摘要:
A method of forming a plug-like member comprises placing a consumable member (4) in a bore (1) of a workpiece (2). The consumable member (4) is rotated relative to the workpiece (2) while they are urged together so as to generate frictional heat and the formation of plasticised material (5). The plasticised material (5) is allowed to solidify so as to form a plug-like member having an outer surface conforming to the inner surface of at least part of the bore (1). The plug-like member is either left in situ or, following formation of the complete plug-like member, removed from the workpiece.

The invention is a method for the isolation of molecules of interest using tubes in which at least a portion of the inner walls of the tube are coated with microbeads that are coated with a capture reagent to bind the molecule of interest. The microbeads may be glass or polymer beads. The invention is a method and apparatus for preparation of the tubes for use in the method of the invention. The invention is a method for determining ratios of guanine nucleotides bound to guanine-nucleotide binding proteins.

A hydraulic cylinder monitoring apparatus of a type having a tube with a first end and a second end and a removable first cap member for selectively closing the first end of the tube, the first cap member having a first opening therein. A second cap member is welded to the other end of said tube, the second cap having a second opening therein. A piston is sealingly disposed within the tube for movement between a first and a second position between the first and second ends of the tube. A rod is operatively attached to the piston and extends from the piston and through the first opening in the first cap member whereby the piston and rod can move together between the first and second positions. A first hydraulic fluid port extends into the tube adjacent said one end of the tube. A second hydraulic fluid port extends into the tube adjacent the second end of the tube. A supplemental cap is removably attached to the second cap member, the supplemental cap having a passageway therein. A transducer, including an elongated portion is removably fixed with respect to the supplemental cap, and a follower member is removably fixed with respect to said piston whereby when the piston moves, the follower member moves along the elongated portion of the transducer. Electrical wires are attached to and lead from the elongated portion of the transducer, the wires extending through the passageway in said supplemental cap whereby the position of the piston can be monitored with respect to the supplemental cap by using the transducer to sense the position of the follower member.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with printing user documentation are described. One example method includes receiving a print request and determining if the print request is for printing a user guide. If the request is for printing a user guide, then the method may retrieve an updated version of the user guide. The print request may be modified by adding the updated version to the print request. The user guide is printed using the updated version.

摘要:
A method of forming or reforming a composite material comprises relatively rotating a pair of members (2,3) while urging them together under pressure so as to mix or remix together the materials (1) making up the composite. The urging direction is substantially parallel with the axis of relative rotation. The composite is then extruded (7).
