Title: Auxiliary suction device for taking liquids from deep voluminous vessels
IPC: B01L3/02
Filed: 1989-05-23
Granted: 1993-03-03
Abstract: For taking liquids from deep voluminous vessels by aspiration containers with short suction pieces, a metered intermediate volume of liquid, accessible from above, is aspirated from a liquid volume of changing depth in the vessel. Simultaneously with this aspiration, a defined sample of liquid is sucked off. This suction aid possesses a tube which can be introduced into the vessel and a non-return valve closing towards the lower tube end. This tube (5) is arranged on a dish (2) which can be placed upon the mouth (6) of the vessel. Preferably, the dish (2) is part of a housing (1) in which the upper opening (16) of the tube (5) is arranged close to the cover wall (12) and, in the upper part of the dish (2), above the intermediate volume of the liquid held at least in the dish (2), there is an inlet opening (13) for the tip (14) of a working vessel (15) provided with a piston. With each sampling, an intermediate volume of defined depth is always produced in the housing.

Abstract: In a stop valve, such as a ball-cock valve, in which the angular movements of the turning member (10) for the ball cock (2) are limited, e.g. to 90 DEG C between the open position shown and the closed (not shown), the new feature is that the stop surface formed in the valve housing (1) is the end surface (1d) on an annular stop projection (1c) extending from a nipple (1b) screwed into the valve housing (1a) proper into the valve chamber (5), whereas the end surface (1d) cooperates with an eccentric stop surface (10d) on the turning member (10). Both the fixed stop surface (1d) and the moveable stop surface (10d) may easily be formed using simple machining operations, and the fixed stop surface (1d) will always be correctly positioned, when the nipple (1b) is fully screwed into the valve housing (1a), since this screwing-in is limited by cooperating parts (1e and 1f) on the valve housing (1a) and the nipple (1b), respectively. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for converting liquid triglycerides into solid triglycerides by means of random transesterification achieved through the use of catalytically active combinations comprising the reaction product of mixtures of dihydroxy and trihydroxy alcohols with mixtures of alkali metal hydroxides, and with ketones. The catalytically active materials can be employed in directed transesterifications in which the transesterification reaction mixture is subjected to a series of heating and cooling cycles during which higher melting fats are formed and precipitated from solution, causing an equilibrium shift that results in the formation and precipitation of still additional higher melting fats. An especially desirable catalytically active combination comprises the reaction product of 1, 2 propanediol, 1, 3 propanediol and glycerol, with sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, and in a preferred embodiment, the reaction product is combined with acetone to form the catalytically active combination.

Title: Method for detecting the presence of mercury using microorganisms with mercury-enhanced bioluminescence
IPC: C12Q1/6897
Filed: 1990-02-01
Granted: 1993-07-21
Abstract: Process in which microorganisms equiped with a plasmid vector, pGL4, constructed by molecular biological techniques, can be used as biosensors for mercury compounds. A gene complex ($i(mer-Operon)) inductible by mercury ions is combined by molecular cloning with the luciferase (LUX) gene system of $i(Vibrio Harveyi). The arrangement of the two gene units is designed so that the $i(mer-Operon) promoter, which is positively regulated by mercury compounds, also controls the transcription of the LUX genes. As a result, microorganisms transformed with plasmid pGL4 respond to increasing quantities of mercury cations in the surrounding medium with an increase in their emitted bioluminescence. The process is absolutely specific for mercury, rapid and highly sensitive: the proven limit for mercury ions is approximately 0.2 ppb, i.e., 5 times lower than the detection threshold for the most powerful established methods (atomic absorption spectrometry), which detect 1 to 5 ppb of mercury and require a considerable quantity of apparatus. A further advantage of the invention is the possibility of determining measurement values (bioluminescence signals emitted by microorganisms transformed by plasmid pGL4) without direct contact between the biosensor and the signal-amplification unit (bioluminescence apparatus). The method therefore permits simple, continuous, on-line determination of critical mercury concentrations.
