Patent GB-2311960-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for rapid modelling
Inventor: PHILLIPS JOHN CLIFFORD
IPC: B29C67/00
Filed: 1997-04-11
Abstract: A model such as a sacrificial casting pattern or core can be rapidly and inexpensively produced by lamination of cellular structure sheet material e.g., polystyrene foam. The polystyrene sheet (23) may be roller fed (20) onto a vertically adjustable platform (11) for cutting e.g., by a laser (18) (Fig.2, not shown) to provide at least one cut out portion of required contour according to a predetermined control program. The cut out portion is also treated with adhesive such as by a hot melt spray applicator (19) (Fig.2, not shown) and the platform (11) is lowered to permit further feed of sheet material (23) over the underlying cut out. The platform (11) is then raised for adhesion of the cut out to the underside of the further sheet material (23) and to support the latter for cutting. This operation is repeated until the model is completed. Apertured scrap sheet material passes from the platform preferably onto a take-off roller (21). The laser (18) and adhesive applicator means (19) are shown carried by carriage means (15, 17) on a gantry (13) for orthogonal movement in two directions (14, 16) to provide their coordinated positioning movement according to the predetermined program.
Patent GB-2325046-A (GB)
Title: Damper mechanism
Inventor: MARANGOS RICHARD JAMES
IPC: F24F13/12
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: A damper mechanism (30) for use in an air conditioning/heating installation comprises a channel-section damper moveable between a first position in which the damper surrounds a heating coil (18) to separate the heating coil (18) from air flowing through a chamber or duct from which the heating coil is mounted, and a second position in which the damper is remote from the heating coil (18) so as to permit contact between the heating coil (18) and air flowing through the chamber or duct. In its first position, the damper (30) surrounds the heating coil (18) so that the heating coil (18) is received substantially completely within the channel-section damper (30). The edge of the damper (30) may be provided with sealing means (32) to engage the walls of the duct or chamber when the damper (30) is in its first position. The improved damper construction reduces the transmission of heat from the heating coil (18) to air passing through the system when it is in air conditioning mode.

Title: Solid phase plate assay using an immunoreagent immobilized on particles as a detector system
Inventor: NAKAYAMA MIKIO
IPC: G01N33/58
Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: A multi-well test plate is coated with a binding agent which binds a candidate analyte in a biological sample. The plate is then reacted with particles bearing an immunoreagent which binds to the analyte immobilized on the plate. Aggregation of particles indicating a positive reaction is assessed visually. In one embodiment protein A or protein G is immobilized on a plate and a serum sample is subsequently added. After rinsing, particles containing paragonimiasis antigen are added to the plate to detect corresponding serum-derived antibodies bound thereto. In another embodiment avidin is immobilized on plates and biotin conjugated anti-human IgG bound thereto. The assay then proceeds in the same way as for the protein A assay. Particles comprising a ceramic/polymer composite such as hydroxyapatite on nylon beads are described.
