Abstract: Plungers (11) having pressing surfaces (14) are immersed into contact with tempered chocolate mass (6) in corresponding moulds (7), the chocolate thereby being pressed into shells (20). The temperature of the pressing surfaces (14) are kept below the solidification temperature of the chocolate mass during the pressing. The chocolate rapidly solidifies under crystallisation from its surface in contact with the pressing surface (14) of the plunger, however the plungers are retracted before the shell has solidified completely. The remaining heat in the shell secures preservation and growth of stable beta crystals, and the inner surfaces of the shells are simply identical "prints" of the geometry of the plunger surfaces (14). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of biochemical laboratory. More particularly the invention relates to the improved and more efficient instrumental features of equipment used as e.g. fluorometers, photometers and luminometers. The object of the invention is achieved by providing an optical measurement instrument where there is an interface (218, 223, 233a, 233b, 238) for a changeable optical module (240), the interface being adapted for at least one excitation beam and at least two emission beams. This allows performing various types of measurements by changing an optical module. The change of module and related parameters can be performed automatically controlled by software. It is also possible to easily upgrade the instrument for new types of measurements by just providing the instrument with a new optical module and the related software. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A composite utility knife blade and method of making such a blade involves butt joining a tool steel wire (44) to a front edge of an alloy steel backing strip (34). The wire (44) is electron beam welded to the backing strip (34) to form a composite strip defining a first metal portion (20) formed by the alloy steel backing strip (34), a second metal portion (22) formed by the tool steel wire (44), and a weld region (28) joining the first and second metal portions. The composite strip is then annealed, and the annealed strip is straightened to eliminate any camber therein. The annealed composite strip is then hardened such that the first metal portion defines a surface hardness within the range of approximately 38 Rc to approximately 52 Rc, and the second metal portion defines a surface hardness within the range of approximately 60 Rc to approximately 75 Rc. The hardened strip is then subjected to at least two tempering and quenching cycles. Then, facets are formed on the edge of the second metal portion to form a straight, tool steel cutting edge along at least one side of the composite strip. The composite strip is then scored at axially spaced locations to form a plurality of score lines, wherein each score line is oriented at an acute angle relative to the axis of the strip, and the plurality of score lines define a plurality of blade sections and scrap sections located between the blade sections. Each scrap section is bent outwardly relative to a plane of the composite strip on one side of a respective scorn line, the composite strip is then pressed on an opposite side of the respective score line, and the respective blade section is then snapped away from the bent scrap section along the respective score line.
