  • Patent number: 9890475
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for application of liquid polymeric material onto the active spinning zone of the cord of the spinning member of the spinning electrode, where the application means moving reversibly along the active spinning zone of the cord in the device for production of nanofibres through electrostatic spinning of liquid material in electrostatic field of high intensity between at least one spinning electrode and against it arranged collecting electrode. The liquid polymeric material is applied onto the cord around its whole circumference without any contact with gaseous environment in the spinning space, where the application means reversibly moves, whereas while the cord is leaving the application means the thickness of the layer of the liquid polymeric material is being reduced and immediately after leaving the application means the process of electrostatic spinning of the liquid polymeric material applied on the cord is started.

  • Patent number: 8418648
    Abstract: Method for production of deposit or layer of nanoparticles or a layer of nanofibers from solutions or melts of polymers in electrostatic field of a high intensity, during which the produced nanoparticles or the produced nanofibers deposit on a substrate material passing through the active chamber, in which is positioned the active electrode. The electrostatic field for production, transfer and depositing of nanoparticles or production, transfer and depositing of nanofibers is induced between the active electrode and the substrate material, on which in the direction of its movement in front of and/or opposite to the active electrode there is applied an electric charge of opposite polarity than that of the active electrode, while an electric charge applied on the substrate material is being partially or totally consumed through depositing of nanoparticles or nanofibers on the moving substrate material.

  • Patent number: 5760950
    Abstract: A scanning confocal microscope optical system overcomes the difficulties of previous devices and can be used in diagnostic applications that are inaccessible to previous devices. The optical system for forming an image of a subject illuminated by light from an illumination system includes a Nipkow disk that is perpendicular to a light propagation path and that has a surface upon which a plurality of pinholes are distributed substantially symmetrically about an axis perpendicular to the surface of the disk. The system further includes components for projecting an image of a first set of the pinholes onto a second set of the pinholes, the image being formed of light transmitted by the first set of the pinholes when the first set is illuminated by light that impinges on a first side of the disk. The system further includes a collective lens and a first objective lens for focussing light transmitted by the second set of the pinholes onto the subject and for collecting light reflected by the subject.

  • Patent number: 4917478
    Abstract: An arrangement preventing the creation of secondary images in the case of the so called "tandem scanning" of objects by means of a scanning disk with spirally arranged openings similar to a Nipkow disk and a mirror provided on one of its surfaces with a semitransparent mirror layer in which said mirror has a thickness sufficient to space apart the light rays reflected from the mirrored and unmirrored surfaces so that only the light ray reflected from the mirrored surface will pass through the scanning disk.
