Abstract: L'invention concerne une tranche sciée à plages de connexion ultra propres sur un dé, ce qui permet d'améliorer la résistance d'une connexion par fils, d'augmenter le rendement et d'obtenir un dé de semi-conducteur dans son boîtier plus fiable. Des tranches de nettoyage prêtes à être coupées en dés sont recouvertes d'un film ionique d'isolation amovible soluble dans l'eau, ce qui permet d'améliorer les découpes propres à la scie et de réduire leur accumulation. Le film protecteur est thermo-durci et résiste à son retrait par refroidissement de l'eau utilisée dans les scies de découpage en dés. Toutefois, après découpage en dés, le film protecteur est retiré dans un bac de lavage de tranche à l'aide d'eau chaude déionisée sous pression élevée. Une fois le film protecteur retiré, les plages de connexion d'électrode sont virtuellement aussi propres qu'avant le découpage en dés. Le film peut être utilisé comme couche protectrice jusqu'à ce que la tranche sciée soit prête à l'emploi.

Abstract: Arrays of biological tissue can be created by removing cores from regions of interest in a
series of donor blocks (16) of embedded tissues. The cores removed are placed in a regular
array in a recipient block (15). This is typically done with two different punches, one for

block (15). The present invention comprises such a system including two separate z axes,
one for each punch. Each punch has its own stylet and the axis of each punch is parallel to
the axis of its drive. Alternatively, the invention is made by providing a single z axis, with
a mechanism for automatically changing two or more punches in and out of a holder on the
z axis.

Abstract: A hoist pivotally connecting mast (1) to lifting arm
(2), by a mechanism incorporating a link (5) pivoting about a
fixed pivot (8) attached to the mast (1) and a moving pivot (6)
attached to the lifting arm (2). A restraining link (9)
between a pivot (10) on the mast (1) and actuator attachment
point (11) on the lifting arm (2) restricts the movement of
link (5). The second link (9) acts as a stabiliser allowing
the pivot (11) on the lifting arm (2) to move only through a
set arc, determined by the length of the link (9) and the
position of the pivot (10) on the mast (1). Therefore with
the moving pivot according to the invention, the spreader
bar attachment point (7) has a greater traveling distance
than if it were simply pivoted about pivot (8) as with
conventional hoists.

Abstract: The centrifuge is a vessel with a height of 25-50 mm (75-125% of its radius), with the side wall enclosing the separation chamber. The speed of rotation (2omega ) is 500 rad/second so the liquid flow is at least 100 ml/minute. The materials and dimensions of the circuits are chosen so traction exerted on them is 0.7 N/mm 2>, the modulus of elasticity is 5 N/mm 2> and the resistance to fatigue is 1.5 N/mm 2> : The centrifuge has a circular centrifuge (2) for the liquid which has at least three channels (4,5,6) connecting its center to a peripheral separation chamber (3), means (1,23-33) of driving the centrifuge in rotation, and three channels (4a,5a,6a) made of elastically deformable material with one end fixed to each of the three channels in the centrifuge. The channels each form an open circuit around the centrifuge, with the second end coaxial with the first and fixed angularly. One channel is connected to the source of the liquid to be centrifuged and the other two act to recover the different density components produced by the centrifuge. The angular speed of rotation is omega and the device includes a means of turning each circuit concentrically about the centrifuge at an angular speed omega . The vessel has an inner and an outer vessel which are welded or glued together and which contain the channels and the separation chamber. The three channels are integrated into the same tube (7), whose diameter does not exceed 7 mm. The sections of the three channels are elliptical, with the major axes tangential to a circle which is concentric with the longitudinal axis of the tube. A detector on one of the channels detects the purity of the liquid in the pipe and as a result controls the flow using a valve. A photoelectric detector measures the frontier between the blood cells and the plasma. Friction is reduced by coating the tube with silica on a PVC base and/or reduction of the contact surface using spiral grooves. The liquid is pressurized to overcome pressure losses in the system.
