Abstract: A capillary hematocrit separation structure is included within a housing having a fluid inlet port, a reaction region, and a capillary pathway connecting the inlet port and the reaction region. The capillary pathway is dimensioned so that the driving force for the movement of liquid through the capillary pathway arises from capillary pressure. A plurality of obstructions are fixed in the capillary pathway, each obstruction having a concave portion facing toward the vented reaction region on the down stream side of the obstructions as viewed with reference to a liquid flowing from the inlet port to the reaction region. The capillary pathway in a hematocrit separation structure for a single drop sample size includes about 10<5> obstructions, each obstruction including a concave portion having a volume of between about 10<-4> to 10<-5>  mu l for selectively receiving hematocrit. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A simple and economical method is described for compacting or shrinking flat glass panes. The method ensures high temperature homogeneity in the glass. First, the glass panes are cleaned and then a stack of glass panes to be treated is assembled without applying a release agent to any of the glass panes. Then the stack of glass panes is placed between ceramic panels made of silicon-infiltrated silicon carbide and this stack together with the ceramic panels is subjected to a heat treatment in a radiation furnace at temperatures ranging from 300° C. to 900° C. The ceramic panels have a thermal conductivity, which, in the region of the heat treatment temperature, is at least 5 times as large as that of the glass panes. The ratio of the total thickness of the ceramic panels to the height of the glass stack should be at least 1/lambd/40W/(mK), wherein lambd is the thermal conductivity of the ceramic panel at the temperatures of the heat treatment.

Abstract: A method of effecting payment with a cash card that includes an electronic purse, such as a smart card that includes a chip and with which money can be deposited in said chip. When used for payment the card is read in a pay terminal, such as a cashpoint teller or automatic teller, and the payment sum is subtracted from the amount stored in the chip. The card includes data relating to a cash card number to which the card is tied. When the card is read in the cash card reader of a pay terminal the cash card number is read and is registered to enable a cash card transaction to be carried out, and the amount available on the chip is also read and registered. The pay terminal subtracts the amount concerned from the chip only when the chip contains an amount sufficient to cover the whole of the sum concerned and remains in the cash card reader for a period of time sufficient for the transaction to be carried out. The pay terminal then erases cash card number that was registered. The pay terminal is caused to carry out a conventional cash card transaction when the chip does not contain sufficient funds to cover the whole of the amount concerned, or if it is not left in the cash card reader for a sufficient length of time.

Abstract: Character recognition includes detecting a union of characters, preprocessing the union of characters, comparing the preprocessed union of characters with one or more template symbols, and applying a decision rule to either reject a template symbol or decide that the template symbol is included in the union of characters. Such preprocessing involves representing the union of characters as one or more curves, and parameterizing the curve(s); and, regarding various classes of transformation, forming one or more shapes for the curve(s). The comparing operation involves forming one or more geometric proximity measures, and determining for every shape the values of those measures between the shape and correspondingly determined shapes for the template symbols. Applying a decision rule involves selecting one or more template symbols in consideration of the values.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to improve the identification of individual gas compounds which co-exist with other compounds that have substantially higher concentrations. To achieve this, the adsorbent ( 2 ) is heated in a cyclic manner by a thermal shock treatment of the gas sensor ( 4 ) and the compounds that are released in cycles are diffused from the measured gas side through the membrane-type adsorbent ( 2 ) to the gas sensor ( 4 ) and are detected by the latter ( 4 ). The adsorbent ( 2 ) of the corresponding detector is configured as a flat or tubular membrane and is positioned directly adjacent to the gas sensor ( 4 ), without touching the latter. The adsorbent ( 2 ) separates the gas sensor ( 4 ) from the measured gas and is heated in a cyclic manner by the heater ( 6 ) of the gas sensor ( 4 ) in such a way that the desorbed gaseous compounds are identified using the active layer ( 5 ) of the gas sensor ( 4 ).
