  • Publication number: 20120286071
    Abstract: A fluid spraying device comprises a fluid tube rotatably disposed therein and a conveying tube disposed in the fluid tube. The fluid tube has a conveying section, a bend output section, and a decreasing section connected therebetween. The decreasing section has a cross section area smaller than that of the bend output section. One end of the conveying tube extends through the fluid tube to the decreasing section, so as to cause Venturi effect to cause a contained fluid being sprayed out from the conveying tube when a fluid flows through the fluid tube.

  • Publication number: 20120286065
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rotary spraying device in which a fluid tube is assembled with a rotary means formed to have a channel structure. A portion of a fluid which flows through the fluid tube flows into the rotary means so as to provide a rotation applying force for rotating the rotary means when the fluid flows through the channel structure in the rotary means. Thus, the fluid is sprayed rotatably from the fluid tube which is rotated with the rotary means.

  • Publication number: 20020187147
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to specific, multivalent, soluble recombinant I-Ag7/peptide complexes. These complexes are stable and are recognized by the TCR of T cells specific for a preselected antigen, to which they bind with low affinity. The inventive complexes may be used, for example, in the identification and study of autoreactive T cells and in the diagnosis, treatment and/or prevention of autoimmune or other diseases, including diabetes or pre-diabetic conditions.
