Abstract: The analyser has three rotors, namely a reagent rotor (1), a sample rotor (2) and a reaction rotor (3). Each rotor has recesses for vessels arranged in circles around the respective rotor axis. At least two of the rotors (1, 2) are arranged concentrically with each other. The rotors can be moved into a multiplicity of rotary positions in which at least one of the openings (5b, 7b, 8b) is always in a predetermined liquid handling position (LH position). A liquid handling device (LH device) has a liquid-transfer needle (18) which can be moved by means of a transfer-needle movement device in such a way that the movement path (23) crosses at least one LH position of each circle of openings (5b, 7b, 8b) on each rotor (1, 2, 3). This makes it possible to carry out a wide variety of heterogeneous immunological analyses in a flexible way with a simple constructional arrangement. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention is directed to the formation of homogeneous, aqueos precursor mixtures of at least one soluble metal salt and amino acid. This produces, upon evaporation, a substantially homogeneous intermediate material having a concentration which would support combustion. A metal oxide powder results on ignition of the intermediate product which combusts same to produce the product powder. An aqueous solution of metal nitrates or other soluble metal salts and a low molecular weight amino acid is coated onto a substrate and pyrolyzed to form a thin ceramic film. The amino acid serves to prevent precipitation of individual solution components, forming a very viscous liquid as excess water is evaporated.

Abstract: A method of pairing disk units in a computer system where mirroring is desirable is disclosed. Where possible, disk units are paired with other disk units located on a different bus. This provides the highest level of protection against inaccessible data due to data loss or failure of a component in the computer system. Where this is not possible, the remaining disk units are paired with disk units located on a different I/O processor, a different controller, or a different disk enclosure. Where none of these pairings are possible, the remaining disk units fall below the threshold level of protection and therefore cannot be paired within the segment. Any disk units that could not be paired are placed on a spare list. Several attempts are made to pair up disk units on the spare list. If all of these attempts fail, the paired disk units with the lowest level of protection are broken apart and added to the spare list, where attempts are again made to pair up the disk units on the spare list. After all units are paired, a pair of disk units is compared with other pairs of disk units to see if the level of protection can be increased by swapping mates. This comparison of pairs of disk units is repeated until the level of protection is optimized. Each time the computer system is started, a check is made to determine if a configuration change resulted in a lower level of protection. If so, the user is asked if he would like the disk units on the computer system to be re-paired to increase the level of protection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device is useful for correcting the grid in a TV set. In known grid-correction devices, in particular for correcting the convergence, correction values for certain pixels determined by points of intersection (K) of a grid pattern are stored in memories. In devices with several operating modes with different deflection amplitudes, fresh correction values must be stored for each operating mode, because the points of intersection shift on the picture area. In order to reduce the number of memories in operating modes with different deflection amplitudes, the instantaneous position of the control pulses for the grid pattern is varied so that the points of intersection (K) are always located at the same spatial positions of the picture area (1). The device is particularly useful for correcting the convergence in projection TV sets.
