The utility model relates to a combination device for a solar water heating bag, which is matched with a solar water heating bag. The utility model is composed of an upper cover, a lower cover, a water inlet nozzle, and a water return nozzle, wherein, the upper opening of the lower cover and the lower opening of the upper cover are connected together, the water inlet nozzle is sheathed on the midd...

Different axle rotation speeds cause the exit of fluid from a pump, which is modulated by passing it through a nozzle opening in a housing. A piston can be moved in and out of this opening in an axial direction, the cooperating glide surfaces of the piston and opening combining to form a seal between the pressurised and non-pressurised sides of the construction. At least one channel provided insid...

A buoyant article which can be used for floatation and/or insulation comprising a fibrous structure of a multiplicity of resilient, shape reforming, elongatable, nonlinear carbonaceous fibers and a coating for said carbonaceous fibers comprising a water insoluble, hydrophobic, cured or set material.

PURPOSE:To prevent the destruction of the subject device and to efficiently supply a microwave by equipping the device with a control means to control the oscillation output of a microwave oscillating means according to whether reflectivity obtained by a reflectivity calculating means is more than a prescribed value or not. CONSTITUTION:For a control part 7, the reflectivity is compared with two p...

A method for absolute counting of rare cells (i.e., < 5 %) in a sample of cells is described. The method utilizes flow cytometry and a reagent composition comprising fluorescent beads, one or more fluorescent markers that differentially react with cell populations in the sample and one or more fluorescent markers that selectively react with the rare cells. The method has particular utility in coun...
