Abstract: An apparatus for transporting racks of sealed sample tubes,
mixing a sample material contained within the tubes, and aspirating
samples from the tubes. The apparatus includes a car which runs
along a rail. The car drives racks containing the sample tubes into a
mixer channel disposed above and running parallel to the rail. The
mixer channel is mounted to rotate about an axis parallel to the rail to
mix samples and position the tubes to be aspirated. A push pin
mounted adjacent to the mixer channel extends into the mixer channel
and urges individual tubes against an aspirator assembly mounted on
the opposite side of the mixer channel. An input queue is disposed
proximate the input side of the rail and an output queue disposed
proximate the output side of the rail. The input queue supports the
racks and feeds them into position to be driven by the car mechanism
into the mixer channel. The output queue receives racks after being
aspirated and feeds them aft to make room for subsequent racks driven
by the car from the mixer channel. The racks include a lateral front
wall, a lateral rear wall and a horizontal bottom wall connecting the
front wall to the back wall. The racks also include a plurality of
vertical side walls connected to the front wall and the back wall to
define a plurality of tube receptacles. The bottom wall includes a
plurality of equidistantly spaced apertures, each of which is centrally
located within a tube receptacle to provide the push pin access to the
tubes. The bottom wall also includes a plurality of ribs extending from
the front wall to the back wall to be engaged by the car. Biasing
means are disposed within each of the tube receptacles to support
sample tubes therein.

Title: Verfahren und Schaltungsanordnung zur kurzzeitigen Aufrechterhaltung einer Ausgangsspannung bei Ausfällen einer Eingangsspannung mittels eines Autarkiekondensators
Inventor: FENDT GUENTER
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1998-10-02
Abstract: Um bei derartigen Autarkiekondensatorschaltungen bei konstanter
Ladungsmenge eine Verkleinerung der Kapazität zu ermöglichen, wird
die Eingangsspannung von einem DC/DC-Aufwärtswandler auf eine
höhere Kondensatorspannung transformiert, diese im Autarkiekondensator
gespeichert und die Kondensatorspannung von einem
DC/DC-Abwärtswandler auf die Ausgangsspannung für das Lastelement
transformiert, die kleiner als die Kondensatorspannung ist. Da der
DC/DC-Abwärtswandler Kondensatorspannungen bis zum Erreichen der
Ausgangsspannung verwerten kann, wird die im Autarkiekondesator (C)
verbleibende Restspannung nicht mehr nicht genutzt. Die Autarkiezeitspanne
ist entsprechend kurz. 
     Indem im Autarkiefall die Kondensatorspannung auf den Eingang des
DC/DC-Aufwärtswandler geschaltet wird, kann dieser die im Laufe der
Autarkiezeitspanne absinkende Kondensatorspannung aufwärts transformieren
und am Ausgang eine nahezu konstante Spannung aufrechterhalten,
die der DC/DC-Abwärtswandler dann in die Ausgangsspannung
transformiert. Der Autarkiekondesator kann tiefer entladen und die
Autarkiezeitspanne deutlich verlängert werden. 
     Verfahren und Schaltungsanordnung sind insbesondere zur Versorgung
von elektronischen Baugruppen in Kraftfahrzeugen geeignet, da bei
diesen ausgehend von einer relativ niedrigen Eingangsspannung sich
der Einsatz von DC/DC-Wandlern besonders vorteilhaft erweist.

Abstract: A serial recording apparatus is disclosed which
is capable of continuously printing even if a dot-forming
element (or elements) of the element array of
the recording head is defective, by substituting for
the defective dot-forming element, a substitution dot-forming
element. The serial recording apparatus also
automatically detects a defective dot-forming element
of the element array of the recording head. In
operation, print data of the defective dot-forming
element, which loses its dot-forming function, is
saved in a second print-data storing device, and a
first printing pass is carried out. In the second
printing pass, a normal dot-forming element is moved
to a location on a recording sheet which would
otherwise be subjected to printing by the defective
dot-forming element, and reads out the print data from
the second print-data storing device to print it on
that location.

Abstract: The method involves generating two field images with polarization filters, which are perpendicular with respect to each other, at an inclined observation angle. A summation picture is generated by adding the two images. The field images are compared pixel-by-pixel by generating a comparison value for each pixel that exceeds a predetermined threshold corresponding to a given intensity difference is marked in the summation picture. The comparison value is a measure of the difference in intensities between the compared pixels.
