Abstract: In clinical analyzers, patient samples need to be conveyed to an aspiration station for application to a test element. The samples are normally stored in test tubes which are mounted on a tray from which the sample is aspirated and dispensed on to the test element. However, such trays are designed to accommodate test tubes of a standard length but will accept shorter tubes after a second support member has been inserted. These support members are not permanently fixed to the tray and can easily be detached therefrom. Described herein is an improved tray (50) and conveyor arrangement (10) for moving patient samples in an analyzer. The tray (50) comprises a base (30) having a magnetic member (36) for responding to a magnetic field, a frame (52) freely rotatably mounted on the base (30)and comprising a plurality of receptacles (60) constructed to receive either sample tubes (T, T') or aspirating tips (t) useful to aspirate sample from a tube, the receptacles (60) including a fixed bottom support (54). The conveyor comprises a support (18), conveying members (26) under the support (18) comprising a plurality of magnets (22) and means for generating a moving magnetic field with the magnets (22), the conveying members (26) being mounted in a continuous loop (31) under the support (18) with a respective tray (50) mounted above the support (18) on its base (30).

Abstract: A data visualiser system to provide high-speed volume rendering without computing the points at which a viewing ray intersects with the boundaries of a volume data area. 
     The present invention consists of: 
Selecting the ones that face toward a viewing point from among a plurality of exterior faces of a volume data area, sorting the ones thus selected according to distance from the viewing point, selecting those exterior faces in the sorting order, and determining pixels on a projection plane corresponding to the exterior faces in question by scan conversion; computing pixel values along each viewing ray passing through each pixel for each corresponding exterior face until a final exterior face is encountered; such a final exterior face can be judged from information on many partial solids restricting the volume data area; when a viewing ray enters the volume data area again, pixel values to be added later on another exterior face are computed and added to the previous pixel values; the completion of processing of all exterior faces facing toward a viewing point is tantamount to the completion of processing all viewing rays.

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical recording method and apparatus, in which the intensity of a laser beam to be radiated onto an optical recording medium is raised from an intensity Pp re  for maintaining a pre-heat state in which the temperature of the medium surface becomes a predetermined temperature, to P W1  higher than Pp re , the intensity is reduced to an intensity P LT  lower than P W1  after P W1  is maintained for a time T W1 , and thereafter, the laser beam is intensity-modulated between P LT  and an intensity P W2  higher than P LT  so as to form a mark on the optical recording medium. When at least one of P W2 , P LT , and a time T W2  for maintaining P W2  is controlled, the medium temperature, after an elapse of T W1 , at the peak temperature position or the spot center position of the laser beam radiated onto the medium surface is equal to the medium temperature after an elapse of T W2 .

Abstract: 2.1. For the protection of building materials, synthetic products such as organosilicon compounds and polymers are used. Problems arise in particular on sandstones bound by carbonate and clay. The building protection agents available today often lose their effect after a few years. The new building protection agent is to make possible impregnation with a high penetration depth and to fulfil a hydrophobicising (waterproofing) and strengthening function. 2.2. A prepolymer comprising a (meth)acrylate ester, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer which bears an epoxide function and, if desired, an ethylenically unsaturated alkoxysilane group, where the (meth)acrylate ester is present in an amount of from 48 to 98% by weight and the epoxydic monomer is present in an amount of from 0.5 to 50% by weight, is suitable for impregnating porous building materials. The prepolymer can be used together with a crosslinker. The prepolymer has a low viscosity < 10 cP, is soluble in many solvents and has a high penetration depth with good hydrophobicisation and strengthening of the building material. The prepolymer forms a polymer film 3 which binds together individual stone elements 1 and leaves pores 2 free. 2.3. Impregnation of building materials, building protection. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A multiplier calculates a product S'(x) = S(x)·λ(x) mod X d-1  of a syndrome polynomial S(x) generated by a syndrome generator and an erasure position polynomial λ(x) generated by an erasure position polynomial generator, modulo X d-1 . A constant multiplier sequentially multiplies coefficients of the polynomial S'(x) and the erasure position polynomial λ(x) with a power of a primitive root α of a code. The power exponents in this multiplication are determined in units of coefficients. Every time this multiplication is executed, an adder sequentially adds predetermined combinations of products. A plurality of arithmetic and logic operations according to the numbers of correctable erasures and errors are sequentially executed using the sums. A divisor and dividend are selected in accordance with the number of erasures included in the code on the basis of the plurality of arithmetic and logic operation results. A division is executed using the selected divisor and dividend. A value at a position, discriminated to be an error position, of the code is corrected based on the division result, thus performing error correction including erasure correction with a simple circuit arrangement.

Abstract: Heating wires (2), connected in parallel, are arranged in the intermediate thermoplastic layer (15) of a laminated window (1) which can be heated electrically. The heating wires (2) are in electrical contact with busbars (6). The busbars (6) consist of two metal strips (10, 12) between which the heating wires (2) are placed. Between the two metal strips (10, 12) is placed a layer (14) of an electrically conductive adhesive, firmly joined to the two foil strips (10, 12) and to the heating wires (2), and which tightly encloses these wires. This reliably prevents formation of capillaries between the foil strips, along the heating wires (2) and the diffusion of moisture which would impair the electrical contact between the heating wires (2) and the busbars. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A battery charger is connected to a power source via an input cable. The battery 
charger has charge switching circuitry for delivering a charge to a battery under 
the control of a controller. The controller has state detection logic for detecting 
the current state of the battery, and charging logic for charging the battery by 
selectively enabling and disabling the charge switching circuitry based on the 
condition of the battery. An output cable is connected to the battery charger. The 
output cable delivers power from the power source to a second battery charger 
for charging a second battery for the electronic device. The output cable can be 
placed in a stowage position or a non-stowage position. The second battery 
charger may be external or internal to the electronic device. If the second 
battery charger is internal to the electronic device, two batteries can be charged

Abstract: In a machine having rotating components, in which a substance is processed in continuous form, a sensor generates signals representative of the instantaneous supply rate of the substance at one or more selected locations in the machine. A processor performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis on such signals, to determine the amplitude harmonic value at each frequency over a spectrum of frequencies. The measured FFT values are compared to reference values at the corresponding frequencies in order to identify out-of-spec values and generate an error signal. Preferably also, the processor matches the frequency corresponding to the out-of-spec amplitude to a corresponding harmonic frequency value of one of the rotating machine components.
