Abstract: A device for coating material in the form of boards, especially printed circuit boards (2), comprises a preheating station (which is arranged on the input side of the device) for the printed circuit boards and (adjacent thereto and in the sequence of their arrangement) at least one coating station for coating at least one side of the printed circuit boards with plastic, varnish or the like which can preferably be cured by UV, and at least one venting and drying station (8), which processing stations each have transportation means for the printed circuit boards. The transportation means in the venting and drying station (8) are equipped with supporting elements (20) for the longitudinal edges (3) of the printed circuit boards (2), the width of which supporting elements (20) can be set to the width (B) of the printed circuit boards (2) to be carried, and which supporting elements (20) support and guide the printed circuit boards (2) over their entire length, on the longitudinal edges (3). In the case of the method according to the invention, the printed circuit boards (2) are aligned only once, directly at the input of the first coating station. From this point in time, the printed circuit boards (2) are always supported and guided, only at the lateral edges (3), by the various transportation means of the various processing stations. Even when the printed circuit boards, which are coated on one side or both sides, are handed over from one processing station to the coating system of the next, the printed circuit boards (2) are essentially continuously guided and supported on their longitudinal edges (3) which are free of coating. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention vise à réaliser une fixation à charge partielle réduite et mécaniquement fiable pour un enroulement haute tension, qui soit de surcroît simple à réaliser. La fixation de l'enroulement s'effectue dans la zone de la tête de bobine, avec un flexible en fibres de verre (1) qui entoure chaque barre d'enroulement (2) . Le flexible en fibres de verre est entouré par une structure en verre textile ou en polyester. Afin d'obtenir une bonne résistance mécanique, les flexibles en fibres de verre (1) sont remplis de résine. Afin d'éviter que des décharges partielles n'apparaissent dans les interstices (4) formés par le flexible en fibres de verre (1) et l'isolation (3) de la barre ou de la bobine, le flexible en fibres de verre est muni d'une couche polymère semiconductrice. La couche polymère élastique doit faire office de garniture d'étanchéité lors de l'injection de la résin dans le flexible en fibres de verre. La répartition globale de potentiel entre les deux conducteurs et les isolations de la bobine ou de la barre est en outre décalée au profit du flexible en fibres de verre, ce qui permet d'éviter une ionisation des interstices.

Abstract: The invention relates to a protective material, which is bullet proof and proof against stabbing weapons, for the production of items of clothing. Such protective materials are already known but it has been found that these materials do not offer adequate protection particularly when the stabbing weapon is contaminated by any substance, such as grease or blood for example, since the known layers which are resistant to stabbing weapons then do not offer sufficient resistance. For this reason, the invention proposes to add a layer to the protective material, which layer is made from a metal foil with a hexagonal crystal structure in an arrangement remote from the body. This layer results in the stabbing weapon being cleaned by stripping off the contamination. A protective material having an inserted metal foil is illustrated in Fig. 2. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Electrochemical immunoassay methods are disclosed. In one method, a membrane is provided between the sample and the detecting electrode. The membrane is such that it will allow passage therethrough of unbound labelled analyte (but not its complex with antibody). The unbound labelled analyte, which is electrochemically active, may then be detected at the electrode. In a further method, the electrochemical immunoassay uses a labelled analyte which is both fluorescent and electrochemically active. This allows optimisation of the electrochemical immunoassay.
