| 241002000 | With cell rupturing or liberation of contained liquids | 7 |
| 20080223962 | Biological Sample Disruption Techniques - Improved ball mill disruption techniques. In different embodiments, disrupting particles that are not substantially spherical are used. In other embodiments, roughened disrupting particles are used. In other embodiments, larger disrupting particles are used. In each instance, improved disruption can be achieved. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080302889 | LIQUEFYING DE-WATERED SLUDGE PREPARATORY TO DRYING - Sewage sludge that has been de-watered to 25% solids is subjected to a combination of shearing and heating that liquefies the sludge, and drops its viscosity to below 12,000 cP. The fact of liquefaction prepares the sludge such that subsequent drying can be done more cost-effectively than hitherto. After drying, the dried sludge can be incinerated. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090039183 | Medication disposal system - Medication is disposed of by rending the medication, including medicaments stored in blister packs and transdermal patches, and aggregating the riven medication with a disposal medium that is suitable for burial or incineration. Burial or incineration of the aggregated disposal medium and the riven medication reduces the likelihood of water contamination. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100127104 | Medication disposal system - Medication is disposed of by rending the medication, including medicaments stored in blister packs and transdermal patches, and aggregating the riven medication with a disposal medium that is suitable for burial or incineration. Burial or incineration of the aggregated disposal medium and the riven medication reduces the likelihood of water contamination. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20120091235 | HANDHELD LOW PRESSURE MECHANICAL CELL LYSIS DEVICE WITH SINGLE CELL RESOLUTION - Apparatus and methods for mechanical cell lysis with single cell resolution which requires very low applied pressure. The device can be handheld, simple to operate, requires no external power except for hand-applied pressure via a syringe, and is applicable to all cell types including yeast and bacterial cells. The device is also capable of mechanically lysing a single cell. A single cell is selected from a biological sample of interest. The single cell is lysed by application of mechanical stress in a single cell lysing apparatus having a trap structure for deterministically capturing the cell and a stress raiser that cooperates with a source of mechanical stress so as to apply sufficient force to rupture a cell. The stress raiser can be a properly designed edge of the trap or it can be a lithographically produced structure such as a nanoblade or a nanopillar. | 04-19-2012 |
| 20120175441 | MECHANICAL LYSIS ARRANGEMENTS AND METHODS - Methods and arrangements to lyse a biological sample are described. The arrangements comprise a lysis tube containing the sample, one or more electromagnets generating a magnetic field, and one or more permanent magnets inside the lysis tube. The permanent magnets move and lyse the sample when a magnetic field is generated by the electromagnets. | 07-12-2012 |
| 20140008470 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CRUSHING AND DRYING MOISTURE-CONTAINING MATERIAL, ESPECIALLY WOOD - A method for crushing and drying damp wood, wherein the wood is introduced into an impact reactor, which has a substantially cylindrical main body, in the closed interior space of which there rotates a rotor with at least one impact element, which contacts the wood and crushes it into part-constituents while generating a great transfer of momentum. The interior space of the cylindrical main body is assigned a suction removal device, which during the impact crushing removes the mist of moisture produced when the impact element makes contact with the material, and the interior space of the cylindrical main body has admitted to it hot gas, heated by waste heat from a combustion process, at a temperature of less than 95° C., in particular less than 80° C., or the exhaust gas from a combustion process, which after a collision of the impact element with a material constituent penetrates the material constituent in place of the moisture leaving. Also a device for carrying out the method. | 01-09-2014 |
