Date Nov. 20, 1997The conical clamping set (100) serves, for example, to connect a shaft (1) with a hub (3) and is arranged in the radial clearance (5) between the cylindrical outer-circumference surface (2) of the shaft (1) and the cylindrical inner-circumference surface (4) of the hub (3). It includes inner conical rings (11, 12) with a cylindrical inner-circumference surface and a conical outer-circumference surface (8', 8''), as well as a thin-walled external conical ring (10, 18', 18'') with conical, inner-circumference surfaces (7', 7'') fitting onto the outer-circumference surfaces (8', 8'') of the inner conical ring (11, 2) and a cylindrical outer-circumference surface (6) intended for application on the inner-circumference surface (4) of the hub (3). Axial clamping screws (19) are distributed over the circumference; the conical rings (11, 12) can be axially pulled against each other by tightening the clamping screws. Because of a radial stepping down (24) or circumference slot, the axial extension of the zone (21) of the cylindrical outer-circumference surface (6) of the external conical ring (10), in which the radial clamping forces are transferred to the inner circumference of the recess (4) of the hub (3), is smaller than the axial extension of the zone (35), in which the radial clamping forces act against the outer circumference (2) of the shaft (1), so the surface pressure on the surfaces (4, 6) is increased.

Abstract: The invention relates to a battery which, for maintenance or in a danger situation, can be simply and reliably transferred from an operative state into a safe, inoperative state, whilst avoiding a short circuit. This is either brought about in that a controlled operable draining device for the rapid draining of the electrolyte is provided and that following the draining of the electrolyte all power-generating processes are stopped. Alternatively a battery with such characteristics is created in that in the danger situation a line introduces a deactivating substance into the electrolyte, which stops all power-generating, electrolytic processes.

These substrates can be used to detect influenza types A and B in clinical samples or specimens. More particularly, these 4,7-dialkoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid substrates can be used to distinguish between various viruses having neuraminidase reactivity. Thus, influenza type A and B viruses can be distinguished from parainfluenza type 1, 2, 3, and 4, and mumps using the 4,7-dialkoxy-N-acetylneuraminic acid derivatives of this invention. Diagnostic methods employing these substrates are provided to identify influenza type A and B viruses in clinical specimens and to distinguish from other viruses having neuraminidase reactivity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for quantitative and qualitative on-line differentiation of biotic and abiotic particles. The methods and devices are used to ensure quality and to monitor production as well as in analysis procedures for particular contamination's of gaseous media. The methods and devices are chiefly used in pharmacology, food technology, medicine, biotechnology and health care and in controlling maximum admissible concentration values. According to the inventive method, the gas sample to be measured is briefly heated at very high temperatures in a heating chamber (3). Dimensional distribution of particle contamination is determined before and after heating by means of diffuse light sensors (1, 2). Dimensional changes of biotic panicles caused by heating make it possible to determine their proportion in total particle load of the gas sample and their composition.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un laser monomode longitudinal doublé, à intracavité, qui fonctionne de manière stable (faible changement d'amplitude de l'intensité du faisceau de sortie) et efficace, ainsi qu'un procédé associé. Un matériau actif (36) est placé dans la cavité, de sorte que de la lumière soit produite à la longueur d'onde fondamentale voulue et éventuellement à d'autres longueurs d'onde non voulues. Un moyen de polarisation (38) et un matériau de doublage de type I (36) sont également placés dans la cavité. Pendant le fonctionnement du laser, le moyen de polarisation polarise la lumière produite par le matériau actif à la longueur d'onde voulue et aux longueurs d'onde indésirables. Le matériau de doublage actif de type I produit ensuite des longueurs d'onde de sortie deux fois supérieures à elles le traversant. Le matériau de doublage de type I et le moyen de polarisation sont conçus pour coopérer et entraîner des pertes au niveau des longueurs d'onde indésirables de sorte qu'elles soient supprimées alors que la longueur d'onde fondamentale voulue est soumise à un niveau de perte supérieur à un seuil laser de manière que la longueur d'onde de sortie voulue soit produite. Selon un aspect de l'invention, de la lumière bleue peut être produite comme onde de sortie.

Abstract: An improvement in the technique to create output image includes creating on output template data by automatically replacing template character train data, which is created based on an output format, with data that is inputted by an operator and has the same identification as the template data. The created output data is the same as it is inputted by an operator based on the format. As the data, which is inputted without regard to the format, can be used for creating output image data with this method, an operator does not need to input data based on a predetermined format, thereby reducing an operator's burden. <IMAGE>
