Filed: 1994-06-14
Abstract: The invention relates to a reagent test strip for use in an apparatus for measuring the glucose content in whole blood, which apparatus comprises optical means for measuring the reflection factor in wavelengths of ca. 635 nm and ca. 700 nm. The strip is provided at its one end with a porous section, which comprises a surface for reception of the sample and a test surface, from which a reading is made to the optical apparatus when the strip is introduced into the measuring apparatus. The porous section additionally comprises reagents, which, in the presence of whole blood, provoke a change in the reflection factor of the test surface, which change is dependent upon the glucose content, by forming a chromophore which absorbs at the ca. 635 wavelength but not significantly at the ca. 700 wavelength. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an improved method for accessing files in a computer system, file open requests are intercepted at the level of the operating system. The identity of the file to be opened is extracted from the request and a determination is made as to whether the identity of the requested file should be replaced with the identity of a substitute file to be opened instead of the requested file. If it is determined that the identity should be so replaced, the file open request is amended by substituting the identity of the substitute file for the identity of the requested file, and the request is passed on to its original destination for execution. This technique can be used to cause execution of a substitute program without the knowledge of the user. As an example, software metering can be implemented in a network system by substituting a different program from that requested when the number of copies of the requested program in use on the network has reached the maximum licensed number, so as to provide a user-friendly rejection of the program execution request.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the continuous production, with reduced gel formation, of free radical addition polymers from ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing at least one free hydroxyl group such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, from about 0 to about 5% by weight of an alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and the remainder of the monomers used are free radical addition copolymerizable compounds such as styrene, methyl methacrylate and butyl acrylate. The free radical addition polymerization is conducted at from about 150 DEG  C. to about 310 DEG  C. under superatmospheric pressure in the presence of one or more solvents. The solvent or the volume average of the solvent mixture has an overall calculated root mean square value of the hydrogen bonding and polar contributions of each solvent's solubility parameters in the range of from about 6 to about 15. The solvent or solvents in total have sufficient volatility under the conditions being used to conduct the polymerization such that any liquid condensate of vapor mixture forming on interior surfaces of the reactor equipment located above the surface of the monomer reactants contains at least 50 mole percent of the solvent to reduce gel formation on such interior surfaces. The process permits the continuous polymerization of the polymers over extended periods of time with reduced formation of gel particles and gel deposits.

A baffle 8 is provided in the upper end of the cylinder 1 of a hydro-pneumatic telescopic vibration damper so that, during withdrawal of a piston 2 by its rod 3 from the cylinder 1, the jets of oil which shoot into the space above the piston 2 as the oil passes through piston openings 6 do not produce undesired frothing and spraying of the cylinder end wall 42. Fluid passes through the annular gap 7 around the baffle corresponding to the change in the free interior cylinder space caused by the movements of the piston rod 3. The baffle may be of saucer, upright or inverted pot-shape or of H- section and may be supported from the end wall by a stem 44. Alternatively the baffle 8, having a truncated conical, or conical portion on its underside, of upright pot-shape or, as shown in Fig. 10, comprising a disc 17 having a sliding fit within the cylinder and provided with holes 40, may be suspended from the wall 42 by means of a spring such as 56. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3 a pot-shaped baffle 10 is guided by on stem 47 and urged downward by a spring 49. Rubber buffers may be attached to the end wall 42 and to the underside of the spring-supported baffle 10. A baffle such as 17, Fig. 10, but of constant section can be secured to the inner surface of the cylinder or a baffle 20 having apertures 38 as shown in Fig. 12, or with the baffle in an inverted position, can be secured in this manner. The baffle may be replaced by a cylindrical float and, as shown in Figs. 15, 16, a float 23 is supported around the inner wall of the cylinder by attachments 56 provided with gaps 28. A sieve 57 limits the downward movement of the float. The latter may be in the form of a hollow ball having a thickened submerged end and an opening in the top which is closed as it reaches the end wall 42 so that the float acts as a pneumatic stop. In the embodiment as shown in Fig. 18 when the piston 2 strikes the spring suspended baffle 25 and the piston apertures 6 are obturated a bore 31 in the baffle 35 prevents the blow from being too hard. In a modification, Fig. 20, the baffle comprises a bowl-shaped part having an opening 61 and which is fastened to the end wall 42 by an accordian type bellows 35 having a pot-shaped elastic insert 34 which covers a fluid inlet bore 61.

Filed: 1962-01-15
Abstract: 985, 926. Measuring wheel slip electrically. HAGGLUND & SONER A.B. Jan. 15, 1962, No. 1448/62. Heading G1N. Apparatus for detecting slip of vehicle wheels comprises a tachogenerator coupled to each of the wheels, producing voltages which are compared and operate an electronic switch to reduce the driving or braking force at a predetermined voltage difference consistent with a predetermined difference of speed between the wheels. As shown (Fig. 1) the rectified output voltage of tachogenerators 10, 12, 14 are fed through diodes 22, 24, 26 to a line 4 in one direction, and through diodes 28, 30, 32 to line 5 in the other direction, the lines 4, 5 being at the same potential. When the output from e.g. tachogenerator 10 increases, current flows through diode 22 and a transistor 42 to diodes 30 or 32. The current through the base-emitter circuit of transistor 42 is amplified by transistors 60, 64 to reduce the potential on a line 6 feeding the vehicle driving or braking means. At a higher value of slip a further group of transistors 44, 62, 66 conduct to reduce the potential on line 6 still further. The conducting condition of transistors 42, 60, 64 is maintained for a short period after slip is removed by a delay network 50, 52, 58. In a modified circuit Fig. 2 (not shown), two tachometers are bridge connected in parallel with potentiometers whose taps are adjusted so that for equal tachometer outputs a zero voltage is obtained with wheel slip, a voltage difference appears and causes reduction of the driving or braking potential on line 6 by bringing transistors similar to 60, 66 into the conductive state.
