Abstract: The present invention is related to the dentistry field. More precisely, the present invention relates to a system for insertion into the root canal for obtaining a root fastening element to support crowns comprising a sleeve of flexible and moldable material, non-adherent to the walls of the root canal, wherein the sleeve comprises a root section and a crown section which are filled with fibers in different arrangements. In addition, the present invention is related to a method for obtaining a fastening element using the system and root fastening element to support crowns.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a bioceramic composition for temporary intracanal medication ready for use which promotes the constant, controlled and balanced release of metal ions, hydroxyl (OH?) and metal-salicylate complexes, being able of providing bioactive, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. The present invention further provides methods for preventing or controlling endodontic infection and for promoting tissue regeneration and repair by using said bioceramic composition.

Abstract: A process and system for reducing the viscosity of heavy and extra heavy crude oils, and more particularly to a process for reducing the viscosity of heavy and extra heavy crude oils by means of total or partial oil deasphalting using a precipitating agent in order to obtain an upgraded crude oil of lower viscosity that can be pumped without the use of diluents. The upgrading also includes a reduction in metals and sulfur associated with asphaltene removal. The process consists of relatively simple equipment such as static mixers and stirred tanks and operation temperature is low and pressure is moderate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a plasma source in the form of plasma generator (13) which utilizes an antenna (11) and an RF source (12). The generated plasma flows into a chamber (14) and ions are accelerated out of the chamber (14) by grid (15). A body 16 is located in the volume for creating local losses and thereby reducing local plasma density.

Abstract: A thermal printer including a first chassis, a second chassis, a cutting mechanism and a thermal printing mechanism. The first chassis has a movable blade of the cutting mechanism, a print head of the thermal printing mechanism, and an automatic activation mechanism for moving the movable blade from a platen roller of the thermal printing mechanism. A fixed blade of the cutting mechanism and the platen roller are positioned on the second chassis. The print head is horizontally placed allowing paper to be directed toward a frontal part of the printer, and the platen roller is placed right above the print head. The cutting mechanism is positioned vertically with a slight inclination so that movement of the movable blade is in a direction perpendicular to a line formed between a rotation axis of a cover of the printer and a contract point between the movable blade and the fixed blade.

Abstract: THERMAL PRINTER comprised by two chassis, first chassis (3) having movable blade (11) from cutting mechanism (7), thermal head (12) from thermal printing mechanism (9), automatic activation mechanism from movable blade and tracking mechanism from platen roller (8), and second chassis (4) wherein fixed blade of the cutting mechanism, and platen roller of the thermal printing mechanism are positioned. Thermal head is horizontally placed allowing paper direction to frontal part from printer, and platen roller is placed right above thermal head. On frontal part, there is a vertical cutting mechanism with slightly inclination so that mobile blade movement direction in perpendicular to line formed between cover rotation axis and the contract point between both blades.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a measure acquisition system (300) comprising a measure acquisition assembly (200), which comprises a casing (30) being enclosed by a cover (40), an electronic card (50) coupled to said cover (40), a power supply (20) supplying power to said electronic card (50), and a transducer (10) connected to said electronic card (50); a receiver means (11) that communicates with the measure acquisition assembly (200) by means of radiofrequency, and alternatively an antenna (21), which receives information from the receiver means (11) and transfers the same to a base station (31).

Abstract: A flow cytometer. In one embodiment, the flow cytometer has a microfluidic structure defining a channel with a periodically modulated path for transporting a stream of fluid with magnetic particles along the modulated path, and a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensor positioned over the microfluidic structure to define a detecting zone in the microfluidic structure for detecting magnetic signatures of a magnetic particle passing along the periodically modulated path through the detecting zone, where in use the stream of fluid with magnetic particles is regulated such that each magnetic particle passes singly along the periodically modulated path through the detecting zone.
