Appl. No.:

09/452767

Inventors:

Derek J. Richard - Pleasanton CA
Mark Byer - Mountain View CA
Gerald Mitchell - Los Altos CA
George Conway - San Mateo CA

Assignee:

Lightwave Electronics Corporation - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

H01S 304

US Classification:

372 36, 372 34

Abstract:

A precision positioning mount for UV-cured adhesives that provides adhesive junctions between modular assembly mounts and structural elements. Contact edges are placed on a first fixating area of an adhesive junction. The contact edges are pronounced edges of faces that slide along a second fixating area during the adjustment process. Thus, the assembly modules and structural elements are precisely referenced before, during and after their positioning and orientating. First and second fixating areas form a cavity that provides a volume for the adhesive. The mounts and structural elements are preferably made of sapphire for increased thermal conductivity. The elements of the assembly mounts are modular and interchangeable and provide various positioning modes.

Appl. No.:

6/202891

Inventors:

George E. Conway - Newark CA

Assignee:

Beckman Instruments, Inc. - Fullerton CA

International Classification:

B04B 706
B04B 1508

US Classification:

233 1A

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a transparent safety cover for sealing the mouth of a pivotally mounted bucket of a centrifuge rotor. The cover has a first surface configured to make telescoping engagement with the sidewall of the rotor bucket. A shoulder adjacent the first surface abuts the top of the bucket to limit the length of engagement. The first surface has an annular groove containing a resilient O-ring which makes a seal between the cover and the bucket. In the upper portion of the cover, there is a raised dome-like structure with a circular aperture at the top. The aperture has inverted conical walls and is sealed by a movable, resilient, sealing plug. The plug has a tapered body and at the lower portion thereof, are wall gripping means for retaining the plug in a raised, unseated, position. With the plug in the unseated position, the bucket is vented to the atmosphere permitting telescoping movement of the cover with respect to the bucket. Additional means are provided to block inadvertent withdrawal of the plug from the aperture.

International Classification:

B04B 1502

US Classification:

494 20

Abstract:

A liner for use in a centrifuge rotor bucket for converting a single cavity bucket into a multicavity bucket to provide separate support for at least two flexible fluid sample containers. The liner has a separation ridge which defines at least two areas in the liner, but allows maximum space for receipt of the flexible containers. Handle means are attached to the liner to provide ease in the removal and insertion of the liner into the rotor bucket.
