Abstract: A method of measuring the surface configuration of a liquid surface, e.g. to measure surface tension. Liquid samples are confined in wells, e.g. of a multi-well microtitle plate, and a light beam is passed through the sample offset from the centre of the well. The intensity of the reflected or transmitted light beam is dependent upon the angle of incidence with the liquid surface, which varies with changes in surface tension of the liquid. Thus measurement of the reflected or transmitted intensity can be used as a measurement of the surface tension The method can also be used to measure viscosity by agitating the sample and measuring the rate of change of curvature of the sample surface during or after agitation. The method is also applicable to measuring surfaces other than liquids, e.g. of a membrane being deformed under pressure where, again the angle of incidence of a light beam on the membrane varies with deformation of the membrane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composite membrane ( 1 ) consisting of a flat support body ( 2 ) comprising relative big through flow holes ( 3 ) and on which at least one separating layer is applied as a membrane layer ( 4 ) having a given number of pores and pore sizes. In order to regulate the temperature of the support body, said support body ( 2 ) is connected to a device ( 5 ) that can be regulated by a regulating device (S) with the purpose of supplying a predetermined energy to the support body ( 2 ) and/or diverting energy from the support body ( 2 ). The membrane layer ( 4 ) is applied on the support body ( 2 ) in a heat-conductive manner so that any change in the temperature of the support body provokes a change in the temperature of the membrane layer. The membrane layer ( 4 ) consists of at least one temperature-dependent, expanding membrane material that includes pores and/or defines pores so that the size of the pores can be changed and regulated by means of the regulatable body temperature and, hence, by means of the indirectly regulatable temperature of the membrane layer as a result of the expansion-temperature sensitivity of the membrane material.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to achieve a sounding by means of computer-supported evaluation of technical, geographical, terrestrial and aero-terrestrial data, by application of aerial IR-sensor technology. Said aim is achieved as follows: Firstly, limiting conditions are determined and evaluated for an optimum application time. In addition to the above determination, DGPS, geographical and line parameters serve as the software input for a flight guidance and control system, for the aerial application of the sensor technology for the recording, automatic selection and transmission of said sensor values. The dynamic image data recorded as above is transmitted to an analytical unit, collated into an infra-red raster image, geo-referenced and equalised. For further evaluation, the images are processed by means of software as well as the above geographical and line parameters in such a way that so-called point accumulations can be identified as a collection of IR images and thus as anomalies. The anomalies are correlated with position co-ordinates for verification of damaged points.

Abstract: Abrasive compositions comprised of water-insoluble abrasive polishing agents suspended in a liquid medium in combination with humectant, and methods for making same. The inventive abrasive compositions are rheologically stable, settling-resistant, and re-agglomeration resistant, even during and after transport and/or storage before end-use, such as incorporation into dentifrice formulations or other oral cleaning compositions. The high settling-resistance of the inventive abrasive composition makes it possible to avoid the need before end use for temporary stabilizers such as inorganic suspending agents (e.g., clays, fumed silicas) or organic binders (e.g., polysaccharides). Also, the abrasive compositions contain abrasive particles having improved brightness as compared to abrasive particles made via drying and dry comminution processing.

Abstract: External control reagents for nucleic acid amplification are provided that verify the absence or presence of specific target sequences, and correct primers and probes. A single-stranded, external control polynucleotide is amplified with primers of the same sequence as target primers. Probes with detectable labels and sequences specific for target and external control polynucleotides allow for detection and measurement. The primers and the detectable probe are adjacent or substantially adjacent when hybridized to the external control polynucleotide. Target and control amplicons may be detected by increased fluorescence induced by polymerase-mediated 5' nuclease cleavage or hybridization of a self-quenching probe complementary to both target and external control polynucleotides. A kit of PCR reagents can be dispensed into vessels for rapid and accurate nucleic acid amplification assay, with real-time or end-point measurements. The amplification control reagents, kits, and methods of the present invention provide positive and negative control tests which can be conducted concurrently with target amplification. Allelic differences at genetic loci can be detected, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP).
