Abstract: Metallic silver is deposited upon the surface of a nonconducting substrate using a multi-step wet deposition process. The surface is cleaned, and then activated in an aqueous solution containing stannous tin. The silver is deposited as a colloidal material from an aqueous solution of a silver-containing salt, a reduction agent that reduces the salt to form the metallic silver, and a deposition control agent that prevents the silver from nucleating throughout the solution. After the substrate is coated, the coating is stabilized in an aqueous solution of a salt of a metal from the platinum group or gold, dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid. The process is particularly effective for depositing uniform films of 2 to 2000 Angstroms thickness, which strongly adhere to the substrate.

Abstract: A rolling or folding doorway shutter, for use e.g. in an industrial or commercial building, consists of vertical supports (1,2) on either side of the doorway, connected by a cross member (3) at the top. Each support contains a slider guide for the door shutter (4) which is roller or folded at the top. The shutter is reinforced by a number of horizontal bars (5) which have their ends moving in the sliders. At least one of the bars has a flexible section (e.g. spring-loaded and telescopic) which enables it to jump out of the slider in the event of an abnormal transverse effort being applied to it, without creating any permanent deformation in the bar which might ultimately affect the operation of the shutter. The bar's flexibility can be provided in the centre or at one or both ends, and the slider containing the flexible bar can have a branched track to allow for the replacement of the bar once it has been deformed.

Abstract: A sorter with a body member passageway has analysis, pre-analysis and post analysis portions for particles. An elongate catcher tube carried on the body member, and mounted with its axis to be selectively aligned with the analysis portion for intermittently receiving analyzed particles. An operator receives a signal from the analysis portion relative to one or more particle characteristics and selectively aligns the catcher tube in fluid communication with the analysis portion. The signal is an electrical pulse of strength and timing sufficient to cause a driver mounted to the body member and associated with the catcher tube to align the catcher for sorting particles. A resilient support attaches the catcher tube to the body member and provides a pivot for the catcher tube. A method for sorting includes generating a signal representative of one or more characteristics of the particles and applying the signal to a driver to change the position of the catcher tube. <IMAGE>

The upper sheet (4) and base layer (2) are mutually adhesive under pressure applied to the label by a writing implement on the upper sheet. Writing on the upper sheet (3) causes it to adhere to the base layer (2) in the localised region of writing where the colour of the base layer (2) is visible through the upper sheet (3) in contrast. The upper sheet (3) is held relative to the base layer (2) such that by wiping a user's finger or thumb over the top surface of the label the upper sheet (3) may be moved relative to the base layer (2) to erase the label. At least one wrinkle (9) in the upper sheet may be moved along the upper sheet, or the upper sheet may be moved elastically, to erase by wiping a user's finger or thumb over the surface of the label.

Abstract: A photodetection system and related circuitry designed to sense the intrusion of an opaque object in a light plane. Upon sensing the intrusion, the system quickly initiates a machine-stopping sequence prior to the opaque object coming into contact with the machine while that machine is operating. The system comprises a SYSTEM microcontroller (1) and a WATCHDOG microcontroller (2), both of which operate an output control device (11) of the light curtain switch of the invention, wherein the output control device (11) comprises a plurality of electromechanical relays. Both microcontrollers also perform system hardware and software integrity checks. Furthermore, the WATCHDOG microcontroller (2) evaluates the performance of the SYSTEM microcontroller (1) by transmitting a false intrusion signal to a photosource, determining whether the false signal has been detected, and then verifying that the SYSTEM microcontroller (1) has initiated the machine-stopping sequence. The machine-stopping sequence may be overridden by the WATCHDOG microcontroller (2), or it may be initiated if the false signal is not detected. The combination of electronic, mechanical, and optical modules of the present invention provides improved reliability and accuracy. In addition, the SYSTEM microcontroller (1) and the WATCHDOG microcontroller (2) are designed so as to reduce the system's sensitivity to spurious signals. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention presents novel assay methods employing a capture reagent, involving a first binding member typically conjugated to a polymeric anion substance, and a solid phase material containing a reaction site comprising a polymeric cation substance having a nitrogen content of at least about two percent. In one embodiment a test sample suspected of containing the analyte of interest may be contacted with the capture reagent to form a charged capture reagent/analyte complex. The complex is then contacted to the oppositely charged solid phase to attract, attach, and immobilize the capture reagent/analyte complex. The use of a polycationic substance, having a nitrogen content of at least about two percent (excluding the counter ions), to prepare a suitably charged solid phase provides a solid phase that can be subjected to a greater extent of manipulation, such as multiple washes, without losing the capability to attract and retain the capture reagent.
