摘要:
Fibers and fibrous materials are disclosed that comprise a functional fiber and a binder fiber. The functional fiber can be a continuous or a staple fiber, while the binder fiber is a staple bicomponent. Uses of the fibers and fibrous materials are also disclosed.

Porous products (10) of thermoplastic polymers and the like are formed by sintering pellets, especially micropellets (16) and/or pellets made by rapid water quenched pelletizing of the polymers, such as by underwater pelletizing or water ring pelletizing. The pellets are of a uniform size and shape, each having approximately equal dimensions along three mutually perpendicular axis, thereby producing porous products (10) having smooth surfaces, narrow pore size distributions, greater strength and other improved characteristics. The porous products (10) include antiperspirant and deodorant applicator heads, waste water treatment bubblers and selective filters.

In a pipette device, a suction device applies suction to a pipette tip to draw liquid into the pipette tip. A porous plastic plug is mounted in the pipette tip to prevent contamination of the suction device by the liquid sample. The median pore size in the porous plastic plug ranges from 3 microns to an upper limit which varies with the hydrophobicity of the material of the plug.

In a serum separator, a sampling tube (13) fits inside of a test tube (11). The sampling tube is provided with an elastomeric piston head (15, 25) at the lower end thereof having an annular lip (21) to engage and form a seal with the inner sidewalls of the test tube. The upper side of the lip is provided with irregularities (23) to break the seal between the lip and the test tube wall upon removal of the sampling tube from the test tube. A porous plastic filter body (17) is mounted in a cavity (20) in the piston head (15, 25). The piston head defines a one-way valve in the form of a ball chamber (27) containing a ball check. When the sampling tube (13) is pushed into the test tube (11) with a blood sample in the test tube, serum will pass through the filter body (17) and valve into the interior of the sampling tube. The valve is constructed so that the serum cannot squirt toward the top of the sampling tube. When the sampling tube has been inserted, the valve will close. When the sampling tube is withdrawn, the reduced pressure in the bottom of the test tube will cause the ball (29) to wedge in sealing engagement in the closed position to retain the serum sample in the sampling tube and isolate it from the residue in the bottom of the test tube.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a filter (Fig. 2), and its use in conjunction with a tubular conduit (Fig. 3). The filter is specifically constructed to fit within a conduit in such a manner that enables it to move in response to flow of liquid under certain condition.

In a diagnostic apparatus system, a one piece porous substrate (31) is provided in a container (33). The substrate serves both to extract an antigen in or on a top layer (36) thereof with the remainder of the substrate serving as a reservoir. The pores in the top surface (38) of the substrate are microscopic for entrapment of microspheres carrying antibodies. A target antigen in a test sample attaches to the antibodies when the test sample is poured through the top layer. The pores in all but the top layer of the substrate have a much greater pore size to comprise the reservoir portion of the substrate.
