  • Publication number: 20220324701
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) component or microfluidic component comprising a free-hanging or free-standing microchannel (1), as well as methods for manufacturing such a microchannel, as well as a flow sensor, e.g. a thermal flow sensor or a Coriolis flow sensor, pressure sensor or multi-parameter sensor, valve, pump or microheater, comprising such a microelectromechanical system component or microfluidic component. The MEMS component allows to increase the flow range and/or decrease the pressure drop of for instance a micro Coriolis mass flow meter by increasing the channel diameter, while maintaining its advantages.

  • Patent number: 6911216
    Abstract: Delivery of bioactive molecules such as nucleic acid molecules encoding a protein can be significantly enhanced by immobilization of the bioactive molecule in a polymeric material adjacent to the cells where delivery is desired, where the bioactive molecule is encapsulated in a vehicle such as liposomes which facilitates transfer of the bioactive molecules into the targeted tissue. Targeting of the bioactive molecules can also be achieved by selection of an encapsulating medium of an appropriate size whereby the medium serves to deliver the molecules to a particular target. For example, encapsulation of nucleic acid molecules or biologically active proteins within biodegradable, biocompatible polymeric microparticles which are appropriate sized to infiltrate, but remain trapped within, the capillary beds and alveoli of the lungs can be used for targeted delivery to these regions of the body following administration to a patient by infusion or injection.

  • Patent number: 6481945
    Abstract: Enhanced inserts are formed having a cylindrical grip and a protrusion extending from the grip. An ultra hard material layer is bonded on top of the protrusion. The inserts are mounted on a rock bit and contact the earth formations off center. The ultra hard material layer is thickest at a critical zone which encompasses a major portion of the region of contact between the insert and the earth formation. Transition layers may also be formed between the ultra hard material layer and the protrusion so as to reduce stresses formed on the interface between the ultra hard material and the protrusion.

  • Patent number: 6328561
    Abstract: A furnace includes a core tube that has an elongate boundary wall and is configured to accommodate wafers for processing the wafers in a treatment atmosphere. The furnace includes a cooling chamber defined between the elongate boundary wall and an outer casing of the furnace, wherein the outer casing includes a heating element and has first lateral, circumferentially spaced openings in proximity of a first end of the outer casing and second lateral, circumferentially spaced openings in proximity of a second end of the outer casing. Cooling gas is supplied through one of the first and second lateral, circumferentially spaced openings to a region of one end of the cooling chamber and provides for a cooling atmosphere. The cooling gas is guided along the cooling chamber with a uniform distribution of flow and discharged through one of the first and second lateral, circumferentially spaced openings from a region of an opposite end of the cooling chamber.

  • Patent number: 4890623
    Abstract: A printed circuit biopotential sensing device is provided which is particularly adapted for endocardial or other deep body applications. The device has a predetermined printed circuit pattern formed on a thin film substrate, the pattern having at least one electrode pad at its distal end, at least one terminal pad at the proximal end, and conductor means selectively interconnecting the electrode pads and terminal pads. The substrate is secured to, and is preferably wrapped around an elongated member which is preferably tube-shaped in a manner such that the electrodes are exposed at the distal end of the member, and the terminal pads at the proximal end of the substrate are utilized in forming a suitable connector from the device.

  • Patent number: 4550446
    Abstract: Footwear adapted to be inserted within a sneaker or the like, preferably between the sneaker and a conventional sock. The footwear is made of a flexible, light, waterproof material which is breathable so that although moisture cannot enter the inside thereof, vapor can pass therethrough in order to afford a high degree of comfort to the wearer. The insert type footwear is constructed from a single-piece pattern which is seamed in a manner such that none of the seams run adjacent to the sole or heel region of the foot.
