Title: Monitoring bioelectrochemical reactions and novel media for bioelectrochemical reactions
Inventor: TURNER ANTHONY P F
IPC: C12N11/04
Filed: 1993-08-26
Abstract: ABSTRACT             Monitoring Bioelectrochencial Reactions and Novel Media for Bioelectrochemical Reactions A method of determining an analyte in the gaseous or vapour phase and in which a bioreceptor or biomimic is retained at an electrode.  The bioreceptor or biomimic is preferably retained at a support at the electrode which comprises a solid or gel matrix of an electrolyte, especially organic salt electrolytes.  Electrochemical detection of analytes in this way has several advantages over existing methods which rely on solution monitoring. For example gas sensors can be prepared for monitoring an analyte by the occurrence of a reaction with a bioreceptor or biomimic, in addition to monitoring the presence of toxins due to inhibition of the bioreceptor or biomimic reaction.  Furthermore, the invention enables gas or vapour analyte monitoring with increased sensitivity and speed and greater stability of the sensors can be achieved.  The invention also relates to novel media for carrying out bioelectrochemical reactions.

Patent CA-2107272-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KOBIELLA ROBERT J
IPC: B29C65/06
Filed: 1993-09-29
Abstract: The appts. (30) comprises essentially an anvil (32) and an opposed strap engaging member (80), with serrated faces (34, 112) through which the strap (U,L) passes. Anvil (32) has positioner that allows it to squeeze strap (U,L) against member (80) and plunger (92) at a first position, against plunger (92) only at a second position, and to disengage wholly at a third position. Strap engaging member (80) has a coaxial spring-loaded plunger (92) and is mounted on bearings (60) in cavity (54) of drive shaft (46), which itself is mounted on bearings (44) in bore (42) of support frame (40). The axis (58) of member (80) is offset (X) from the axis (48) of drive shaft (46), so rotation of the drive shaft confers an orbital motion to member (80). When the motion is applied to strap (U,L) clamped between anvil (32) and member (80), it creates friction between the strip faces and forms a friction weld conventionally. When anvil (32) is moved to the second position, the orbital motion is disengaged and smooth-faced plunger (92) maintains pressure on strap (U,L) while the weld cools.

Inventor: KLAPPERT WILLI
IPC: H01F27/24
Filed: 1993-09-30
Abstract: This wrapping apparatus comprises a belt nester for wrapping stacks of thin amorphous steel strips about ar arbor. The belt nester includes (a) a belt wrapped about the arbor and movable along its length to impart rotary motion to the arbor and (b) means for successively feeding individual ones of the stacks into the space between the belt and the arbor. The wrapping apparatus further comprises means defining a first substantially-flat surface upon which the stacks are supported as they are fed into the space between the belt and the arbor and additional means defining a second substantially-flat surface extending parallel to the first flat surface. Control means operates when a stack that is being wrapped on the arbor passes between said flat surfaces to bias one of the flat surfaces toward the other and to compress the stack between the two flat surfaces as the stack is wrapped.      This compression removes wrinkles from the strips, removes air pockets from between the strips, and enables the stack to be more effectively guided by guide members at the longitudinal edges of the stack.
