Title: Measuring a gap between a tube and a float
IPC: G01B11/14
Filed: 1990-07-07
Granted: 1992-09-23
Abstract: An apparatus or method determines the gap (11) between an assembly (12) of a tube (13) and a cylindrical float (14) located substantially concentric to the tube. An elliptically polarized light beam (A) at the wavelength for which the materials of the tube and the gap are transparent or translucent is along an optical axis (C). The index of refraction of the tube and float materials are greater than the index of refraction of the gap material. Means translates and rotates the assembly along and about its longitudinal axis (F) producing an illumination (B). A light filtering means (21) along the optical axis beyond the assembly blocks light of the illumination (B) reflected by the assembly and refracted by the tube (13), the gap (11) between the tube, and the float (14) and the float and transmits light of the illumination (B) refracted by the tube and the gap between tube and float. Light detection means (15) receives transmitted light and signals a signal processing means (16). The method has steps of transmitting the monochromatic beam of elliptically polarized light along the optical axis to the assembly, focusing the beam of light, translating and rotating the assembly through the light, producing an illumination, filtering the illumination by blocking illumination reflected by the assembly and refracted by the float, the tube and the gap between the tube and the float and transmitting the illumination refracted by the tube and the gap between the tube and the float.

Abstract: Un kit en trois parties de régénération de compositions de blanchiment-fixation est utilisé pour rétablir la capacité d'une solution usée de blanchiment-fixation à fonctionner comme une solution de travail effective dans le traitement photographique. La première partie, qui est une solution alcaline aqueuse contenant un agent de tamponnage et un acide aminopolycarboxylique, est ajoutée à la solution usée de blanchiment-fixation avant la récupération électrolytique de l'argent. Les seconde et troisième parties, qui sont des solutions acides aqueuses contenant respectivement un sel de fer et un agent de fixation de thiosulfate, sont ajoutées après récupération électrolytique de l'argent. La première partie augmente le pH de la solution usée de blanchiment-fixation jusqu'à un niveau auquel la récupération électrolytique d'argent est optimalisée, tandis que les seconde et troisième parties abaissent le pH à un niveau optimal pour le traitement photographique. Outre l'avantage d'effectuer les changements nécessaires du pH, l'addition des trois parties, de cette manière, rétablit tous les composants nécessaires à leur propre concentration. La réaction de l'acide aminopolycarboxylique et du sel de fer entraîne la génération in situ du complexe qui agit comme agent de blanchiment.

Abstract: An improved kinetic assay is provided for spectrophotometrically determining dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) in body fluid wherein at pH 8.0 the CO2 is present substantially as bicarbonate ion (HCO3). The sample is subjected to a reaction mixture containing phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) which enzymatically catalyzes conversion of HCO3 to oxaloacetate (OA). The OA produced is subject to a second reaction mixture containing NADH and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) which reduces the OA to malate and oxidizes the NADH to NAD+. The CO2 level in the sample may be indirectly determined by measuring the change in NADH concentration. An inhibitor is added to the reaction mixture which renders the reaction kinetics of the system essentially first order over the entire bicarbonate concentration range of interest. Best results have been obtained through use of an inhibitor which provides an anion selected from the group consisting of Cl03, Cl04, SCN, or I.

Abstract: Recombinant negative strand virus RNA templates which may be used to express heterologous gene products and/or to construct chimeric viruses are described. Influenza viral polymerase, which was prepared depleted of viral RNA, was used to copy small RNA templates prepared from plasmid-encoded sequences. Template constructions containing only the 3' end of genomic RNA were shown to be efficiently copied, indicative that the promoter lay solely within the 15 nucleotide 3' terminus. Sequences not specific for the influenza vital termini were not copied, and, surprisingly, RNAs containing termini identical to those from plus sense cRNA were copied at low levels. The specificity for recognition of the virus-sense promoter was further defined by site-specific mutagenesis. It was also found that increased levels of vital protein were required in order to catalyze both the cap-endonuclease primed and primer-free RNA synthesis from these model templates as well as from genomic length RNAs. This indicated that this reconstituted system had catalytic properties very smilar to those of native viral RNPs. High levels of expression of a heterologous gene was obtained using the constructs and methods described.
