Abstract: A device for the transmission of one-way torque comprising an outer annular member having a plurality of radially inwardly projecting teeth each comprising a driving surface and a cam surface, and a shaft concentrically mounted with respect to the outer annular member and comprising a plurality of drive elements each having a driving surface and a cam surface. Rotation of the shaft or outer annular member in its driving direction causes engagement of a driving surface of at least one drive element with a driving surface of at least one tooth thereby resulting in joint rotation of the shaft and outer annular member. Rotation of the shaft or outer annular member in its non-driving direction causes engagement of the cam surface of at least one drive element with the cam surface of at least one tooth resulting in additional relative movement, substantially radially, between the drive element and tooth, thereby preventing rotational movement being transmitted between the shaft and the outer annular member.

Abstract: A device for plasticising thermoplastic materials has a revolving feed screw (13) for plasticising the plastic materials within a housing (12). The plastic materials to be plasticised are supplied to the feed screw (13) by a feeding device (27) through a feeding hole (10) in the housing (12). The housing (12) of the feed screw (13) is provided on its inner wall with at least two broad pockets (23, 24). These pockets (23, 24) extend in the longitudinal direction of the feed screw (13) and are mutually separated by narrow ribs (25, 26), when compared to the width of the pocket. One pocket (24) is open towards the feeding hole (10), the other pockets (23) are sealed against the feeding hole (10) by at least one rib (25, 26) of the housing (12) of the feed screw (13). In order to improve filling of the feed screw (13), a feeding device (27) for the plastic materials to be processed is associated with the feed screw (13). This feeding device (27) stuffs the plastic materials into the feeding hole (10) of the housing (12) of the feed screw (13) with a component of motion normal to the longitudinal axis of the feed screw (13). The depth of the pocket (24) open towards the feeding hole (10) is at least constant, seen in the direction of rotation of the feed screw (13). Alternatively or in association therewith, one of the ribs (25, 26) may be adjustable, to allow the feeding capacity of the feed screw (13) to be modified according to the plastic materials to be processed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting specific target cells in a simple and time-saving way, using paramagnetic particles, antibodies recognizing the Fc portions of target-cell associating antibodies and target-cell associating antibodies directed to specific antigen determinants in the target-cell membranes. Incubation of the cell suspension with detergent and/or second antibodies or antibody fragments, prelabeled or not with fluorescent agents, metallocolloids, radioisotopes, biotin complexes or certain enzymes allowing visualization, dramatically increase the specificity of the method. The method and apparatus described provides a solid support and permanent record which is easily viewed by microscopy, permits viewing and quantification of the whole specimen rather than small fractions thereof and allows the use of large specimen volumes to be analysed, the device may also be scanned automatically by conventional densitometric technology. The method and apparatus can be used for isolation of the target cells by magnetic field application, and a kit and apparatus for performing the method according to the invention is described.

Abstract: A method of directional radio communication and mobile communication network between a first station and a second mobile consists of the following steps. Consecutive bursts of communication data transmitted from the second station are identified at the first station. Respective beam directions from which sequential communication data bursts are received by the first station are determined from a plurality of adjacent beam directions. One or more of the beam directions are selected for transmission of signals from the first station to the second station so that when it is determined that the sequential communication data bursts are received by the first station from two different beam directions, the two different beam directions are simultaneously selected for transmission of the signal from the first station to the second station.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for easily separating single stranded nucleic acid material from double stranded nucleic acid material in a sample containing both. By the right choice of at lease one chaotropic agent, preferably a guanidine salt, at a selected concentration and other suitable conditions such a chelating agents, pH and the like, it is possible to bind double stranded material to a solid phase such as silica particles, whereas single stranded material will not bind under those circumstances. By separating the silica particles from the sample the double stranded nucleic acid material is removed. It can easily be eluted from the silica particles. In a second step the single stranded material may be bound to a solid phase by selecting a different set of conditions. The particles can again be separated from the sample and the single stranded material may now be eluted. For very efficent separations, the process may be repeated. Following the separation of the two kinds of nucleic acid, either kind may be amplified. Methods of amplification are provided which do not need sequence data of the material to be amplified. In these methods a primer will be provided with an amplification motif and a random hybridization motif.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling a degree of attrition or wear of a sealing screw conveying plasticized material are provided. The apparatus includes an opening which intersects the wall of a housing of the screw in the region of the screw threads or in the region immediately neighboring the screw threads. Another opening intersects the wall of the housing. The two openings are spaced apart axially from each other and the pressure sensors connected to both openings. The process involved conveys a plasticized material against a resistance, the resistance being a sealing screw bearing supported within the screw housing. The pressure of the conveyed material is measured at two locations spaced apart from each other in the direction of conveyance. The two locations are disposed on both sides of a resistance body towards which the sealing screw conveys the material. The difference between the two measured values is used to indicate the degree of wear of the screw or its housing, respectively.

Abstract: Estructura filtrante activa paso-banda mediante secciones de interferencia con líneas de transmisión conectadas en paralelo. Esta estructura está formada por la conexión en cascada de un filtro pasivo (1) y una etapa de interferencia activa (2). El filtro pasivo constituye una aproximación de bajo orden a la respuesta global a conseguir. La etapa de interferencia activa incrementa la selectividad del filtro pasivo mediante la generación de interferencias destructivas fuera de la banda de paso del filtro. Esto se consigue mediante el empleo de secciones de interferencia (4 y 6), separadas por etapas aisladoras (3 y 5), consistentes en líneas de transmisión conectadas en paralelo, que generan múltiples ceros de transmisión fuera de la banda de paso del filtro pasivo, manteniendo una interferencia totalmente constructiva en dicha banda. Se trata de una estructura filtrante activa de gran selectividad, altamente lineal y estable, con bajas pérdidas de transmisión y ruido, especialmente adecuadaen aplicaciones de comunicaciones y radar de banda ancha.
