A mixing valve (100) receives fluid from a first source and fluid from a second source and outputs a mixture of the fluids. The mixing valve (100) includes a valve body (112) including a first fluid inlet (124a), a first fluid chamber (124b), a second fluid inlet (126a), a second fluid chamber (126b) and a fluid outlet (128). The mixing valve (100) further comprises a fluid flow regulator (116) mounted within the housing (112), wherein a lower surface (A) of the fluid flow regulator (116) is disposed within the first fluid chamber (124b) and an upper surface (B) of the fluid flow regulator (116) is disposed within the second fluid chamber (126b). The fluid flow regulator (116) is mounted within the valve body (112) in such a way as to permit movement of the fluid flow regulator (116) along a longitudinal axis of the valve body (112). The fluid flow regulator (116) includes a central hub (200) which extends below the lower surface (220) into the mixing chamber (160). A temperature-sensing device (114) is mounted to the central hub (200) of the fluid flow regulator (116) and is constructed and arranged for sensing a temperature of fluid which flows from the mixing chamber (160) to the outlet (128).
摘要:
Apparatus for analysing a fluid including means for generating an inhomogeneous magnetic field (1, 2, 4, 5) in a space and means for measuring the strength of the field (6, 8) arranged to enable a change in the strength of the field to be measured when a sample of fluid to be analysed is introduced into the space. The apparatus may be used to analyse any fluid but is specially suited to the analysis of body fluids, particularly blood. The presence of materials in a fluid being analysed may be determined by comparing a measured change in magnetic field strength with stored information. The means for measuring the strength of the field is preferably operative to measure the strength of the field over a linear distance. The means for measuring the strength of the field may comprise a linear array of magnetic field detectors, such as Hall effects devices.

Nasal dilators and strips, methods of their manufacture, and methods for improving the breathing of individuals are provided. The strips and dilators include an elongated substrate, with or without a dilating component or portion, having top and bottom surfaces and a pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on the bottom surface. The dilator (100) is designed to provide a gentle expanding force to the nasal wall tissue when the dilator (100) is adhesively attached to the nose. This invention further includes a cosmetic fragrance, an aromatic medication and/or transdermal medication disposed on the strips or dilators. In order to improve the shelf-life and in-use olfactory effectiveness of such products, fragrance delivery mechanisms are used. Separation of volatile oils and adhesives are also provided to minimize adhesive residue.
摘要:
Desiccated bulk of liquid material, which has completed its freezing and desiccation in a freeze-drying apparatus, is subjected to pulverization within the machine body of a freeze-drying apparatus. According to the present invention, liquid material is caused to freeze as a molded frozen body (M) in the form of a cylinder following the shape of the inner wall surface of the tube (1); then, the water content in the material of the molded frozen body (M) is sublimated under the vacuum condition, to cause it to dry in a freeze-drying apparatus (W), wherein a discharge port (d) is defined at the lower end side of the tube (1), and jet nozzles (N) are disposed, in the inner wall surface of the tube, for ejecting compressed air or gas toward the inner bore or space of the tube, thereby crushing and pulverizing the molded frozen body (M) of liquid material as freeze-dried by freezing the liquid material within the tube (1), by jet current ejected from the jet nozzles (N).
摘要:
An RFID system and method for communicating between a host computer, one or more interrogators connected to the host computer (100), and a large body of transponders (150) distributed within an area covered by the interrogators (190). Each transponder originally has a common identification code, and upon initialization by the host computer internally generates a unique identification code based upon an internally generated random number. The host, through the interrogators, reads each of the identification codes associated with each transponder by iteratively transmitting a read identification code command along with a controlled variable. Each transponder compares the received controlled variable to an internally generated random number, and selectively transmits its identification code based upon the outcome of this comparison. After the completion of each read identification code iteration, the host adjusts the controlled variable based upon the responses received in the previous iteration. Preferably, communications between the interrogators and the transponders are DSSS signals in TDMA format, and the transponders use the random number generator to assign a time slot for transmission of their response. Each interrogator includes an antenna system utilizing a switch matrix to connect multiple antennas having different polarizations, which ensures that all transponders within the range of the interrogator receive the signals from the interrogator. In a further aspect, the interrogators are arranged in groups, each group in nearest neighbor format, to reduce the time for reading the transponders and the emissions generated when more than one interrogator is active at the same time.

A grab bucket having a grab (1) formed of shells (2) opposed to each other, a lower frame (3) for pivotably supporting the shells, an upper frame (5) placed above the lower frame and connected with the shells through the suspending arms (4), an intermediate movable frame (7) placed between the upper and lower frames and connected with the lower frame through a hydraulic cylinder (6) with a piston (6b), and a wire rope (8) for suspending and closing the grab is provided with a by-pass passage (25) for connecting the upper end portion of the hydraulic cylinder with the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder. Through the by-pass passage, an oil in an upper chamber defined above the piston (6b) flows into a lower chamber defined below the piston, thereby to accelerate the movement of the piston in the hydraulic cylinder. Thus, the scrap or other objective materials grabbed by the grab bucket of the invention can be efficiently thrown off by vibration and the action of inertia of the objective materials only by fully opening the grab.
