Abstract: An elastic plate (20) is disclosed for supporting a light path
refraction plate (10). Also disclosed is an image processing device (8)
including the elastic plate (20), which is capable of improving the
resolution of the charge coupled device (4) by successively projecting
lights of an object to a plurality of places on a pixel of the charge
coupled device. The elastic plate (20) includes a frame (22) for
supporting the light path refraction plate (10), a first holder (24) for
rotatably supporting the frame (22) in a first direction, and a second
holder (26) for rotatably supporting the first holder in a second
direction which is perpendicular to the first direction. The image
processing device includes the light path refraction plate (10), the
elastic plate (20), and a driving section (30). The light path
refraction plate (10) refracts and projects an incident ray from an
object to a charge coupled device (4). The driving section drives the
light path refraction plate (10) such that the image of the object is
successively projected to a predetermined number of plates in the
respective pixels of the charge coupled device. The driving section
includes a pair of piezoelectric actuators (30a,30b) for rotating the
frame (22) and the first holder (24) within a predetermined angular
range.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement and method for
transporting test tubes (1) automatically between different
processing stages and equipment in laboratories. In the method,
the test tubes (1) are placed on transport bases (3) for
transportation within the system and the identification data of
the test tube (1) is read to identify the sample, after which the
transport bases (3) can be moved within the transportation
system with the aid of conveyors (15 - 18) to operation stations,
for operations to be carried out on the test tube (1) or sample.
The data required to move the transport base within the system
are recorded in a memory circuit (4) forming part of the transport
base (3) on the basis of the identification data of the sample,
which can be read without physical contact by a recording
device (12), while the transport base (3) is handled at a control
station (25), which is formed by at least one processing point
together with the track (28) and which control station includes at
least a handling device (36), in which there is a grip (38) which
grips the transport base (3) and transfers the base (3) in a
direction transverse to the direction of movement of the
conveyor track, to take the transport base (3) to the processing
point following the first processing point, and devices (37)
which prevent the next transport base (3) from entering the
control station (25) during the transfer, the data in the recording
devices of the transport base (3) being read at the control station
during handling.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for
continuously wrapping products (3), according to
which, during the continuous feed of the products
(3) and respective intermediate wrappers (2a) which
have four flaps (26, 27, 28, 29) to be folded,
projecting in such a way that they are offset from
the lower surface (30) of the product (3), along a
path (P) with an instantaneous tangent (T)
extending in a first direction (D1) which may vary
from point to point on the path (P), two opposite
flaps (28, 26) make contact with respective first
and second folding tools (36, 37), located on
opposite sides of an intermediate folding portion
(100) of the path (P). During their movement along
respective closed paths (01, 02), the first and
second folding tools (36, 37) are subject to a
first movement in a second direction (D'2, D''2)
transversal to the first direction (D1), a second
movement in the first direction (D1), and a third
movement, consisting of an oscillation about a
relative longitudinal axis (97, 98), so that each 
folding tool (36, 37) pursues and folds each flap
(28, 26), whilst remaining parallel with the
instantaneous tangent (T) and, therefore, with the
surface (30) of each product (3).

Abstract: L'invention concerne une soupape à relâchement de pression (1) particulièrement apte à être utilisée sur des camions-citernes susceptibles de se renverser lors d'un accident. Les soupapes utilisées sur de tels dispositifs doivent être obturées dans l'éventualité d'un renversement, afin d'empêcher toute fuite d'un fluide volatil et inflammable depuis l'intérieur du camion-citerne, et de permettre une ventilation du gaz situé au-dessus de ce fluide, à l'intérieur de ce camion-citerne, dans des conditions de fonctionnement normales. La soupape de cette invention comporte un piston mobile (24) et un siège fixe (32), capables de se déplacer de manière axiale l'un vers l'autre ou à l'écart l'un de l'autre afin d'ouvrir et de fermer la soupape. L'un de ce siège de soupape et de ce piston est pourvu de bouchons magnétiques (23), l'autre étant ferromagnétique, de sorte que l'attraction magnétique entre ces composants amène ladite soupape à se placer en position fermée. De plus, une fois que la pression différentielle sur la soupape atteint un niveau prédéterminé et variable (si le déplacement des aimants varie dans ledit composant, modifiant ainsi l'attraction magnétique), le piston est alors séparé du siège de soupape et la soupape s'ouvre pour relâcher la pression. Enfin, la soupape de cette invention est éventuellement munie d'un organe de relâchement de pression manuel (27) pouvant être actionné même dans le cas d'un renversement, de sorte que l'évacuation du fluide depuis l'intérieur du camion-citerne peut s'effectuer en toute sécurité.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for conveniently detecting at a high
sensitivity an extrinsic endocrine disrupter which is a so-called
environmental hormone, and enabling detection at a high sensitivity of an
extrinsic endocrine disrupter (environmental hormone) existing in the
environment with a low concentration to be conveniently carried out.
The present invention includes: a detection container (1) having an
immobilized female sex hormone receptor (2) such as an immobilized
estrogen receptor filled therein; a light source (3) for exciting the inside of
the container; and a detector (4) detecting a fluorescence intensity in the
detection container after excitation. A fluorescence intensity F 0  detected
when a fluorescent-labeled female sex hormone having a certain
concentration is added into the detection container is compared with a
fluorescence intensity F 1  detected when a fluorescent-labeled female sex
hormone having the same concentration and being mixed with a sample
to be tested is added into the detection container, and it is determined
that an environmental hormone exists in the sample if F 1  < F 0  is
established. Further, the female sex hormone can be also detected by
the antigen-antibody reaction utilizing an anti-hormone antibody relative
to the female sex hormone.

IPC: C07C69/52
Filed: 2000-06-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing fatty acid esters of monovalent alkyl alcohols by base-catalyzed transesterification of fatty acid esters of polyvalent alcohols. In said method, oils are used which contain free fatty acids and phosphatides, in addition to fatty acid esters of polyvalent alcohols. The method consists of several stages. The fatty acids contained in the starting material are treated with a base mixture of glycerine and a catalyst. This mixture is produced as a polar phase in the following transesterification stages and can be separated from the reaction mixture, using phase separation. Calculation procedures are provided for determining the minimum amount of catalyst necessary, depending on the acid number of the oil. The invention also relates to the use of esters produced by this method as diesel fuels.
