Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for measuring an absolute quantity of each component of a gas using a QMS, more particularly to a system for measuring an absolute quantity of each component of a gas using a QMS, which is capable of performing not only a qualitative analysis but also a quantitative analysis in an accurate manner, using just a trace amount of gas introduced through a pinhole. According to the present invention, the productivity of products can be improved, and production management can be performed in an efficient manner, thereby improving industrial competitiveness.

Abstract: An improved wet and dry food grinder having a base assembly and a grinder assembly receivable on the base. The base contains an electric motor with associated electrical circuitry and drive means attached thereto. The grinder assembly has a cylindrical cover and a cylindrical grinder bowl received within the cover. Grinder blades are mounted in the grinder bowl and are driven by the drive means. The motor is actuated by placing the grinder assembly in position on the base and pressing down.

Abstract: Described is a preferred shutter system for protecting building interiors against severe weather conditions such as hurricanes. Advantageous shutter systems are stackable, comprising a plurality of panels, and are adapted for pressure fit within a window frame. Shutter systems of the invention also include cross bars engageable by the panels of the shutter system which provide support against both positive and negative pressures.

Abstract: Cells are automatically classified and analyzed by staining a measured amount of a specimen with a material which is adapted to fluoresce when illuminated; preparing a slide containing the stained specimen; illuminating the slide with light of successively changing wavelengths to measure the presence of the fluorescent response at each of the predetermined wavelengths to determine the constituents of the specimen.The detected constituents are automatically focused and scanned by a microscope having a capability of locating the constituent of interest, determining its size, shape and texture to thereby provide information as to the type, count and the like to enable a detailed analysis of the specimen.
