Abstract: A reaction vessel for a nucleic acid amplification reaction has a first chamber
containing an amplification reagent mix, a second chamber containing an amplification
enzyme, and a fluid channel or chamber connecting the first and second chambers together.
A fluid sample is introduced into the first chamber. After a denaturation and primer
annealing process has occurred in the first chamber, the fluid chamber is opened to allow the
solution of the reagent and fluid sample to flow into the second chamber. The second
chamber is maintained at an optimal temperature for the amplification reaction.

Abstract: A signal processing circuit is provided for an electro-optic probe,
which is used to perform testing of a printed-circuit board of high-speed
processing. When laser beams are incident on the electro-optic probe
which is brought into contact with the printed-circuit board, they are
changed in polarization and are then converted to electric signals. The
electric signals are amplified and are then subjected to analog-to-digital
conversion to produce digital data. The laser beams (or optical pulses) are
generated based on sampling pulses used for sampling of the analog-to-digital
conversion. Herein, the sampling pulses are created based on a
sweep signal and a step-like signal. The sweep signal increases in level
with a certain slope and then decreases suddenly in one period of a trigger
pulse signal. The step-like signal increases in level in a step-like manner,
wherein it is increased by a predetermined level in response to each of the
sampling pulses. A comparator produces a pulse signal consisting of pulses,
each of which appears when the sweep signal coincides with the step-like
signal in levels. Then, a mask circuit allows output of only the necessary
pulses of the comparator as the sampling pulses. An image display circuit
stores a plurality of digital data therein, which are then rearranged in an
order so that an image representing a measurement result is displayed.

Abstract: A cylinder head structure for an engine, including grooves (18;
12a) in a top surface (2; 2a) of a cylinder head body (1; 1a)
such that they surround an associated a fuel injection nozzle
hole (11; 8a). Valve tappet guide holes (6; 3a) are also formed
in the top surface (2; 2a) of the cylinder head body (1; 1a)
around each of the fuel injection nozzle holes (11; 8a). The
grooves (18; 12a) connect the adjacent tappet guide holes (6; 3a)
and surround the associated nozzle or spark plug hole. Cylinder
head bolt holes (15; 9a) are also formed around the tappet guide
holes (6; 3a). When cylinder head bolts are tightened to join
the cylinder head with a cylinder block, a radiant tension ( F ) is
generated from the cylinder head bolt heads which are in
contact with the cylinder head top surface. This radiant tension
would cause cracking around the injection nozzle hole (11; 8a).
The grooves (18; 12a) interrupt transmission of the radiant
tension to the vicinity of the injection nozzle hole to prevent
occurrence of cracking.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pulsation suppression
device which is interposingly used in a liquid transporting
pipe through which a chemical liquid such as a surface washing
liquid for washing an IC is transported by a reciprocal pump.
The pulsation suppression device of the invention has: a bellows
(5) which partitions the interior of the device body (1)
having a sealed container-like shape, into a liquid chamber
(3) and an gas chamber (4); an operating rod (11) which is
reciprocated in interlock relationship with the bellows (5);
and an extension and contraction restricting mechanism (51)
which, when the bellows (5) extends to a predetermined value,
is contacted in parallel with a closed end face (5b) of the
bellows, thereby restricting further extension of the bellows
(5). Furthermore, the pulsation suppression device of the
invention has a guide (21) for making the reciprocal operation
of the operating rod (11) coincident with the extension and
contraction directions of the bellows (5). The guide (21) is
made of a low-friction resin material. According to the invention,
pulsation due to the discharge pressure of the transported
liquid is absorbed and the amplitude of pulsation is
suppressed to a low level. According to the invention, moreover,
the bellows (5) used in the pulsation suppression device
is prevented from being damaged, and the pulsation suppression
function can be stabilized.

Abstract: It is known for a signal-strength detection unit to
be used to detect the ratio of the input signal to the
wanted signal obtained after it. A disadvantage in this
case is that interference elements, which are also
amplified, not only corrupt the output signal of the
signal-strength detection unit, but can also adversely
affect the quality of the wanted signal. 
     The invention is based on the object of providing a
method for improving the wanted signal in the receiving
unit of a communications system. 
     The method according to the invention for improving
the wanted signal in a radio receiving unit having a
channel filter, having a switch, having a control unit,
having a signal-strength detection unit and having
controllable amplifiers is distinguished in that the
control unit drives the switch in such a manner that the
switch alternately supplies a first signal upstream of
the channel filter and a second signal downstream from
the channel filter to the signal-strength detection unit,
and that the output signal of the signal-strength
detection unit is supplied to the control unit, and that
the amplifiers are driven as a function of the output
signal.

Abstract: A single-pole relay switch capable of effective arc extinction
irrespective of the current flowing directions in which the device is
connected in a circuit. The switch has a housing (10) and two sets of contacts (21,31;22,32)
located in the housing, each set being composed of a fixed contact and a
movable contact. A contact carrier (30) is provided to have first and second
movable arms which extend commonly from a bridge and are provided
respectively with the two movable contacts (31,32). An actuator (60) applies a driving
force to move the contact carrier (30) between an ON-position of holding the
movable contacts simultaneously in contact respectively with the fixed
contacts, and an OFF-position of keeping the movable contacts at
respective opening gaps from the fixed contacts. The housing (10) includes a
casing (40) which is divided into first and second chambers respectively for
receiving the contact sets, each of the first and second chambers being
surrounded by a dielectric wall. Permanent magnet means (50) are disposed around
the casing to stretch the individual arcs in opposing directions to each other
and towards the dielectric walls of the first and second chambers,
respectively. Thus, the individual arcs can be stretched individually
within the separate chambers, i.e., in an isolated condition. Therefore, the
individual arcs can be free from merging even when the current flows in
such a direction as to drive the arcs in the approaching direction.

roller set 114a,b in which the drive roller has a compliant film engagement
surface. The upstream nip roller set 102 exerts constant tensioning force on film
148 in the film scan gate 84 buffering the film in the film scan gate 84 against
variable tensioning effects on the film 148 caused by the film cartridge. A drive
motor is directly connected to the downstream drive roller set 120a,b and the
downstream roller set is drivingly connected to the upstream drive roller set
106a,b by an elastic drive belt 135. A differential compression force is exerted on
the pinch rollers 114a,b such that the force on the downstream pinch rollers is
greater than on the upstream pinch rollers thereby causing a film speed differential
between the upstream and downstream roller sets that maintains a desired degree
of tension on film transported through the film scan gate 84.
