Title: A testing device for testing or analysing fluids and a holder and a storage container for such devices
Inventor: CARLSEN THOMAS NIKOLAI
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2003-08-26
Abstract: A testing device for testing or analysing fluids comprises a separately produced holder (10) and a sheet-or plate-like test member (11) including analysis reagent. The holder defines an abutment surface (13) for engaging with a side surface of the test member. Projections (15) formed on the holder are positioned and shaped so as to allow insertion of the test member into the holder by moving the test member into engagement with said abutment surface while engaging with opposite edge portions thereof. The projections may, for example, be tooth-shaped and have pointed ends, and at least some of the projections may have a leading edge (16) forming a ramp sloping towards a plane defined by the abutment surface so as to facilitate insertion of the test member into the holder. A stack of such testing devices may be arranged within a cassette from which they may be fed successively into an automatic analyser. The holder or the testing device may be re-used.

Title: Adaptor especially for use in connection with swimming pool return lines
Inventor: VAN DER MEIJDEN HENDRIKUS JOHA
IPC: F16L37/12
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: Adaptor assemblies (10) are detailed. Preferably for connecting automatic pool cleaning apparatus to retum lines of swimming pool water-circulation systems, the assemblies (10) utilize spurs (26) that may affirmatively grip, or cut or gouge into, the return lines (P) to retain the adaptors (10) in position.  Releasing the adaptors (10) may occur with use of a release line (42) which retracts the spurs (26) when activated. Avoiding release of the spurs (26) through rotation of the assemblies (10) allows rotation for other purposes as, for example, to connect the device to a hose or other apparatus. A bellows (46) or other assembly additionally may be included with the assemblies to facilitate their sealing against walls (S) or other surfaces in which the return lines (P) are embedded.

Title: Paired basis swap risk and credit mitigation system and collateral minimization system
Inventor: PERRY J SCOTT
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: A paired basis swap risk and credit mitigation system and collateral minimization system. In swaps used to hedge forward contracts a system authority interposes itself and forms paired basis swaps with each of the paired swap participants and itself together with a swaption to allow it to maintain a level book in the event of a default by any counterparty. In the event of a default the system authority has the ability to either terminate a swap and pay the non-defaulting counterparty an agreed upon termination payment, terminate the non-defaulting counterparty~s swap and exercise the swaption to substitute a correlated swap with appropriate correlated termination payment; or substitute a new counterparty with an identical swap as the paired swap participant. Paired basis swap control through delivery can be enabled to continue the risk and credit mitigation benefits of the system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the continuous countercurrent desorption of targeted materials including metals, non-metals and inorganic and/or organic compounds of thereof, wherein the desorption method is divided to the two modes namely: (I) desorption and (II) re-absorption. The desorption of the target material from the loaded resin using the fresh desorbent takes place in mode (I). According to mode (I) loaded resin moves upwardly in a chamber. According to mode (II) impurities are desorbed from resin and targeted material in solution can be re-absorbed. The resin moves downwardly in another chamber during mode (II). Concentrated eluates, which are suitable for the direct economical recovery of chemical elements and/or compounds thereof, can be produced using the present invention. The apparatus of the present invention includes desorption and re-absorption zones that are configured using a "pipe-in-pipe" construction or a U-shape construction.

Title: Process for the manufacture of steel wire rope and the application of the process
Inventor: VERREET ROLAND
IPC: B22F3/105
Filed: 2004-09-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a wire cable (12) which is produced by producing the wires already in the cable configuration by layer construction. Preferably, the wires are already formed onto terminal couplings.      The wire cable (12) so produced is suitable for specific purposes only. It is advantageous in that it is not influenced by variations in quality of the starting product or by variations in manufacturing parameters. The inventive wire cable (12) is used for applications where short cables are required and where their absolute regularity can be made use of. An important field of application of the inventive method is the production of samples for obtaining background data required for optimizing wire cable construction. According to the inventive method, samples of identical basic cable structure but different wire diameters and/or lay lengths of strands, a core wire and/or the cable are produced and the characteristic features of interest are determined. In the tests, different absolute values are found. However, the values in relation to each other show influences of geometry, i.e. wire diameters and lay length modifications. A comparison with samples produced according to conventional manufacturing methods can be used to find correctional variables which can be taken into consideration when required.
