Abstract: Methods and techniques for controlled printing of a cell sample for karyotyping are provided. The methods can involve matrix printing using on-the-fly printing or dispensing to accurately spread cells within at least one cell sample on a surface in preparation for karyotyping, and further analysis. Advantageously, the methods result in a uniform distribution of chromosomes of the cell suspension or sample on the surface of a substrate which can be substantially discretely identified, and also provide for efficiency in a subsequent staining process and any further analysis of the stained chromosomes using a microscope or other imaging device.

Abstract: A welded pipe assembly includes a first and a second metal pipes, and a welded joint or welded material connecting the first pipe with the second pipe. The first and second metal pipes each have a length of at least 30? and an exterior diameter of less than 24?. The weld material includes a plurality of weld pass layers including a first internal pass layer and a second internal pass layer disposed on top of the first internal pass layer. The second internal pass layer is positioned closer to an interior longitudinal axis of the welded first and second pipes than the first internal pass layer. The welded joint includes a first internal bevel formed in the first metal pipe and a second internal bevel formed in the second metal pipe. The first internal pass layer is disposed in a region defined by the first and the second internal bevels.

Abstract: A fitting connectable to an end portion of a pipe generally includes a tubular insert member configured to be received at least partly within the end portion of the pipe, and a retention member coupled to the insert member and configured to be received at least partly within the end portion of the pipe. The retention member operates in conjunction with the insert member to engage the end portion of the pipe and impart an increased force against an inner wall of the pipe in response to forces tending to separate the fitting from the end portion of the pipe. The insert member includes a plurality of reinforcement ribs formed on its inner surface which provide support to the insert member and help prevent damage thereto from transverse bending forces applied during installation.
