20130057248 | ON-LOAD TAP CHANGER - The invention relates to an on-load tap changer for step transformers, which has one main current branch and one auxiliary current branch for each of the two winding taps to be switched. In each main current branch and auxiliary current branch, switching is accomplished by means of a vacuum switching tube. According to the invention, an additional mechanical contact is provided in each of the main current branches and in each of the auxiliary current branches between the respective winding tap to which said branch is electrically connected and the respective vacuum switching tube in said branch. Said mechanical contacts are switched in such a way that the vacuum switching tubes in the main current branch and the auxiliary current branch of the unconnected winding tap can be galvanically isolated from the unconnected winding tap. | 03-07-2013 |
20130112541 | LOAD TRANSFER SWITCH FOR A TAP CHANGER - The present invention relates to a load transfer switch for a tap changer, comprising permanent main contacts that switch powerlessly for each phase.

20120270209 | SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR SPECIFIC CAPTURE AND RELEASE OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLE COMPONENTS - Living cells can be selectively and reversibly bound to functionalized dissolvable material (e.g., cross-linked hydrogel compositions) and subsequently released from the composition as viable cells. In some examples, the cells are released by reducing the degree of cross-linking within a functionalized hydrogel composition and/or dissolving the functionalized hydrogel composition bound to the cells. The functionalized hydrogel compositions can be adhered to silicon- and silicon-oxide containing surfaces, such as glass and aminated silicon. The living cells can be isolated from biological samples, such as blood, by selectively binding certain cells from the sample to the functionalized hydrogel, removing unbound cells and later releasing viable bound cells from the functionalized hydrogel. | 10-25-2012 |
