Title: Device and method for conducting biological assays containing particulate screening system
IPC: G01N33/92
Filed: 1992-07-31
Abstract: Described herein is a device and method for conducting biological assays comprising the use of a particulate screening system to remove contaminating substances from the biological sample. The particulate screening system comprises an initial hydrophilic screening layer, at least one final hydrophilic screening layer, and a reagent membrane pad with at least one hydrophilic microporous membrane having incorporated within it a colorimetric detection system for such analyte. The device and method of the invention are adapted to detect, and in some cases quantitatively or semi-quantitatively measure, an analyte present in a biological fluid so that a color change is observed when said fluid is brought into contact with the reagent membrane pad containing the detection system. The system is particularly suited in glucose or cholesterol detection devices where presence of particulate matter in the biological sample, most notably red blood cells, would be a hindrance to the analytical results. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Arranged on one end of a liftable and rotatable horizontal lever arm (5) is a connection element (28), and suspended on the latter is a two-part bench (25) consisting of blades which is used for transferring physically handicapped persons between bed and bathtub and for cleaning and attending to them. The two-part bench (25) consists of a first row (21) of blades with an articulation (20) and head part (19), and of a second row (24) of blades, both of these rows consisting of supporting blades (18) which are arranged at right angles along a holder tube (32) and a hot-air tube (33) and which extend parallel to one another. These blades (18) are arranged on the upper holding device (13) in an undetachable manner and are arranged on the lower holding device (16) of the connection element (28) in such a way that they can be easily removed. The two rows (21, 24) of blades which interlock like fingers can be vertically adjusted relative to the bathtub by means of the lever arm (5) and relative to one another by means of the lifting mechanism (15) and thereby permit effortless handling of the patient. When levelled out, they form a virtually continuous and flat surface (36) for supporting physically handicapped persons, which surface (36) can be turned about the vertical axis (29) and can be displaced in translation in the three spatial axes (X, Y, Z). The supporting blades (18) are made of an easy-to-disinfect plastic and have air outlet openings (31) for hot air, for automatic washing, drying and massaging, and for leading germs off through the transfer system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a wire running system of a wire cut electric 
discharge machine, the position of a brake roller (5) 
abutting against the wire (14) is adjustable in the 
direction of the rotational axis thereof with respect to 
a wire (14) in a fixed position. The adjustment of the 
position is carried out by a shift device (21) having a 
screw-feeding mechanism (23) driven by a motor (22), and 
the movement and positioning of the roller (5) along a 
rotation axle (16) are performed. This embodiment can 
be applied to other rollers in the wire running system, 
and adjustment of a position may be carried out 
manually. Thus, it can be prevented that a wire abuts 
against only one specific portion of the peripheral face 
of a roller to form a groove.

Inventor: SPENCER STEVEN J
IPC: B21C37/20
Filed: 1995-11-09
Abstract: A heat transfer tube ( 10 ) for use in a heat exchanger where heat is transferred between a
fluid flowing through the tube and a fluid flowing around the exterior of the tube and where the
fluid external to the tube boils during the heat exchange process. The tube has at least one fin
convolution ( 20 ) extending helically around its external surface ( 13 ). A pattern of notches
( 30 ) extends at an oblique angle (α) across the fin convolution at intervals about the
circumference of the tube. There is a spike ( 22 ) between each pair of adjacent notches. The
distal tip ( 23 ) is flattened . The maximum width ( W     t   ) of the spike is greater than the width
(W r ) of the proximal portion of the fin convolution and is of a width sufficient to overlap with
the distal tips of spikes in adjacent fin convolutions, thus forming reentrant cavities between
the adjacent fin convolutions and under the overlapping tips. The fin convolution, notches and
spikes are formed in the tube by rolling the wall of the tube between a mandrel and, first, a
gang of finning disks ( 63 ), then second, a notching wheel ( 66 ) and, third, a smooth wheel
( 67 ). Because, during the manufacture of the tube, of the interaction of the rotating and
advancing tube, the notching wheel and the smooth wheel, the angle (β) of inclination of the
axis of the tip of the spike is oblique with respect to the notch angle

Abstract: To form a high-quality insulating layer at a low
temperature, a semiconductor layer (64) is formed on an
insulating surface of an insulating substrate (61), and
the semiconductor layer is modified by an excimer laser
irradiated from a surface opposing the insulating
surface side of the semiconductor layer (64) to form an
insulating
channel protective layer (13). This selective laser nitridation process
can be used to form the gate insulator of a direct thin film transistor. 
     Laser irradiation is also used to dope selected regions (12) as well
as the source and the chain. Another laser is used to selectively
recrystallize the channel (14). 
     These techniques are applied to the fabrication of photosensors,
liquid crystal displays and x-ray radiation detectors.

The external layer (4) is plain-, multilayer- or laminated glass, or their combinations. On the inner surface of the glass, visible externally, there is a functional layer (5). The novel feature is partial transparency of this layer to solar radiation; however, it appears opaque to the eye. It comprises insular dots of regular or irregular shape, distributed over the glass surface. These are opaque. The tiny spacing between individual adjacent dots is limited to a maximum set value. These gaps are so small in themselves, that close observation by the human eye is unable to resolve them.

Abstract: The primary function of the optional handler is to make plates
available on demand to the imaging engine. A multitude of
plates are stored inside cassettes and these cassettes are
loaded into the handler. There may be up to four cassettes
residing in the handler. Inside a cassette there may be a
protective interleaf sheet, sometimes called a slip sheet,
between each plate which is removed by the handler and
discarded. The handler receives commands from the engine
control sequencer which provides instructions as to what
cassette needs to be accessed to make a plate available to the
picker mechanism so the plate may be conveyed to the imaging
engine. Conversely the handler provides status information to
the engine to make full interaction with the system possible.
