  • Patent number: 11877982
    Abstract: A device (1) and method for media filtration with a preparation container (2). A chamber (5) containing a dissolvable medium (29) is situated between the container inflow and outflow, and has a filter (22). A mixing arm (6, 7), connected to the inflow, protrudes into the medium in the chamber with at least one mixing nozzle (19, 20), disposed at the free end (17, 18) of the mixing arm for generating a directed jet of solvent. The preparation container has bottom (10) and top (8) parts bracketing the chamber.

  • Patent number: 9493334
    Abstract: A container has an outflow arranged in the vicinity of the bottom and a vortex breaker mounted upstream from the outflow for preventing foaming. The vortex breaker has a vertical main wall and two vertical side wings oriented away from one another to define a T-shape. The main wall merges into a fixing arm. A method also is provided for producing the vortex breaker. The method includes a) cutting a flat plate to define a main wall, two side wings, and a fixing arm connected to the main wall; and b) folding out the side wings in opposing directions in each case into a final position arranged transverse to the main wall. The vortex breaker is applicable in chemistry, biotechnology, and filtration technology.

  • Publication number: 20110145168
    Abstract: An apparatus for estimating a yield of a financial product, as well as to a corresponding method and a corresponding computer program product. The present disclosure can be loosely summarized, in one aspect, as teaching a method of pricing a financial product under a number of potential future scenarios wherein, instead of carrying out a separate (and perhaps nested) Monte Carlo simulation for each scenario under consideration, a smoothing function is generated from the results of a proportionately small number of representative (nested) simulations and the pricing is estimated at each scenario using the smoothing function. Each Monte Carlo simulation simulates the yield of the financial product under the conditions of the specific scenario. Accordingly, the smoothing function represents the (simulation) yield of the financial product as a function of the scenario parameters.
