Abstract: A method for testing a cell suspension comprises the steps of: (1) diluting a portion of the cell suspension such that the liquid of the diluted suspension has the same osmolality as the extra cellular liquid of the cell suspension (plasma), and (2) subjecting the cells in the diluted suspension formed in step (1) to a cell size measurement while suspended in said diluted suspension. The method involves the testing of cells at their in vivo osmolality, thereby minimizing the possibility of swelling over time and mimicking the cells in vivo condition in respect of its osmotic environment.

Abstract: An alarm system includes a plurality of sensors (1, 10, 11), each of which is adapted to deliver signals and actuate logic B so as to activate an alarm (9) either directly or through the medium of a time delay circuit (7). At least one of the sensors has the form of an activating unit (1) that includes an indicator (4) whichis adapted to show several different signal pictures (21-25). The logic (8) is adapted to cause the activating units to show a first signal picture (21) when the system is in a normal state (30). When activated, each sensor delivers to the logic a first activating signal (31), wherein the logic causes a corresponding second signal picture (22) to be shown on the indicators of all activating units (21), and wherein the logic causes the alarm (9) to be triggered through the medium of a time circuit (7) subsequent to the expiration of a time period set in the time circuit. Upon receipt of a second activating signal (32) within the time period running from the time of the first activating signal (31), the logic (8) causes the indicator (4) of each unit to show a corresponding third signal picture (23). Subsequent to a third activating signal (33) received within the time period, the logic (8) resets all logics to the normal state (30), wherewith each unit (1) is caused to show the first signal picture (21) on its indicator (4) and the logic (8) causes an alarm (9) to be triggered upon receipt of a fourth signal (34) within the time period set by the time circuit (7).

Abstract: A coin detection and identifying apparatus and method, utilizes three closely aligned electric coils. The center coil is actively driven by an alternating current to generate a magnetic field that surrounds the center coil. The two outer coils are symmetrically disposed within the magnetic field generated by the center coil, and voltages are induced across the terminals of the outer coils which are indicative of the relative field strengths of the magnetic fields within the outer coils. A sample coin and test coin are interposed between the center coil and each of the outer coils, the coins operative to attenuate the surrounding magnetic fields. A controller compares the voltages across the terminals of the two outer coils to effectively compare the likeness of the sample and test coins. A coin sensing apparatus, located downstream of the coils, provides a plurality of optic emitter-detector pairs to detect the valid passage of a coin. The plurality of emitter-detector pairs are disposed to provide improved resistance to miscounting of coins and traditional gimmicks, such as tilting the device, used to cheat coin operated devices.

Abstract: An electrophysiological mapping device includes an outer catheter, an inner catheter slidable within the outer catheter, and an electronic activation and recording device for electrically activating electrodes on the inner catheter and/or recording electric signals received by the electrodes. The distal end of the inner catheter comprises a plurality of arms that carry electrodes. The arms bow outwardly upon extension of the inner catheter from the outer catheter to form a three-dimensional shape. Each arm has a spine of a superelastic material. Each spine is semicircular in section, and is disposed within a portion of a flexible sheath, the electrode lead wires being disposed in the rest of the sheath. The electrodes are formed from the ends of the insulated electrode lead wires which pass through the sheath, are wrapped around the sheath and then stripped of their insulation. The proximal and distal ends of the spines are fixed to proximal and distal fittings, each having a polygonal segment having flat sides which engage the flat surfaces of the spines and a clamping ring to secure the spines to the segments. A puller wire is attached to the distal end of the three-dimensional shape and passes through the inner catheter to the proximal end of the catheter where it is connected to a deflectable control handle which applies a proximally directed force to the puller wire causing the three-dimensional shape to expand outwardly. The puller wire is coated with TEFLON inside the inner catheter and with polyurethane outside the catheter allowing the inner catheter to translate smoothly inside the inner catheter and to be sealed at its distal end against the flow of blood. Multiple electrode configurations are provided to meet specific ablation and mapping requirements.

The repeating units of the pattern comprise: paper side cross-machine direction yarns forming the paper side of the fabric; machine side cross-machine direction yarns forming the machine side of the fabric; and machine direction yarns interwoven with both the paper side cross machine direction yarns and the machine side cross machine direction yarns. The machine direction yarns comprise first and second sets of machine direction yarns arranged in an alternating pattern. Each of the machine direction yarns of the first and second sets passes above four paper side cross machine direction yarns to form paper side knuckles separated from one another by at least two paper side cross machine direction yarns. Each of the machine direction yarns of the first set passes below four machine side cross machine direction yarns to form first, second, third and fourth machine side knuckles, and each of said machine direction yarns of said second set passes below three machine side cross machine direction yarns to form fifth, sixth and seventh paper side knuckles.

Abstract: A novel chemistry and application technique used in a chemical process sequence to address the contamination concerns of the microelectronic fabrication industry is set forth. These concerns are namely: minimizing contamination for organics, particles, metal/ions, and silicon dioxide. Generally stated, cleaning of workpieces (20), such as semiconductor wafers, is accomplished by delivery of a chemical stream to the workpiece surface (20). Ozone is delivered either into the liquid process stream (70) or into the process environment (15). The chemical stream, which may be in the form of a liquid or vapor, is applied to the wafer in a system which enables control of the boundary layer which forms on the workpiece surface (20). The chemical stream may include components such as ammonium hydroxide for simultaneous particle and organic removal, another chemical to raise the pH of the solution, or other chemical additives designed to accomplish one or more specific cleaning tasks.

Abstract: An edge-driven diaphragm loudspeaker driver is configured such that the suspension system of the driver is connected to the voice coil rather than to the diaphragm. Thus, the diaphragm in the loudspeaker is free of suspension systems connected to or extending from the diaphragm. By attaching the surround suspension to the voice coil rather than to the diaphragm, the diaphragm is isolated from the influence of spurious high frequency vibrations in the suspension system, thereby increasing the performance of the loudspeaker at high frequencies. The loudspeaker driver configuration also provides for a longer excursion range for the voice coil/diaphragm assembly, which allows for the driver components to be more accurately aligned during manufacturing, thereby enabling the loudspeaker driver to operate as a full range unit by producing low output frequencies.
