A flow cell apparatus, useful in an apparatus for measuring particles suspended in a liquid, comprises a sample liquid, supply device, a sheath liquid supply device, a flow cell which has a flow passage passing through a transparent measuring portion, and a nozzle for causing the sample liquid, from the supply device to flow in the flow passage of the flow cell. The nozzle has at least one discharge port which is disposed in the flow passage in a spaced relation from the inner wall of the flow cell flow passage. The sheath liquid supply device causes the sheath liquid to flow around the nozzle discharge port and surround the sample liquid flow to form a sheath flow. The flow passage of the flow cell and the nozzle are so formed as to ensure a sample liquid flow of a fixed width through the measuring portion. A stable sample flow having a fixed width can be formed in the measuring portion even when the flow is at a high velocity, and particles in the sample liquid can efficiently be photographed with high accuracy.

In order to provide an apparatus for chemical analysis capable of eliminating time consuming changing connections of flow paths and analytical elements, and of operating for analysis without any special knowledge, the apparatus for chemical analysis comprises a main body of analytical apparatus provided with sampling device for sucking sample, liquid controller for transferring the sucked sample and reagents, and detector for measuring the sample, and analytical unit provided with a liquid connector and a signal connector for connecting to the main body of analytical apparatus, and memory storing at least analytical method, and analysis of the sample is performed by attaching and fixing the analytical unit to said main body of analytical apparatus, transferring at least analytical method stored in the memory to the main body of analytical apparatus, and analyzing the sample in accordance the said analytical method.

Apparatus for chemical analysis with detachable analytical units

In a free piston type oscillating compressor, closed spaces separate from gas springs are provided, and pressures of the closed spaces are regulated, whereby the amplitude, and central position of the stroke, of a free piston can be precisely controlled.

Piston stroke control device for free piston type oscillating compressors

A screw compressor including a male rotor and a female rotor forming a pair, a rotor casing enclosing the pair of rotors and cooperating therewith to define a working chamber for compressing gas, a suction port and a discharge port formed in a suction cover and a discharge cover respectively provided to the rotor casing, a slide valve mounted at one part of the rotor casing for axial movement to return gas from the working chamber to the suction side of the compressor, a radial discharge port formed in the slide valve, and an axial discharge port formed in the discharge cover and smaller in size than the radial discharge port. The slide valve is formed therein with at least one gas flow passageway for communicating the working chamber with the discharge port only when the compressor operates in a controlled capacity mode.
