Hydraulically assisted fastener (10) comprises a body (11) with a central bore (12) to engage a connector element (20) and with an annular recess (14) opening outwards to an end surface (15). Annular thrust member (17) fits into and seals the recess (14). Charging medium (50) is injected under pressure into annular chamber (30) defined by recess (14) and member (17) and moves body (11) relative to member (17) to tension element (20). Medium (50) sets in chamber (30) to maintain the tension in element (20). Element (20) may be a bolt or stud, body (11) can be a nut and member (17) can be a plan washer. Medium (50) can be a curable viscous paste, a suspended solid in a self-setting compound or a particulate solid which behaves as a fluid. Suitable materials include graphite, and lead, copper or steel balls.

A coupler (10) for an excavator, the coupler comprising first and second recesses (20, 22) for receiving the pins (24, 26) of an attachment, a latching hook (30) movable into and out of a latching state in which it closes the second pin-receiving recess, and a blocking bar (40) movable into and out of a blocking state in which a portion of the blocking bar closes the first recess. The arrangement is such that, when the blocking bar is engaged in use by an attachment pin contained within the first recess, the action of the pin on the blocking bar urges the blocking bar into its blocking state. The blocking bar is further arranged so that, in the blocking state, it lies in the path of the latching hook and that, upon movement of the latching hook out of the latching state, the latching hook engages with the blocking bar to retain it in the blocking state.

Fluidic connectors, methods, and devices for performing analyses (e.g., immunoassays) in microfluidic systems are provided. In some embodiments, a fluidic connector having a fluid path is used to connect two independent channels formed in a substrate so as to allow fluid communication between the two independent channels. One or both of the independent channels may be pre-filled with reagents (e.g., antibody solutions, washing buffers and amplification reagents), which can be used to perform the analysis. These reagents may be stored in the channels of the substrate for long periods amounts of time (e.g., 1 year) prior to use. Prior to connection of the fluid connector and the substrate, the fluid path may be filled with a sample (e.g., blood). The sample may be obtained, for example, by pricking a finger of a user until blood is drawn from the finger into the fluid path (e.g., by capillary forces). Upon connection of the fluidic connector and the channels of the substrate, the sample can pass through a reaction area within the first channel of the substrate. This process can allow components of the sample to interact with components disposed in the reaction area. Afterwards, reagents from the second channel can flow to the reaction area via the fluid path, allowing components in the reaction area to be processed (e.g., amplified to produce detectable signal). Components in the reaction area can then be determined using various methods of detection.

The invention relates to a device and to a method wherein access to a patient, in particular access to vessels, can be monitored during extracorporeal blood treatment during which a loop (27) is formed in the arterial and/or venous line (6, 7). Inventive means (26) for fixing a section of the line in the form of a loop are provided. When the line is stressed under tension, the loop contracts until the line finally kinks. The modification of the diameter of the line and finally the formation of a kink in the line leads to a rise of pressure in the line, which is monitored by a pressure monitoring device. If the pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the aspirating cannula is in danger of slipping out of the vessel access, has partially or has completely slipped out thus allowing the threshold value to be determined for prealarms or alarms.

A friction coupling (1, 1') for locking a shaft (20) relative to a hub (21) comprises: a radially deformable inner sleeve (2), a radially deformable outer sleeve (3), an annular piston (12), which is axially movable relative to the inner sleeve (2) and the outer sleeve (3), the annular piston (12) having a conical surface (13; 14), which cooperates with the inner sleeve and/or the outer sleeve and which is arranged to deform the inner sleeve (2) and/or the outer sleeve (3) when the annular piston (12) is moved relative to the inner sleeve (2) and the outer sleeve (3) , so as to provide said locking. The friction coupling (1) further comprises: actuating means (5, 18) arranged to produce a movement of the annular piston (12) for locking the friction coupling (1), and deactuating means (4) arranged to produce a movement of the annular piston (12) for unlocking the friction coupling (1) . The actuating means (5, 18) and the deactuating means (4) are located, seen in the axial direction, on the same side of the annular piston (12).
摘要:
A coupling for a high pressure fluid pump assembly is shown and described. The plunger (14) has a rounded convex engagement surface. A second engagement portion of the extension rod (28) has a substantially flat second engagement surface engaging the first engagement surface of the plunger (14). The interface between the first and second engagement surfaces aligns motion of the plunger along the first axis with motion of the extension rod along the second axis, reducing their tendency to bend and to move laterally relative to their respective longitudinal axis.

摘要:
The invention relates to a pressure mediator comprising a base body (1) having a membrane bed (11), wherein said base body (1) has a first material with a first thermal expansion coefficient, in addition to a separating membrane (2) having a second material with a second thermal expansion coefficient that is smaller than the first thermal expansion coefficient, wherein the separating membrane (2) is fixed to the base body (1) by its edge area in such a way that the membrane bed (11) is covered by the separating membrane (2), wherein said separating membrane (2) also has a relief (21) that was formed by embossing against the membrane bed after the separating membrane was fixed to the base body. According to the invention, embossing of the membrane relief was carried out at a temperature below critical temperature of less than approximately 10° C. This makes it possible to obtain a constant membrane characteristic line at low temperatures.
