Abstract: The aim of the invention is to obtain a cost-effective solution for providing a microsystem with bearings, which have sufficiently high precision and long-term stress resistance. The invention proposes a method for manufacturing, adapting or adjusting a bearing portion in a fluidal microcomponent (M) comprising a stator (30) and a rotor (40,2). Said rotor is rotatably supported on the at least one bearing portion (L10,L11) relative to said stator. Said rotor (40,2) is rotatably supported by a sleeve (10, 11) inserted into said stator (30), for forming said bearing portion, the at least one sleeve being inserted in said stator as a bearing sleeve and comprising an inner surface and an outer surface (10i, 10a; 11i, 11a). Before being inserted in said stator, said bearing sleeve (10, 11) is a separate bearing component comprising an inner surface (10i, 11i) as an inner bearing surface, which is mechanically micro-finished before being inserted into said stator (30). The outer surface (10a, 11a) of said bearing component (10, 11) is mechanically permanently connected with said stator (30).

Abstract: A cutting mat comprises a cutting mat body and a lock assembly arranged to secure the cutting mat to a rotary anvil. The lock assembly comprises male and female locking members formed at opposite ends of the cutting mat and integral therewith. There are no metal frames or other components welded or otherwise secured to the male or female locking members. The female locking member slips into an axial channel on a rotary anvil. The cutting mat is wrapped around the rotary anvil, and the male member is inserted into the axial channel in locking relationship with the female locking member. Further, the axial edges of the cutting mat are formed in mating, complimentary serpentine shape to prevent a cutting blade from slipping into the seam between adjacent cutting mat surfaces.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a surge arrestor having a middle electrode and at least one outer electrode, in which an electrically conductive spring clip is secured to the middle electrode and exerts a spring power on the outer electrode; in which an electrical component part that is non-conductive at the trigger voltage of the surge arrestor and generates heat given a flow of current is arranged between the spring clip and the outer electrode; in which the spring clip lies against an electrically conductive contact element that is secured to a spacer element using a fusible mass and that is spaced from the outer electrode; and in which, when the fusible mass melts, the contact element is pressed against the outer electrode by the spring clip. The trigger mechanism has the advantage that it reacts very quickly and thereby reduces the formation of sparks and the fire hazard as well.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of retinal (I) comprises reacting a 5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-1-enyl)-1,4-pentadiene derivative (IIa) or a 5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-enyl)-1,4-pentadiene derivative (IIb) or a 5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ylidene)-1-pentene derivative (IIc) or a 5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-1-enyl)-penta-1-en-4-yne derivative (IId) or a 5-(2,6,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-enyl)-penta-1-en-4-yne derivative (IIe) with a 1,3-butadiene derivative H2C-C(CH3)CCH-CHOR4 (III) in the presence of a Lewis or Brönsted acid and subjecting the compound obtained in each case [(IVa), (IVb), (IVc), (IVd) or (IVe), respectively] to basic or acidic conditions to eliminate therefrom the moiety R2H and thus produce, according to the immediate precursor, retinal itself or a particular derivative thereof [(I'), (I''), (Va) or (Vb), respectively] and, where in two cases such derivative is produced featuring a triple bond [derivative (Va) or (Vb)], hydrogenating this to produce retinal (I) or the derivative (I'), respectively, and each case where a derivative (I') or (I'') has been produced, isomerizing this under basic or acidic conditions or in the presence of a metal catalyst to the desired retinal (I). The so-produced retinal is usually in the form of an isomeric mixture, normally as (9 E/Z, 13 E/Z)-retinal, and this can be isomerized according to a further inventive aspect to (all-E)-retinal by the acid-catalyzed formation of an adduct of (all-E)-retinal with hydroquinone in crystalline form. The so obtained (all-E)-retinal-hydroquinone adduct can then if desired be converted to vitamin A alcohol in the predominantly (all-E)-isomeric form by a method known per se. The novel starting materials (IIa), (IIb), (IIc), (IVI) and (IIe) represent a still further inventive aspect. Retinal is a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of further vitamin A compounds (retinoids). The retinoids, particularly vitamin A alcohol (retinol), are known to be valuable substances which promote the well-being of humans, inter alia in respect of vision, the immune system and growth, and for this reason are often used as components of multivitamin preparations and as additives for certain food- and feedstuffs.

Abstract: An identification transponder (IDT) for supplying an identification code to a base station (BS) varies an RF signal transmitted by the base station (BS) in a rhythm that corresponds to the identification code. The identification transponder (IDT) has identification code generation means (IDCG) for generating the identification code, rectifier means (RTF) for AC coupling with the base station (BS) for applying a supply voltage (V 1 ) to the identification code generation means (IDCG), a modulation transistor (TM), voltage adaptation means (VADPT) for adapting the voltage levels of the identification code and for supplying the code with adapted voltage levels to a control terminal of the modulation transistor (TM), and further rectifier means (FRTF) for the aforementioned AC coupling to the base station (BS) for applying a separate supply voltage (V 2 ) to the voltage adaptation means (VADPT). The modulation transistor (TM) may perform two tasks: the task of rectifying the RF signal, and the task of supplying a variable load to the rectifier means (RTF). The variable load varies in the rhythm. As a consequence, the input current of the rectifier means (RTF) is varied in the rhythm, which in its turn varies the RF signal. This variation in the RF signal is detected in the base station (BS).

Abstract: The inventive method for the wedge-free bonding of planar surfaces comprises, in essence, a concluding phase involving bringing the surfaces to be bonded closer together. During this phase, the surfaces are brought closer together essentially by means of capillary forces and, optionally, with the aid of gravity. It is advantageous, before the actual bonding process, to parallelly align the surfaces to be bonded by simply placing one component atop the other. This enables, once adhesive (11) has been applied to the center of the first surface, the second surface, in the initial phase, to be quickly advanced toward the first surface up to a distance of 0.5 mm therefrom. In the intermediate phase of bringing the surfaces closer together, a slow average speed is selected in order to prevent the formation of bubbles once the adhesive comes into contact with the second surface.

Abstract: A competitive assay to determine the presence and concentration of an intracellular analyte (e.g., cAMP) in a sample is provided. All of the steps of the assay can be performed on the same assay plate, thereby eliminating the need to transfer the cells from a tissue culture plate on which the cells are grown, induced and lysed to a separate assay plate. The assay procedure includes combining, in a reaction chamber provided with a capture antibody, an antibody for the analyte, the sample to be assayed, and a conjugate of the analyte and an enzyme such as alkaline phosphatase. The mixture is incubated and washed and an enzyme labile substrate (e.g., a chemiluminescent, fluorescent or calorimetric substrate) is added. The assay can also be performed with a tagged analyte (e.g., an analyte having a radioactive or fluorescent tag) instead of an enzyme conjugate.
