Title: Method and device for granulating plastics and/or polymers
Inventor: VELTEL JUERGEN
IPC: B29C48/92
Filed: 2006-02-15
Abstract: The valve housing(2) has one flow path from a first connector(3) for a melt supply via a melt channel to a first granulator connector(5). A second flow path runs between a second melt supply connector(4) and a second granulator connector(6) via a separate, second melt channel. The first and/or second melt channels have a start-up flow diverting valve. In the production position the valve opens a connection between the first melt supply connector(3) and the first granulator connection(5) and/or a connection between the second melt supply connector(4) and the second granulator connection(6). In the start-up position the valve closes the link between the first granulator connection and first melt supply connector and/or the link between the second granulator connector and the second melt supply connector and/or connects the second melt connector to a by-pass opening for dumping melt. Start-up diverting valves for both the first and second melt channels are connected to each other and operated by a common actuator so that both valves can be simultaneously set their production or start-up position. Both valves are in a common valve body. In a design variation the second granulator connector may be linked to a melt channel and a diverting valve connects the first melt supply connector to either the first or second granulator connector. In the latter design a third granulator connector connects with the melt channel and is linked to the melt supply connector by the diverting valve. The start-up diverting valve has a cylindrical body with separate production flow channels and moves axially between the different positions. One or more by-pass channels are incorporated in a valve body. Quick release couplings link the melt supply and granulator connectors to a melt source and granulator.

Abstract: There is a demand for improved turbidimetric immunoassays for human Cystatin C  in biological samples, especially in human clinical samples of body fluids.  The present invention provides a turbidimetric immunoassay method and reagent set enabling measurement of human Cystatin C by turbidimetric methods, resulting in a surprisingly stronger and faster turbidimetric signal than in the present state of the art. The increased and faster signal is accomplished by the use of new reagents and compositions, and enables shorter assay times and kinetic reading with a stronger signal, improving overall assay speed and quality. Improved robustness to lipid interference and improved linearity is achieved.
