Abstract: A system includes pipes, each of which has a pipe passageway for fluid to pass therethrough and electrical conductors insulated from the pipe passageway. At least one fluid connector has a connector passageway for fluid to pass therethrough and electrical conductors insulated from the connector passageway. The pipes are fluidly and electrically connected to the at least one fluid connector. An irrigation controller and a power source are electrically connected to the pipes.

Abstract: There is provided herein a biopsy probe, comprising an outer elongated hollow body having a distal end configured to penetrate a sampling region, a proximal end and an opening located between said distal end and said proximal end, and an inner needle for obtaining one or more tissue samples, wherein at least a part thereof is located is an inner part of said outer elongated hollow body, wherein in a first configuration thereof, said inner needle extends along an insertions axis of said probe and in a second configuration thereof, at least a part of said inner needle extends through said opening, creating an angle relative to said insertion axis.

Abstract: A sliding door apparatus including a plurality of slat support elements, each including force-transfer members, a movement member and slat mounting members, the slat support elements being pivotally connected to one another and arranged for the movement members to travel along a track which has at least one straight track portion and at least one curved track portion, a plurality of slats attached to the slat mounting members, and a drive mechanism arranged to impart a driving force to the force-transfer members of the slat support elements so that the movement members travel along the track and pivot with respect to each other when passing through the at least one curved track portion.

Abstract: Fuel cell including a casing, a cathode having a first surface and a second surface, at least part of the second surface being exposed to the atmosphere, an anode having a first surface and a second surface, a first chamber configured to retain liquid fuel, wherein the first chamber is defined at least partially by the first surface of the anode, and a second chamber configured to retain liquid electrolyte, wherein the second chamber is defined at least partially by the second surface of the anode and the first surface of the cathode, wherein the fuel cell is configured to be sealed in a substantially liquid-tight manner during at least a portion of its service life. A cartridge can be connected to the fuel cell. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: A drip irrigation tube having a plurality of sequentially placed emitters formed on an interior wall of the tube. Each emitter employs a series of parallel flowpaths axially positioned along the tube to provide for closer proximity of inlet ports to discharge chambers thereby providing for closer spacing of the emitters. Overlapping of the inlet portion of the sequentially positioned emitters with the outlet portion of any preceding emitter provides for even more compact positioning of the emitters along the tube.

Abstract: System for refilling a fuel cell wherein the system includes a main container having at least one movable fuel container, at least one movable electrolyte container, and at least one spent fuel chamber. A valve which regulates or controls fluid flow between the main container and a fuel cell and vice versa. A method of refilling a fuel cell provides for moving the at one movable fuel container and the at least one movable electrolyte container to cause spent fuel from fuel cell to enter the at least one spent fuel chamber. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
