  • Patent number: 11982600
    Abstract: A trap for horizontal flow marine sediment, useful for collecting and sampling marine sediments where horizontal currents are intense and turbulent; the trap is comprising a first inlet opening and a second outlet opening, configured to allow the inlet and the outlet of a marine current, the path between the two openings comprising: an inlet area with a divergent section, connected to the first inlet opening; a sedimentation area with a greater section with respect to the inlet area, in order to allow gravity separation of particles present in the marine current. The trap also has an outlet area whose section converges in terms of width between the section where the outlet area is connected to the sedimentation area and to the second outlet opening.

  • Patent number: 8496584
    Abstract: A machine for performing a method for immediate identification and rapid comparative assessment of indicators of the presence of infections and/or risk situations related to gastroduodenal pathologies, characterized in that it comprises a measurement unit that is constituted by a container supplied by means for aspirating gastric juices in which an agitator of the mixture of gastric juice, reagents and water operates, and at least one probe for sensing the values of the analysis, a hydraulic section that comprises a set of tanks for the reagents required for the analysis and for the water, which are connected to respective apparatuses for feeding said measurement unit and to a pump for feeding water into the stomach of the patient, an apparatus for controlling the temperature of said container, and an electrical section, which comprises a programmable control unit for actuating and controlling said feeder apparatuses and said measurement unit and is suitable to determine the test execution methods.

  • Publication number: 20060189894
    Abstract: A method for immediate identification and rapid comparative assessment of indicators of the presence of infections and/or risk situations related to gastroduodenal pathologies, comprising the steps of: aspirating, during an endoscopy, a preset quantity of gastric juices, and sending at least part of the aspirated gastric juices to a control unit, where it is subjected to at least one analysis, the outcome of which is provided before the endoscopy ends.
