摘要:
The present invention relates to a energy high efficiency integrated air conditioning system which uses 3F-CMC membrane and with three fluid contactors. The system according to the invention is as a hybrid system, which combines a steam compression cycle with a cycle operating with liquid desiccants. The system is equipped with a refrigerant flow switching valve for actuating with greater energy efficiency also the winter heating as well as the air conditioning in the intermediate and summer seasons.

The present invention relates to a structural element known in the technical field as “tensairity”, which introduces as distinctive elements with respect to the known art: (i) ropes in the shape-memory alloy (SMA) with superelastic (SE) and shape memory (ME) behavior; (ii) mechanical tensioners for the adjustment of the initial tension in the ropes; (iii) optionally a control apparatus (processor) is connected to electric circuits that induce flow of intensity variable current through the SMA wire ropes; (iv) optionally devices for real-time monitoring of the temperature and the level of tension in the SMA ropes; (v) optionally devices for real-time monitoring of the tensairity oscillations; (vi) optionally new structural geometries capable of sustaining static actions and multidirectional dynamics.
摘要:
An echo-scintigraphic probe for medical applications and the method of merging images. It is constituted by the union of an ultrasound probe suitably integrated, both in geometric terms, and in terms of image processing, with a scintigraphic probe or gamma camera (3). With a single application of said probe, one is able to provide a double image of the object under examination. The ultrasound probe is housed in the head, above the plane of the collimator and kept projecting to favor the direct contact with the body part of the patient to be examined. The collimator is able to obtain images of the biodistribution of a radiolabelled drug by radiation with frontal incidence, maintaining the characteristics of the ultrasound probe. The probe is applicable to both clinical diagnosis and intraoperative diagnosis of cancer with the use of radio tracers. A guided diagnostic method is disclosed that realizes a functional integration of a pair of ultrasound and scintigraphic images concurrently obtained by the echo-scintigraphic probe.
摘要:
A process for producing a packaged bandage, comprising the successive steps of: - preparation at a temperature comprised between 70 and 95°C of an aqueous solution of agar, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and sodium alginate; - casting of said solution in a mold cavity and cooling at room temperature, so as to convert said solution into a thermolabile gel; - addition of divalent metal ions to said gel with the formation of a body that contains a hydrogel of said divalent metal alginate and agar, and that separates from the walls of the mold; - extraction of said body from the mold; - insertion of said body within a casing; - sealing of said casing; and - irradiation of said sealed casing with a gamma and/or beta radiation, so as to cause the cross-linking of PVP and exert sterilization action.
摘要:
The surgical instrument (1) for colon-rectum operations comprises: - a handle (2), - a shaft assembly (G) that frontally protrudes from the handle, - a first head (3) that frontally protrudes from the shaft assembly (G) comprising a mechanical stapler of 'cut-and-sew' type and adapted to cut and suture the colon-rectum; - a second head (4) that frontally protrudes from the shaft assembly (G) disposed at the side of the first head (3), comprising forceps adapted to tighten and strangulate the colon-rectum without cutting it; wherein the shaft assembly (G) and the first and the second heads (3, 4) are dimensioned in such manner to be inserted into a cannula of a trocar for laparoscopy, and where the forceps of the second head (4) comprise a plurality of nozzles (U, U') connected to at least a duct (47, 47') formed in the second head (4) and communicating with a main duct (75) formed in the shaft assembly (G) connected to a supply unit (B) adapted to supply a washing liquid that comes out of the nozzles (U, U') to wash the colon-rectum stump from top to bottom, said nozzles (U, U') being configured so as to pierce the wall of the colon-rectum, but not cross the colon-rectum from side to side.
摘要:
In particular, the method for detecting circulating tumour cells in a body fluid comprises a step of detecting a change in pH and/or in a concentration of at least one molecule selected from lactic acid, lactate ions and protons within an isolated volume of said body fluid in which a cell has been encapsulated.
摘要:
Method to carry out analyses on a sputum sample (11) comprising at least one component (C i ), that provides the following steps: - making available said sputum sample (11); - making available at least one set of reference data (14) associated with different microbial-based pulmonary pathological conditions; - measuring at least a relaxation time of the hydrogen atoms (T 2i ) and an average relaxation time of the hydrogen atoms (T 2m ); - comparing said average relaxation time (T 2m ) and said relaxation times of the hydrogen atoms (T 2i ) with said reference data (14) in order to determine the pathological condition associated with said sputum sample (11); - supplying information (17) correlated to the pathological condition associated with said sputum sample (11) and/or correlated to at least part of said components (C i ).
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and means of transport of active substances in the cell cytosol. In particular, the invention relates to means that make it possible to transport directly in the cytosol substances capable of interacting with protein systems, such as the family of nuclear factors of activated T-cells (NFATs) or nucleic acids localized in the cytosol. In particular, the invention relates to nanoconstructs useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, methods for their preparation, and compositions containing them.
