Title: Cap piercing station for closed container sampling system
Inventor: KATZMANN STEVEN P
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: A piercing station for piercing sample container caps or thick stoppers. The piercing station has a structural frame with two vertical guide rods. A  carriage assembly is slidably mounted on the guide rods and is further driven to move up and down along the guide rods. The carriage assembly carries a blade holder, which in turn holds a piercing blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a center blade and two cross blades interlocked together, such that the blade assembly has a generally modified "H"-shaped cross section for piercing a cap on the sample container. Lubricant left in or on the sample container cap by the piercing station reduces the force required by the sample probe to penetrate thick stoppers for sample aspiration and level sensing. The "H"-shaped cut helps to equalize the pressure in the sample container during sampling, so that clot detection is more effective.

Title: Phase modulator and phase modulating method
Inventor: HASEGAWA TOSHIO
IPC: H04L27/20
Filed: 2001-09-07
Abstract: In case of the high-speed operation, it is difficult to ignore the time required for the voltage to rise to the level of voltage to be applied and the time to fall to 0V when the voltage is applied to the phase modulator. The first phase modulator and the second phase modulator are connected in parallel, and the optical path is switched by the switching unit of the control unit between the first optical switch and the second optical switch. The switching unit of the control unit supplies the phase modulation data stored in the phase modulation data memory to the first voltage generating unit or the second voltage generating unit to generate the voltage necessary for the phase modulation.

Abstract: A device for covering a fifth wheel on a frame of a tractor. The covering device includes a tarpaulin and a storage device positioned on a first side of the frame for storing the tarpaulin when a semi-trailer is connected to the fifth wheel. The tarpaulin is held in a position above the fifth wheel by an elevating device upon removal of the tarpaulin from the storing device and into an extended position. A device is connected to the frame on a side of the fifth wheel opposite the storing device far selectively retaining the tarpaulin in an extended position above the elevating device and covering the fifth wheel.  The covering device blocks dirt from contacting the fifth wheel and maintains the fifth wheel in a well lubricated state after the semi-trailer is removed thereby increasing the life of the fifth wheel. The cover also eliminates the possibility of a water and grease mixture normally caused by the greasy fifth wheel being exposed on a rainy day forming on the ground beneath the tractor.
