A portable system is disclosed for collecting a sample from exhaled breath of a subject. Drug substance in the exhaled breath are detected or determined. The sample is collected for further analysis using mass-spectroscopy. The system comprises a sampling unit and a housing arranged to hold the sampling unit, the sampling unit is adapted to collect non-volatile and volatile compounds of the at least one drug substance from the exhaled breath from the subject. The housing has at least one inlet for the subject to exhale into the housing to the sampling unit and at least one outlet for the exhaled breath to exit through.

A radial expander having a rotor mounted in a housing and comprising multiple blades. The blades together with a radially inner hub contour of a rotor hub and a radially outer housing contour define flow channels for the process gas, which process gas to be expanded enters in a radial direction and from which expanded process gas exits in the axial direction. The radially inner hub contour of the rotor includes a curvature change at least in some circumferential positions seen in the meridional section such that adjacent to a flow leading side of the rotor, the radially inner hub contour, seen in the meridional section, is curved radially to the outside and adjacent to a flow trailing side of the rotor, the radially inner hub contour, seen in the meridional section, is curved radially to the inside.

A turbine blade and a radial turbine having at least one blade is provided. The turbine blade includes a trailing edge and a leading edge opposite the trailing edge. The turbine blade also includes a cooling passage defined internally within the turbine blade. The cooling passage is in fluid communication with a source of cooling fluid via a single inlet to receive a cooling fluid. The cooling passage diverges at a first point downstream from the single inlet into at least two branches that extend along the at least one blade from the first point to a second point near a tip of the leading edge and the cooling passage converges at the second point.

An air turbine drive spindle capable of suppressing a pressure increase inside a through hole is provided. A spindle includes a rotary shaft and an outer circumferential member (a housing assembly, a cover and a nozzle plate). The rotary shaft is provided with a through hole. The outer circumferential member includes a bearing sleeve configured to surround at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rotary shaft. The outer circumferential member includes a gas supply portion and a gas exhaust hole. The spindle includes a second gas exhaust portion (a first gas exhaust hole and a first gas flow passage). The second gas exhaust portion is independent of the gas exhaust hole and continuous to outside from a gas exhaust space.
