Title: Method for the measurement of antigens and antibodies
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 1978-05-30
Abstract: In the process, a quantitative determination of antigens and/or antibodies can be carried out. In the course of this, antibody- or antigen-sensitised insoluble carrier particles having an average diameter of at most 1.6  mu m are reacted with the corresponding antigen or antibody or a mixture thereof in a sample. The reaction mixture is irradiated with a radiation of a wavelength of 0.6 to 2.4 mu m and a measurement of the absorbance or the percentage absorption of the reaction mixture is performed. In this way, antigens and antibodies, in particular even in an extremely small concentration, can be rapidly determined with high precision and with good reproducibility.

Title: Improvements in or relating to interrogation-reply systems
IPC: G01S13/78
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1300698 Radar SIEMENS AG 19 April 1971 [6 Feb 1970] 24111/71 Headings H4D and H4L An aircraft secondary radar system and responder protected against interference from an enemy, is interrogated by a friendly station by means of a code which changes from one interrogation to the next (2nd row) Fig. 6 accordingtoapattern known to both station and responder and replies to the correct code with a coded response, the code of which (3rd row) Fig. 6 also changes according to a mutually known pattern. A crypto computer 3 Fig. 1 supplies the series of interrogation codes to stores S2Z, S1Z, SG, S1V, S2V; a code passing from one store to the next at the end of an interrogation period. Store SG holds the code expected at the present time, stores S2Z, S1Z respectively hold the codes expected two and one interrogation periods in the future; and stores S1V, S2V respectively hold the codes which should have been received one and two interrogation periods previously. The computer 3 similarly supplies the response codes to "in the future" stores to present store SG<SP>1</SP> and to immediately past store S1V<SP>1</SP>. The contents of the interrogation code stores S2Z ... S2V are compared with the incoming code at 4 in comparators K22 ... K2V An agreement causes the respective one of the comparators to feed an enabling signal to the corresponding AND gate UG1Z ... UG1V and the corresponding response code is transmitted at 5. If the computer 3 is in advance of the corresponding computer in the interrogating station, the incoming interrogation code will possibly be the same as that in stores S1V or S2V. The resultant signal from comparator K1Y or K2V is fed to a correction unit 2 for resynchronism of the computer 3. The connection of comparator K1V to AND gate UG1V esures that the interrogator receives the response code he is expecting. A similar computer correction takes place if the computer 3 is lagging either comparator K1Z or K2Z giving the correction output. In an alternative embodiment Fig. 2 (not shown) a monitor unit (14) receiving the outputs of all the comparators determines the average by or lead over a period and avoids interference by an enemy retransmitting interrogation codes he has received. An analysis of the allowable deviation is synchronism between interrogator and responder is given, Figs. 3a, 3b, 4, 5 (not shown). The interrogation pulse repetition frequency may be varied to further avoid enemy interference or jamming.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fabric tensioning devices for knitting machines
Inventor: KENT ALFRED WOODWARD
IPC: D04B15/88
Filed: 1955-08-24
Abstract: 848,322. Knitting-machines. BENTLEY ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. Aug. 24,1956 [Aug. 24, 1955], No. 24360/55. Class 74 (2). Fabric-engaging members, e.g. in two sets of members 7, 8, are mounted in a circumferentia row around the inside of the needle cylinder mouth, adjacent to the needles and between fabric and cylinder wall, and are moved, each in a closed path, to engage and grasp the exterior of the fabric tube as it is delivered from the needles and to apply withdrawal tension thereto. The members are carried in slots 6b in a cage 6 rotating with the needle cylinder and are moved away from the fabric, upwardly, towards the fabric and downwardly. One member of each set is carried in each slot 6b and the two sets are operated, in out-of-phase relationship, by upper and lower cam races acting in correspondinglypositioned T-slots 7b, 8b in the members. One section of each cam race is made in two parts which may be moved together and removed from the T-slots, wherafter members 7, 8 may be inserted or removed. The member carrying the cam races is mounted with a tube 13 held against normal forward rotation by a spring-urged pawl. When the pawl and its coating slot are as at 15, 13a, Fig. 3, the cam-race may rotate during reverse strokes of the machine, so that the fabric tensioning members are then inoperative. When the pawl and slot are as at 42, 13b, Fig. 16, the members 7, 8 follow their paths, but in the reverse direction, during the backward stroke of the needle cylinder; but the inclination of fabric-engaging bristles on the members ensures that the fabric will still be urged away from the needles. Should the members 7, 8 tend to jam, the appropriate one of divergent faces 13c, 13d of the slot will cam the nose 13d out of engagement with its slot. The members 7, 8 may bear bristles (e.g. of hair, wire or nylon) or strips of material or artificial rubber bearing projections, or natural or artificial fur. They may operate each in turn, in groups, or all at once and may operate once or more than once per course (e.g. at each knitting-point of a multifeed machine or between the knitting-points, or both). The extent of movement of the members may be variable, as by cams having adjustable throw, to allow for variations in the amount of fabric made. A drum-controlled welt presser 25 is withdrawn clear of the needles (dotted line position) when making heels and toes and finishing each stocking, but is released, after the dial jacks have taken their welt loops, to be pressed by a spring upon these loops, to take the newly made fabric 40 in towards the members 7, 8. The presser moves in until in the full-line position, when its nose 25A is above the highest part of the members 7, 8. After welt formation, the presser is withdrawn to the chain-line position, to facilitate subsequent operations such as half-round splicing, and remains operative throughout round-and-round knitting.

Filed: 1925-09-30
Abstract: 240,839. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Merrill, W. L.). Sept. 30, 1924, [Convention date]. Casings.-The heat contained in hot gases passing outwards through bushings from the interior of electrical apparatus into an explosive atmosphere is extracted by filling the bushing with a heat-absorptive granular material. Fig. 2 shows the application to a bushing for the leads of an electric motor. The armoured lead 5 emerges from the motor casing 1 through a metal tube 6 brazed or welded at 7 to the casing. The tube is closed at each end by a cap 8 centrally perforated so as to leave a space 12 between the cap and the lead for the passage of the hot gases from inside the casing. The filling 10 consists of non-oxidizing metal filings, pebbles, sand or other granular material which will cool the gas and which is prevented from passing through the openings 12 by end packings 11 of asbestos. The emerging gases are so far cooled as to be incapable of igniting the surrounding gases, for example the combustible atmosphere in mines. Specifications 1779/91 and 104,253 are referred to.
