摘要:
Embodiments of the invention include a system for guiding an instrument. The system may include a frame and a bearing assembly supported by the frame. The bearing assembly may include an outer tubular member supported by the frame and including a proximal end and a distal end. The bearing assembly may also include a bearing at least partially disposed within at least one of the proximal end and the distal end of the outer tubular member. The channel may extend through the outer tubular member and the bearing.

There is provided herein a performance-enhancing composition comprising inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer selected from the group consisting of polysiloxane, polysilsesquioxane, and mixtures thereof. This composition, when applied to a thin-film transistor, such as a bottom-gate thin-film transistor, as an overcoat or top layer, improves the carrier mobility and current on/off ratio of the thin film transistor. Also provided is the thin-film transistor produced utilizing this process and/or composition.
摘要:
A power distribution system comprising a stack of bus bars having through-hole openings arranged in end portions of each of the bars such that the stack of the bars are connectable to bars of an adjacent stack. One or more connectors pass through the holes in one of the end portions of the bars of the stack. The one or more connectors also pass through holes in one of the end portions of the bars of the adjacent stack. One of the end portions of the bars of the stacks are interleaved with one of the end portions of the bars of the adjacent stack.

摘要:
A system for spatially selective, fixed-optics fluorescence detection in a multichannel polymeric microfluidic device, and a method for performing spatially selective, fixed-optics fluorescence detection.
摘要:
A support assembly is disclosed generally including a buckle component or components and a positioning member of flexible material that is arranged and configured to support the buckle component in a predetermined elevated position or predetermined positions for multiple components while also allowing for resilient shifting thereof. In the preferred form, the flexible material is belt webbing that has a plurality of fold portions folded and sewn together in a specific manner. Sew patterns are disclosed as well as methods and fixtures for forming the belt webbing positioning member.
摘要:
A process for the regeneration of loaded ion-exchange resin comprising (a) providing loaded resin for regeneration; (b) providing first stage and third stage regenerant suitable for regenerating loaded resin; (c) providing a plurality of regeneration vessels; (d) filling a regeneration vessel with a desired amount of the loaded resin before filling another regeneration vessel; (e) once a regeneration vessel has been filled, contacting the loaded resin within the vessel with first stage regenerant in a plug flow to provide a first stage regenerated resin; (f) contacting the first stage regenerated resin with third stage regenerant in a plug flow to provide regenerated resin and (g) removing and collecting third stage regenerant from a vessel containing regenerated resin and adding the collected regenerant to the first stage regenerant.
摘要:
A fixed-optics system for detecting fluorescence light emitted from one or more spatially selected volumes (S), e.g., in one or more microfluidic channels, comprises a detection optical fiber (60) corresponding to each selected volume and a ball lens (110) adjacent to one end of each optical fiber, wherein the ball lens has a diameter (D) larger than the diameter of the optical fiber and a distance (d1) between the ball lens and the optical fiber is in a range of 3 to 40 times the diameter of the optical fiber, so that due to a quasi-focusing configuration light emitted from the spatially selected volume and received by the ball lens converges onto the end (60a) of the optical fiber.
摘要:
A clothing packing apparatus for folding a clothing article, such as a suit, comprising a spacing material to separate parts of the folded clothing article comprises a parts that partial overlay a fold line in the aligned sleeves and the body of an article of clothing; a slit for folding the sleeves independently; gripping surfaces to engage the clothing article; rounded/tapered edges to eliminate pressure compressions; pre-formed bands to improve folding performance; and a casing for storage and transit. The spacing material is preferably formed of foam capable of forming a continuous U-shaped curve along the fold lines and an anti-collapsible structure when folded with the clothing article.
