Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE97/02791 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1999 PCT Filed Nov. 29, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/24364 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 11, 1998The purpose of the invention is to determine the topography of retinal reactions with high effectiveness and great certainty. In accordance with the invention, the problem is solved by generating a light-emitting image consisting of surface segments on a surface placed before the eye, and using complete extended m sequences, to brighten and darken the surface segments in each time interval. From the eye reaction signal, with the aid of the cross-correlation function, the reaction functions of the segments are calculated in each time interval, and the quality of the results is evaluated by forming some functions for each time interval. Only reaction signals evaluated as good are added up for the total result. The reaction signal of the eye is monitored for staying within limit values, and when errors are recognized, the m sequences are set back by a number of steps which can be preset, recognized errors in the reaction signal are replaced by the repetition. Each image is displayed in a first adjustable partial step and darkened during a second adjustable partial step.

Abstract: An optical connector box arrangement, which is preferably mounted in commercially available surface sockets, flush sockets and channel sockets for connecting electric lines, as well as equipment sockets, essentially consists of a wall socket, a cable guiding insert with fastening elements arranged thereon, a covering frame and an arrangement for receiving the optical fibre plug connector. The problem which consists in respecting all predetermined parameters of the optical fibre technology while using available electric installation systems is solved in that the wall socket is designed as a double socket (1) into which a cable guide (2) which matches the shape and size of the double socket (1) is inserted, separating, together with at least one arrangement (3) for receiving at least one plug connector (19), the connector box into three receiving planes (5, 6, 7): one lower cable receiving plane (5) in which the optical fibre cable is guided without strain, a middle area (6) for receiving and guiding the individual fibres, forming a cable reserve, and an upper connection plane (7) for guiding the individual fibres up to and for connecting the individual fibres with the corresponding optical fibre plug connectors (19). The planes (5, 6, 7) are designed in such a way that the cables and individual fibres are guided without exceeding the predetermined minimum bending radius and the arrangement (3) for receiving the plug connector(s) (19) is secured in the cable guide (2) in an axially sliding and rotary manner.

Abstract: Micro-machined inductive sensor emits an alternating magnetic field in order to detect position and or movement of an object (O), which is capable of modifying the magnetic field, by means of a discontinuity (D,C). The sensor comprises a planar emitting coil (10), which radiates the alternating magnetic field and one or more planar receiving magnetic coils (11-14), arranged in such a manner as to capture a certain part of the radiating field and variations in the field caused by discontinuities in the object (O). The coils are machined on the common substrate by a selective photolithography process. In the areas where the emitter coil (10) is contiguous with the receiver coils (11-14) a shielding strip galvanically independent of the coils (10-14) is connected to a reference potential. The shielding strip is formed by deposition of a metal skin on the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating cancer cells from body fluids containing cells. The invention also relates to sets for carrying out said method, cancer cells isolated from body fluids, cell lines established therefrom or derived cell constituents, the use thereof as therapeutic agents or targets, and pharmaceutical or veterinary products containing them. The inventive method is based on the idea that body fluids containing cells are comprised of different sized and different shaped cells and groups of cells. According to the invention, body fluids containing cells or fractions of said body fluids are filtered in a sieve that retains cancer cells. The isolation and characterization of cancer cells is highly important, especially in the field of oncology, in order to respond to questions related to diagnostics, prognoses, therapeutics and scientific matters in human medicine and veterinary medicine. The inventive method also enables cancer cells to be removed totally from fluids or fractions (isolates) thereof containing cells. The isolated cancer cells, cell lines established therefrom and derived cell constituents reflect a substantially native i.e. biological state that can be associated with corresponding cancer cells in a body fluid.

Both the yield and the purity are markedly higher than in the solvents known hitherto, and more solubilizing groups can be incorporated into the pigment. The method according to the invention is advantageously especially suitable also for the production of latent pigments in relatively large amounts.
