Abstract: A method of treating and processing alkaloid, oil and protein-containing lupine seeds for the extraction of products from the lupine seeds by means of targeted fractionation is described, whereby the comminuted lupine seed is de-oiled by introducing a solvent and the residue is depleted of substances soluble in the acid range, preferably of alkaloids, by adding acids. The invention is characterized by the provisions that the lupine seeds are comminuted and/or shaped to form discoid flakes in such a way that after pre-crushing of the shelled or non-shelled seed containing the plant seeds the comminution of the plant seeds is carried out by means of a cooled flocculating roller, and the seed is heated by indirect supply of heat, largely with exclusion of water, and that after de-oiling the depletion of the flakes of substances soluble in the acid range, preferably of alkaloids, is performed by aqueous extraction, with a refined product of reduced alkaloid level and an aqueous extract being obtained.

Abstract: System, method, and test strip for solid phase, electrochemical, quantitative analysis of analytes contained in biological fluid samples. Preliminary to analysis, a test sample solution can be applied to a sample collection pad associated with the solid phase test environment of the test strip. The test sample solution and a test kit reagent are thereby initially contacted, under assay conditions, within this solid phase test environment, and caused to migrate along a fluid pathway therein. Irrespective of the assay format (competitive assay, sandwich assay, etc.), a test kit reagent (e.g. labeled substance) and the analyte of interest (e.g. proteins, hormones or enzymes, small molecules, polysaccharides, antibodies, nucleic acids, drugs, toxins, viruses or virus particles, portions of a cell wall and other compounds which have specific or characteristic markers that permit their identification), either interact with one another to form a complex, or, alternatively, compete with one another for interaction with another test kit reagent, resulting in the concentration of an indicator substance within a delimited area of the solid phase. Thereafter, the delimited area of the test strip is subjected to electrochemical analysis and the results determined by monitoring an electrochemical transition in the form of an indicator, or derivative of the indicator (e.g. indicator species), by potentiostatic or potentiometric quantitative analysis (e.g. anodic stripping voltammetry). This electrochemical transition of the indicator has a characteristic electrical fingerprint that can be measured and which, when compared to a standard, can be correlated with the concentration of the analyte in the sample. This method is suitable for the determination/monitoring of therapeutic range of drugs (anti-convulsants drugs), determination of critical and potentially dangerous levels of endogenous materials which are indicative of disease states (prostate cancer), and numerous other applications presently requiring elaborate and time-consuming clinical laboratory analysis.

Abstract: A tilt control apparatus is provided for use on a chair having a base and a backrest, and includes a center retainer from which a pair of torsion bar segments protrude. A tubular outer casing is received over each torsion bar segment and is affixed to the center retainer, and an end bar retainer is received on the distal end of each torsion bar segment for rotation therewith. A structure is provided for restricting axial and rotational movement of the end retainers relative to the outer casings, holding the end retainers in place on the apparatus and permitting the torsion bar segments to be pre-torqued, if desired. The center retainer and outer casings are adapted for securement together to either the base or backrest of the chair, and the end retainers are adapted for securement to the other such that the backrest can be tilted relative to the base between an upright position and a tilted position, the torsion bar segments biasing the end retainers in a direction adapted to return the backrest to the upright position. A method of assembling a tilt control apparatus is also provided, wherein the torsion bar segments are pre-torqued to set the magnitude of the biasing force exerted on the backrest.

The front strips (207, 207') of the lower piece (7) sit on top of the lower edge of the front walls (210, 210') of the upper piece (10). The side strips (307, 307') of the lower piece (7), on the other hand, are joined by means of cutting lines (8, 8') to coplanar extensions with which they form walls (700, 700') which are intended to cover the sides of the product and which have hinged flaps (507, 507') at the top which are folded down and fixed to the wall (110) covering the top of the product with spots of glue (C2). When the product packaged in this way arrives at the point of sale, it is possible to open the side walls (700, 700') using one's hands, along the said cutting lines (8, 8'), and lift off the upper piece together with the portions of the said side walls attached to it, so that the product is left within the remaining lower piece (7) which then acts as a display tray. A process and a machine for producing and employing the abovementioned box on an industrial scale are also described. The machine is preferably of combination type, in other words, one which is alternatively able to package products in a conventional cardboard tray, wrapping them in heat-shrink film.

The tube may be longer than the stent such that the ends of the tube may be introduced into the ends of the stent and affixed by short sections of a stent material. Collars may be formed at the ends of the tube and may also be covered by the film material.
