Abstract: An element has been prepared which is useful for the detection of nucleic acids in various formats. The element has a sealable support on which is disposed a nucleic acid reagent composition. The composition is a mixture of a nucleic acid reagent composed of polymeric particles to which an oligonucleotide is covalently attached. The particles are prepared from a first polymer having a glass transition temperature of at least 70  DEG C and have an average diameter of from 0.1 to 3 micrometers. The reagent is adhered to the support using a water insoluble adhesive comprising a second polymer which has a glass transition temperature which is at least 30 DEG C less than the glass transition temperature of the first plymer. The adhesive is present in the composition at from 1 to 20 weight percent. This element provides high sensitivity and low background in hybridization and other nucleic acid assays.

Abstract: A toilet- and hygiene equipment comprises individual collection bowls (2, 3) for urine and feces, respectively. These collection bowls are disposed under a common seat (4) so that a person after having moved himself may use these collection bowls one after the other. In order to permit saving of urine the collection bowl (2) for urine has an outlet conduit (5) of its own which is separate from the outlet conduit from the collection bowl for feces and is connectable to e.g. a transport vessel. It is preferred that the collection bowl (2) for urine is in communication with two outlet conduits (6, 8) of which at least one may be shut-off by means of a shut-off device (9), so that urine may reach a storing vessel, in one position of the shut-off device, whereas urine residuals and a small amount of flushing water may reach a drain or the like, in the other position of the shut-off device. The shut-off device may be controlled by means of special transmitters (4, 11) that may be activated by the person who is using the toilet.

Abstract: 2.1 To improve the "rewind" search mode, on modern recorders which operate by the helical-scan method the capstan shaft is arranged on the drive chassis outside the region intended for the tape cassette. However, with the capstan shaft arranged in such a way, the control mechanism and structural design for actuating the pinch roller are also relatively elaborate. The object is to provide a pinch roller actuating device which can be produced inexpensively and with which frictional losses which lessen the pressing force for the pinch roller against the capstan shaft can be reduced. 2.2 The actuating device, which can be swivelled about a swivel axis (423), essentially comprises a pressure lever (3), bearing the pinch roller (30), a drive lever (42) and an intermediate lever (41), by means of which a spring (5), provided as an energy store for pressing the pinch roller (30) against the capstan shaft (14), is prestressed. Arranged parallel to the pinch roller (30) on the pressure lever (3) is a conically shaped lift roller (35), by means of which, in interaction with a second guide (75), a lifting movement can be superimposed on the swivelling movement of the actuating device. 2.3 In particular for video recorders in which the capstan shaft is outside the cassette region and the pinch roller in the position of rest is sunken in a clearance in the cassette. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for screening a continuous tone image comprising the steps of:   selecting an unprocessed image pixel according to a randomized space filling two-dimensional curve and processing said unprocessed image pixel as follows: determining from the tone value of said unprocessed image pixel a reproduction value to be used for recording said image pixel on a recording medium, calculating an error value on the basis of the difference between said tone value of said unprocessed image pixel and said reproduction value, said unprocessed image pixel thereby becoming a processed image pixel, adding said error value to the tone value of an unprocessed image pixel and replacing said tone value with the resulting sum or alternatively distributing said error value over two or more unprocessed image pixels by replacing the tone value of each of said unprocessed image pixels to which said error value will be distributed by the sum of the tone value of the unprocessed image pixel and part of said error,   repeating the above steps until all image pixels are processed.   <IMAGE>

Abstract: On décrit une structure de réflexion pour ondes acoustiques de surface (302) placée entre des émetteurs/récepteurs digitaux multiples disposés sur un substrat piézo-électrique (100) de dispositif à ondes acoustique de surface de type échelle. Cette structure de réflexion réduit tant les réflexions dues à la charge mécanique et électrique venant de la présence physique des doigts de l'émetteur/récepteur, sans recours à une disposition scindée pour ces doigts, que les réflexions dues à la réflexion régénérée provenant de cet émetteur/récepteur. Le réflecteur comporte un premier centre de phase acoustique. L'émetteur/récepteur comporte un second centre de phase acoustique, un coefficient de tension régénéré re, et un coefficient de charge mécanique et électrique rm, propres aux réflexions. Le réflecteur s'utilise pour réfléchir simultanément les réflexions régénérées et celles induites par la charge mécanique et électrique venant toutes de l'émetteur/récepteur. Les dimensions de ce réflecteur sont telles qu'il offre une capacité de réflexion égale à la racine carrée de la somme des réflexions, régénérés et dues à la charge mécanique et électrique, portées au carré. Le centre de phase du réflecteur est placé à un nombre entier de longueurs d'onde acoustique calculé depuis le centre de phase de l'émetteur/récepteur plus (ou moins) une distance équivalant à un angle de phase de 90° plus l'inverse de la tangente du rapport entre la réflexion due à la charge mécanique et électrique et la réflexion régénérée multipliée par un facteur de proportionnalité dépendant de la longueur d'onde.

Abstract: Un contrôleur de retour à l'état initial, généralement un thermostat, commande un organe de régulation qui maintient une condition ambiante dans une enceinte, soit à un point de consigne à faible consommation d'énergie, soit à un point de consigne à forte consommation d'énergie, en fonction du moment présent. Le contrôleur utilise un capteur de reprise pour mesurer un état qui pourrait affecter la vitesse à laquelle le passage du point de consigne à faible énergie au point de consigne à énergie élevée va probablement avoir lieu, puis fait démarrer la reprise à un moment correspondant à l'état mesuré afin d'achever la reprise au moment précis ou aux environs du moment choisi pour le retour à un point de consigne à énergie élevée. Le capteur de condition peut être situé à proximité de l'extérieur de l'enceinte afin de détecter une ou plusieurs conditions. Dans une application de régulation de température, le capteur de reprise peut comprendre un détecteur de température situé à l'extérieur, auprès de l'espace subissant cette régulation, ainsi qu'un détecteur de vitesse du vent.

Abstract: A cylindrical polymer fiber filter cartridge for liquid filtration is formed by applying an acrylic latex binder, diluted with water, to a batt of thermoplastic polymer fibers and winding the batt onto a core to form a hollow fibrous cylinder while applying compression with a compression roll to an outer surface of the fibrous cylinder. After the batt is fully wound onto the core, the cylindrical cartridge is rotated at a speed sufficient to cause the acrylic latex binder to foam in-situ thereby fluidizing the cartridge to allow the polymer fibers in the cartridge to reorient to form a smooth outer surface on the cartridge and to evenly distribute the acrylic binder throughout the cartridge. The binder in the cartridge is then cured to bond the fibers together at their points of intersection and annular grooves are cut in the outer surface of the cartridge to increase the surface area of the filter.
