Title: Rectangular transport pallet to be made of two interconnectible carton blanks
IPC: B65D19/34
Filed: 1985-11-14
Abstract: A corrugated cardboard pallet (1) is constructed essentially from two flat, rectangular blanks (2, 3), the first blank (2) of which forms two outer edge supports (21), which are open at the top, and a central likewise open bearing groove (22), while the second blank (3) has the form of a downwardly open U with a main surface (34) and two outer spacer portions (31) which engage in the edge supports (21) and have the same height as the latter. Loading grooves (41) and loading openings (42) are constructed on the pallet so that a device can be driven under it from all sides. In order to achieve a sufficient pallet stability for the most varied loading cases, in addition to the gluing of their main surfaces, the blanks are connected to one another positively by fixable support webs (32) and support tabs (28) and support flaps (36). <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0161107-A3 (EP)
IPC: G01N33/551
Filed: 1985-05-03
Abstract: Haptens may be determined by a competitive binding 
immunometric technique in which a sample of hapten to be 
determined is incubated in solution with a labeled antibody 
to the hapten and a conjugate of the said hapten, the protein 
present in the said conjugate being different from that bound 
to the hapten during raising of the antibody. The conjugate 
is conveniently immobilized by binding of a non-hapten ep­
itopes to an antibody which is linked to a solid support. The 
method may be calibrated by use of samples containing 
standard amounts of hapten.

Title: Method and apparatus for obtaining a water sample from the core of a boiling water reactor
IPC: G21C17/02
Filed: 1989-02-10
Abstract: In a boiling water reactor (R) for a nuclear 
power plant, provision is made to sample the core bypass 
region immediate the top guide (12) to determine the 
physical and chemical constituents of the moderating 
water. A conduit (50) for a local power range monitor is 
fitted with a measurement assembly (54). The conduit and 
measurement assembly are inserted up to the vicinity of 
the top guide (12). A tube (54) opening (60) is provided 
to the bypass region immediate the top guide. During 
reactor operation, the saturated liquid in this region is 
flashed (54,74, W drain) to a steam water mixture (18% 
steam) at constant enthalpy and is rapidly removed from 
the reactor to measuring equipment in the reactor 
building, the removal interval being in the range of 
4/10ths to 7/10ths of a second. During removal, the 
radiolytic disassociated gases (namely hydrogen and 
oxygen) partition to the steam phase where their 
recombination is retarded and accurate measurement of 
their constituent content can be made. Also, temperature 
of the steam water mixture decreases thereby preserving 
unstable species like hydrogen peroxide that degrade much 
more rapidly at high temperatures. In the reactor 
building, the gases are further cooled, condensed and 
divided with a first stream being diverted and cooled for 
detailed chemical analysis (84) and a second stream 
reheated and pressurized for measurement of 
electrochemical potential (90). A substantially real 
time measurement of the chemical state of the reactor to 
enable monitoring, measurement, and correction of harmful 
imbalance is provided.
