Abstract: An optical apparatus for providing a two-­dimensional output representation of reflection characteristics of an eye fundus in which a laser beam is passed through an anamorphic optical element (13, 15) to produce an output beam focused on a first axis and dispersed on a second axis normal to the first axis forming a line. The line of the output beam is directed onto a scanning element (17) which moves the beam long the first axis and a focusing element (18) directing the output beam from the scanning element through the pupil of the eye (19) onto the fundus (19a), the size of the beam being such that it has a small cross sectional area at the pupillary plane of the eye compared to the diameter of the pupil. The light from the fundus is reflected back through an exit aperture which is large compared to cross sectional dimen­sion of the input beam at the pupillary plane. The device includes a detector (21) which extends along the non-scanning coordinate of the scanned area. A beam separating means (17) separates the input laser beam from the reflected output beam which is directed toward the detector positioned at a retinal conjugate of the eye. Signal processing means (16) processes the signals received at the detector to provide the two-dimensional output repre­sentation.

Abstract: According to the invention a solution is proposed of a current mounting problem in toy objects of plastics, primarily non-rigid plastics. The problem resides in that metal axles, rods or the like with associated details, e.g. wheels, cannot in a simple manner be mounted rigidly and permanently in its place in the toy object, on account of obstructing portions of the object. The solution proposed amounts to the axle (45) etc. be mounted in two steps, first in an opening (44˝) so located that no obstacle is met, then in an opening (44′) wherein the axle (45) assumes its intended final position. The two openings (44) are united by a connecting slot (46) whose width is less than the diameter of the openings so that the axle (45) can be forced along the slot while overcoming a slight resistance of deformation. In such a way the axle (45), possibly with wheels (40) mounted, can be brought to assume its final position while circumventing the obstacle.

Abstract: In an assay where a ligand or organism is detected by a detector binding protein ("DBP") capable of generating a signal in proportion to the amount of ligand or organism bound to the DBP, the presence of the ligand or organism is confirmed by the use, prior to or concurrently with the DBP, of a confirmatory binding protein ("CBP") which binds to a second site on the ligand or organism, and thereby prevents the DBP from binding to the first site. Thus, a reduction in signal of a predetermined amount indicates the true presence of the ligand or organism, while failure to obtain signal reduction of a predetermined amount indicates that the original signal was a false positive due to assay artifact or detection of related ligands or organisms. In a preferred embodiment, the CBP is a monoclonal antibody and the organism is derived from  Chlamydia  species.

Abstract: A system for copying images onto a long sheet of paper (4) or vinyl while. A flow of constant-pressure air is pulse-width modulated in accordance with the control signals and passed over an ink meniscus maintained on the end of a small nozzle (38). The pulse-modulated air flowing across the meniscus causes the ink to be sprayed onto the recording medium. The dot size on the image remains constant and the pulse width within each pixel is varied to produce the desired density of color. Pressure surges in the ink supply system (34,36), produced for example by vibration or acceleration of the ink, are suppressed by a second meniscus (54) in the ink-supply system, formed by a gas bubble or interface near the nozzle meniscus. The second meniscus (54) should have a surface area at least as large as that of the jet meniscus. At the end of each pixel, the ink flow is interrupted for a period of about 100 microseconds to restore system equilibrium. A second and continuous air flow around the air nozzle (42) supplies air to the turbulent flow across the ink jet and reduces recirculation of atomized ink (44) and minimizes contamination of the nozzle (38) and adjacent surfaces. The supply roll (2) is mounted at each end on independently movable arms (102,102a).

Abstract: Edible spreads are prone to microbiological spoilage by a number of organisms, including molds and bacteria as well as by physical changes occurring on storage. While the growth of these organisms and consequently the onset of spoilage can be inhibited by the use of preservatives, some consumers find preservatives unacceptable. We have determined that in edible fat products wherein the fat phase comprise a homogeneous dispersion of fine crystals and in which the fat phase is essentially free of crystalline aggregates spoilage is greatly reduced. Anhydrous products can be produced by melting the fat, substantially in the absence of an aqueous medium, cooling the melted fat to a temperature at which partial crystallization occurs, homogenising the partially crystallised fat, and, cooling the homogenised fat to further crystallise the fat. By means of a modified process it is possible to produce comprising 50-60% fat phase, 40-50% water phase, 0.1-1% lecithin, 0.01-1% salt, being essentially free of monoglycerides, proteins and sorbate salts, which are stable on storage.

Abstract: The improved hourglass worm gear which has been produced by grinding a blank for the worm gear by rotating a grinding wheel about a grinding wheel shaft A while turning the grinding wheel shaft A about a tool shaft A3 which extends in parallel with a wheel shaft A2 perpendicular to a worm shaft A1 is characterized in that a cross-sectional shape of the grinding wheel taken in a plane inclusive of the grinding wheel shaft A exhibits a circular arc. 
     Since the cross-sectional shape of the grinding wheel for successively grinding a series of gear tooth surfaces on the hourglass worm gear is contoured in the form of a circular arc, the hourglass worm gear assures that a radius r of the circular arc has an increased degree of freedom and an ideal contact pattern can be obtained by properly adjusting the radius r. 
     A contour of each gear tooth shape having few variation of gear tooth engagement is determined by correctly adjusting the radius r of the circular arc as well as various conditions associated with correct generation of a series of gear tooth surfaces on the worm gear in order to assure the ideal contact pattern regardless of displacement of shafts as well as displacement of each gear tooth under a large magnitude of load.
