Abstract: A planet gear frame assembly is so configured as to use common parts, whereby another assembly, having a different gear ratio, can be formed using the selfsame common parts. This is achieved by providing the assembly with a frame (12) and at least one pin (28) upon which the planet gear (14) is journalled, a washer (38) being engaged with the frame to retain the pin in place and axially-extending lands (42, 44), all formed at different offset distances from the pin centreline being provided on at least one end of the pin to engage the washer to prevents rotation of the pin relative to the frame. Only different gears and a different frame are required to form the other assembly having another gear ratio. Accordingly, stocking of discrete parts for the differing assemblies is greatly reduced.

Abstract: An arrangement for strain measurement is used for the electrical measurement of positive and negative strains in metal structures (39) on presses, in particular for determining the closing forces and/or the holding-closed forces on injection-moulding and die-casting machines. The arrangement consists of a measuring lance (10) of integrated construction. This assembly fitting has a pick-up (20), which can be prestressed at one end, of a strain-sensitive measurement element which generates electrical signals. The pick-up (20) is connected via a connecting tube (14) in a rotationally fixed manner to a measured value converter housing (12), which is arranged at the other end, contains autonomous evaluation electronics and is used for generating the prestress. The measurement element with the pick-up (20) and signal cable (22) can also be inserted separately into a hole (38) in a metallic structure (39), and can be fixed and prestressed there. The prestressing of the pick-up (20) of a measurement element which is separate or is integrated into a measurement lance (10) takes place in a controlled manner until a previously determined value is reached which is above the maximum possible working strain of the metallic structure. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A Free-Solution Post-Capillary Reactor [100b] that provides enhanced detection sensitivity is disclosed. The present invention improves the convenience and usefulness of the mixing system described in the inventor's parent patent by eliminating the outer capillary of the coaxial reactor and its associated plumbing. The present invention comprises a separation capillary [102] that is inserted into a reactor vessel [106] filled with detection fluid [109]. The vessel [106] utilized in the preferred embodiment serves as the buffer reservoir that receives the output from the end of the separation capillary [102]. The present reactor does not rely on an electric field to assist in the mixing of separated zones with the reagent, but rather employs the diffusion of molecules in free solution to mix zones of solute [108] with reagent [110]. When an electric field is applied across electrodes [101a, 101b] at the ends of the separation capillary [102], unknown solutes [108] borne in a buffer [109] separate from one another and are conducted from the input end of the capillary to the delivery end [112] of the capillary, which is located inside the reactor vessel [106]. The distinct bands of solute [108] diffuse into the fluid [109] that occupies a detection zone [111] which is adjacent to the delivery end [112] of the capillary. Once the solutes [108] are conveyed to the detection zone [111], their identity is determined using a variety of known analytical techniques. The preferred embodiment employs a sensor [118] which includes a photomultiplier tube (PMT) [118d].

Abstract: The receive line (EL1) of a receiving circuit (E1) is connected to a reference line (RL1) via a converter (U11) and a subtraction section (SI). If then a pulse disturbance occurs, this ideally happens at the same time in both lines, the pulse disturbance being supplied to the receive line (EL1) from the reference line (RL1) via the converter (U11) and the subtraction input of the subtraction section (SI) and compensating the pulse disturbance present in the receive line (EL1). The two lines (RL1, EL1) are advantageously carried in a star-quad arrangement in the transmission cable. An unoccupied dummy line can be used as reference line (RL1). In the simplest case, the converter (U11) consists of a normal junction line but preferably exhibits an adaptive filter for simulating the pulse disturbance. If a transmit line is used as reference line, the transmit signal must be additionally compensated for. The circuit arrangement (KS) is connected to a receiving circuit (E1) of a line terminating device of a communication system. The circuit arrangement has the advantage that the source of the pulse disturbance can be unknown. <IMAGE>

