Abstract: A method for carrying out the affinity separation of a target substance from a liquid test medium by mixing magnetic particles having surface immobilized ligand or receptor within the test medium to promote an affinity binding reaction between the ligand and the target substance. The test medium with the magnetic particles in a suitable container is removably mounted in an apparatus that creates a magnetic field gradient in the test medium. This magnetic gradient is used to induce the magnetic particles to move, thereby effecting mixing. The mixing is achieved either by movement of a magnet relative to a stationary container or movement of the container relative to a stationary magnet. In either case, the magnetic particles experience a continuous angular position change with the magnet. Concurrently with the relative angular movement between the magnet and the magnetic particles, the magnet is also moved along the length of the container causing the magnetic field gradient to sweep the entire length of the container. After the desired time, sufficient for the affinity reaction to occur, movement of the magnetic gradient is ended, whereby the magnetic particles are immobilized on the inside wall of the container nearest to the magnetic source. The remaining test medium is removed while the magnetic particles are retained on the wall of the container. The test medium or the particles may then be subjected to further processing.

Abstract: The op-amp circuit described herein utilizes current summing to substantially eliminate cross-over distortion. Therefore, the op-amp circuit is characterized by linearity over the operable voltage range of the amplifier. Additionally, the op-amp circuit is capable of rail-to-rail input and output voltage swings. Futhermore, the op-amp circuit is capable of operating with a power supply voltage as low as two volts when fabricated in modern CMOS fabrication processes, without requiring special processing steps. An output circuit within the op-amp circuit is configured with pullup and pulldown devices which combine to provide output voltages throughout the operable range of the op-amp. However, when an output voltage equal to the power supply voltage is desired, the pulldown device substantially stops its pulldown current flow. Therefore, the pullup device charges the output conductor of the op-amp circuit fully to the power supply voltage. Similarly, when an output voltage equal to the ground voltage is desired, the pullup device substantially stops its pullup current flow. Therefore, the pulldown device discharges the output conductor fully to the ground voltage.

The achieved increase in acidity is greater than would be obtained using an otherwise identical solution lacking said silicate. In one preferred embodiment, the monovalent metal used in the solution is Li+, Na+, or K+. Also disclosed is a method for increasing the acidity of a silica surface, by contacting the surface with an alkaline aqueous solution of the type noted above.

Abstract: Mehrpoliger Steckverbinder zum Anschluß eines mehrpoligen Litzenleiterkabels mit einer Kabelaufnahme und einem Steckteil, wobei die Litzenleiter zur axialen Kontaktierung der freien Enden mit zugeordneten Kontaktspießen des Steckteils in achsparallen Kanälen der Kabelaufnahme geführt und mittels einer Überwurfmutter in den Kanälen klemmend gehalten sind. Die Kabelaufnahme weist eine Litzenleiterhalterung zum unverrückbaren Fixieren der Litzenleiter und daran anschließend eine dem Steckteil zugewandte Endhalterung auf. Die Litzenleiterhalterung besteht aus einer festen, der Endhalterung zugewandten Fixierplatte und einer in axialer Richtung bewegbaren Klemmplatte, die jeden Litzenleiter bei der Bewegung in Richtung Fixierplatte gleichmäßig gegen Zugbewegungen unverrückbar klemmt. Die Endhalterung ist zumindest über die Eindringlänge der Kontaktspieße in die Kanäle in radialer Richtung elastisch ausgebildet, um bei eingeführten Kontaktspießen durch Zusammenquetschen am Umfang einen für die Kontaktierung im wesentlichen gleichmäßigen radialen Preßdruck in allen Kanälen bei angepaßtem Kanaldurchmesser zu erzeugen. Diese Ausbildung erlaubt einen sehr kurzen mehrpoligen Steckverbinder, bei dem die Anzahl der Litzenleiterkanäle und deren Bestückung keinen Einfluß auf die Klemmung hat. Gleichzeitig erfolgt die Klemmung nahe an dem Kontaktbereich, um ein Stauchen der Litzenleiter in den Kanälen zu vermeiden. Darüber hinaus wird durch diese Ausbildung ein Fliesen der Litzenleiterisolation beim Einstecken der Kontatkspieße durch flexible Kanalwände verhindert, andererseits aber ein permanenter und gleichmäßiger Kontaktdruck auf die verdichteten Litzenleiter sichergestellt.
