Abstract: The invention relates to a gas sensor (A) which is adapted for evaluating the contents of a gas sample enclosed in a cavity (2) or a gas cell (1). The gas sensor has the form of a block in which the wall or wall-parts of a gas cell or cavity have highly light-reflective properties, designated mirror surfaces (11A, 12A). The cavity (2) has an opening (2a) for incoming light rays which are reflected in the cavity a predetermined number of times such as to create an optical analysis path before being caused to pass through an opening (6) for outgoing light rays, such reflections being achieved with the aid of three opposing, concave light-reflecting wall-parts (11, 12, 13). A first of the light-reflecting wall-parts (11) has the shape of part of an ellipsoid. A second (12) and a third (13) of the light-reflecting wall-parts have a common shape conforming to part of an ellipsoid. The focal points (11a, 11b) for the first light-reflecting wall-part (11) are disposed in or close to mirror surfaces (12A, 13A) for the second (12) and the third (13) wall-parts. A focal point (12a) for the second wall-part (12) and a focal point (13a) for the third wall-part (13) are located in or close to the mirror surface (11a) of the first wall-part (11).

Abstract: Purified proteins, DNA sequences that code on expression therefore and recombinant DNA molecules, including hosts transformed therewith for transforming coffee plants to suppress the expression of enzymes necessary for ethylene synthesis. The DNA sequences and recombinant DNA molecules are characterized in that they code on expression for the enzymes ACC synthase or ACC oxidase that are elements of the pathway for ethylene biosynthesis in coffee plants. Coffee plants are tansformed with vectors containing ACC synthase and/or with ACC oxidate DNA sequences that code on expression for the respective mRNA that is antisense to the mRNA for ACC synthase and/or ACC oxidase. The resulting antisense mRNA binds to XMI mRNA, thereby inactivating the mRNA encoding one or more enzymes in the pathway for ethylene synthesis. The described DNA sequences can also be used to block synthesis of ACC synthase or ACC oxidate using co-suppression. The result in either event is that the transformed plants are incapable of synthesizing ethylene, though other aspects of their metabolism is not affected.

Abstract: An electrical actuator (11) comprising a first actuator body (13) and a second actuator body (17) which is pivotable relative to the first actuator body (13) about an axis of rotation (19). One of the actuator bodies (17) is provided with a permanent main magnet (23). The other actuator body (13) is provided with electrical energizing means (33) for exerting an electromagnetic torque (TEM) on the second actuator body (17) and with a permanent auxiliary magnet (73, 75) for exerting a magnetostatic torque (TMS) on the second actuator body (17). Said magnetostatic torque (TMS) keeps the second actuator body (17) in a rest position, whereas the electromagnetic torque (TEM) will pivot the second actuator body (17) through a limited angle of rotation (ζ) relative to the first actuator body (13). According to the invention, the permanent auxiliary magnet (73, 75) has an axial length (LAM) which is smaller than an axial length (LAB) of the actuator body (13) provided with the auxiliary magnet (73, 75). In this manner, the magnetostatic torque (TMS) is reduced to a value sufficient for preventing disturbances of the rest position of the second actuator body (17) which may arise as a result of external loads on the second actuator body (17). The actuator (11) is applied in a throttle device for actuating a throttle valve (7) in the air inlet of an internal-combustion engine.

Abstract: An overrunning clutch assembly including first and second ring-shaped clutch members with face surfaces disposed in opposing relation and with at least one rigid strut disposed therebetween for movement to engage recessed pockets in the opposed surfaces upon rotation in one direction and for movement out of engagement with the pockets in at least one of the face surfaces upon relative rotation in the opposite direction. A retaining member permanently retains the clutch in assembled relation and cooperates with the ring-shaped clutch members to form a lubricant reservoir maintaining the struts in a lubricant bath during operation. The retaining member forms a weir over which the lubricant flows from the reservoir at a radial location to assure that the struts remain submerged during operation.

Abstract: A self-service deposit terminal (10) is arranged to
authenticate bank notes by exposing them to ultra-violet
(UV) light which causes forged notes comprising wood-based
paper to fluoresce. Each note (36) is individually
transported between a UV light tube (38) and a first
photo-diode (40). The level of light emitted by the UV
light tube is monitored by a second photo-diode (52).
The amplified output of this second photo-diode acts as a
threshold value. The amplified outputs of both photodiodes
are applied to a Schmitt trigger (60) which
outputs a high signal if the tested note is judged to
fluoresce and a low signal if it does not. The output of
the Schmitt trigger (60) is applied to a data processing
means (24) which determines either solely on this output,
or in conjunction with the output from other validation
means, whether the tested note is genuine or not.

Abstract: In a satellite telecommunications system, a mobile user terminal (4a) selects
the cell through which a communications channel is to be provided on the
basis of power measurements on a BCCH broadcast channel associated

cause the user terminal to select a cell through which communications are
not supportable. By increasing the transmitted BCCH power associated
with the correct cell, through which communications are supportable, and
decreasing the BCCH power in the erroneously selected cell, the user
terminal is encouraged to make the correct choice.
