Date Jan. 26, 1996A process and device for preparing bivalves, in particular oysters, for opening. The process consists of partially opening the bivalve, then encircling the adductor muscle of the bivalve with a ring or similar, one part of which, designed for gripping, remains outside the bivalve valve, so that, when the bivalve is subsequently closed, the adductor muscle can be severed by pulling on the aforesaid gripping element. The device comprises a wire (1) shaped as a loop (12) to which a gripping element (2) is linked, to be inserted into the loop (12) after the latter has been placed around the adductor muscle (3) of the bivalve.

Abstract: The presence of A-protein in an abnormally large amount in a sample, such as blood, from an individual is diagnostic of primary or metastatic cancer in the individual. The presence of A-protein is most readily detected by immunological reaction of it with specific antibodies. A preferred procedure for detecting the presence of A-protein in samples is by a sandwich assay using two antibodies with different epitopic specificities for A-protein.

Date Feb. 13, 1997The cartridged ammunition comprises a projectile (11) and a cartridge case (10) receiving the latter. The cartridge case (10) contains a cartridge (12) limiting a high-pressure space (21) in which a propelling charge (14) is located. The cartridge (12) is surrounded by a low-pressure space (10a) limited by the inside walls of the cartridge case (10) and a part of the base of the projectile (11). At the rear of the projectile (11) a tracer composition (11b) is arranged in a tube (27) which protrudes through the upper wall of the cartridge (12) into the high-pressure space (21). Projectile and cartridge case are interconnected via a rated breaking point (12d). The pressure for expelling the projectile (11) from the cartridge case is supplied by the pressure both in the high-pressure space (21) and in the low-pressure space (10a). Upon expulsion the volume of the high-pressure space (21) is furthermore enlarged when the tracer composition is pulled out thereof. These measures avoid steep pressure peaks in the march of pressure upon expulsion of the projectile. At the same time, approximately the entire projectile volume is available for a service charge.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for determining the concentration of an analyte present in a sample using multi-spectral analysis in the near-infrared (NIR) range. Incident radiation containing a plurality of distinct, nonoverlapping spectral regions of wavelengths in the near-infrared range is used to irradiate the sample. Diffusively reflected radiation emerging from the sample is detected, and a value indicative of the concentration of the analyte is obtained therefrom, preferably using an application of chemometrics techniques. Information obtained from each of the nonoverlapping spectral regions of wavelengths can be cross-correlated to remove background interference.

Abstract: A single ended forward DC-to-DC converter includes a transformer having a primary winding electrically connected to a primary switch and a secondary winding electrically connected to a secondary switch and a clamping capacitor. The clamping capacitor stores the magnetization energy from the secondary winding when the primary switch is turned off, thus causing the transformer core to be reset during the period that the primary switch remains off. The converter can use mosfets as the primary and secondary switches, such that a change in the voltage at the secondary winding of the transformer, due to the turning off of the primary switch, results in an automatic turning on of the secondary switch. The combination of the clamping capacitor and the mosfet switches increases the simplicity of the DC-to-DC converter while eliminating undesirable characteristics such as dead time and voltage stresses on the switches. The DC-to-DC converter of the present invention can be used to carry out synchronous rectification and zero voltage switching.

Abstract: A system for automatically refilling the patient breathing circuit of an anesthesia system wherein the system detects the existence of a large leak in the patient breathing system and reduces the flow of the fresh gas to the patient circuit to minimize the amount of gas that is vented to the atmosphere. As the leak is corrected, the system automatically detects that the leak has been alleviated and increases the fresh gas flow to a high flow to refill the patient breathing circuit in a rapid time. Upon refill, the system detects that the circuit and the system has been refilled and automatically reduces the fresh gas flow back to a lower level desired by the clinician to maintain the anesthesia. The fresh gas flow used to refill the patient circuit is the same composition of gases and anesthetic agent as initially set by the clinician.
