Abstract: An apparatus for causing milk-like bubbles to be contained in fluid comprises an inlet and outlet of a high-pressure pump respectively combined with an input pipe and a connecting pipe; the input pipe is combined with an air entering pipe; the connecting pipe is combined with a high-pressure groove; the high-pressure groove is further combined with an output pipe; an input hole of the input pipe is larger than an output hole of the output pipe to allow the flow of fluid entering high-pressure pump to be larger than the flow of fluid expelled out of the output pipe, air is drawn into a fin set of the high-pressure pump through the air entering pipe to mix with the fluid and is quickly stirred to form tiny bubbles, and then delivered to the high-pressure groove to store there, the bubbles are finer owing to a higher hydraulic pressure; the fluid with the tiny bubbles is expelled from the output pipe.

Abstract: This invention relates to the enhancement of chemical reactions by applying a high frequency electric field to a material. The frequency and amplitude of the electric field are selected in accordance with the properties of the reacting components in the bulk of chemical reactor. In general, the high frequency range is determined by the dielectric properties of reactant(s), that is, at any given temperature, when, for example, the specific conductivity starts to grow from its low frequency value. Typically, frequencies in the range of 100 kHz to 200 MHz or greater are suitable for the enhancement of the reactions. An electric field of any shape having Fourier components that when applied to a chemical process exhibits growth in the real part of conductivity relative to the low frequency value is of particular importance.

Abstract: The present invention discloses pairs of oligonucleotide primers for use in detecting the presence or absence of an enterovirus in a sample. Also disclosed are synthetic nucleotide sequences capable of specifically hybridizing to a sense strand of an enterovirus nucleic acid or a nucleic acid corresponding to the sense strand. The present invention provides a method of detecting the presence or absence of an enterovirus nucleic acid in a sample as well as a kit for detecting an enterovirus in a sample. The present invention particularly provides a method and a kit for detecting and differentiating enterovirus type 71 and/or coxsackievirus A16 in a sample.

Abstract: A multimedia storage case structure comprises a case and a holder mounted within the case. The holder includes an elevating base and a snap boss thereon. The elevating base has first and a second resilient lips that are separated from each other via a plurality of grooves. The first and second lips bend toward a center of the holder and protrude upward to form the snap boss. A first portion of the snap boss, connected to the first lip, includes a claw and further bend toward the center of the holder to terminate in a top pressing cap that centrally overlies the snap boss meanwhile being spaced away by a gap from a second portion of the snap boss connected to the second lip.

Abstract: A wet electric heating (“WEH”) process involves establishing electrode zones (“e-zones”) around conductors (e.g., wells) for distributing electric current and thereby generating and distributing heat accordingly through a target region in a subterranean formation having hydrocarbons. The inventive WEH process takes into account e-zone geometric shape, spacing and/or spatial orientation to provide a more diffuse distribution of increased temperature values within the target region, compared to conventional electric heating processes, during at least the first 10% of a time interval when an electric potential is applied.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical film resistor or a film thermistor formed by a composite of electrically-conducting oxide and electrically insulating aluminum oxide (Al2O3, the sapphire). In a preferred embodiment, the electrically-conducting oxide can be ruthenium oxide (RuO2) or iridium oxide (IrO2). The composite film is formed by a film deposition process such as rf sputtering deposition in the presence of an inert gas. By adjusting the composition ratio of the composite, or changing the reaction conditions of the film deposition, for example, the inert gas pressure or the substrate temperature, the composite film can be formed for applications in either electrical resistor devices or thermistors.
