Date Mar. 7, 1991A method and an apparatus for sectioning a specimen (9) by whereas the apparatus is a microtome. The microtome has at least one optical and one additional sensor (35-37) used for generating signals, the value of which is a measure of the sectioning function. At least one essential sectioning parameter, such as the clearance angle of the knife and/or the sectioning speed, is varied. On the basis of the signal values received, the sectioning parameters concerned are set for optimising the sectioning function. The optical sensor (37) senses greyness and/or surface structure of the sections produced. The other sensors are used e.g. for sensing sound (sensor 35) dependent on the sectioning force or work, or stresses in the knife of the microtome (sensor 36) that are dependent on the sectioning force or work.

Abstract: A method of coating to produce a two-layer, vibration-absorbing and anti-corrosive, abrasion-resistant coating for rigid substrates, in particular for sheet metals in the underbody region of motor vehicles, for reducing the noise caused by impacting particles, comprises an inner layer, facing the substrate, of a polymer A and a plasticizer P1, and a covering layer of a polymer B and a plasticizer P2, such that either the polymers A and B have a different chemical composition and the polymer A is essentially incompatible with the plasticizer P2 and the polymer B is essentially incompatible with the plasticizer P1, or both layers contain essentially the same concentration of one plasticizer (P1=P2), so that there is no risk of one layer being impaired by the plasticizer from the other layer.

Abstract: An apparatus for the reading/writing of credit cards (5) is to be simple and secure against fraud. Arranged in a housing (2) in such an apparatus is a carriage (3) which can be displaced from a first end position into a second end position. A card receiver (6), which can likewise be displaced, is arranged in the carriage (3). Means (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) are available which convert a relative movement of the carriage (3) with respect to the housing (2) into a relative movement of the card receiving device (6) with respect to the carriage (3). A credit card (5) inserted into the apparatus is drawn into the carriage (3) by manual pressure thereon, and is sealed inaccessibly from the user by a flap (20) during a reading and writing operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to retain elements (16) of the spine and/or pelvis in a desired spatial relationship. A plurality of fasteners (20) are connected with a plurality of the elements. A longitudinal member (26) is connected with the fasteners by a plurality of connector members (32). The longitudinal member and fasteners are movable relative to each other to adjust the distance between the longitudinal member and fasteners to thereby obtain the desired spatial relationship between the longitudinal member and elements to which the fasteners are connected. Once the longitudinal member and fasteners have been positioned in the desired spatial relationship, clamps (44, 50) are engaged to hold the longitudinal member, fasteners and connector members against relative movement. To provide for the adjustability of the longitudinal member relative to the fasteners, oblong openings (38) are formed in the connector members. In one specific method of adjusting the position of the longitudinal member relative to the fasteners, the longitudinal member is rotated about an axis which extends through a portion of the longitudinal member. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for treatment of caustic sulfide liquor by wet oxidation in a nickel-based alloy system is described in which the liquor is first analyzed for alkalinity consuming species and for nonsulfidic alkalinity. If excess alkalinity consuming species is present compared to nonsulfidic alkalinity, then additional nonsulfidic alkalinity is added to the raw liquor such that excess alkalinity is present during wet oxidation treatment, thus preventing excessive corrosion to the nickel-base alloy system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Existing systems typically provide a single dose of an aerosol, whereafter a capsule is thrown away, which is harmful to the environment. Inhaler devices, for instance for CNSLD patients, wherein at each inhalation a capsule is placed therein, are frequently used in practice. Inhaler devices for several doses are still only commercially available on a limited scale. There are problems with these known inhaler devices in respect of their manageability and size, the required suction force on a mouth or nose piece and/or the accuracy of dosing. Known inhaler devices for several dosed are awkward to use and/or consist of a relatively large number of components, whereby manufacture becomes time-consuming and expensive. Such an inhaler device is known from EP-A-211595. The present invention provides a device for inhaling an aerosol, comprising:     a reservoir for storing a supply of medium for inhaling; an inhaling piece for sucking air along a dose of medium for inhaling; and transporting means for transporting a dose of medium for inhaling out of the reservoir, wherein a whirl chamber is incorporated in the inhaling piece for taking the medium into the indrawn air with only a small suction force.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: An improved assay of target components in a sample utilizes specific gravity-altering particles which are attached to the target components by specific antibodies. The attached specific gravity-altering particles are preferably liposomes which will buoy or sink the targets to a common level in the specimen sample when the latter has been centrifuged in a transparent tube. The liposomes can provide an accentuated and more pronounced indication of the presence of the targets in the sample due to their ability to contain many multiples of fluorescent or non-fluorescent dye molecules with minimal steric interference with the attached antibodies' binding ability. <IMAGE>
