Abstract: The instrument to grip the caps (50) of sample containers, automatically, has a setting unit (10) to apply an active action to the clamp (25) to grip the pin of the container cap (50). The clamp (25) has a wedge clamp section (29), held together in a clamping section (30b) in the basic position. For the opening and gripping setting, a part of the clamp projects from the clamping section (30b) as it is moved. The setting unit is an electromagnet (10) which, when energized by a current flow, moves the clamp (25) with its wedge clamp section (29) out of the clamping section (30b). A return spring (45) moves the clamp (25) and the wedge clamp (29) back into the clamping section (30b). A sensor registers whether a container cap (50) has been gripped or not, using a proximity sensor, a light chamber and the like, which detects the position of a unit which moves with the clamp (25). The electromagnet (10) is a component part of the sensor. The clamping section (30b) is a component part of a nipper sleeve (30), containing the return spring (45), so that the nipper sleeve (30) can be moved to the free end of the apparatus and retracted as a unit of the clamp (25) and operating rod (18). The apparatus has a tubular housing (2), with a projecting retainer sleeve (36) at the free end, which slides into the housing (2) against the action of a retainer spring (46). A micro-switch (67) registers the position of the retainer sleeve (36), in the current circuit for the electromagnet (10). The circuit is broken when the retainer sleeve (36) is not retracted into the housing (2). The clamping section (30b) is within a stripper sleeve (35), where the section (30b) projects towards the free end of the apparatus, and the stripper sleeve (35) slides on the clamping section (30b) against a stripper spring (42). An Independent claim is included for a sample container cap removal action, where the clamp (25) is presented to the cap (50) and advanced out of the clamping section (30b) with the wedge clamp (29). The clamp (25) is released so that it grips a pin projecting from the cap (50). To insert the cap (50), the operation is reversed and the clamp (25) is retracted to release the cap pin, and return to the clamping section (30b). The start of the clamp (25) movement, on both opening and closing actions, is triggered by the micro switch (67). Unsuccessful cap gripping actions are registered by the sensor which, after a given number of attempts, generates a fault signal. The fault signal triggers the collection of a fresh cap (50) from a store by the apparatus for insertion into the sample container. If this is unsuccessful, the sensor generates a further fault signal.

Abstract: An electrode for a plasma arc torch comprises a copper holder having a lower end which mounts an emissive element serving as the cathode terminal for the arc during operation. A relatively non-emissive separator formed of silver alloyed with 0.5 to 4 percent of copper or other metals surrounds the emissive element and separates the emissive element from the copper holder at the exposed end face of the electrode. The separator serves to prevent the arc from detaching from the emissive element and attaching to the copper holder. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Compliant mechanisms are arranged to enable airfoil and other structures to adapt their shapes to different flight conditions and thereby achieve optimum lift:drag ratios in plural flight conditions. The compliant mechanisms can be formed integrally whereby a compliant frame thereof, or the skin of the airfoil, undergo elastic or other deformation to produce the desired displacements in direct response to applied forces. In an airfoil context, shape changes can be effected by the leading and trailing edges of the entire airfoil system. In addition, the driver arrangements of the compliant mechanisms can be controlled individually to effect a desired surface contour throughout the length of the wing, illustratively a twist therein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for wrapping a round bale pressed in a round bale press at least about its cylindrical surface area with an at least unilaterally adhesive film ( 12 ). With the inventive method, the film ( 12 ) is pulled off by means of a pulling-off device ( 6, 7 ) from a film roll ( 11 ) in its entire width. During a predetermined space o time of said pulling-off operation, a film rope ( 13 ) is formed from the film ( 12 ). Said film rope ( 13 ) is introduced into the gap between the round bales ( 3 ) to be wrapped and a device forming the circumferential press chamber wall ( 2 ). By setting the round bale ( 3 ) into rotation, the film rope ( 13 ) present in the gap is carried along. The round bale ( 3 ) is so long rotated until the desired number of film layers has formed on the surface area of the round bale.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the industrial production of L-carnitine, comprising the enantioselective reduction of an alkyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutyrate or 4-chloro-3-oxobutyramide. The optically active 3-hydroxy derivative thus obtained is reacted with trimethylamine, obtaining crude L-carnitine, which is then finally purified. The catalyst used for the reduction is a complex of ruthenium bound to a penta-atomic bis-heteroaromatic system. The reduction reaction, performed in controlled conditions of hydrogen pressure, substrate concentration, temperature, and substrate: catalyst molar ratio, enables 4-chloro-3-hydoxybutyrate or 4-chloro-hydroxybutyamide to be obtained in a high yield. The process described, which leads to L-carnitine being obtained, is easily applicable on an industrial scale.
