G01N35/10
Filed: 1998-03-06
Granted: 2000-11-16
Abstract: Apparatus and method for detecting patient sample quality, and/or analytes, in the tip used to aspirate the patient sample liquid and then dispense it onto a slide test element. Spectrophotometric analysis is done on the liquid while still in the tip, by scanning the tip for transmittance in a light-tight enclosure, using NIR and adjacent visible radiation, and detecting the absorbence spectra of the liquid. Thereafter, or prior thereto, the liquid is dispensed onto a dried slide test element for assaying analytes that are not assayed spectrophotometrically, thus enhancing throughput. Much smaller liquid volumes, and no through-the-label detection, are required, compared to doing the scanning of the liquid in a primary patient collection container. <IMAGE>
