Abstract: A body fluid sample and a reagent are reacted in a reaction container, and after measuring the reaction solution the reaction solution is discharged from the reaction container. The vacant reaction container is washed by charging a detergent solution containing plural kinds of surface active agents through a nozzle of a washing mechanism. The detergent solution is a mixed solution containing polyoxyethylene alkil ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol ether, N-acyl amino acid salt and polyacrylic salt. By the washing method in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to eliminate bad effects due to incomplete washing of reaction containers in an apparatus for automatically successively analyzing biological samples.

Abstract: The transfer unit, situated between two conveyors (1, 8) on the same level, has a flat supporting surface (6) lying in the same plane as those of the two conveyors. It is in the form of a horizontal platform (9) on which the supporting surface is mounted, having a vertical guide (92) and connected to a drive (14 - 19) producing a high-frequency and low-amplitude oscillating motion. The drive comprises an oscillation generator (17) with a cam (18) which rotates about a horizontal axis and is connected via an arm (19) to the transfer unit. The motion is transmitted to the transfer unit via a bearing travelling in an elongated slot formed by two holes with a diameter slightly greater than that of the bearing and with centres spaced at an interval equivalent to that of the cam's eccentricity.

Abstract: A depuncturing circuit is provided which can process a convolutional code changing its code rate in unit of block. A punctured convolutional code changing its code rate in unit of block is written in a memory circuit 11. 
A puncturing enable signal  j  is repetitively generated by a puncturing enable creating circuit until the block number counted by a counter 13 with reference to an index  h  reaches the block number stored in the puncturing enable creating circuit 15. The puncturing enable signal  j  is supplied to a read address generator 16 and a selection circuit 17. The read address generator 16 increments a read address when the puncturing enable signal  j  takes a high potential to read data  l  stored in the memory circuit 11. The selection circuit 17 selects the data  l  while the puncturing enable signal  j  takes the high potential and selects dummy data  m  while it takes a low potential, to thus depuncture the convolutional code. 
The depunctured data is parallel converted and output.

Abstract: A motor operator unit for an electrical switch is pivotally mounted on a bracket to swing between a closed, operative position in which an actuator in the motor operator unit engages the switch handle for electrical operation of the switch handle and an open position in which the switch handle is freely accessible for direct manual operation. The compliant actuator which is translated by a motor driven threaded shaft overtravels at each end of its reciprocal path after actuation of the switch handle to toggle a single power switch which determines both direction and shutoff of motor operation. A lockout plate mechanically prevents electrical and manual operation of the switch handle and carries an interlock switch which only enables motor operation when the motor operator unit is in the operative position and not locked out. The actuator is configured to prevent full rotation of the motor operator to the operative position, if the position of the actuator, which is virtually identified by indicators, does not correspond to handle position.

Abstract: Proposed is a novel aqueous organopolysiloxane emulsion composition of the oil-in-water type suitable as an additive ingredient in toiletry preparations for hair-care treatment, of which the organopolysiloxane particles have a relatively large volume-average particle diameter of 3 to 100 µm as emulsified by using a quaternary ammonium chloride as a cationic surface active agent. The emulsion composition is advantageous in respect of the improved stability of the emulsion and increased retention on the hair treated with the hair-care composition. The emulsion composition is prepared in a process comprising the steps of: mixing the organopolysiloxane and the cationic surface active agent with a relatively small volume of water; vigorously agitating the mixture so as to cause phase inversion into an oil-in-water base emulsion; and diluting the base emulsion with an additional volume of water, optionally, containing the cationic surface active agent.

Abstract: A method of nuclear quadrupole resonance testing a sample is disclosed in which the excitation applied to the sample is arranged so that phase and amplitude information may be obtained from the response signal, and in which the signal is resolved into two components. Particularly if a parameter such as radio-frequency field strength varies with position, this may give an indication of the distribution of nuclei in the sample, preferably from the phase of the response signal. Positional information can also be obtained by measuring from two or more reference points. This may be employed in imaging. The phase information may be employed to improve the signal to noise ratio obtainable in other methods where only amplitude information was previously available, for example in distinguishing genuine NQR response signals from spurious signals.