Title: Fixing bracket for flexible tube
Inventor: IJIMA TETSUYA
IPC: F16J15/52
Filed: 1991-10-10
Abstract: A bracket for fixing to a prescribed member a flexible tube such as the protective boot installed in an automobile suspension device includes a stationary ring (12) fixed on the prescribed member (4), a spacer ring (13) fitted to the stationary ring provided with resilient supporting arms, and a fastening ring (14) fitted to the spacer ring for fastening the terminal part (7a) of the flexible tube (7), or includes a stationary ring fixed on the prescribed member and provided with resilient supporting arms, and a fastening ring to be fitted to the stationary ring for fastening the terminal part of the flexible tube. By the fact that the fastening ring is rotatably retained directly or through the spacer ring on the stationary ring by virtue of the resilient force derived from the resilient supporting arms provided either on the spacer ring or on the stationary ring, the bracket is infallibly fixed to the prescribed member through the stationary ring, and the flexible tube fastened to the fastening ring is allowed to rotate freely relative to the stationary ring. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the terminal part of the flexible tube will be twisted in consequence of the rotation of the prescribed member and will be eventually broken through fatigue.

Abstract: Apparatus for the continuous production of extruded filaments by wet spinning with or without an air gap (viscose process, solvent process, NMMO process) comprises at least one pair of rolls (4, 5) whose axes (4', 5') are at an angle to one another not only in a vertical plane of reference but also in a horizontal plane of reference. A filament (1), having passed through a coagulation bath (2) from a spinning jet (3), is guided over the pair of rolls, for example a main roll (4) and an ancillary roll (5), along a solidification zone (8), a washing zone (9) and a drying zone (7), the space between the coils decreasing in the direction of the drying zone (7). Given a horizontal axis position for the main roll (4), the axis (5') of the ancillary roll (5) crosses the main roll axis (4') in the vertical projection at about one third along the length of the main roll axis (4'), namely in the region of the wet zone (7), which includes the solidification zone (8) and the washing zone (9). The angle is adjustable for optimising the running of the filament. The main roll (4) and optionally the ancillary roll (5) can be conical in shape over the whole or a part of their length.

Abstract: 2.1. A known device for photometric measurement of blood or blood plasma has a cuvette holder which is provided with one or more Küvette receptacles into which in each case one cuvette filled with an appropriate sample can be inserted from above. It has been necessary to date for the corresponding cuvette to be withdrawn upwards from the cuvette receptacle upon termination of the photometric measurement. During this time, no photometric measurement can be performed. It is therefore the object of the invention to shorten the temporal sequence of a photometric measurement. 2.2. For this purpose, the cuvette receptacle (3) is provided on its underside with a through opening which can end in a shaft (6). Furthermore, the cuvette receptacle (3) has a leaf spring (8) by means of which the sample to be measured can be locked in the cuvette receptacle (3). 2.3. The design permits a cuvette which is to be freshly inserted into the cuvette receptacle to be used to eject downwards the cuvette for which measurement has been concluded. A removal upwards is no longer required, and so the removal time is eliminated and the temporal photometric measurement is substantially shortened. <IMAGE>

IPC: G01N35/00
Filed: 1992-03-18
Abstract: It is known that there are differences in correlation between detected response and analyte concentration for test elements which are analyzed on different analyzers. These differences in correlation necessitate different calibration curves for each analyzer. Described herein is a method of calibrating an analyzer in the field, using parameters designed for a "standard" analyzer which may be different from the field analyzer. In this way, it is not necessary to use only certain slide elements of a given chemistry on one analyzer, and certain other slide elements of that same chemistry on another analyzer. Instead, the slide elements are made interchangeable by calibration mathematics which allow the field analyzer to convert its raw response R F  into a response R standard  of the selected "standard" analyzer, using the equation: 
 
           R       standard            = B₀ + B₁.R       F            + B₂.(R       F           )       k               
 
 The coefficients of this equation are established by comparing, at at least 1 different level of response, R F  against R standard , optionally using an intermediate spline function g F (R F ) in place of R F .
