Abstract: The invention relates to a solar plant with plane-surface absorbers and/or solar cells in a collector field, at the edges of which one or more plane mirror surfaces are at least partially arranged at an angle to the absorbers and/or solar cells, the solar radiation striking the mirror surfaces falling at least partially on the absorbers and/or solar cells. In order to achieve in this connection that not only the directly incident solar radiation is used, but also the solar radiation which is incident in early morning and late evening, without any sun- tracking of the mirrors or of the absorber surfaces being provided, the invention proposes that the mirror surfaces (1, 17) and the absorbers (2) and/or solar cells are arranged firmly on the roof (21) of a building or on support elements (3, 3a), that the mirror surfaces are fastened in a plane which runs at an angle in relation to the absorber plane and extends northwards and/or southwards, and that the mirror surfaces extend laterally beyond the absorber surfaces (24, 29) without shade in respect of the absorbers. As a result, especially in the morning and the evening, additional solar radiation is used, without the action of the mirrors being hindered at midday. The invention can also be applied subsequently to any solar plant, as a result of which the output of the same can be increased considerably. Outlay is low so that the amortisation time is exceptionally short. There is also an embodiment, in which the absorbers (2) and the mirrors (1) are extensively protected against snow and ice in winter (Fig. 5, Fig. 6). There is also a solar shower (68, Fig. 12). <IMAGE>

Title: Method for determining the concentration ratio of lithium to sodium ions and apparatus for carrying out this method
IPC: G01N27/416
Filed: 1987-09-24
Granted: 1992-11-19
Abstract: The ratio of the concentration of lithium ions to sodium ions can be determined with high accuracy and reproducibility by immersing an electrode for determining lithium ions and an electrode for determining sodium ions in the sample solution, connecting the two electrodes electrically to each other via a voltmeter and determining the potential difference  DELTA V between the two electrodes. The ratio of the concentration of lithium ions to sodium ions can be calculated from this potential difference. It is also possible to connect the lithium electrodes and sodium electrodes electrically via a voltmeter to a single external reference electrode or a common electrode and to calculate the potential difference  DELTA V from the two potential differences measured. 
<??>The method makes it possible to precisely determine the concentration ratio of lithium ions to sodium ions in the presence of high and varying concentrations of sodium ions, for example in blood serum, when the sodium concentration is about a hundred times greater than the lithium concentration. Miniaturised apparatuses for performing the method, for example flow-type electrodes, so-called wire electrodes or arrangements based on the planar technique make possible a rapid determination of the concentration ratio in the clinical field.
