Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for the clinical analysis of a sperm sample. The devices comprise a solid substrate, typically on the order of a few millimeters thick and approximately 0.2 to 2.0 centimeters square, microfabricated to define a sample inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) extending from the inlet port (16A). In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.

Abstract: Procédé servant à fabriquer un matériau composite en polymère renforcé par fibres et résistant à des températures élevées; ledit procédé comprend le durcissement partiel d'un matériau composite polymère jusqu'à un état viscoélastique sans introduire un durcissement total. Le matériau composite polymère peut se façonner quand il est réchauffé davantage mais ne subit pas d'écoulement de résine excessif pendant le durcissement final. D'après les procédés décrits par l'invention, le matériau composite polymère peut être perforé en l'état partiellement durci ou avant d'atteindre son état partiellement durci. On peut utiliser de façon avantageuse un dispositif décrit par l'invention et constitué par une plaque rigide à aiguilles, afin de perforer le matériau composite. Après son durcissement partiel, le matériau composite polymère peut être profilé au moyen d'un dispositif décrit par l'invention et constitué par une plaque souple à aiguilles ou bien au moyen d'outils de façonnage connus dans l'état actuel de la technique. On peut utiliser le procédé de façon avantageuse avec des matériaux de départ composites en polymère renforcé par fibres, tels qu'un tissu imprégné au graphite/bismaléimide, de façon à produire des matériaux composites en polymère renforcés par fibres et résistant à des températures élevées, perforés et profilés, servant à l'insonorisation.

Abstract: A combustion apparatus comprises a mixture feeding pipe (1) through which a mixture of pulverized coal and combustion air flows. The mixture is injected into a furnace (2) through the mixture feeding pipe and then ignited. A radial outwardly flared flame maintaining ring (3) is provided at the tip end of the mixture feeding pipe. The flame maintaining ring is under a reduction atmosphere and exposed to high temperatures due to radiant heat from the furnace. Therefore, there is a possibility of burnout of the flame maintaining ring or growth of slag on the flame maintaining ring. In order to prevent this, a projection (6) is disposed to extend into the furnace beyond the flame maintaining ring so as to shut off radiation from the inside of the furnace to the flame maintaining ring adequately, thereby suppressing an excessive temperature rise. Combustion air flows along the surface of the projection so as to locate the projection under an oxidation atmosphere. A pulverized coal/air separating member (7) extends through within the mixture feeding pipe. A portion where separation of the flow is forcibly occurred is formed locally in a conical end portion (II) of the pulverized coal/air separating member. It is therefore possible to effect a combustion in a stabilized manner as a whole regardless of the unit capacity and load of the combustion apparatus.

IPC: F15B11/00

Abstract: When actuators (5a,5b) are driven in parallel, load pressures from load lines (4a,4b) are guided to opening drive units (16a,16b) of pressure compensation valves (9a,9b) whereas upstream-side pressures of correcting variable restrictors (10a,10b) are guided to closing drive units (14a,14b). When downstream-side pressures of operating variable restrictors (11a,11b) exceed the sums of the load pressures and the spring forces of springs (15a,15b), closing drive forces are increased so that the openings of the valves (9a,9b) are reduced. When load pressures increase or the upstream-side pressures of the restrictors (11a,11b) drop, drive forces applied in the opening directions to the valves (9a,9b) increase relative to the upstream-side pressures so lowered so that the openings of the valves (9a,9b) are increased. The valves (9a,9b) are hence automatically controlled to keep constant the pressure differences across the restrictors (10a,11a; 10b,10b), whereby the drive speeds of the actuators (5a,5b) are maintained constant irrespective of the load pressures as long as the corresponding restricted openings remain constant.

Abstract: A brake apparatus applies a braking force from a stationary member (23) to a moving member (1) adapted to move relative to the stationary member (23). Magnets (35) are arranged on the stationary member (23) along the linear motion or rotational direction of the moving member (1) and magnets (21) are arranged on the moving member (1) so that the stationary side magnets (35) face the moving side magnets (21). When magnetic attractive/repulsive forces between the magnets (21,35) on the moving and stationary members act in a direction to accelerate the moving member (1), the magnets (21,35) on either one side are allowed to escape in the same direction. When magnetic attractive/repulsive forces act in a direction to decelerate the moving member (1), the magnets (21,35) are restrained from the movement in the same direction. This brake avoids any temperature rise due to local heat generation during braking.

Abstract: A system for the secure transportation of articles such as cheques and bank notes comprises first and second docking stations (18) at different locations, and a secure container (20) which mates with the docking stations. The container has a number of lockable doors (42, 44) into which bank notes are fed by a feeder mechanism (40) at the first docking station. The container has its own microcontroller 
which monitors the status of the doors and the integrity of the container, and which can respond to external control signals while it is in transit. Once the container has been loaded at one docking station, it is transported to the second docking station at a different location, where it can be unloaded. A one-time code is generated each time the container is loaded, and must be communicated to the second docking station before the container can be unloaded. Any attempt to tamper with the container while it is in transit results in the activation of a dye dispenser, which marks the contents of the container.
