Abstract: This amperometric sensor device comprises, in combination, a sensor (21) having a planar structure obtained by photolithography techniques and a circuit (22) for measuring the intensity of the electrochemical current generated by the sensor (29). The planar structure includes an insulating substrate (23 to 25) and a set of electrodes comprising a working electrode (29), a back electrode (30) and a reference electrode (31). A diffusion membrane (32) is arranged on the working electrode (29). Connection means (26) are provided for connecting the electrodes (29, 30, 31) to the measurement circuit (22). According to the invention, the active conducting part of the working electrode (29), situated at the surface of the substrate (23), is entirely covered by the diffusion membrane (32) which extends beyond this electrode (29) throughout its peripheral region, while this membrane is entirely exposed so that, during operation of the device (20), it is in contact with the fluid to be analysed over all its surface. Application to the measurement of the content of an oxidisable/reducible substance in a fluid, in particular chlorine in drinking water. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dental implant comprises an implant body (2) for anchorage in the jaw and a superstructure member (14) which can at least partially be inserted in a recess in the implant body (2) and be fixed by a retaining screw (8). In order to secure it against rotation the recess (4) comprises a first bearing surface (22) and the superstructure member (14) comprises an assigned second bearing surface (24). This dental implant is to be developed further in such a way that the superstructure member is secured against rotation relative to the implant body without play and in a durable and functionally reliable manner. It is proposed that the superstructure member (14) have at least one slot (26) extending from its free end (28) to the region of the second bearing surface, and a radially inward narrowing (34). The retaining screw (8) is assigned a pressure surface (36) which can engage with said narrowing (34) during screwing-in of the retaining screw (8) in such a way that it results in radial dilatation of the superstructure member (14) and, at least partially, firm contact of the first and second bearing surfaces (22, 24). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The transporting device for patients or bedridden persons comprises a movable basic frame (2), a motor drive having a motor and at least one drive wheel, support wheels (3) fastened on the four corners of the basic frame (2), a lifting and inclining device fastened on the basic frame (2), a stretcher (8) intended to transport a patient or a bedridden person and couplable to the lifting and inclining device, and a control panel (4) provided on the basic frame (2) for controlling the transporting device. The drive wheel is arranged in the centre of the basic frame (2) so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis, and the support wheels (3) are designed as steering rollers. The control panel (4) can be pivoted about a vertical axis relative to the basic frame (2). Since the drive and the lifting and inclining device are centrally installed below the support frame (9), the result is a uniform weight distribution on the movable basic frame (2), and this leads to satisfactory controllability and steerability of the transporting device. Pivoting of the control panel (4) permits easy access to the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fire-resistant glazing for avoiding the through-passage of fire and smoke, in the event of a fire, from one room into another utilizes fire-protection panes (1, 2) with a protective agent which is contained therein, expands, in the event of a fire, with a cooling action and thereby emerges partially out of the end surfaces of the fire-protection panes (1, 2). The fire-protection panes (1, 2) are retained laterally by a supporting structure which does not itself have any protective measures against fire and heat. In order to avoid warping and thus pronounced curvature of the fire-protectiong glazing in the event of a fire, the supporting structure is made up of at least one preferably vertically arranged support (4) which is arranged in a free-standing manner in the room, at a distance from the fire-protection means (1, 2), and is fastened by its two ends on the respective room-binding surfaces (5, 6). The support (4) is exclusively connected via connecting arms to the respectively adjacent fire-protection panes (1, 2) and retains the latter. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to synthetic herpes simplex virus (HSV) promoters which are constructed by operatively linking the 5' nontranscribed domain of an HSV  alpha  gene to a fragment containing the transcription initiation site and the 5' transcribed noncoding region from an HSV  gamma  gene. Synthetic promoters of the invention that are operatively linked to heterologous genes, inserted into HSV genomes and used to generate live virus are useful for expressing polypeptides encoded by the heterologous genes in appropriate host cells. The synthetic promoters direct transcription of the heterologous genes constitutively throughout the reproductive cycle of the virus at a high cumulative level. The recombinant viruses of the invention can also be used as vaccines to present polypeptides against which a host will mount an immune response.

Abstract: A teat for feeding liquids to animals has fastening means enabling the teat to be fastened to a source of liquid such as pipe or drum in use to project outwardly from the source. The teat is resilient having an outer end (9) which is closed apart from a slit (11) in it which slit is itself normally adapted to be closed to provide a liquid seal. The closed outer end is preferably concave, coned, cusped or otherwise reentrant. Integral reinforcing means such as webs are located internally on either side of the slit so that if the end of the teat is squashed or compressed by sucking forces exerted by the animal with components along the direction of slit, the reinforcing means causes the slit to be stretched open, thereby allowing liquid to flow out of it in use. The pulling or stretching action allows an acceptable flow rate from a comparatively small slit which is less prone to tear than a large split. Also a wall-stiffening web is provided, preferably as a transverse web (101) integral with the reinforcing means webs, extending from at or near the slit towards the inlet end of the teat, to provide internal stiffening, and acting in conjunction with the resilients to hold the slit closed when no sucking is occuring.
