Принадлежит: General Atomics Corp

A bioreactor is provided for circulating a fluid medium. To reduce manufacturing and maintenance expenses, the bioreactor is formed from two sheets of transparent plastic. Structurally, each sheet has first and second edges extending in an axial direction between proximal and distal ends. To form the bioreactor, the sheets are sealed to one another along their respective first edges, distal ends, and second edges. Also, the sheets are sealed to one another along an axially-extending boundary positioned between the first and second edges. As a result, a substantially U-shaped channel is defined between the first and second sheets. Further, two side-by-side openings to the channel are defined by the proximal ends of the sheets. Also, the bioreactor includes a conduit interconnecting the first opening and the second opening. A pump is positioned in the conduit to circulate the fluid medium through the channel.

SELF-ROLLING ADHESIVE FILM

Номер: US20130220532A1
Автор: Kawanishi Michirou, KIUCHI Kazuyuki, Nishio Akinori
Принадлежит: NITTO DENKO CORPORATION

An easily detachable adhesive film, which is deformed into a cylindrical shape by heating to facilitate collection, fails to be sufficiently bonded to the surface of a workpiece, if the surface of the adhesive layer is roughened by the presence of irregularities. Because of this, when water penetrates in dicing, the adhesive layer peels off from the surface of the workpiece and may fail to achieve a surface-protection purpose. In addition, when the easily detachable adhesive film is deformed into a cylindrical shape by heating, detachment stress may not uniformly applied to a workpiece, with the result that the film cannot be smoothly deformed into a cylindrical shape; at the same time, a larger amount of glue remains in the surface of a workpiece than a conventional peel-detachment. A self-rolling adhesive film composed of a multi-layered substrate including at least one thermal contraction film, an adhesive layer and a separator, in which the surface of the adhesive layer after the separator is detached has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of 1.0 μm or less. 1.
