Title: Coupling assemblies for providing fluid connection
Inventor: KETCHAM MARK G
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2000-05-29
Granted: 2009-03-24
Abstract: A coupling assembly comprising a female connector body, a male member, a retainer and a dust barrier. The female connector body defines a bore extending axially inward into the connector body from an entrance. A radial face is defined in the bore axially inward of the entrance. The male member is received within said bore. The male member is formed at the end of a tube and includes a projection extending radially from the tube. The retainer has at least two locking beams extending between the radially extending projection and the radial face to retain the male member in the bore. The locking beams defines a slot between the locking beams. The dust barrier is slidably mounted on the tube. The dust barrier has at least one extension insertable within the slot so as to prevent inadvertent radially inward movement of the locking beams. Wherein upon sliding the dust barrier toward the female connector body, the dust barrier encloses the bore so as to prevent foreign material from entering the coupling assembly.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de définition de profil moléculaire rapide de tissus ou d'autres prélèvements cellulaires, le procédé consistant à placer un prélèvement donneur à un emplacement attribué dans un arrangement récepteur, à réaliser des copies de l'arrangement et à effectuer une analyse biologique différente de chaque copie. Dans un mode de réalisation, on forme les copies de l'arrangement en plaçant des prélèvements allongés dans une matrice tridimensionnelle, puis en coupant des sections de la matrice pour former plusieurs copies d'un arrangement bidimensionnel qui peuvent alors être soumises aux différentes analyses biologiques. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on peut former l'arrangement avec des suspensions cellulaires de manière à former plusieurs copies identiques d'un arrangement, les positions correspondantes dans les copies d'arrangements contenant des échantillons provenant du même prélèvement ou d'un prélèvement similaire. On compare les résultats des différentes analyses biologiques pour déterminer s'il existe des corrélations entre les résultats des différentes analyses biologiques à chaque emplacement attribué. Dans certains modes de réalisation, les prélèvements peuvent être des prélèvements de tissus sur différentes tumeurs qui sont soumis à plusieurs analyses parallèles moléculaires (y compris des analyses génétiques et immunologiques). On utilise alors les résultats des analyses parallèles pour détecter des caractéristiques moléculaires communes du type de tumeur, et on peut par conséquent les utiliser dans le diagnostic ou le traitement de la maladie. On peut mettre en corrélation les caractéristiques biologiques du tissu avec des informations cliniques ou autres, afin de détecter des caractéristiques associées au tissu, telles que la sensibilité ou la résistance à des types particuliers de traitement médicamenteux. Les tissus provenant d'organismes transgéniques ou modèles ou les suspensions cellulaires (telles que les préparations cytologiques ou les prélèvements d'affections malignes liquides ou les lignées cellulaires) représentent d'autres exemples de tissus appropriés pour être placés dans la matrice.

Abstract: A service option overlay for a CDMA wireless communication in which multiple allocatable subchannels are defined on a reverse link by assigning different code phases of a given long pseudonoise (PN) code to each subchannel. The instantaneous bandwidth needs of each on-line subscriber unit are then met by dynamically allocating none, one, or multiple subchannels on an as needed basis for each network layer connection. The system efficiently provides a relatively large number of virtual physical connections between the subscriber units and the base stations on the reverse link for extended idle periods such as when computers connected to the subscriber units are powered on, but not presently actively sending or receiving data. These maintenance subchannels permit the base station and the subscriber units to remain in phase and time synchronism. This in turn allows fast acquisition of additional subchannels as needed by allocating new code phase subchannels. Preferably, the code phases of the new channels are assigned according to a predetermined code phase relationship with respect to the code phase of the corresponding maintenance subchannel.

Title: Electrostatic fluid accelerator

IPC: F15D1/00
Filed: 2000-10-13
Granted: 2008-01-15
Abstract: An electrostatic fluid accelerator having a multiplicity of closely spaced corona electrodes (1).  The close spacing of such corona electrodes (1) is obtainable because such corona electrodes (1) are isolated from one another with exciting electrodes (2).  Either the exciting electrode (2) must be placed asymmetrically between adjacent corona electrodes (1) or an accelerating electrode must be employed. The accelerating electrode can be either an attracting (13) or a repelling electrode (19). Preferably, the voltage between the corona electrodes (1) and the exciting electrodes (2) is maintained between the corona onset voltage and the breakdown voltage with a flexible top high-voltage power supply. Optionally, however, the voltage between the corona electrodes (1) and the exciting electrodes (2) can be varied, even outside the range between the corona onset voltage and the breakdown voltage, in order to vary the flow of fluid. And, to achieve the greatest flow of fluid, multiple stages (28, 29 and 30) of the individual Electrostatic Fluid Accelerator are utilized with a collecting electrode (31 or 32) between successive stages (28, 29 and 30) in order to preclude substantially all ions and other electrically charged particles from passing to the next stage (28, 29 or 30), where they would tend to be repelled and thereby impair the movement of the fluid. Finally, constructing the exciting electrode (2) in the form of a plate that extends downstream with respect to the desired direction of fluid flow also assures that more ions and, consequently, more fluid particles flow downstream.
