Abstract: The fuel tank has a filling connection sized for reception of a large-diameter filling gun for supplying diesel fuel. The connection contains a blocking valve, preventing filling of the fuel tank upon insertion of a filling gun of lesser diameter. The blocking valve is opened via a sensor identifying the insertion of the large-diameter filling gun, to provide a connection between the filling connection and the interior of the fuel tank. The blocking valve is electromagnetically-operated, the sensor provided by an electromagnetic sensor or a Hall sensor.

Abstract: A hydraulic lash adjuster has a plunger assembly (26) the outer end of
which can be moved inwardly until the inner end abuts a seal (34) and closes a
high pressure chamber (28), thus preventing further inward movement. This
accommodates any necessary movement of a valve towards its closing
position to ensure proper closure. Consequently, net-shaped cams wherein
the base circle is not necessarily accurately concentric may be used. A leaf
spring ensures opening of the chamber when the base circle of the cam is
next reached.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining and controlling a property of colloidal substances
that undergo at least one of a temperature dependent phase transition and a temperature
dependent adsorption-desorption process is disclosed. The colloidal particles are
characterized by performing successive measurements of light attenuation or emission by a
colloidal mixture at two or more temperatures and at one or more wavelength. The difference
or ratio of the measurements at two or more temperatures provides a measure of the colloidal
stability with respect to temperature. The amount of certain organic colloids that are unstable
to temperature variation may be determined from the magnitude of the measurement change.
This method may be specifically applied to determining the tackiness and propensity to
deposit of colloidal pitch or wood resin in pulp or paper process water as an indication of the
effectiveness of a chemical control program. In this context a feedback signal may be
provided for use by a process controller to achieve improved process control.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for capacitive detection of the
presence of target sample on a substrate, which comprises the steps of:
     binding a target sample to selective binding sites on the substrate, the target
sample being directly or indirectly labelled with conductive labels, and   sensing the presence of the bound conductive labels to a binding site to
thereby determine the presence of the target sample.   
The sensing step is carried out by a capacitive detection of the presence of the
conductive labels.

determining the presence of a target sample. Conductive labels are directly or
indirectly couplable to the target sample. The capacitive sensor device
comprises a substrate having attached thereto a binding site able to selectively
bind a target sample, a capacitive sensor element, and sensing circuitry for
determining the presence of a target sample bound to the binding site by
application of electrical signals to a capacitive sensor element. The capacitive
