Quick-change absorption column
Column has end caps held in place by springs; prefilled packs of absorbent can be exchanged quickly. Both ends of metal or plastic body tube of size which can hold adequate amount of absorbent are machined to provide seat for perforated plate and groove for its spring retainer ring
Liquid cooled brassiere and method of diagnosing malignant tumors therewith
A device for enhancing the detection of malignant tissue in the breasts of a woman was described. A brassiere-like garment which is fitted with a pair of liquid-perfused cooling panels which completely and compliantly cover the breasts and upper torso was studied. The garment is connected by plastic tubing to a liquid cooling system comprising a fluid pump, a solenoid control valve for controlling the flow of fluid to either the cooling unit or the heating unit, a fluid reservoir, a temperature sensor in the reservoir, and a restrictor valve to control the pressure in the garment inlet cooling line
FLIC Overlap Fermions
The action of the overlap-Dirac operator on a vector is typically implemented
indirectly through a multi-shift conjugate gradient solver. The compute-time
required depends upon the condition number, , of the matrix that is
used as the overlap kernel. While the Wilson action is typically used as the
overlap kernel, the FLIC (Fat Link Irrelevant Clover) action has an improved
condition number and provides up to a factor of two speedup in evaluating the
overlap action. We summarize recent progress on the use of FLIC overlap
fermions.Comment: Lattice2002(chiral
An inductively powered telemetry system for temperature, EKG, and activity monitoring
An implant telemetry system for the simultaneous monitoring of temperature, activity, and EKG from small animals, such as rats, was designed with the feature that instead of a battery the system is energized by an inductive field. A 250 kHz resonant coil surrounds the cage (30 x 30 x 20 cm) and provides the approximately 100 microns of power required to operate the implant transmitter while allowing the animal unrestrained movement in the cage. The implant can also be battery operated if desired. RF transmission is in the 8-10 MHz band, which allows the use of a simple, essentially single IC chip, receiver
