Patent EP-0259844-A3 (EP)
IPC: C03B19/10
Filed: 1987-09-08
Abstract: A powdered material and a process for producing same are 
disclosed. The powdered material essentially consists of 
spherical particles selected from the group consisting of 
metal based materials, ceramic glasses, crystalline ceramic 
materials and combinations of these. The material is 
essentially free of elliptical shaped material and elongated 
particles having rounded ends. The process for making the 
spherical particles involves mechanically reducing the 
size of a starting material to produce a finer powder. 
The finer powder is entrained in a carrier gas and passed 
through a high temperature zone at a temperature above the 
melting point of the powder to melt at least about 50% of 
the powder and form the spherical particles of the melted 
portion. The powder is then directly solidified.

Title: Signal enhancement in immunoassay by modulation of enzymatic catalysis
IPC: C07F9/12
Filed: 1987-11-18
Abstract: A method for enzyme immunoassay for a ligand suspected to be present in a liquid sample includes signal amplification by use of at least two enzymes and a blocked modulator for one of the enzymes. Ligand present in the liquid binds to an antiligand and an enzyme-labeled tracer. The resulting bound fraction is separated and the enzyme in the tracer removes the blocking group from the blocked modulator. The modulator activates or inhibits a second enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of a substrate to a product. The presence or absence of the ligand in the liquid is indicated by a signal, such as a color change or a rate of color change, associated with the product. The invention includes a new class of enzyme inhibitors and blocked inhibitors and a kit of materials useful for performing the method of the invention.

Patent EP-0256811-A3 (EP)
Title: Obtaining digital outputs from multiple transducers
IPC: H03M1/60
Filed: 1987-08-07
Abstract: Each sensing element (22 to 26) in a transducer (30) has 
an analog output which controls the frequency of a variable 
frequency oscillator (16 to 19) which is energized through 
selector (14) when a reading is to be taken for the particular 
sensing device. The oscillator output is fed to a first counter 
(36) which counts a pre-settable total number of cycles to 
establish a variable time period corresponding to the value 
sensed. A second counter (38) is operated for the same time 
interval to count cycles from a high frequency clock source (40), 
the number counted being proportional to the analog signal from 
the sensing device.  
     By changing the presettings of the first counter, the 
resolution of the transducer can be varied, enabling operation 
in different ranges with adequate accuracy. Also, where a 
number of sensing elements are used in a transducer, resolution 
can be selectively varied when digitizing readings from the 
different elements.

IPC: A61J1/05
Filed: 1988-02-01
Abstract: A method for removing bubbles from a container made of 
synthetic resin or similar material filled with liquid 
comprises a movement of inclination into at least one 
direction applied to the container. The movement is 
performed gradually so that the liquid will contact the 
whole surface of the inner wall of the container without 
any shock from outside so to discharge bubbles adhering to 
the inner wall of the container outside of the liquid and 
removing bubbles within the container completely. This is 
performed with a system of rolls (5-9) and belts (10-13, 10a-13a) 
which contact the container.
Patent EP-0278431-A3 (EP)
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1988-02-05
Abstract: A method of producing an optical fiber 
cable. A plurality of grooves (2) are formed in an 
outer surface of a spacer (1). The grooves are formed 
continuously in the longitudinal direction by a die 
which surrounds the circumference of the spacer. 
The grooves extend, in a longitudinally changing 
direction. The optical fibers (7) are guided into the 
grooves through guide plates arranged to rotate in a 
reciprocating motion about the spacer. The position 
of the grooves is detected and converted into an 
electric signal. The operation of an actuator for 
driving the movement of the die and the guide plates 
is controlled on the basis of the electric signal 
thereby rotating the plates and the die in 
synchronism with displacement of said grooves.

Title: Device for cooling regions with limited thermal exchange surface, in particular for electronic components
IPC: H01L23/473
Filed: 1989-06-05
Abstract: This device for cooling regions with limited thermal 
exchange surface, in particular for electronic components, 
comprises a body (2) made of thermally conducting material 
which internally defines a duct (4,7) for the passage of a 
refrigerating fluid and has a portion of its surface (3,6) 
associable with a region to be refrigerated; the passage 
duct has, for at least a portion of its extension, a 
circular cross section, and at this portion there is an 
injection nozzle (5,9) which is fed with pressurized 
refrigerating fluid so as to cause expansion of the 
refrigerating fluid in the passage duct. The injection 
nozzle is arranged in the body (2) with a delivery direction 
having a component which is tangent to the circumference of 
the cross section of the passage duct (4,7) to achieve a 
vorticose motion of the expanding refrigerating fluid about 
the axis (4a, 7a) of the passage duct, producing, by 
centrifugal force, a separation between liquid, which 
adheres to the wall, and vapor, which flows at the center of 
the passage duct, thus enhancing the thermal exchange 
between the fluid and the cooling surface.

Patent EP-0336687-A3 (EP)
Title: Recording and reproducing optical disk device
IPC: G11B11/105
Filed: 1989-04-03
Abstract: Magneto-optical disk recording and reproducing devices and actuators 
and distance detectors for use therewith are disclosed. The magneto-­
optical disk device comprises, in addition to the usual elements, a 
bimorph type actuator 9, 71 or an electromagnetic actuator 108-115 
for driving the magnetic head 8 of the magneto-optical disk device. 
The bimorph actuator may have a metallic shim 74 whose width varies 
with respect to the longitudinal distance inversely proportional to 
the normal function of the first or the second free natural vibration 
mode. Alternatively, the bimorph type actuator may have a recess 
9d formed on a bimorph element 9a to expose a piezoelectric ceramics 
which outputs a voltage corresponding to the acceleration of the 
vibration of the actuator; the driver circuit 96 of the actuator 
reduces the driving voltage when the frequency of the voltage 
generated at the recess comes into the neighborhood of a higher resonance 
frequency of the actuator. The optical distance detector comprises 
a light-emitting diode 14, 16, 31 and a pair of photodiodes 15, 17, 30 
which detect the amount of light incident thereon after being reflected 
at a surface of an object the distance to which is measured. The 
geometric parameters of the photodiodes are selected in such a manner 
that the output of a first photodiode decreases as the measured distance 
increases while the output of a second photodiode increases as the 
measured distance increases. Thus, the normalized differential output 
of the two photodiodes, from which the measured distance is determined, 
varies substantially linearly with respect to the measured distance. In 
preferred forms, the photodetectors have stepped concentric configurations 
so that small distances can be measured accurately and efficiently.
