Abstract:
Device (30) for spraying a dye penetration inspection product into an internal cavity (36) of a turbomachine component (32), comprising component support means (40), a spray line (80) for spraying the dye penetration inspection product into the internal cavity, a line (100) for sucking up and removing the sprayed dye penetration inspection product, and means (54) for tilting at least part of the support means from a substantially horizontal position into an inclined position in which the component is inclined so that the dye penetration inspection product sprayed into the cavity flows under gravity to a zone (106) from which it is sucked up.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating a microstructure to generate surface plasmon waves comprises steps of: (S1) preparing a substrate (10), and (S2) using a carrier material (22) to carry a plurality of metallic nanoparticles (21) and letting the metallic nanoparticles (21) undertake self-assembly to form a microstructure on the substrate (10), wherein the metallic nanoparticles (21) are separated from each other or partially agglomerated to allow the microstructure to be formed with a discontinuous surface. The present invention fabricates the microstructure having the discontinuous surface by a self-assembly method to generate the surface plasmon waves, thus exempts from using the expensive chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology and is able to reduce the time and cost of fabrication. The present invention also breaks the structural limitation on generation of surface plasmon waves to enhance the effect of generating the surface plasmon waves.

Zumindest ein erstes freies Ende (11) jeder Kapillare (1) steht über den Träger (20) derart hervor, dass die freien Enden der Kapillaren (1) gleichzeitig in Kavitäten einer Mikrotiterplatte eingeführt werden können.
Abstract:
A fluid handling module is configured for removable engagement with a reusable main fluid handling instrument. The module includes a module housing (821) and a first fluid passageway (111) extending from the module housing. The first fluid passageway has a patient end (120) remote from the housing. The first fluid passageway is configured to provide fluid communication with a bodily fluid in a patient. A fluid component separator (332) is in fluid communication with the first fluid passageway. The fluid component separator is configured to separate at least one component from a portion of the bodily fluid drawn from the patient. A spectroscopic sample cell (903,2464) is configured to hold at least a portion of the first component.
Abstract:
The invention encompasses analyzers and analyzer systems that include a single molecule analyzer, methods of using the analyzer and analyzer systems to analyze samples, either for single molecules or for molecular complexes. The single molecule uses electromagnetic radiation that is translated through the sample to detect the presence or absence of a single molecule. The single molecule analyzer provided herein is useful for diagnostics because the analyzer detects single molecules with zero carryover between samples.
Abstract:
Dispositif d'analyse LIBS comprend une source de rayonnement laser et une tête de mesure avec des moyens optiques d'illumination aptes à diriger au moins deux faisceaux laser séparés vers une cible à analyser, de sorte à former au moins deux points d'analyse séparés spatialement sur la cible, selon un motif prédéfini; et des moyens optiques de collecte de la lumière émise par interaction du rayonnement laser incident avec la cible, lesdits moyens optiques de collecte ayant un champ de vision dans lequel se trouvent lesdits au moins deux points de mesure. Un ou des spectromètres est (sont) utilisé(s), pour analyser la lumière transmise par les moyens optiques de collecte et générer des données spectrales LIBS. Des câbles de transmission à fibres optiques transmettent le rayonnement laser de la source à la tête de mesure, et le rayonnement collecté par les moyens optiques de collecte vers le(s) spectromètre(s).
Abstract:
Metrology targets, design files, and design and production methods thereof are provided. The targets comprise two or more parallel periodic structures at respective layers, wherein a predetermined offset is introduced between the periodic structures, for example, opposite offsets at different parts of a target. Quality metrics are designed to estimate the unintentional overlay from measurements of a same metrology parameter by two or more alternative measurement algorithms. Target parameters are configured to enable both imaging and scatterometry measurements and enhance the metrology measurements by the use of both methods on the same targets. Imaging and scatterometry target parts may share elements or have common element dimensions. Imaging and scatterometry target parts may be combined into a single target area or may be integrated into a hybrid target using a specified geometric arrangement.
Abstract:
Multi-layered targets, design files and design and production methods thereof are provided. The multi-layered targets comprise process layers arranged to have parallel segmentation features at specified regions, and target layer comprising target elements which are perpendicular to the parallel segmentation features of the process layers at the specified regions.
Abstract:
An improved optical flow cell adapted for use in a flow cytometer for differentiating formed bodies (e.g., blood cells) in liquid suspensions. Preferably manufactured by assembling, aligning, and optically joining at least two elements made from transparent material, the improved flow cell has a seamless internal flow channel of preferably non-circular cross-section in a cylindrical first element through which prepared samples can be metered and an independent second element having an external envelope suited to acquisition of optical parameters from formed bodies in such suspensions, the second element being conforming and alignable to the first element so that non-axisymmetric refractive effects on optical characterizing parameters of formed bodies passing through the flow channel in the first element may be minimized before the two elements are optically joined and fixed in working spatial relationship.
