Abstract: An oral fluid collection and transfer device comprises a collection device (10) and a test cartridge (100). The collection device includes a frame or chassis (14), and an absorbing pad (12) for absorbing oral fluid and which is secured around part of the frame with part of the frame protruding from the pad. A collapsible cover (16) covers the absorbing means and has apertures (68) forthe ingress of oral fluid into contact with the absorbing pad. Acap (18) covers the part of the frame protruding from the absorbing pad. The cap and the cover latch together to surround the frame and the absorbing pad. The device also includes a fluid adequacy indicator (20) in the form of an electrical circuit with an LED (66) which is completed when the absorbing means has absorbed a predetermined volume of oral fluid. The test cartridge (100) has a collection chamber (110) to allow insertion of the collection device into the test cartridge. A test strip (150) is used to for test the oral fluid for the presence of analytes. The collection device (10) is located at a fixed location relative to the test cartridge (100) within the collection chamber(110), in which location the absorbing pad (12) undergoes a controlled degree of compression, thereby transferring a predetermined volume of oral fluid from the absorbing pad to the test strip. A transportation vial may also be provided for the secure transportation of a sample of oral fluid to a laboratory for test verification. After initial testing, the collection device (10) is inserted into a transportation vial (180) wherein the remaining oral fluid contained within the collection device (10) is transferred to a sample vial (190) containing a preservative substance to prevent degradation of the sample during transportation. The collection device (10) and transportation vial (180) are repackaged and sealed with a tamper proof seal before being returned to a laboratory for confirmation or further tests. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de diminuer les écarts entre une intensité efficace (IRMS) et une intensité mesurée (Imess) dans une régulation d'intensité à modulation de largeur d'impulsion, en particulier pour des organes électroniques de commande de freinage de véhicule automobile. Selon ce procédé, l'intensité mesurée (Imess) est déterminée à un instant prédéfini spécifique dans une période de commande (tPWM) et une compensation est effectuée par le biais de valeurs de compensation dépendant de la température et/ou de la tension d'alimentation. Ces valeurs de compensation sont ajoutées à l'intensité mesurée (Imess), de sorte qu'une intensité de consigne corrigée (Isoll) est disponible pour la régulation d'intensité. Ladite invention concerne également un ensemble circuit, destiné à commander plusieurs charges inductives et comprenant un circuit pour la régulation à modulation de largeur d'impulsion du courant de charge. Par ailleurs, le procédé de la présente invention est mis en oeuvre sous la forme d'un programme dans un micro-ordinateur ou système microinformatique, relié électriquement au circuit de modulation de largeur d'impulsion.

Abstract: The block comprises a flat or cone-shaped plate with cutting blades (2) mounted on it so that one end of the blade cutting edge (6) is closer to the block rotation axis than the other end. The cutting edge is bordered by a timber guide surface and a chip guide surface (13), the timber guide surface having an angle relative to its rotation plane which varies over its length, so that the largest angle is at the end of the cutting edge closest to the rotation axis and the angle then reduces in the outwards direction. The chip guide surface also has an angle relative to its rotation plane which varies over its length, so that the angle at the end of the cutting edge closest to the rotation axis increases in the outwards direction, ensuring that the cutting edge angle between the timber and chip guide surfaces remains essentially constant over the entire length of the cutting edge.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring a door gap to determine whether a proper final closed position of doors exists after a closing of doors of rail vehicles, or other vehicles or elevators. The vehicles or elevators have at least one door leaf which is equipped on its main closing edge with an elastically deformable or elastically mounted profile. The position and/or shape of the profile is detected by electric, pneumatic, optical, inductive, capacitive or magnetic sensors or a combination of such sensors in connection with an electronic monitoring system which analyzes the signals of the sensors and, if applicable, determines the existence of the door gap. The method steps include closing the doors, activating the electronic monitoring system after the closing of the doors; monitoring the door gap and determining a final closed position of the doors by the electronic monitoring system.

Title: Methods and devices for monitoring a clamping pressure, which is exerted by an actuating cylinder and fixes an interchangeable electrode to the electrode support arm

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to prevent a detrimental effect on the operation of electric smelting furnaces. To achieve this, a pressure cell ( 41 ), which continuously measures the clamping force, is allocated to the actuating cylinder ( 21 ) that is responsible for fixing the interchangeable electrode ( 31 ) into the electrode support arm ( 11 ), said pressure cell continuously transmitting the measured values to a measured value display that is located at a distance from the furnace. This obviates the need for the previous conventional method of checking the current clamping pressure by placing a clamping pressure gauge in the electrode holder, e.g. when the electrode is replaced, without running the risk of a breakdown caused by the detachment of the electrode, triggered by an uncontrolled drop in the clamping pressure.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés de traitement de données entrantes permettant de recevoir des données entrantes et de déterminer si il est nécessaire d'effectuer ou non un routage passif des données entrantes, en fonction d'un ou de plusieurs hôtes de destination associés aux données entrantes. Selon l'invention, le routage passif consiste à stocker les données entrantes seulement sur une mémoire volatile et à retenir la confirmation de réception des données entrantes jusqu'à ce que la confirmation de distribution soit reçue, soit à partir de l'hôte de destination ou à partir d'un routeur en aval. Le fait de déterminer si un routage passif doit être employé ou non peut impliquer la prise en considération de données historiques pour l'hôte de destination, en tant que données de contrôle. Cette détermination peut également être fondée sur le nombre d'hôtes de destination.

Abstract: The clamping system, to hold one or more workpieces in defined positions at a machine tool, and the like, has one clutch section (10) and a second clutch section (15) which can be fixed and released. The first clutch section has at least three tapering centering lugs (1-4) which engage in matching grooves (21-24) at the other section. The lugs rest against only one flank (21a,22b,23a,24b) of their grooves, leaving a gap (S1-S4) between them and the other groove flanks (21b,22a,23b,24a). The structure ensures that the clutch facing surfaces are clamped together in the X- and Y-directions and are pressed together on the Z-axis.
