Abstract: The device has a switching contact (6) and rectifier (7) with integrated protective circuitry located after the protective contact. The current transformer (5) is located before the switching contact (6). The primary winding of the (5) forms part of the line of a power supply. The unit secondary winding of the current transformer (5) is connected with a switching contact (6). The rectifier (7) is connected with the current source pref. via the terminals of the DC motor (3). The rectifier unit (7) has two terminals for a connection with a DC brake for the AC motor. Current supply for the unit (1) and attached DC brake (2) is exclusively from the feed line of the AC motor so no separate line is needed.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing a multi-layered flat fibrous structure, especially a floor covering, having a surface or wear layer, a base or carrier layer and optionally further layers. The base or carrier layer is first produced from a multi-layered non-woven fabric in a mechanical non-woven formation device. Elements forming the surface or wear layer are then applied to the base or carrier layer. Before application, a distribution of the elements which differ in terms of their geometrical shape is standardized in such a way that the surface or wear layer is substantially repeat-free. The elements forming the surface or wear layer are then joined at least to the base or carrier layer.

Abstract: The frame structure has two adjacent bent pipes (1, 2) which extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and are inclined towards each other. In the illustrated side view, only the bent pipe (1) on the left side of the vehicle can be seen. This bent pipe (1) has a shape similar to that of a bowsaw. The idea underlying the invention is that the weight of the vehicle occupants acts on the bent pipe structure and is deflected into forces which push the two ends (4; 6) of the pipe away from each other. These deflected forces are in turn absorbed by pipes (10, 11) arranged in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and which indirectly interconnect the ends of the bent pipes (1, 2) absorbing the traction forces therebetween. The two bent pipes (1, 2) are inclined towards each other and thus form a gable, seen in the longitudinal direction. The forces exercised downwards by the weight of the drivers upon this structure are thus deflected not only into traction forces acting between the front and rear ends (4, 5; 6, 7) of the bent pipes, but also into traction forces acting between the two front ends (4, 5) and the two rear ends (6, 7) of each bent pipe.

Abstract: A patient replica is created from a layered culture medium where solid culture medium is formed so that a discontinuity exists between the layers. An infusion port is provided in registration with the discontinuity so that a fresh unadulterated sample of patient blood can be infused into the discontinuity to form a thin layer of blood between the layers of culture medium. The thin layer obviates the requirement for any anticoagulant allowing blood-borne pathogens to be readily cultured without using broth. Further antibiotics or other drug samples may be placed on the surface of the culture medium above the blood layer so that the antibiotic can diffuse through the culture medium and reveal the sensitivities of the cultured pathogens. Other samples of pathogens or tissues can be placed on the surface of the culture medium so that effects of drugs or growth factors present in the patient blood can be observed thereby allowing the entrapped blood layer to act as a biological replica of the patient.

Abstract: A self-powered centrifugal separator for removing particulate contaminants from engine lubricant includes a rotor canister 20 which is spun at high speed about a vertical axle by ejection of the lubricant supplied to the canister at elevated pressure by way of apertures 282 ... in a bearing tube near the upper end of the canister. In the upper end wall 23, axial discontinuities in the form of embossed ribs 401, 402 ... define between them shallow channels and direct the newly injected lubricant along the channels towards radially outer regions of the canister. The ribs extend not only radially outwardly, but also in a circumferential direction. The circumferential direction may be leading or, preferably, trailing with respect to the rotation direction of the rotor that results from ejection of the lubricant, to increase the time spent by lubricant at radially outer regions of the canister where centrifugal separation is most efficient.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a screening method for the selection of mutations which confer acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) inhibiting herbicide resistance to wheat. After mutagenesis of wheat seeds, the seeds are soaked in an AHAS inhibiting herbicide-containing solution containing a particular class of AHAS inhibiting herbicide. After planting, the soil containing the seeds is sprayed with an AHAS inhibiting herbicide of the same class as that used in the seed soak step prior to the emergence of the seedlings from the soil. Those wheat seedlings which emerge and are normal in appearance demonstrate resistance to the class of AHAS inhibiting herbicides used in the seed soak and spraying steps. This invention is also directed to the wheat selections and seeds identified by the screening method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing [<15>O] butanol. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method. According to the inventive method for producing [<15>O] butanol, a column containing an adsorbent is exposed to tri-n-butylborane, a gas containing [<15>O]O2 produced in a cyclotron is guided through the column, the reaction product is then hydrolyzed, the [<15>O]O2 obtained is purified and the solution containing the purified [<15>O]O2 is fed to a container. A plurality of columns containing the adsorbent is fixed on an exchangeable element and the exposure to tri-n-butylborane is carried out on the columns fixed on the element. The steps for conducting the inventive method can be carried out in a particularly quick and safe manner. The inventive device is particularly suitable for implementing said method. The device comprises a protective gas inlet, a container with water, an element for receiving a plurality of columns containing an adsorbent, a system for purifying the [<15>O]butanol obtained and a container for receiving the purified [<15>O]butanol. The device also includes a container with tri-n-butylborane. The element for receiving the columns containing an adsorbent can be exchanged and is arranged in such a way that it can be displaced. The method can be conducted with particularly good results when columns with adsorbent Sep-Pak Alumina N Plus cartridges are used, when purification of the [<15>O]butanol obtained is conducted using Sep-Pak C-18 Plus cartridges and when said cartridges are fixed on a disc-shaped element consisting of a top and a bottom part.
