Abstract: The invention describes an improved stable reagent composition and method for the determination of hemoglobin (Hb) using whole blood samples and automated hematology analyzers, for example, the TECHNICON H* TM  series of instruments as sold by the assignee hereof. The Hb reagent comprises an inorganic cyanide salt, at least one surfactant and a base and has a final pH of about 10.0 to about 11.2, preferably about 10.4 to about 11.2 or less and more preferably about 10.8 to about 11.2 or less. This reagent is intended for use as a universal Hb determination reagent for all of the instruments in the aforementioned series and will provide accurate and precise results without accompanying interference from elevated numbers of white blood cells, especially as found in abnormal blood specimens, and without system-to-system variation in the results obtained.

Abstract: A device is provided for feeding a metal strip to a pair of meshing form rollers for formation of the corrugations, together with at least two groups multiple tools for production of ventilation apertures. The two groups of multiple tools are arranged in the running direction of the metal strip behind the form rollers (2,2') and comprise circulating swarf-removing or cutting tool sets (15,15'). The tool sets are arranged at such a height in relation to the running corrugated strip that they remove at the corrugation peaks a swarf with a thickness which is at least somewhat greater than the strip thickness. The circulating cutting tool (15,15') are sufficiently adjustable in relation to the running, corrugated strip that slot-shape ventilation apertures (12,12') are produced in the area of the corrugation peaks extending in the running direction.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for injecting fuel into a diesel engine using a pulsating flow pump for improving the fuel performance of the engines by controlling the beginning and the end of the injection. It comprises a device (20) controlling the closing and opening of the nozzle needle (5) provided with a discharge circuit (21, 21') controlled by an electrovalve (25) in branched connection between the high pressure supply conduit (7) and the low pressure return conduit (8). The discharge circuit (21, 21') comprises a discharge valve (22) whereof the opening and the closing are slowed down by a calibrated orifice (23). The discharge valve (22) located upstream of a discharge orifice (27) provided on the return conduit (8) enables to deviate part of the non-injected fuel flow towards the nozzle needle (5) to exert thereon a closing pressure. Consequently, this results in a better control over the opening and closing of the nozzle needle (5). A calibrated valve (24) ensures that the pressure in the discharge circuit (21) is maintained between two injections. During the injection cycle, the supply of fuel towards the nozzle needle (5) is not impeded by the control device (20) components. The invention is applicable to diesel engines using pulsating injection pumps.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système permettant d'empêcher la transmission d'un message demande d'accès émis par une station mobile lorsque le système est incapable d'accorder l'accès à la classe de service souhaitée par le mobile ou bien lorsque l'accès par le mobile à cette classe de service augmenterait le niveau d'interférence de la station de base cible ou d'une station de base voisine au-delà de sa capacité d'interférence. Selon un mode de réalisation, chaque station de base (BSj) diffuse un paramètre d'accès à un débit binaire maximal et n'importe quel mobile (MSm) recevant ce paramètre et cherchant à accéder à un débit binaire plus important évite d'envoyer un message demande d'accès. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, chaque mobile (MSm) calcule à partir de son affaiblissement sur le trajet vers la station de base (BSj) le niveau de puissance auquel il doit transmettre afin d'obtenir l'accès ainsi que l'effet de cette transmission sur le niveau d'interférence tant de la station de base cible (BS1) que des stations de base voisines (BS2, BSj). Si la transmission au niveau de puissance requis augmentait le niveau d'interférence de n'importe quelle station de base (BSj) au-delà de sa capacité maximale, la transmission serait empêchée. Le système est le plus efficace dans les systèmes radiocellulaires mobiles AMCR.

Abstract: Metallic components of driers are protected against corrosion by supplying volatile inhibitors which produce corrosion resistant deposits on the components. Metallic components are protected against corrosion in driers (1), in which construction materials are dried with hot air or steam, by supplying the driers with volatile inhibitors which are uniformly finely dispersed as steam and/or hot air constituents in the drying chambers during the drying operation and which form corrosion resistant deposits on the metal components, the volatile inhibitors being added to the steam, the hot air, the water content of the construction materials and/or the feed water or feed water steam in the channels (2) and/or drying chambers (3) of the driers. Preferred Features: The volatile inhibitors are sprayed directly into the channels and/or into the hot air or steam stream prior to entry into the drying chambers. Alternatively, the volatile inhibitors are dosed into the feed water and/or the water to be added to the construction materials, added with the water to the construction materials or introduced with the moist construction materials into the drying chambers, the inhibitors being evaporated together with the water during drying.
