An injection device that comprises a chamber configured for containing a substance to be injected and a needle operatively associated with the chamber and having a length sufficient to deliver the substance to an intradermal injection site. A collar surrounds the needle, defining a collar cavity. The collar also has a peripheral forward skin-contacting surface that surrounds and is radially spaced from the needle and injection site by an area that is sufficiently large to allow a patient's skin to move into the collar cavity to properly position the needle for intradermal delivery of the substance to the injection site to allow spread of the injected substance under the skin while inhibiting or preventing backpressure within the skin from forcing the substance out through the injection site.

Said volume control valve (185) is designed such that it supplies the hydraulic fluid flow to a first cooling system (221), which is associated with a first one of the clutches (K1), in a first switching state and to a second cooling system (229), which is associated with a second one of the clutches (K2), in at least one second switching state.

A network device having a plurality of ports including address resolution logic (ARL), a first switch, a second switch, and a CPU. The first and second switches include groups of ports which are a subset of the plurality of ports and are numbered by different numbering schemes, rate control logic for performing rate control functions related to switching data packets between the network ports, and local communications channels for transmitting messages between the groups of ports and the rate control logic. The first switch is configured to generate a rate control message and relay the rate control message to the second switch, and the second switch is configured to generate a second rate control message based on the first rate control message, where the second rate control message is different than the first message.

The present invention relates to a device for filtering for treating ballast water by means of a filtering method, and to a method for controlling same, and more particularly, to a multicage-type device for filtering ballast water which automatically controls sequential backwashing and a method for same. In the multicage-type device for filtering ballast water, an automatic cleaning portion in each filtering device, in which differential pressure of at least a specific range with respect to pressure inside a body is generated, from a plurality of filtering units in the device for filtering, is sequentially actuated under the control of a control portion, thereby allowing smooth backwashing by preventing increase of back pressure during backwashing of foreign substances, and increasing repair / maintenance efficiency by installing a second pressure sensor for measuring pressure inside a filter in each of the filtering units via a pressure measurement aperture that penetrates an upper portion cover plate that covers a filter inlet aperture on an upper portion of the body.

An apparatus for improving the performance of a radial compressor 36 forming part of an inlet system of an engine 10 is disclosed in which the configuration and positioning of a flow management device 137 used to generate pre-whirl is optimized so as to produce a pressure drop below a maximum acceptable level. An inlet duct ‘I’ connected to the radial compressor 36 has a tapered end portion so that a flow management device 137 of a larger diameter d2 can be accommodated than the diameter d1 of an inlet port ‘IP’ to the radial compressor 36.

A cover for the upper end of an exhaust stack pipe comprises a curved cover pipe of greater diameter than the stack pipe. The curved cover pipe has a proximal end to fit over the end of the stack pipe and a distal end from which exhaust gases are discharged. The cover pipe is shaped to prevent rain from falling directly onto the end of the stack pipe. A flow diverter of lesser diameter than the cover pipe is mounted within the proximal end of the cover pipe to overlie the end of the stack pipe. The flow diverter comprises an extension tube for mounting onto the end of the stack pipe having lateral openings and a tapering deflector extending into the extension tube to divert exhaust gases to flow into the cover pipe through the lateral openings in the extension tube.

A combination direct / indirect liquid heating heater comprises a tower, a cold water inlet conduit causing water to fall in said tower, a hot water reservoir in communication with said tower, a gas burner, a hot gas inlet manifold encased in the reservoir and, by means of a vertical section, directing the gas into the tower. The hot gas manifold vertical section is capped by a cap impeding water flow into the manifold. Also, the vertical section comprises a baffle impeding gas flow from the tower into the reservoir.

The invention discloses a high-pressure washer, and belongs to the technical field of washing equipment. The high-pressure washer comprises a cabinet. A piston cavity, an air storage cavity and a material storage cavity are formed in the cabinet. The air storage cavity is positioned below the material storage cavity. The piston cavity is positioned on one side of the air storage cavity and communicated with the same through a single-way valve. A manual piston is slidably mounted in the piston cavity. The air storage cavity and the material storage cavity are both connected to a handheld pneumatic nebulizer. An air inlet of the handheld pneumatic nebulizer is communicated with the air storage cavity through an air pipe. A feed port of the handheld pneumatic nebulizer is connected with the material storage cavity through a rubber pipe. By the high-pressure washer, the problems that conventional high-pressure washers have poor effect in extracting viscous liquid and are greatly influenced by power sources are solved; the high-pressure washer is widely applied to manufacture of high-pressure washers.

A method for the transmission / reception of RF signals for NMR measurements uses a heat exchanger (1) for cooling heat sources (5), the heat exchanger having a contact element (4.2) for thermal connection between a cryogenic fluid and the heat source, is characterized in that the heat exchanger comprises a container having an interior volume V.sub.B into which a first cryogenic fluid F.sub.1 that has a liquid component F.sub.1L and a gaseous component F.sub.1G flows through an inflow conduit (8) and from which a second cryogenic fluid F.sub.2 that has liquid component F.sub.2L and a gaseous component F.sub.2G flows out through an outflow conduit (9). The inflow conduit has a flow cross-section Q.sub.Z and a circumference U.sub.Z from which an associated parameter V.sub.Z=4Q.sup.2.sub.Z / U.sub.Z results, wherein V.sub.B>10V.sub.Z, and the outflow conduit has a flow diameter Q.sub.A wherein Q.sub.A.gtoreq.Q.sub.Z. The contact element is in close thermal contact with both the liquid volume component V.sub.L of the cryogenic fluid and with the heat source. A device for setting the inflow quantity of the first cryogenic fluid F.sub.1 into the container is provided that ensures a state F.sub.1L / F.sub.1G>F.sub.2L / F.sub.2G during operation. In this way, vibrations due to the cooling process can be largely reduced and the consumption of cryogenic fluid minimized.
