A particle size tracking system for providing predictive maintenance and battery tuning of hydrocyclones arranged in a battery configuration, featuring a control having a signal processor configured to: receive signaling containing information about particle sizes of material flowing in pipes of hydrocyclones arranged in a battery configuration; and determine corresponding signaling containing information to control the operation of each hydrocyclone arranged in the battery configuration, based upon the signaling received. The signal processor may be configured to provide the corresponding signal as control signaling to control the operation of each hydrocyclone arranged in the battery configuration.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for tissue processing and analysis. Tissue chambers are configured to allow single-container chemical processing, imaging, and wax embedding of tissue samples in a single container without manipulation between steps. Tissue chambers with features to support the tissue sample and allow fluid flow between the tissue sample and the tissue chamber surface are disclosed. The features may be index matched to sample structures of interest or dissolvable in clearing solution to allow for in-chamber imaging with minimal distortion. Specialized tissue processing and wax removal apparatuses are also disclosed including for use with tissue chambers having frangible portions to permit ease of wax removal.

A secure specimen sample bottle includes a base container for receiving a specimen. The base container has a plurality of locking protrusions formed along an inner surface of the base receptacle. A bottle includes a lock ring that has an upright spire structure that has a closed top end and the opposing open bottom end including a plurality of flexible fins that are configured to interlockingly mate with the locking protrusions so as to prevent removal of the lock ring relative to the base container upon engagement of the flexible fins to the locking protrusions. A removable cap is coupled to the lock ring.

Provided are an active droplet generating apparatus capable of controlling a droplet size, a method of controlling a droplet size using the same, and a self-diagnosis apparatus for diagnosing generation of a droplet, the active droplet generating apparatus including: a disposable microchannel upper plate; a multifunctional lower plate separated from the disposable microchannel upper plate and configured to be permanently used separately from the disposable microchannel upper plate; a functional polymeric film provided on a lower surface of the upper plate; a negative pressure forming means; and a flow velocity control device configured to adjust the droplet size to a desired size by receiving, by feedback, the voltage value measured by the droplet measuring electrode and controlling flow velocities of the oil and the sample, thereby controlling the droplet size in a feedback control manner by quickly and accurately measuring the droplet size using a capacitance impedance technique.

Devices, systems, and their methods of use, for generating droplets are provided. One or more geometric parameters of a microfluidic channel can be selected to generate droplets of a desired and predictable droplet size.

An installation intended to enable a conformity check of a mechanical part of a vehicle, including at least one magnetizing device, and at least one device for spraying a revealing product, wherein the installation also includes at least one device for generating at least one image by means of at least one image capture apparatus and at least one device for transmitting the at least one image on an analysis unit.

A sensor module includes a sensor configured to detect a specific substance in a sample, a first channel, and a second channel The first channel supplies a first fluid as the sample to the sensor. The second channel supplies a second fluid different from the first fluid to the sensor. The second channel includes a second fluid buffer tank for holding the second fluid for a fixed time interval.

A fully automatic inductive sample-collecting bucket capable of storing sample information includes a bucket, and a bucket cover snap-fitted to an upper end of the bucket. A bucket cover cavity is formed in the bucket cover. A locking mechanism, and a control mechanism for driving the locking mechanism to act are integrated in the bucket cover cavity. An integrated circuit (IC) card inductive control assembly is integrated in the bucket cover. The bucket is provided with a radio frequency identification (RFID) chip. The IC card inductive control assembly is configured to identify IC card unlocking information of an external grip for cover opening work and to drive the control mechanism to work to control an action of the locking mechanism. The sample-collecting bucket integrates an RFID card capable of carrying sample coding information, and can realize the automatic cover-sealing and cover-opening function under the identification and control of the controller.
