Abstract: A dispensing gun for fluent products such as viscous adhesives and sealants. The gun includes a removably mounted nozzle and fittings for attachment to a product source such as a can or a hose. A valve body has product inlet and outlet passages with flow being controlled therethrough by a valve that includes a nose portion seated in the valve body, and a rod that extends through the nose portion of the valve and seats on tapered surfaces inside the end of the nozzle. The valve contains a shrouded internal spring biasing the valve to a closed position. A trigger engages the yoke carrying the valve and the valving rod and moves the yoke so that the rod and valve move between open, closed and intermediate positions. In one preferred form, the valving rod may be adjusted between positions wherein more or less product is dispensed in response to full trigger movement.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for determining the concentration of sample components of a sample by an analytical technique that yields a spectrum that can be written as Y( omega )=P( omega )xC. The apparatus and methods of the invention account for experimental errors that give rise to distortions in the observed spectrum and that consequently result in inaccurate determinations of sample component concentrations. The invention accounts for such errors by modeling the total experimental error as the sum of one or more types of errors that can be written as  xi xK. The spectrum is then modeled as Y=PxC+ xi xK. Using the observed spectrum, known values for P, and a mathematical model for  xi , this equation can be solved for the best fit value of the sample component concentrations, C, and the magnitudes of the errors, K. The method can be used for any error that can be modeled in the foregoing manner, such as a shift in the spectrum. Particular types of shift include constant shift as well as linear shift across the entire spectrum. The apparatus and methods are advantageously used in absorbance spectroscopy and chromatography.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a glycoconjugate immunoreactive with Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, (monoclonal) antibodies against these glycoconjugates, and cell lines capable of producing monoclonal antibodies. The invention is further concerned with immunochemical reagents and methods for the detection of T. gondii or antibodies directed agains T. gondii. Furthermore the invention relates to a therapeutic reagent for the inhibition of replication of T. gondii parasites and a method for the production of a live attenuated T. gondii vaccine. It has now been found, and in contrast with earlier publications in this art, that several glycoconjugates are immunoreactive with Toxoplasma gondii specific antibodies comprising a glycan core structure having general formula (I) wherein R1=Hydrogen, -PO 3 -CH 2 -CH 2 -NH 2 (ethanolamine-phosphate), or -PO 3 -CH 2 -CH 2 -NH-X, wherein X=a T. gondii specific antigen; wherein R2=±-O-R4, ±(1-4)-O-anhydromannitol or ±(1-4)-O-glucoseamine optionally ±(1-6)-linked to the inositol moiety of a phosphatidylinositol membrane anchor; wherein R3=a monosaccharide moiety, wherein R4=Hydrogen or -L-R5, wherein L=a bivalent organic radical and R5=a functional group that allows coupling to a carrier. A preferred embodiment of the monosaccharide moiety is a hexose moiety, more preferred is a glucose moiety, and most preferred is a glucose moiety which is bonded to the GalNAc-moiety by an ±1,4 glycosidic bond. It has been found that the glycoconjugates according to the present invention are particularly suitable for diagnosing T. gondii infected humans.

Abstract: According to a method and a device for deciding relative to a chosen reference system, and without contact, the position, direction or speed-or any combination thereof-for a projectile (10) in its flight through a gas towards a giver target (30), the position of the projectile in a first plane (35) is decided at a certain distance from the target by means of at least three acoustic sensors (S1, S2, S3) arranged in a vicinity of the plane. Acoustic sound waves, emanating from a turbulent gas volume (13, 14, 15) extending essentially straight behind the projectile (10), and/or emanating from a wake or monopole (12, 13) existing essentially straight behind the projectile, are received by means of the acoustic sensors (S1, S2, S3). Time differences for the arrival of the acoustic sound waves to the respective acoustic sensors are measured. The projectile position (x, y; x1, y1) in the first plane is calculated from the time differences. The hit point (25) of the projectile in a target plane (31) through the target (30) is decided with the help of the calculated projectile position in the first plane.
