A multiple blade accessory device for a food processor is provided. The accessory has a hollow hub that is adapted to carry a pair of lower blades and a pair of upper blades. The lower blades and the upper blades being similar, each formed from a single blank. Each blank is formed to present two cutting edges, diametrically opposed. The upper blade pair is moulded into a separate sleeve. The hub is adapted to be assembled with the sleeve.

The present invention provides a sample breaking-up instrument and a method thereof, in which a pressing member is pressed by a centrifugal force against a sample within a cylindrical body provided with a filter member to thereby break-up the sample safely and efficiently. Provided is an instrument for breaking-up a sample, comprising: a cylindrical body having a through hole opening in both ends thereof; a filter member installed in one end of said cylindrical body within said through hole; and a pressing member to be operatively inserted into said hole of said cylindrical body from the other end thereof so as to be slidable therethrough in a sealed manner, wherein a force is exerted on said pressing member so that said pressing member presses said sample placed between said pressing member and said filter member against said filter member and thereby said sample is forced to pass through said filter member and is thus broken-up.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller (1), and a game machine (2) to which the controller (1) is connected, and from at least one of a plurality of switches provided on the controller (1), a digital output or an analog output is obtained in accordance with an operating state of the switches thereof. A CPU of the game machine (2) carries out a first processing operation of game information in response to the analog output, and also carries out a second processing operation associated with the first processing operation in response to the digital output.
摘要:
A method of coating implantable open lattice metallic stent prosthesis is disclosed which includes sequentially applying a plurality of relatively thin outer layers of a coating composition comprising a solvent mixture of uncured polymeric silicone material and crosslinker and finely divided biologically active species, possibly of controlled average particle size, to form a coating on each stent surface. The coatings are cured in situ and the coated, cured prostheses are sterilized in a step that includes preferred pretreatment with argon gas plasma and exposure to gamma radiation electron beam, ethylene oxide, steam.

A probe (22) for an atomic force microscope is adapted such that, as a sample (14) is scanned, it experiences a biasing force Fdirect urging the probe towards the sample. This improves probe tracking of the sample surface and faster scans are possible. This is achieved by either including a biasing element (24, 50), which is responsive to an externally applied force, on the probe (22) and / or reducing the quality factor of a supporting beam. The biasing element may, for example, be a magnet (24) or an electrically-conducting element (50). The quality factor may be reduced by coating the beam with a mechanical-energy dissipating material.

A seal cup and method is disclosed that can be used on a wellbore tool. The seal cup includes an external circumferential seal land adjacent the cup lip and an outer surface capable of permitting drainage away from the seal land of fluids, which may seep past the seal land. This acts against pressure invasion in the interfacial contacting region between the seal cup and the structure, for example, a wellbore liner against which it is sealed.
摘要:
An anchoring device for tool is disclosed that can be positioned downhole and used in casing. The anchoring device can have an architecture that supports installation by running downhole and into engagement with a recess formed in the casing. The anchoring device can support the use of weak materials such as plastic.

A load-indicating fastener makes use of a probe attachment which is locatable within a bore hole (20) made in the fastener. The attachment includes a sensor (52) with sensing surface (58) located at one end and can be secured to the fastener at or near its opposite end. When secured, an air gap (28) is left between the sensing surface (58) and an internal surface (22) of the bore hole. This arrangement of surfaces (22, 58) with air gap (28) effectively defines a capacitor which is sealed within the fastener. When the fastener is loaded, an elastic displacement occurs between the two surfaces (22, 58), which changes the capacitance of the capacitor. Electric cabling (34) is provided for supply and extraction of signals that enable measurement of a parameter indicative of capacitive reactance across this capacitor. This measurement provides an indication of strain experienced by the fastener.
摘要:
A scanning near-field optical microscope detects the evanescent field formed about an illuminated sample (14) via an interaction between the field and a local probe (20). The probe (20) is scanned across the sample surface in order to collect a complete image as a succession of scan lines. In the microscope of this invention, image collection is more rapidly performed by translating the probe (20) whilst it is oscillated at or near its resonance frequency. In this way a series of scan lines covering an area of the sample surface are rapidly collected, the length of each scan line being determined by oscillation amplitude.
