IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1988-04-26
Abstract: An analytical test device useful for example in pregnancy testing, comprises a hollow casing (500) constructed of moisture-impervious solid material, such as plastics materials, containing a dry porous carrier (510) which communicates indirectly with the exterior of the casing via a bibulous sample receiving member (506) which protrudes from the casing such that a liquid test sample can be applied to the receiving member and permeate therefrom to the porous carrier, the carrier containing in a first zone a labelled specific binding reagent is freely mobile within the porous carrier when in the moist state, and in a second zone spatially distinct from the first zone unlabelled specific binding reagent for the same analyte which unlabelled reagent is permanently immobilised on the carrier material and is therefore not mobile in the moist state, the two zones being arranged such that liquid sample applied to the porous carrier can permeate via the first zone into the second zone, and the device incorporating means, such as an aperture (508) in the casing, enabling the extent (if any) to which the labelled reagent becomes bound in the second zone to be observed. Preferably the device includes a removable cap for the protruding bibulous member.

IPC: A47B88/493
Filed: 1993-07-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a cabinet with a shelf rack drawer which is held and guided in a manner secure against tilting underneath its base on both sides by in each case one vertically mounted telescopic extension with roller or, in particular, ball guidance and, furthermore, exhibits improved transverse rigidity in the fully extended state by means of a horizontal telescopic extension 16 with ball guidance. Vertical adjusting screws 13, which can be screwed into an L-angle connected to the movable part of the vertical telescopic extensions and situated under the base 3 of the shelf rack drawer, permit an infinitely variable height and inclination adjustment of the shelf rack drawer relative to the body of the cabinet. In the upper region, the shelf rack drawer carries, symmetrically to its vertical mid-plane, a running strip 22 which is guided by two opposite rollers 24 with vertical axes of a fitting 27 fixed in the front region of the construction base of the cabinet. The measures according to the invention improve the transverse rigidity, resistance to tilting and running stability and permit infinitely variable inclination adjustment and full extension of the shelf rack drawer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A switch has a carrier sheet with electrodes formed on
an internal side thereof to form switch contacts. An armature is
held in slidable contact with the internal side of the carrier
and the electrodes by a magnet disposed on the external surface
of the carrier. The magnet is carried in a knob mounted on the
external side of the membrane carrier for rotary, linear or
complex motion. When a user manipulates the knob the magnet
drags the armature either into or out of shorting relation with
the electrodes. A magnetic detent gear can be incorporated to
provide tactile feedback. A pushbutton version of the switch can
be made with a pivotable armature normally held spaced from
electrodes on the substrate by a magnet. A membrane and spacer
may be added to protect and seal the electrodes and armature.

Abstract: An idling control apparatus of an internal combustion
engine which undergoes an after-start lean-burn control for
operating the internal combustion engine at an air-fuel ratio
on a lean side of a theoretical air-fuel ratio after the engine
started. According to the apparatus, the engine rotational
speed under the after-start lean-burn control at a low
temperature is stabilized, fluctuation of the engine rotational
speed at a time when a lean-burn control is canceled is
restrained, and a smooth idling state is realized always. The
apparatus comprises an idling engine rotational speed control
means which calculates a control amount for controlling the
engine rotational speed on idling to a target engine rotational
speed and carries out a feedback control by the calculated
control amount, an after-start lean-burn control discriminating
means for discriminating whether the after-start lean-burn
control ia carried out after starting of the engine or not,
and a correcting means which calculates a correction amount
for correcting the control amount of the idling engine rotational
speed control means in accordance with a result of discrimination
of the after-start lean-burn control discriminating means,
thereby the idling engine rotational speed is controlled by
the control amount corrected by the correcting means.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved and simplified voltage
step-up circuit (2) for a SQUID magnetometric sensor (1), which
provides step-up of a voltage signal generated by a SQUID element (11).
The SQUID element is exited by a modulated signal using the FLL
method. 
     In an example, a step-up means (22) comprises only one step-up
transformer (22T) working at room temperature and an electronic
amplifier (22A). The voltage signal is first stepped up by the transformer.
A signal processing means (23) processes the stepped up signal with the
modulation signal to output a magnetic field measurement signal (V). 
     In another example, a bias current source (21) is also connected to
terminals between SQUID element (11) and the transformer (22). A series
resistor is connected between the transformer and one of the terminals.
This allows a reduction in the number of terminals between the SQUID
sensor (1) and the circuit (2).

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel structure of a
tape cartridge (10) accommodating a printing tape (T) and an ink
ribbon (R) used for printing, which prevents the printing tape (T)
from being stuck in a cartridge case or the ink ribbon (R) from
being slackened. The tape cartridge (10) of the invention has a
mechanism for preventing an end of the tape from being
reversely moved back into the cartridge case (201). A typical
structure of the mechanism includes an anti-inversion system
which prevents a tape core having a tape wound thereon from
rotating in a reverse direction, that is, a direction
opposite to a normal rotating direction for printing. The
anti-inversion effects are removed when the tape cartridge (10)
is set in a printing device (1) such as a tape writer to ensure
smooth feeding of the tape for printing. When the tape (T) is
forcibly pressed back into the cartridge case, a movable
platen clamps the tape between the platen (12) and a fixed wall
to prevent reverse movement of the tape. The tape cartridge (10)
of the invention also includes an anti-slack mechanism for
preventing slack of the ink ribbon through engagement of a
ribbon winding core with an anti-rotational engagement piece.
Engagement of this anti-slack mechanism is also released
when the tape cartridge (10) is set in the printing device (1).

Abstract: A positive pressure demand valve for breathing apparatus
incorporates a tubular  balanced piston  valve member (6)
for regulating the flow of breathing gas from an inlet (2)
to an outlet (15). A coaxial tension spring (18) acts to
bias the valve member open and a lever (25) coupled to a
pressure-responsive diaphragm (20) acts to push the valve
member closed when a predetermined pressure is attained
within the outlet. A combined pressure-relief and
bypass valve member (13) enables the operation of the main
valve member (6) to be bypassed by porting gas through the
centre (9) of the main valve seat (8). A    first breath   
mechanism is provided comprising a hooked link (17) which
can be pressed in by a button (36) to maintain the main
valve member closed and can be released by contact by the
diaphragm (20) when a negative pressure is applied to the
outlet (15). The outlet is in the form of a bayonet
connector which is locked into a corresponding inlet
fitting on the user's mask by means of the same button
(36).
