Rotary motion from a drive motor (12) is coupled by a coupling means (8) to a driven member (18) extending from a centrifuge bowl (40) and extending through an opening in an enclosure (20). The coupling means (8) comprises a non-rotational member which translates, or orbits, about the bowl axis (A). A flexible boot (16), extending from the coupling means (8), seals the opening in the enclosure (20...

The invention relates to a blood centrifugation cell, comprising an outer rotatable container (1) delimiting a portion of space in which a body is provided which is rigidly connected therewith and is formed by two revolution walls (2,3) connected at the ends, a stationary joint (10) being provided at the top of the container (1) and comprising two conduits (11,12) which are coaxial to the joint, t...

The invention relates to a continuous blood centrifugation cell, comprising an outer rotating container (1) which accomodates a body, rigidly connected therewith and coaxial thereto and formed by two walls (2,3) joined at the ends, the outer container (1) carrying at its top portion a stationary joint (9) comprising conduits (10,11,12) which are coaxial to the stationary joint (9), the outer condu...

In the case of a supercharged combustion engine (1), in addition to an exhaust turbocharger comprising compressor (2) and supercharger turbine (3) a further supercharger turbine (3') is provided, the latter being identical to or of a type smaller than the former. The supercharger turbine (3') is integrated with a transmission (8) connected on the input side of the combustion engine (1) and deliver...

PURPOSE:To rapidly and easily use a plurality of clips one at a time in succession and to alleviate the pain of a patient, by providing an operating member having a plurality of the clips mounted therein to advance and retract each of the clips and connecting the clips and the operation member by a low m.p. substance. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of clips 3 are arranged in a before-and-behind directio...

PURPOSE:To easily and exactly locate and follow a calculus before medical treatment over a wide observation range and efficiently perform medical treatment, by extracting the part having a definite echo intensity in the ultrasonic tomographic image obtained at every definite position to detect the coordinates thereof and moving the focal position of a strong shock wave on the basis of the coordina...

An automatic running work vehicle in which both front wheels and rear wheels can be steered and which is provided with a follower sensor for detecting the boundary between an unworked area and a worked area and an orientation sensor for detecting the running direction so as to run automatically along the boundary. Based on the result of detection of the boundary by the follower sensor and on the r...

Methods and apparatus utilizing a shaped explosive charge assembly in a process for perforating earth formations from a well bore whereby the maximum depth of the mean depth of a perforation penetration may be determined. The charge assembly, shaped to produce a perforating jet on detonation, is provided with a gamma ray emitting substance which is deposited at a specific locus in the path of the ...

This invention is a fluidized bed combustion chamber which consists of an intermediate partition (2) which divides the chamber into an upper combustion space (1a) and a lower plenum (1b) which provides a fuel injector into the upper space. The intermediate partition is composed of rested modules (7,7',7"), each of which is of polygonal shape and has a centrally positioned fuel supply (8,8',8"). ...

A partially lined disc brake (1) has a brake frame (3) or brake saddle, a brake shoe (5) consisting of carrier plate (6) and friction lining (7), and an operating piston (4) for the brake shoe. Between the operating piston and brake shoe there is arranged a damping element (10) with at least one flexible cushioning layer in layered construction with at least one metal sheet. The damping element is...

Acrylic-type normally tacky and pressure-sensitive adhesives are firmly bonded to polyolefn substrates that have been primed by coating with a monomer composition and subjecting the coated substrate to actinic radiation to effect graft-polymerization.
