Patent EP-0918714-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GARCIA DOUGLAS J
IPC: G01R31/01
Filed: 1997-06-12
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for loading and positioning of elongate terminated electronic components include a load plate having vertical slots extending therethrough, the slots being spaced apart at regular intervals and each slot having parallel opposing sidewalls. Components are positioned and retained in the load plate slots with the long axes of the components in an orientation transverse to the upper surface of the load plate. At a predetermined time, each component is allowed to drop out of the slot and through a curved chute, the chute bending from an upper opening to a medial point and flaring outwardly from the medial point to a lower opening, and having a width at the medial point larger than the short axis of the component and a width at the lower opening slightly larger than the long axis of the component so that the component is rotated through about 90 DEG  on passage through the chute. As the component exits the bottom of the chute, it enters and is retained in a shallow rectangular pocket in a test plate. Because of the 90 DEG  rotation, the long axis of the component is oriented generally parallel to the upper surface of the test plate and is thus making the component available for testing and processing by conventional means.

Abstract: A multi-well assay plate structure (54) and assay apparatus and a method for performing chemical biochemical assays is described. The multi-well assay plate structure (54) defines a relatively shallow substantially enclosed space (71) above a plurality of wells (76), with the enclosed space (71) having an inlet (72) and an outlet (22) separate from the inlet. Fluid introduced via the inlet (72) flows into the space (71) and/or wells (76) by displacing air. Withdrawal of the fluid via the inlet (72) or outlet leaves fluid in the wells (76) allowing various tests to be performed. Various embodiments of the structure are described. The preferred arrangement embodies the structure on a transparent plastic disk which can be used with automatic fluid handling apparatus (80) and the results assessed using optical assessment apparatus (81). The apparatus can be used to perform a variety of assays but, in particular, biochemical/chemical assay, immunoassays and genetic (DNA) assays and it can be used in a laboratory for multiple sample testing or at a point-of-care, i.e. in a surgery or clinic.

Abstract: The present invention provides an internal combustion engine drive train actuating
assembly which includes a dual overhead cam shaft arrangement wherein a pair of
cam shafts is supported in the head section of the engine. One cam shaft is positioned
to actuate the intake and exhaust valves. The other cam shaft is dedicated to actuating
only the unit fuel injectors and is positioned relative to the injector actuating
rocker levers to contact only these rocker levers during engine operation. The rocker
lever-contacting lobes on the dedicated injector-actuating cam shaft are dimensionally
wider than has heretofore been possible, which allows the high fuel injection
pressures required to achieve optimum fuel economy and emissions while minimizing
hertz stresses on the cam shaft.

Title: Centrifuge with dismountable rotor and a device for the axial locking of the rotor on the drive shaft and rotor for such a centrifuge
Inventor: LETOURNEUR JEAN CLAUDE
IPC: B04B9/12
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: A centrifuge has a rotating driving head (2) fixed to a rotating shaft (43), a rotor (3) fixed to the driving head, a means (21) of coupling the driving head and the rotor in rotation, and a means of blocking axial movement on the shaft comprising a means of applying an axial force to a surface (9) of the rotor where the force increases with the rotational speed of the driving head. The means of applying an axial force to the rotor has at least two inertial masses (56) mounted on one end of the driving head symmetrically about its axis of rotation (42). Each mass can be moved between a position unblocking the rotor axially, in which the mass is retracted into the driving head, and a position blocking the rotor axially, depending on the speed of rotation of the head. In this position, the pressing part of the mass extends beyond the external radial surface (49) of the driving head and acts with a ramped surface (11) to a receiving opening (7) on the rotor. This ramped surface is inclined towards the inside of the opening and towards the pressing surface (9) of the rotor. The ramp is conical. At least one mass is held elastically from its retracted position to an initial blocking position. The pressing surface (9) and the holding surface (47) are conical and matched. At least one mass is a shock load to produce a resonant signal during the blocking. An Independent claim is included for a rotor for a centrifuge as above with a receiving opening for at least one end of a driving head, with a surface pressing against the holding surface and at least one ramp which acts with part of a mass, inclined towards the inside from the outside and towards the pressing surface.

Abstract: Describes a method of producing N,N'-diazole compounds, e.g. N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, by reacting in an inert solvent, e.g., toluene, a 1-unsubstituted 1H-azole compound, e.g., 1H-imidazole, and a dihalide compound, e.g., phosgene, in the presence of an organic base, e.g., a tertiary amine such as tri(n-butyl)amine. The molar ratio of the 1-unsubstituted 1H-azole compound to the dihalide compound may range from 1.7:1 to 2.3:1. The organic base: 1-unsubstituted 1H-azole compound molar ratio is 1:1 when the molar ratio of the 1-unsubstituted 1H-azole compound to the dihalide compound is less than 2:1. The organic base has a basicity greater than that of the 1-unsubstituted 1H-azole compound, and along with its hydrohalide salt is soluble in the inert solvent.

Abstract: A roll paper loading mechanism (2) for a printer (1) has a slide frame (25) attached to a first
cover frame (23), which opens and closes a top opening (22b) of a roll paper holding unit . This
first cover frame (23) pivots between open and closed positions in conjunction with the opening
and closing of a second cover frame (28). A platen roller (26) is held on an end of the slide frame
(25) in a manner enabling the platen roller (26) to turn. After the top opening (22b) of the roll
paper holding unit is closed by the first cover frame (23), the second cover frame (28) can pivot
independently. This independent pivoting motion of the second cover frame (28) causes the slide
frame (25) to slide forward to a position at which the platen roller (26) is positioned at an
opposed position with a constant gap to the print head (8). This arrangement increases the
sliding distance of the slide frame (25), and thereby reduces the pivot radius needed to fully open
the top opening (22b). As a result, the area above the top opening (22b) can be efficiently used
to position some other component. A roll paper loading mechanism whereby the opening and
closing mechanism for the roll paper holding unit can be compactly configured can thus be
provided for a printer.
