Abstract: A method for arranging on location a tube from pliable foil material (1) which is held in a tubular shape by one or more curved ribbings, for example in the form of a spirally wound wire (2), which tube is compressed in axial sense for transporting and storage. 
     Such tubes are typically manufactured from aluminium foil material which is very sensitive to deformation as a result of localized pressure. Since for transport purposes such a tube is compressed beforehand in axial sense (4) in the factory where it is manufactured so that a small packet is obtained, this must be stretched to the normal operational length on site. 
     To avoid damage during stretching, the invention provides that prior to expanding, at least one annular body (10) is arranged in or round the tube such that at a determined cross-section of the tube a radial pressure is exerted on the foil material on all sides, the body is then moved along the tube in axial sense by means of a pulling element while applying a friction, in order to expand the tube.

Abstract: A heat exchange arrangement (70) in an annular fan duct of a gas turbine engine (10) includes a conduit (58) routing hot bleed air flow, a heat exchanger (60) disposed within the fan duct (44) and connected with the conduit such that hot air is passed through the interior of the heat exchanger (60), and at least one and preferably a pair of partition members (74) disposed within the fan duct (44) for temporarily diverting a small portion of the main air flow from the fan duct and over the exterior of the heat exchanger (60) in heat transfer relationship with the hot air passing through the interior of the heat exchanger. The small air flow portion rejoins the main air flow through the fan duct and is used to generate engine thrust after cooling the hot bleed air flow carried by the conduit (58). The partition members (74) disposed adjacent to opposite sides of the heat exchanger and a support member (40) define therewith an air diffusion passage (76) through which the small fan duct air flow portion is diverted temporarily from the main fan duct air flow. The passage has an inlet (78) and an outlet (80) communicating with the main air flow and is larger in cross-sectional size at the location of the heat exchanger (60) than at the inlet and outlet such that the small air flow portion decreases in velocity after entering the passage through the inlet and before reaching the heat exchanger and then increases in velocity after leaving the heat exchanger and approaching the outlet.

Abstract: Beverages, in particular wine, are preserved by forming an atmosphere within the container (84,85), above the liquid level, which will help to preserve the qualities of the beverage. In the case of still beverages, a subatmospheric pressure will be produced by placing a non-return valve (45) in the mouth of the container and then evacuating air from the container. In the case of sparkling beverages, a superatmospheric pressure is produced instead. The pressure inside the container is produced by a motor driven pump (24) and is controlled so that when a predetermined pressure level is reached, the pump stops pumping and the container is sealed.

Abstract: An assay, method of performing said assay, and apparatus, capable of generating an "on"/"off" response from a changing concentration of sample analyte, are described. The assay system comprises a high affinity binding component for a sample analyte and has an analyte dissociation constant substantially less than the concentration of analyte to be measured. Under initial conditions, wherein there is an absence of added analyte, a substantial number of binding sites must be empty. The concentration of empty binding sites determines the threshold analyte concentration, or "trigger point," for the "on"/"off" switch. Also required are a means for determining when excess analyte is present after the binding sites are substantially completely filled, wherein said means has an affinity for analyte which is substantially less than the binding component affinity for analyte. 
     Also described is a diagnostic apparatus, comprising a set of compartments, each with a different threshold analyte concentration. A signal is generated in each compartment only when the analyte concentration is greater than the preset threshold, allowing instrument-independent, accurate measurement of analyte concentration.

Abstract: In this method, one attaches oe or more chelatant molecules to a mono- or polyamino intermediate compound I which is temporarily immobilized on a solid phase by a splittable bond. Thereafter, said bond is split to release the desired conjugate moiety, whereby a reactive site is generated at the splitting site. The conjugate can be coupled to a protein homing factor using said reactive site; the latter being single per chelatant molecule, undesirable cross-linking during conjugation is substantially avoided.

Abstract: Un appareil permet de mesurer la vitesse ou la longueur d'une surface en mouvement au moyen d'un faisceau de lumière de mesure émis par un laser. La fréquence du faisceau de lumière laser réfléchi par la surface à mesurer est décalée, à cause de l'effet Doppler, de sorte que la superposition du faisceau de départ sur le faisceau incident produit un battement qui constitue une mesure de la vitesse de la surface. Avant que la vitesse ne puisse être déterminée, un grand nombre de signaux numériques doivent être traités dans un système d'évaluation. Le système d'évaluation se caractérise par le fait qu'une mémoire temporaire est connectée en aval d'un compteur à haute vitesse destiné à saisir les signaux entrants. La mémoire temporaire est connectée à un totalisateur qui surveille cycliquement le contenu du compteur. Un mécanisme de commande assure la coordination entre le compteur, la mémoire temporaire et le totalisateur, et est connecté en aval d'une horloge. Le totalisateur additionne les résultats obtenus par le compteur, qui surviennent à une vitesse sensiblement plus réduite que les signaux de mesure individuels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for data transmission by means of electrical distribution lines, a bandspreading technology being used. The transmission signal used is generated with the aid of coefficients of a selected favourable autocorrelation function with a high primary-to-secondary maximum ratio. The modulation of the signal with binary data is carried out by corresponding polarisation of the coefficient sequence (1). The coefficient sequence is converted into a frequency-shift-modulated transmission signal (3). At the receiving end, said signal is initially converted back into a multi-stage voltage with the aid of a PLL circuit (5) with subsequent correlation reception (6), the autocorrelation function used occurring as an output signal whose primary maximum can be detected reliably and without being synchronised with the mains frequency even at a high data rate and with a transmission channel severely affected by interference. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a known, evidently previously used brake system for the pneumatically sprung axles of a double axle unit with automatic axle load distribution the brake forces of the drive axle and of the supplementary axle are controlled separately in that an automatic brake pressure control device (ALB) is assigned to both the drive axle and to the supplementary axle. This, however, results in relatively high equipment and assembly costs. In the invention the drive axle is controlled in a known manner by way of an automatic brake pressure control device (ALB) which is actuated by the air bellows of this axle. The supplementary axle, on the other hand, is controlled by way of a relay valve which is actuated by the air bellows of this supplementary axle, thereby always permitting a brake pressure corresponding to the axle load. This results in optimum control of the brake pressures of both axles and locking of the wheels is reliably prevented in all axle load ranges. The brake system is at the same time especially cost-effective and uncomplex. It permits a simple ABS control and a simple ABS + ASR control. <IMAGE>
