The sensor can be used for diagnostic application, but for instance also drugs, either therapeutic or abuse, may be detected in for instance blood, urine and saliva.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2012Publication date: November 14, 2013Inventors: Roel Penterman, Johannes Van Eemeren, Reinhold Wimberger-Friedl, Henrik Van Amerongen

Publication number: 20130291966Abstract: A quick-release vacuum pump. A vacuum pump part has a cylindrical hollow area extending between an inlet and an outlet and nozzles disposed in series inside the hollow area and have slots therein, both ends of the nozzles communicating with each other between the inlet and the outlet. A release part includes a support tube formed above a suction port, a skirt-type check valve to be moved up and down by air pressure to open and close the support tube, and a pressure chamber formed in a passage communicating with the suction port and passes by a valve skirt. A filter material disposed between the suction port and the support tube allows discharge air to pass through upward when the pump part operates, and is cleaned by air supplied to the suction port through the support tube from the pressure chamber when the pump part stops operating.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2011Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventor: Ho-Young Cho

Publication number: 20130284271Abstract: A system having improved trapping force for acoustophoresis is described where the trapping force is improved by manipulation of the frequency of the ultrasonic transducer. The transducer includes a ceramic crystal. The crystal may be directly exposed to fluid flow. The crystal may be air backed, resulting in a higher Q factor.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventors: Bart Lipkens, Jason Dionne, Thomas J. Kennedy, III

Publication number: 20130284289Abstract: A device is described for controlling a hydraulic accumulator of a hydraulic system, for example a vehicle transmission, having a valve device which may connect and disconnect an accumulator-side port of the device to and from a system-side port, the valve device including at least one first check valve which is situated hydraulically between the accumulator-side port and the system-side port, and which is blocking in the direction of the system-side port, the valve device also including an electrically actuated control valve which is situated between a control port of the first check valve and the accumulator-side port in such a way that the control valve may hydraulically unblock the first check valve, using the pressure prevailing at the accumulator-side port.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2011Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventors: Ruediger Block, Nils Steinbach, Werner Hess, Ianislav Krastev, Helmut Schneider, Steffen Strauss, Uwe Kulow, Christof Ott
