Patent EP-0568070-A1 (EP)
Inventor: JARCHAU MICHAEL
IPC: B01F15/00
Filed: 1993-04-29
Abstract: A homogenizer comprises a homogenizing valve mounted to a pump block (42). The pump has multiple plungers (48-52) housed in a set of pump chambers formed through a surface of the pump block. Sets of suction valves (7,8) and discharge valves (84) are positioned in valve bores formed through the block intersecting the pump chambers. During homogenization, each plunger reciprocates in a pump chamber to draw fluid through a suction valve and the pump chamber and discharge that fluid through a discharge valve and subsequently to the homogenizing valve. The homogenizer has a plurality of seals located along its fluid flow path and positioned to have a surface exposed directly to the fluid. As such, the homogenizer is characterized by the absence of recessed seals along the fluid flow path and provides an internal geometry in which microorganism growth and fluid residue buildup are minimized.

Abstract: In the case of this cable looming device, a first cable batch can be removed in a ready-loomed and aligned manner, while the looming process for a second cable batch continues and is not interrupted if a defective cable is found. A cable holding unit (3) is provided for this purpose, which can rotate and has first and second looming brackets (5, 6), the first looming brackets (5) being allocated to the holder for defect-free cables (10) and the second looming brackets (6) being allocated to the holder for defective cables (10). A first gripper (18) which can pivot into three operating positions (A1, A2, A3) takes the cable (10) over in the first operating position (A1) from a second gripper (22) which is provided for cable transportation. When the first gripper (18) is in the second operating position (A2), the cable (10) is passed to a first looming bracket (5), and when the first gripper (18) is in the third operating position, the cable is passed to a second looming bracket (6). The cable end which is to be passed to the respective looming bracket (5, 6) is transported continuously at right angles to the movement direction (R1) of the second gripper (22), while the other end is guided parallel to the movement direction (R1) of the second gripper (22) in a first or second channel of a cable trough (25), depending on the cable batch. <IMAGE>

Title: Electric motor, in particular for motor vehicles
Inventor: ALTMANN MANFRED DIPL-ING
IPC: H02K1/28
Filed: 1993-11-10
Abstract: Electric motors, especially for driving motor vehicles, require a total weight which is as low as possible, in addition to compact and cheap construction and a high performance capability. This is achieved according to the invention in that the rotor shaft (11) consists of a tubular connecting piece (31) which forms a hollow shaft, and in each case one end piece (33, 35) having a bearing point (37, 39) for the bearings (21, 23) is attached, by friction welding such that the material flows, to the drive end and to the non-drive end. The low-weight rotor shaft (11) results in a considerable heat saving in the case of high-power electric motors. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for control of flow cytometer having vacuum driven flow
Inventor: NORTH HOWARD JR
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 1993-11-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for controlling the movement or transport of objects such as cells and other particles in a moving liquid stream. More particularly the invention relates to a system including a vacuum pump which pulls the sheath fluid from an open supply reservoir through a flow cell assembly where cell analysis occurs and discharges the flow cell effluent to an open waste reservoir. A pressure drop is created through the conduit leading from the supply reservoir to the flow cell which aspirates the cell suspension from an open sample vessel into and through the flow cell. The vacuum is regulated by controlling the electric power applied to the vacuum pump motor. Starting, stopping, reverse flushing, and draining of the flow cell assembly are controlled by programming the operation of four electric solenoid valves in fluid communication with the flow cell inlet and outlet passages, the operation of a reverse flush pump and, the operation of an electrically controlled tube lifter. A deaerator is provided to remove some of the air dissolved in the sheath fluid provided to the flow cell assembly to prevent the release of air and formation of adherent air bubbles in sensitive areas of the flow cell assembly.

Abstract: The invention concerns a transducer for measurement of force. The transducer comprises a body part (15), a sensing element (4,27,37) springedly mounted on the body piece (15), the actuated sensing element acting as a force-receiving element whose deflection relative to the body piece (15) can be employed for computing the force applied onto the sensing element (4,27,37), and an optical detection assembly (1,2,3,5,6) for determining the deflection of the sensing element (4,27,37). According to the invention the body piece (15) and the sensing element (4,27,37) form a short optical Fabry-Perot resonator (21,23) operated in the reflection mode, and the optical detection assembly (1,2,3,5,6) comprises a wide-spectrum light source (1), optical conductors (2,3) for routing a ray of light from the light source (1) to the resonator (33) and back therefrom to the detection elements, dispersive elements (5) for resolving the spectrum of light received from the resonator (33) into wavelength bands, and detector elements (6) for detecting the wavelengths of absorption maxima (A1,A2) in the dispersed spectrum of light, whereby the locations of the spectral intensity minima can be used for computing the optical length of the resonator (33) which is proportional to the force (F,F') applied onto the sensing element (4,27,37).

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for controlling data storage. A data processing system of the type in which a first program (10) interacts with a second lower level language program (20) is provided, the system comprising means (90) for generating objects within the second program, a memory (60) for storing the objects, and means for associating the objects with one or more slots allocated to the first program (10). An interface (30) is generated between the first and second programs by the first program, the interface residing within the first program. Object surrogates are then contained within the interface (30), each object surrogate containing an identifier for a given object. To associate one or more of the slots with a particular object surrogate, a surrogate reference identifying the object surrogate is stored by the first program in those slots. During operation of the first program slots may be redefined by erasing old surrogate references and replacing them with different ones. When an object surrogate is no longer associated by any surrogate reference with any of said slots, then informing means (90) informs the second program (20). By employing such an approach the data processing system is able to automatically keep track of objects, releasing the user from the burden of having to set up L.L.L. checking routines of his own, and further enabling the system to make much more efficient use of available memory.

Abstract: A nested fiber gas burner is formed with a burner body having an inlet on one end and a burner port on the other end. A mat of fibers is formed from discrete fibers of material randomly deposited into a mold having the general configuration of the burner port. After the fibers are deposited in the mold to a depth of about 0.5 inch, they are heated to a temperature of about 1200 DEG  C. for about two hours, which causes the fibers to bond together. Thus bonded, the fiber mat is secured in place in the burner port.
