Abstract: A venous reservoir in an extracorporeal blood circuit, comprising a rigid outer enclosure for a filtering mass in the form of a hollow cylinder, provided with an upper lid which comprises couplings for the inflow of blood with the portion of space delimited by the filtering mass and with a connector at the bottom, the reservoir further comprising a diaphragm which is arranged below the upper lid and is adapted to receive the blood that enters through the couplings provided in the peripheral region of the lid, at the axis of a central hole of the diaphragm there is a column with longitudinal vanes which protrude upwardly until they skim the rim of the hole and are adapted to follow the blood in its flow by gravity toward the collection region at the base of the enclosure.

Abstract: A concrete component embedded anchoring insert for bracing panels in buildings, and prefabricated concrete component provided therewith, the anchoring insert comprising an insert body delimiting a compartment and having a face with a main access opening. The insert body can be embedded in the concrete component so that the face is substantially flush with a face of the concrete component. A connecting element can be inserted in the main opening. The insert body has at least one secondary opening allowing concrete of the component body to enter the compartment, and a protection provided in the compartment adapted to prevent the concrete from accessing a portion of the compartment which is designed to receive the connecting element.

Abstract: A terminal for enameled electric wires, of the type constituted by a plate-like body which forms a connecting fork with tabs which cantilever inward on the same plane of arrangement as the plate-like body; the tabs face each other so as to form a self-centering tapered opening for guiding the insertion of an electric wire with insulating enameling, the wire being adapted to be locked between the ends of the tips of the tabs and an abutment formed on the plate-like body proximate to the ends, with an axis which lies transversely to the arrangement of the plate-like body; the tips form a cut-through slot whose transverse dimensions are smaller than the diameter of the enameled wire, so as to cut through at least its insulating layer during its passage between them and provide electrical contact. At least one of the facing edges of the cut-through tips has a serrated portion in order to scrape and remove the layer of enamel from the surface of the enameled electric wire.

Abstract: An apparatus for handling sheet-like products having: a truck glidable on rails, a supporting structure for an assembly for gripping a sheet, the supporting structure performing a translational motion on the truck through a lateral translational motion with respect to the direction of advancement of the truck, a grip assembly for a sheet, which is rotatably coupled to the supporting structure by way of rotation elements adapted to move it from a first raised grip configuration to a second substantially horizontal configuration, and a worktable arranged above the rails and provided with through openings that can be crossed downward from above by the grip assembly during the rotary motion from the first raised configuration to the second substantially horizontal configuration.

Abstract: A method for saturating cavities present in a mass of soil or in a body in general, comprising at least one step for at least partial filling of the cavity by introducing into the cavity a filler material in the solid state or in the fluid state and capable of setting. At least one step of saturating the cavity is then performed by introducing into the cavity a fluid synthetic substance which expands and sets by chemical reaction. The synthetic substance is adapted to generate, as a consequence of its expansion, at least the saturation of the cavity and a compaction and/or loading of the filler material introduced into the cavity in the filling step, creating an optional state of permanent tension on the walls that delimit the cavity, to the point of producing, if necessary, a deformation of the walls.

Abstract: A magazine for printing and converting heads for printing machines, comprising at least one containment body which is adapted to be arranged in close proximity to a printing machine and is adapted to accommodate a plurality of printing and converting heads, a carriage being provided for conveying the printing and converting heads from the at least one containment body to the printing machine and from the printing machine to the at least one containment body.

Abstract: A machine for processing samples of biological tissues or the like, comprising a box-like structure, which delimits a compartment for accommodating trays for containing sample treatment liquid (the trays being arranged in preset positions of the compartment), and racks for supporting at least one sample supporting slide to be inserted in the trays. The machine comprises elements for transfer within the compartment for the trays and the racks, both individually and with the racks inserted in the trays.

Abstract: A set of units for a device integrated in an extracorporeal blood circuit, comprising a cardiotomy reservoir which is provided with elements adapted to provide a monolithic coupling selectively with identical complementary elements of a venous reservoir and a venous bag.

Abstract: A meat tenderizing device, comprising: a supporting bed, which comprises a plurality of longitudinal members arranged in the direction of translational motion of pieces of meat, and a plurality of toothed rods, comprised between the longitudinal members so as to form a deck for conveying the pieces of meat; a head arranged above the supporting bed and comprising knives adapted to be inserted between the longitudinal members of the bed and provided with elements for movement, which comprise elements that are adapted to determine selectively a stroke of the knives in which the lower end position is located at at least one height that lies above, and at at least one height that lies below, the bed that supports the pieces of meat.
