摘要:
A method and an apparatus for the treatment of particles or biological cells are disclosed, wherein the particles or cells are precipitated or ascended depending on the specific gravity of a liquid used, and the particles or cells are handled with the aid of a holding plate. A method and an apparatus for the fusion of particles or cells are also disclosed, wherein an electric voltage is loaded on a position between electrodes in a microchamber to fuse the particles or cells held in the microchamber.

Disclosed is a cell manipulating apparatus for conveying cells to a plurality of chambers provided in a chamber plate. The apparatus comprises a taking-up device adapted to take up cells to the respective taking up portions of a carrier plate placed in positions corresponding to those of said chambers in the chamber plate and a moving device adapted to move, relatively with respect to the chamber plate, the taking-up device to a position above the chamber plate. The taking-up portions may be effectively composed of pressure-controlled cavities or SiO.sub.2 films provided in the carrier plate.

The following invention relates to an apparatus and a method for improving the rate of cell fusion. Cells contained in chambers are prevented from adhering to the surface of the walls of a chamber in which they are contained by the pulse-like changes in fluid pressure, which causes the cells to separate from the surface of the chamber.
摘要:
A cell handling apparatus is provided with a device for moving cells which are held in chambers of the apparatus, at predetermined periods, preferably a device for generating pulse-like changes in fluid pressure of the chambers, so as to prevent the same portions of the cells from remaining in contact with the wall surfaces of the chambers over a predetermined period of time.

Disclosed is a gas valve capable of switching gases to be introduced within a vacuum chamber with high speed thereby enhancing the controllability of the composion of a semiconducting thin film growing on a substrate and shortening the time required for growth of the thin film. The gas valve comprises a bendable film between a pair of parallel plate electrodes whereby operating the film by an electrostatic force and opening and closing a port for releasing gas to a substrate mounted on the wall surface of a gas chamber and a port for exhausting an unnecessary gas to an exhaust passage. The gas valve is mounted in the vicinity of the substrate within the vacuum chamber for supplying a working gas in a minimum amount required for the film growth.

The specification discloses an angular velocity and acceleration sensor in which a tuning-fork oscillator is vibrated on the main driven vibrating axis and displacement on an axis which is parallel to the main driven vibrating axis or displacement which crosses it at right angles is detected so that at least one of angular velocity and acceleration on an axis which is parallel to the main driven vibrating axis or which crosses it at right angles may be detected. The sensor is characterized in that vibrating reeds of the tuning-fork oscillator are so formed that the spring constant of the vibrating reeds on the main driven vibrating axis is substantially equal to that on the axis which crosses the main driven vibrating axis at right angles.
