    摘要: A vessel holds a liquid content for exposure to prescribed light energy. The vessel has a region transparent to the prescribed light energy. The liquid content of the vessel includes a solution comprising a material undergoing reduction oxidation as a result of exposure to the prescribed light energy, and a reducing agent for the photoactive material. A device measures optical absorbance of the vessel and the liquid content. The device operates in a first instance to measure a first optical absorbance value before exposing the vessel and the liquid content to the prescribed light energy. The device also operates in a second instance to measure a second optical absorbance value after exposing the vessel and the liquid content to the prescribed light energy, to obtain a difference between the first and second optical absorbance values. The difference comprises an illumination characteristic for the vessel with respect to the prescribed light energy.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for testing a blood unit for viral contamination without rendering the blood unit unusable for therapeutic applications. The method comprises the steps of: removing and collecting from a blood unit a majority of the leukocytes present therein; and using the collected leukocytes to test the blood unit for viral contamination. The present invention also provides a method for validating viral inactivation processes.

    摘要: The centrifugation vessel includes an outer wall containing an interior space. A dam defines a barrier which divides the interior space into at least two regions including a catch basin defining a higher gee region and a reservoir defining a lower gee region. These regions are joined together over the dam. The dam includes a face which is preferably tapered to enable optimization of speed of separation of a sample placed within the vessel. The vessel is usable in a biological sample processing method by having the higher gee region of the vessel configured to have an elongate form and the volume optimized for collection of a higher density fraction of the sample. Supply and withdrawal tubes extend into the regions for reliable extraction and separate collection of differing density fractions after separation by centrifugation. A medium density fluid is used within the vessel to further isolate constituents of differing densities.

    摘要: A radial torque limiter, for example, for a geared rotary actuator (1, 1') including input member (S, 8) coupled to an output member (3 or 3') driving a sun gear (4) and planet gears (5) through axially projecting tabs (3g). Roller elements (2) are arranged at ramp sections (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d) formed at the input member (S, 8) and output member (3 or 3') for radially outwardly displacing the beam spring portions of the output member (3 or 3') to radially apply braking force between an external surface (14) of the beam springs and an internal surface (13) of a grounded reaction member (12) so as to brake the input member (S, 8) and output member (3 or 3') upon an occurrence of an excess transmitted torque.
