Title: Sealing method and apparatus
IPC: C09K8/42
Filed: 2000-09-26
Abstract: An apparatus for forming a plug in a casing includes a body of plug material and a carrier for insertion into a casing. The carrier supports the body of plug material.

Title: Imaging apparatus & method
IPC: G01Q60/44
Filed: 2008-04-11
Abstract: The imaging apparatus comprises a micro-pipette (11) having a first electrode (12) within it and a second electrode (13) close to but outside of the micro-pipette (11). As the tip of the micro-pipette is brought close to a sample (14) variation of the current flowing between the two electrodes is representative of the distance separating the tip of the micro-pipette and the sample surface and monitoring variations in the current flow enables the topography of the sample surface to be imaged. To establish current flow between the two electrodes, an ionising source such as a UV lamp is used to ionise the environment in which the electrodes are located. The imaging apparatus enables scanning ion conductance microscopy to be performed without the need for the sample to be immersed in an electrolyte solution.

Title: Utility vehicle with rigid axle
IPC: B60G17/005
Filed: 1998-04-21
Abstract: A utility vehicle has a rigid axle which can be pivoted about a fixed swivel extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the axle being mounted on a swinging link, with which the cylinder of the hydro-pneumatic spring suspension engages. Such vehicles, for example agricultural tractors, are equipped with a spring suspension for road travel at speeds in excess of 40 km/h. However, both the spring action and the swivel movement of the rigid axle are potentially dangers when working on uneven or sloping ground. The invention provides means which both disable the suspension and prevent swivelling movement of the rigid axle (4). The invention is particularly well suited to vehicles used in agriculture, forestry and construction. <IMAGE>
