Inventor: PRESSMAN NORMAN J
IPC: B01F35/60
Filed: 2002-10-21
Abstract: A microscope slide cassette for use with specimen handling apparatus. A plurality of opposed pairs of shelves carried by the side walls of the cassette are adapted to support specimen slides by their ends in the cassette. The shelves have a top surface on which a specimen slide can rest, and a resilient bottom surface configured to pinch the slide below against the shelf below to frictionally retain the pinched slide in the cassette. The bottom surface may comprise a spring. An inclined shelf lead-in ramp guides slides during insertion. Drainage ports in the side walls above and/or below the shelves make the cassette well suited for use in staining baths. Two laterally spaced racks on the rear wall, vertically spaced indexing marks corresponding to each slide position, and a sensor window at each slide position make the cassette well-suited for use in automated slide cassette handling mechanisms. The cassette is stackable with others for compact storage.

Abstract: A method for interconnecting tubulars by forge welding involves arranging the tubular ends that are to be interconnected at a distance, up to a few millimeters from each other in a shield gas chamber, into which a reducing non-explosive flushing fluid mixture (e.g. N<SUB>2</SUB>+H<SUB>2</SUB>) is injected; heating each tubular end within the space by means of at least three electrodes that are pressed at circumferentially spaced intervals against the wall of each tubular, adjacent to the tubular end such that a high frequency electrical current is transmitted in a substantially circumferential direction through the tubular segments between the electrodes; and moving the thus uniformly heated tubular ends towards each other until a forge weld is formed between the heated tubular ends.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un signal d'oscillateur local pour la conversion directe à la baisse généré à l'aide d'un signal d'oscillateur de fréquence supérieure et d'un signal d'oscillateur de fréquence inférieure, tous deux ayant des fréquences différentes d'une fréquence d'un signal d'entrée RF. Le signal d'oscillateur local ainsi généré possède une fréquence qui est soit la somme, soit la différence des fréquences des signaux d'oscillateur de fréquences supérieure et inférieure. Ainsi, le risque de re-rayonnement et couplage du signal d'entrée RF par les signaux oscillateurs locaux est considérablement réduit. En outre, dans des systèmes QPSK, un signal oscillateur local en quadrature peut être généré avec un phasage précis par rapport à un signal oscillateur local commun.

Abstract: A common electrode (25b) formed on the lowest piezoelectric
sheet (22) has a shape corresponding to drive electrodes (24), and
lead-out parts (25b) of the common electrode have a shape
corresponding to projecting parts (24a) of the drive electrodes.
Because the common electrode formed on the lowest
piezoelectric sheet is made large enough to include the
projected contours in the horizontal plane of the drive
electrodes together with their lead-out parts, the common
electrode lies between the cavity plate and the drive
electrodes nearest to the cavity plate (14). Therefore, the
voltage applied to the drive electrode is restricted from
leaking to the cavity plate.

Abstract: Turbine blades used in jet engines generally require cooling in order to achieve desired engine performance. Cooling of blade tip areas is difficult due to the limited space available such that thickening tip areas in order to allow passages and holes to be incorporated adds to weight and therefore stressing along with causing additional manufacturing costs. The present cooling arrangement includes coolant release passages (5) which present coolant flow to coolant entrainment elements or fins (2) such that the coolant flow is entrained close to the blade tip surface (12). Thus, turbulent air flow caused by adjacent shrouds (1) and edges are inhibited from diluting the coolant flow and therefore reducing thermal efficiency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for the separation and recovery of minor components from vegetable oil such
as palm oil. Esterified palm oil is subjected to molecular distillation giving a concentrate
rich in minor components. The concentrate is then adsorbed to adsorbents such as
normal phase silica gel, reversed phase (particularly C18) silica gel or neutral alumina
as well as polymer absorbents such as polyethylene glycol and polyacrylate polyalcohol.
Minor components such as squalene, carotenes, tocols and sterols are then selectively
desorbed, separated and recovered using solvents operating at isocratic conditions. The
desorption of the said minor components are sped up by applying pressure of between
0.2 to 50 bar. By the same method, individual tocols isomers from palm oil can also be
separated and recovered.
