Abstract: A method for manufacturing filtration units (2), for example for biomedical use and the like, constituted by a box-like enclosure (3) and a filtration element (4) which can be mutually assembled, comprising a step of injecting a retention element (6) in the fluid state in a seat (5), which is associated with the box-like enclosure, for accommodating the filtration element (4); a step of embedding an end of the filtration element (4) in a portion of the retention element (6) kept in the fluid state; and a step of consolidation of the retention element (6) in order to lock the filtration element (4) in the seat (5), the retention element (6) being a thermoplastic polymeric material which can be applied by hot injection in a preset closed volume of the seat (5).

Abstract: An apparatus (1) for molding and assembling a chamber unit (D) for biomedical use comprising two plates (18, 22), which are mutually parallel and opposite and are allowed to move toward and away from each other, for supporting the mold parts of a first forming mold (3) and of a second forming mold (4) for the injection molding of thermoplastic material respectively of two parts (A, B) of a chamber unit (D) that are adapted to be mutually assembled, and the mold parts of a mold (5) for the assembly, by overmolding additional thermoplastic material, of the two parts (A, B), an element supporting device (6) that is rendered movable between the plates (18, 22) by actuation means (M) and is adapted to receive the parts (A, B) from the first (3) and second (4) forming molds and to transfer them to the assembly mold (5); the element supporting device (6) is directly associated, at least slidingly, with at least one of the supporting plates (18, 22).

Abstract: Guano sine-5?-monophosphate derivatives of general formula (I), wherein R, M, x and n have the meanings defined in the disclosure, are used as flavouring agents or flavour enhancers in alimentary products.

Abstract: An apparatus for sensing and measuring the HV surge arrester current includes two toroidal current transformers arranged coaxially with respect to the earth wire of the surge arrester, elements for sensing the current signals emitted by the transformers and for converting the current signals in digital signals, and elements for transmitting the digital signals to an information network and analog state signals by relay activation. The two toroidal current instrument transformers are associated, respectively, one to elements for sensing the normal leakage current, and the other to elements for sensing the impulsive current, the latter comprising a circuit (TRIGGER) discriminating between “switching” and “lightning” signals, in which the basis for discrimination is a signal duration threshold, of about 35 ?s.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for sensing and measuring the HV surge arrester current. It comprises two toroidal current transformers arranged coaxially with respect to the earth wire of the surge arrester, means for sensing the current signals emitted by the said transformers and for converting the said current signals in digital signals, and means for transmitting the said digital signals to an information network and analog state signals by relay activation. The two toroidal current instrument transformers are associated, respectively, one to means for sensing the normal leakage current, and the other to means for sensing the impulsive current, the latter comprising a circuit (TRIGGER) discriminating between “switching” and “lightning” signals, in which the basis for discrimination is a signal duration threshold, of about 35 &mgr;s.
