A device is provided for use in a centrifuge to separate or isolate material (such as pelleted cells, particulates, aggregates, compounds, blood components, and the like) from the liquid in which they are suspended while limiting or preventing loss of any of the resulting separated or pelleted material during further manipulations. The device can be inserted into a standard centrifugation bucket i...

In an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas turbocharger having an exhaust gas turbine arranged in an engine exhaust pipe upstream of a catalytic converter and a bypass line branching off the exhaust pipe upstream of the exhaust gas turbine and rejoining the exhaust pipe between the exhaust gas turbine and the catalytic converter, a bypass valve is provided which is so controlled that, af...

An automated vehicle for performing automated driving control while successively detecting magnetic fluxes caused by magnetic nails embedded in a cruising lane at predetermined intervals comprises a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic fluxes caused by the magnetic nails, and sensor moving means for vertically moving the magnetic sensor in response to a change in a road clearance of the vehi...

A utensil for cracking the shells of crabs, lobsters, and other shellfish. A pair of handles are pivotally connected, each handle having a jaw with a tapered cutting edge for cracking the shells without severing the meat which the shells contain. The handles are bent in such a way as to prevent complete closure of the jaws, so that the shell is cracked while leaving the meat of the shellfish intac...

Currently microfiltration devices use hydrophillic membranes to sterilize liquids. Air locks may develop on the upstream side of the filter membrane within these apparatus. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for removing an air lock from the upstream side of a microfilter in a device for dispensing a sterile liquid from a storage container by forcing the liquid through a microfi...
