Abstract: Locking device for wheel bolt (1) with bolt head (2) and threaded shaft portion, and a blind hole opening at a bolt end, and has at least two radial recesses (4). A bore (3) in the bolt shaft receives a screw (5) with a radial recess (5a). The screw extends through an inner and an outer ring (6, 7) which each have a through−opening (6a; 7a) each having a radial groove (6b; 7b). The inner and outer rings (6, 7) are rotatably arranged about the screw (5) and in relation to each other, thus that the grooves (6b; 7b) and the recess (5a) can be brought to coincide and thereby to form a continuous channel. An axially extending cam (10) arranged on a hub−formed centre part (11) is inserted in the channel, thus that its outer cam portion (10a) is situated in one of the recesses (4), and its inner cam portion (10b) in a space between the inner ring (6) and the outer ring (7), whereby the rings (6, 7) following a mutual rotation relative to each other are adjustable thus that portions of the channel formed by the grooves (6b; 7b)and the recess (5a) are angularly displaced and thereby arrest the outer and/or inner cam part (10a, 10b) from being pulled out.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cost-effective amperometric thick-film biosensor, which can be manufactured simply, saving material, and is easy to operate, for a quantitative H202 determination in low concentrations and to a method for producing said sensor. The inventive biosensor enables H202 to be determined in the concentration range of between 10 and 10,000 nM, in particular in the submicromolar range. Said sensor is produced using a 2-electrode system, which is manufactured in a screen printing process, said system comprising a platinum or gold electrode on a substrate as the working electrode, a silver electrode as the counter-electrode, contact paths and contact points of said electrodes and an electrically insulating lacquer layer, which covers the surfaces of the substrate without the printed electrodes and the contact paths that have been applied. The silver electrode of the 2-electrode system is then electrochemically coated with a silver chloride layer, an anodic current is conducted through the silver electrode in a solution containing chloride and a solution or suspension containing a polymer, the mediator and the enzyme is subsequently applied uniformly to the electrodes and the spaces between the latter, or solely to the working electrode and dried.

Abstract: A surgical tool includes a member, a guide wire received within the member by a friction fit, and a guide wire pusher for application of a force to the guide wire to overcome the friction fit and advance the guide wire relative to the member. The member includes a guide wire retainer that provides the friction fit and allows the guide wire to be held in such a way that it is pre-assembled and secure while the tool is being introduced to a surgical site. At the same time, once a hole is drilled into bone, the guide wire retainer allows the remainder of the tool to be removed leaving the guide wire in place at the site. The guide wire pusher allows the guide wire to be impacted into the bone before drilling and limits any possibility of drilling past the end of the guide wire.

The procedure for transfer of a coating on to articles with a rough or crooked surface comprises a first stage of applying to the articles a coating carried by a transfer support. The transfer support has a pyrolysis temperature which is less than the melting temperature of the coating. The coating itself has an adhesion temperature which is less than the pyrolysis temperature of the transfer support. The articles which have been coated are then subject to the melting point temperature of the coating. The transfer support is then partially retracted before subjecting the articles to an increase in temperature.
