Abstract: An automated system is provided for carrying out nucleic acid based assays on a plurality of liquid samples with little or no intervention by a human operator. The system includes at least one reaction station adapted to hold and apply controlled amounts of heat to a plurality of reaction devices in which theliquid samples are receivable. Each of the reaction devices includes a sample area for receiving a liquid sample, a reaction area into which the liquid sampleis movable to carry out a nucleic acid decontamination or amplification reactionon the sample, and a pneumatic port for allowing air to be aspirated from and dispensed into the reaction device to move the sample between the sample area and the reaction area. A robotically controlled aspiration and dispensing head is adapted to move into contact with the pneumatic ports of the reaction devices, and to aspirate air from and dispense air into the pneumatic ports of the reaction devices in order to move the liquid samples between the sample and reaction areas of the reaction devices. A programmable control system is provided for causing the robotically controlled aspiration and dispensing head to move into contact with the pneumatic ports of the reaction devices, and to aspirate air from and dispense air into the reaction devices in order to cause the desired movement of the liquid samples within the reaction devices. The robotically controlled aspiration and dispensing head is also adapted to transfer the liquid samples toand from the reaction devices using disposable pipettes, and to introduce liquidreagents into the reacted samples after the samples have been transferred from the reaction devices to separate assay devices. A robotically controlled wash head is also provided to aspirate and dispense wash fluids and reagent fluids from the assay devices.

Title: Temperature control in paper machine
Inventor: BRUGGER HUBERT
IPC: D21F5/06
Filed: 1996-04-22
Abstract: A process and apparatus for controlling the surface temperature of a drying cylinder of a paper machine, in which air may be admixed with the steam introduced into the drying cylinder to adjust the partial steam pressure.  The mixture ratio of air and steam is controlled as a function of the measured temperature of the mixture discharging from the drying cylinder.  Also, pressure measurements are made of the pressure in the in-feed and discharge lines of the cylinder, and valves control this dependent on the measurements.  The valves are controlled to provide all steam to the cylinder above a predetermined minimum pressure in the cylinder below 1 bar and to provide a mix of air and steam below the predetermined minimum pressure.

Title: Flushing means with a toilet bowl
Inventor: RUEEGG URS
IPC: E03D11/08
Filed: 1996-05-22
Abstract: The flushing means has a flushing tank, which is connected to a flushing channel of a toilet bowl via a flushing elbow and to a nozzle (jet) via a connection pipe. During flushing, part of the flushing water is released from the top into the toilet bowl via the flushing elbow and the flushing channel, and another part is released into the lower area of the toilet via the connection pipe and the nozzle. The flushing water entering the nozzle is taken up by an opening of the connection pipe, which extends into the flushing elbow and is always open. To prevent the connection pipe from being suctioned empty and consequently to prevent the suctioning of a suction siphon from being interrupted, the connection pipe has a hydraulic seal, which hydraulically seals this pipe against a vacuum at the outlet opening of the connection pipe during a suction process. Valves and the like, which are susceptible to the deposition of lime, are not employed.

Patent CA-2188537-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHROEDER WOLFGANG
IPC: B65B3/34
Filed: 1996-02-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant de remplir des contenants avec des substances coulantes dosées en fonction de leur viscosité. L'invention vise à développer un procédé pour machines de remplissage, permettant de doser des substances coulantes dans des contenants à des intervalles de temps précis. A cet effet, la substance de remplissage, refoulée par la pompe de remplissage (5) passe dans un flux devant un détecteur de flux (11, 12). La vitesse d'écoulement de cette substance est mesurée puis transmise à un organe de régulation (15) dans lequel est stockée une valeur prescrite qui est ensuite comparée avec la valeur réelle mesurée par le détecteur de flux. En faisant varier le débit d'une pompe jusqu'à ce que la valeur réelle et la valeur prescrite de la vitesse d'écoulement correspondent, on peut aligner la valeur réelle sur la valeur de consigne. Le flux de remplissage de la substance parvient, avec cette vitesse d'écoulement déterminée avec précision, à un détecteur de déclenchement (10) situé au niveau d'une ouverture de sortie du tuyau de remplissage, et active ce détecteur en traversant sa zone de détection. Le détecteur de déclenchement est relié à un compteur qui compte les cycles dans un intervalle de temps et permet ainsi de commander le volume à remplir en fonction du temps.
