Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing edible mushrooms in sauce, which comprises: a) starting with previously processed fresh raw material, blanching said raw material in water; b) milling the raw material to obtain a homogenate; c) pouring edible vegetable oil into a steam-heated pressure vessel and raising the temperature of the vegetable oil; d) adding the homogenate to the container with heated vegetable oil and stirring the homogenate/oil mixture; e) adding powdered ingredients to the previous mixture; f) adding sliced edible mushroom to the mixture from the previous step until the mixture boils; g) once said boiling temperature has been reached, shutting off the steam supply to the steam-heated pressure vessel.

Abstract: A sample preparation instrument with an integrated device for estimating a concentration of white blood cells in a specimen is described. The sample preparation instrument receives a specimen for which a sample is to be prepared for analysis. The integrated device can implement an optical method, an electrical resistance method, or a flow cytometry method, for example, to estimate the white blood cell concentration in the specimen. For some types of analysis, a sample volume of the specimen is dependent on the white blood cell concentration. Therefore, the sample preparation instrument can automatically determine and adjust the sample volume of the specimen based on the estimated white blood cell concentration prior to adding additional reagents, such as labeling reagents and/or lytic reagents, to prepare the sample.

Abstract: Automatically sharing resources between devices is provided. A communication channel is established with a trusted data processing system over a network. In response to establishing the communication channel, a list of resources available for sharing between the data processing system and the trusted data processing system is shared via the communication channel. It is determined whether a match for a resource requested by the trusted data processing system exists in the list. In response to determining that a match for the resource requested by the trusted data processing system exists in the list, a matching resource is automatically shared with the trusted data processing system via the communication channel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for transferring elements through a surface comprising a frame fastened in an opening of the surface to be crossed through and a container joined to the frame comprising at least one pair of rods joining the container to the frame on one side of the container, such that each pair of rods is made up of a first rod and a second rod, the first rod and the second rod being parallel to each other, furthermore each rod is fastened to the frame by means of a bolt on one end of each rod and to the container by means of another bolt on the opposite end of the rod such that the rods have the ability to rotate resting on the bolts.

Abstract: Rotary base for securing tools to a work table with a cylindrical support base and truncated upper end, in whose interior and concentric thereto, there is a threaded lower cover and a cylindrical base piston and with a truncated upper end with means to secure tools. The base piston is arranged on the threaded lower cover and is vertically displaced on this threaded lower cover through the interior of the support base, actuated by a lifting system between a lower unlocking position in which the base piston rotates freely around its axis with respect to the support base and an upper locking position in which the rotation of the base piston with respect to the support base is locked by means of friction of its truncated upper end against the truncated upper end of the support base.

Abstract: A switch includes at least one input configured to receive data and at least two outputs configured to send data to at least two further switches in a network via at least two output links. Each output link has a known hop value. The switch further includes a direction determinator that determines a routing direction for the data from information identifying a relative location of the switch in the network and information identifying a destination of said data. A distributor within the switch processes the routing direction and direction information about each output link in order to select one of said at least two outputs for outputting said data. The selection that is made prioritizes output links for selection which have relatively higher known hop values.

Abstract: A duct cleaning apparatus and method for cleaning and maintaining the interior of most types of ducts, including chimneys, air conditioning and heating ducts, dryer ducts, vents, plumbing and rain gutter ducts. The apparatus is made up of a flexible rope (24) connected to a cleaning brush (10) or tool further connected to a retrieval parachute (30). The flexible rope (24) can be extended through the use of additional attached ropes (26) to create an infinitely long cleaning apparatus. The cleaning brush (10) may be configured in a variety of sizes with differing configurations of bristles (14) or appendages for specific applications. The cleaning appendages are connected to a rope (24) or line B, the length of which extends beyond the length of the duct (12) to be cleaned. One end of the rope (24) or line A is connected to the parachute (30) adapted with a wind-expanded periphery greater than that of the perimeter of the inside wall (22) of the duct (12) to be cleaned.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hematology instrument system that discriminates platelets from red blood cells, debris and other particles within a blood sample. The instrument system uses an optical trigger and collects data at optical sensor locations relative to a flow cell-illuminating laser beam's optical axis. An axial sensor measures axial light loss due to a particle in the flow cell's illumination aperture. In addition, the instrument system can include an RF unit generates electrical parameters, such as DC and RF parameters, within the flow cell. Blood specimens can be prepared with and without a sphering agent.
