20120003750 | DETECTION OF ACTUATED CLUSTERS BY SCATTERING - A method for detecting clusters of superparamagnetic particles coated with a bioreactive agent is provided. A suspension of the superparamagnetic particles in a fluid to be analyzed is provided. The particles are allowed to form clusters due to an analyte present within the fluid and a magnetic field rotating at a given frequency is applied to the solution. Light is directed to the fluid and the amplitude of the intensity of scattered light at twice the frequency of the magnetic field is extracted. By determining the amplitude of the measured intensity of scattered light at twice the field depending on the frequency of the magnetic field a frequency-dependent measurement may be achieved. The frequency-dependent measurement may be used to determine the critical frequency of clusters, to distinguish clusters having different sizes or to measure the average value of the susceptibility and the spread of the susceptibility of the particles in the fluid. Furthermore, an apparatus for apparatus for detecting clusters of superparamagnetic particles is provided. | 01-05-2012 |

20080206418 | Equipment For the Preparation of a Hot Beverage - Equipment for the preparation of a hot beverage comprising a boiler capable of containing a liquid component of the beverage, for example water, a collection container and means defining a delivery path for the liquid component from the boiler to the collection container. The equipment also comprises valve means located along the delivery path for the liquid component comprising a plug which can move between a position in which the delivery path is closed and one in which it is open and means to immobilise the plug in the open position. These means are arranged in such a way that they can be activated and deactivated by a force exerted in the direction of movement of the plug. The means for immobilising the plug comprise at least one pair of members capable of attracting each other through magnetic force. | 08-28-2008 |
20080282899 | Equipment for the Production of a Hot Beverage - An equipment for the production of a hot beverage comprises a boiler, a collection container being associated to the boiler and means for defining a connection path from the boiler to the collection container comprising means for limiting the pressure drop experienced by a liquid contained in the boiler that, when the boiler is heated, rises up along the path to the collection container. A housing chamber for a powdered or ground ingredient is defined by a container for the powdered or ground ingredient, being inserted in the open mouth of the boiler, and a bottom of the collection container. A bottom of the container moves along side walls of the container between a rest position, corresponding to a non-assembled configuration of the equipment, and a working position, corresponding to an assembled configuration of the equipment. The bottom of the collection container is provided with a plurality of openings for the liquid to pass therethrough and being configured such that the void/full ratio is greater than 5%. | 11-20-2008 |
