Abstract: The present invention is directed to a new assay procedure and improved solid phase assay devices for use with a so-called physical developer. The invention provides a new assay procedure for detecting the presence of an analyte in a fluid sample using a tracer having a metal label which signal is enhanced by applying a physical developer. The assay is performed with a device having a support for a test area and having attached thereto a binder specific for the analyte to be detected. The assay comprises the steps of directing the fluid sample and the tracer through a porous medium into contact with the test area at a controlled flow rate to allow binding of the analyte with the binder and the tracer to the analyte, directing a physical developer through said porous medium to amplify the signal generated by the tracer, and separating the device to allow the test area to be read. The invention further relates to devices and immunoassay test kits for carrying out the improved immunoassay procedure. A first device Figure 2 according to the present invention has a support 4 having upper and lower surfaces and a test area on its upper surface. A removable filter 3 overlies the upper surface of the support. A second device Figure 1 according to the present invention has a support 4 having upper and lower surfaces and a test area on its lower surface which is in contact with the absorptive layer 2.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AT90/00031 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 10, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 10, 1990 PCT Filed Apr. 17, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/12776 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 1, 1990.The invention concerns a process for synthesizing 9,9-bis(hydroxyphenyl)fluorene by reacting fluorene with excess phenol using a liquid catalyst prepared by dissolving aluminum trichloride in an anhydrous organic solvent such as toluene evincing the property of an electron donor while hydrochloric-acid gas is being supplied. For the purpose of the synthesis, the fluorenone is dissolved for instance at 60 DEG  C. in the liquid phenol and then the liquid catalyst is dripped into the agitated reaction mixture at such a rate that the temperature of the reaction mixture is kept below 60 DEG  C. Following catalyst addition and subsequent after-reaction interval of several hours, the raw product is mixed with hot water and the excess phenol is removed by steam distillation. After signle-washing with water, the raw product is dissolved in hot acetone, allowed to crystallize, is filtered out and dried in vacuum. Lastly the raw product is recrystallized from 1,2-dichloroethane to form the pure product.

Abstract: Process and apparatus are described for drying sludge, in which process the sludge in a vessel (1) is conducted from top to bottom by means of a loading device (2, 6, 8) and by means of a discharge device (3, 11) in the form of a sludge column with stable layers and is dried in the course of this in countercurrent by means of drying air entering at the bottom of the vessel through a ventilating base (16) furnished with orifices and leaving from the top of the vessel. The heat contained in latent and sensible form in the drying air conducted away from the vessel is transferred via a heat exchanger (13) to the drying air supplied from outside, so that the heat liberated during the drying on account of the remaining putrefaction process is sufficient to maintain the sludge in the vessel at elevated temperature. Part of the dried sludge removed from the bottom of the vessel (1) is mixed with the externally (2) supplied sludge by means of a mixing device (7), in order to adjust the initial consistency and moisture content. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, a second vessel of essentially the same type is provided, to the bottom of which can be supplied drying air withdrawn from the top of the first container and mixed as required with drying air directly supplied from the surroundings. The sludge to be dried can be initially fed to the first or the second of the two vessels and there subjected to a predrying and then transferred from the bottom of this to the top of the other vessel in each case and there subjected to a final drying. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1991-06-20
Abstract: The holding housing (1) of the laser pulse transmitter has essentially the shape and size of the cartridge suitable for a weapon and can be inserted instead of this into the barrel or the cartridge bearing of a weapon. The holding housing (1) contains a sleeve (2) which is closed at both ends by means of holders (4,6). A laser collimator (28) is arranged at the front end and a switch (8) designed as piezoceramic (10) is arranged at the rear end. A printed circuitboard (34) is provided in the chamber (32) formed between the holders (4,6), a current source (36) being present on one side and a driver circuit (38) on the other side. Since the piezoceramic (10) serves only as a switch (8) and batteries (36) are provided as a current source, on the one hand a very small design and on the other hand a low striking force of the striking pin are possible. The laser pulse transmitter can thus also be designed for small-calibre weapons. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An infusion pump incorporates a cassette (12) formed by bonding of two substantially flat sheets. The fluid to be infused to the patient comes into contact only with the cassette (12). The sheets define a pumping chamber (38) therebetween. The infusion pump is provided with a pumping member having a hub (60) and a plurality of petal-shaped sections (62) extending radially outward therefrom and pivoted relative thereto. A stepping motor (80) can be operated to move the pumping member against the second flexible sheet to decrease the volume of the pumping chamber (38) and pump fluid to the patient. A load cell (82) monitors the force exerted by the stepping motor (80) on the hub (60). An outlet restriction valve (58) is electronically controlled by a second stepping motor (102) in response to the pressure sensed by the load cell (82) to control pumping to a predetermined pressure. The pressure can be selectively varied which permits the use of a low pressure at low flow rates to decrease the time necessary to detect an occlusion in the output line.
