The present invention provides a cantilever having a base fixed to an inspecting apparatus, a beam protruding from the base, and a probe fixed to an end of the beam, wherein: the probe is formed by use of a carbon nanotube; and the probe is fixed by metal layers from at least two directions when the cantilever is operated, the probe protrudes in a direction in which a sample is fixed. It is possible to prevent the probe from warping and suppress image failures during observation of a sample.

The subject disclosure presents systems and computer-implemented methods for evaluating a tissue sample that has been removed from a subject. A change in speed of the energy traveling through the sample is evaluated to monitor changes in the biological sample during processing. The rate of change in the speed of the energy is correlated with the extent of diffusion. A system for performing the method can include a transmitter that outputs the energy and a receiver configured to detect the transmitted energy. A time-of-flight of acoustic waves and rate of change thereof is monitored to determine an optimal time for soaking the tissue sample in a fixative.

The inkjet recording apparatus which forms an image on a recording medium by applying a first liquid containing coloring material and a second liquid containing no coloring material or the coloring material of not greater than 0.1 wt %, on the recording medium, includes: a liquid application device which applies the second liquid on the recording medium and then ejects droplets of the first liquid toward the second liquid applied on the recording medium; and an electron beam irradiation device which radiates an electron beam on the first liquid and the second liquid on the recording medium, wherein: at least one of the first liquid and the second liquid contains a polymerizable compound which is polymerized when irradiated with the electron beam; and the electron beam irradiation device radiates the electron beam at an acceleration voltage of 40 kV through 60 kV.

The invention provides an improved CVD reactor sub-system including a modular reactor enclosure and function modules. The modular reactor enclosure can accommodate a commercially available cold-wall CVD reactor chamber, and the function modules can be arranged on the reactor enclosure to provide functions necessary to perform a CVD process with the reactor chamber. Preferred function modules include modules for providing heat to a CVD reactor chamber and modules for measuring conditions internal to a CVD reactor chamber. The invention also provides methods for configuring such a CVD reactor sub-system, in particular configuring the sub-system to best perform a particular CVD process, and kits for performing such configuring. Advantageously, the invention allows a single CVD reactor sub-system to be reconfigured and rearranged so that it can best perform a number of different CVD processes.

An apparatus and method are disclosed and pertain to a lid for use with a container having a rim and an opening where volatile esters from an aromatic compound are dispersing into the environment and for enhancing the identification of the volatile esters. The lid is comprised of a generally planar laterally stabilized gas restrictive material for decreasing the dispersion rate of the volatile esters, resulting in increased concentration of the volatile esters within the container and enhancing the identification of the volatile esters emitted from the aromatic compound. The lid includes a surface for coupling to the rim in a manner that laterally stabilizes the lid so that it remains sufficiently fixed to the rim during agitation of the container. The surface also permits the lid to be removed from the rim.

A medical instrument for use in rhinoplasty has a first rod-shaped element that comprises a distal portion intended to hold nasal cartilage of a nose side. The instrument further comprises a second rod-shaped element having a distal portion for holding nasal cartilage of the other side of the nose, there being provided a fixing element which is detachably mounted on the first element and the second element and which mutually fixes the two elements one beside the other in approximately parallel alignment one relative to the other.

The invention concerns an apparatus, a method and a use of the apparatus for automatically twisting metal wires. The invention concerns in particular such an apparatus for connecting adjacent, preferably mutually crossing structural elements, comprising a wire feed means for feeding wire, preferably endless wire, into the apparatus, an arcuate wire guide which has a selectively openable and closable opening and which is adapted to guide the fed wire in the closed position along the arcuate wire guide from a first side of the arcuate wire guide to a second side of the arcuate wire guide, that is in opposite relationship with respect to the opening, a pulling slider adapted to engage the fed wire on the first side of the arcuate wire guide and to pull it towards the second side of the arcuate wire guide, and a twisting unit adapted to engage the fed wire on both sides of the arcuate wire guide and to twist it by means of a rotational movement.

The invention relates to a cooling circuit pump for a motor vehicle, having a stator which is arranged in a motor housing (14) and in which a rotatably mounted rotor is received. It is proposed that the stator (12) is received in the motor housing (14) in a positively locking manner.

An escape system for a building including an endless belting ladder formed by an endless elongated band of a flat flexible reinforced belting material having a plurality of longitudinally-spaced apertures each with a substantially transverse edge portion thereby forming rung-like features along the belting material to receive a person's foot or hand; and a pulley system characterized by a support structure mountable to the building, at least one substantially cylindrical member rotatably secured with respect to the support structure, and a speed reducer controlling the rotation of the cylindrical member. The endless band is secured around the cylindrical member.

A tubular element (1) adapted for use downhole in drilling and oil & gas prospecting comprises a metallic mandrel (6) adapted to be connected (2,3) within a string of elongate elements, with a GRP(GFK) composite material (7) upon an outer surface of the mandrel in which a plurality of ceramic particles are partially embedded to present exposed contact surfaces in the formed composite material. The surface can be ribbed (4) with flow channels (5) therebetween. Suitable particles are of zirconium oxide, silicon nitride, cubic boron nitride, and mixtures of two or more thereof, whereby improvements in weight/strength ratio, fatigue endurance, increased torsional properties, with reduction of wear on the casing are obtained when such composite tubulars of the invention are used as drill pipe or work string sub-assembly elements.

The present invention provides a droplet discharging apparatus including a discharge head for deflectively discharging droplets through one discharge port at a plurality of pixel areas in adaptive fashion. The discharge head is controlled to discharge droplets at an object. A storage unit stores status information about the discharge head. A communication unit communicates with an information processing apparatus located outside so as to transmit the status information to the information processing apparatus.
