Title: Machine for the production of mineral fibres from a silicate melt
Inventor: KLOSE GERD-RUEDIGER
IPC: C03B37/05
Filed: 1995-01-25
Abstract: Machines for the production of mineral fibres from a silicate melt usually have several rotating rollers on to which the melt is fed. In order to design a machine in which the proportion of non-fibrous components in the product is significantly reduced, the fibre length and diameter distribution optimized and the fibre dwell time in the fibre-formation zone shortened, the invention proposes that the machine is fitted with a central large-diameter distributor roller with several small-diameter fibre-forming rollers disposed around it and close to it, the fibre-forming rollers turning in the opposite direction to the distributor roller so that those parts of the surfaces of the fibre-forming rollers closest to the surface of the distributor roller move in the same direction. Located above the crown of the distributor roller is a vertical melt-discharge device with an outlet aperture which matches the length of the distributor roller.

Abstract: Disclosed is a reverse transcriptase composition having improved storage stability, comprising a reverse transcriptase, an effective stabilizing amount of at least one organic stabilizing reagent selected from trehalose and a nucleic acid containing a transcriptional initiation site recognizable by the enzyme, and an effective stabilizing amount of a metal salt capable of producing bivalent positive ions in an aqueous solution of the metal salt. Also disclosed is a method for improving storage stability of a reverse transcriptase, which comprises adding the above-mentioned organic stabilizing reagent and metal salt to a reverse transcriptase. The composition of the present invention can be stably stored for a prolonged period of time at a temperature up to at least 4 °C. Further, by virtue of a relatively high temperature usable for stable storage, the viscosity of the composition can be advantageously maintained at a low level, so that it becomes possible to accurately dispense the composition by a quantity corresponding to a desired enzyme activity, thereby achieving high reproducibility in experiments using the reverse transcriptase. Therefore, in the determination of a virus, in which a reverse transcriptase activity is used as an index, the composition of the present invention can be advantageously used as a standard substance for determining the amount of virus.

Title: Ratchet
Inventor: NAKAYAMA EIJI
IPC: B25B13/46
Filed: 1996-07-01
Abstract: The ratchet has a head (4) with shaft (42) and inset hand grip (8). A locking mechanism (82) permits two grip positions relative to the shaft. The ratchet mechanism has a holder with apertures (53) for one of a pair of roller bodies (93,94). These are tensioned into the apertures by roller body stop members (91,92), and tensioned against the members by springs (43). In each of two defined rotary positions between grip and shaft, one stop member is relieved, so that the associated roller body is forced away from the holder, and is not contained in its aperture. This causes the other stop member to press its roller body against the holder. A relative turning between head and holder causes a roller body to jump from one opening into the next one.
