Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing apparatus for pastelike substances and mixtures thereof with a solvent by means of an injector, comprising an integrated shutoff device. The apparatus contains a detection device which detects the amount of paste according to conductimetry. The shutoff device is a dual piston valve closing an opening between the paste supply tube and an injector suction chamber as well as an opening between the solvent supply tube and an injector pre-chamber. The invention also relates to a method for dosing pastelike substances and the mixtures thereof with a solvent by means of such a device. By opening a shut-off device in a supply tube for a pressurized solvent, a dual piston valve moves against an opposing force. This releases a connection between a paste supply tube and an injection suction chamber, followed by a connection between the solvent supply tube and the injector pre-chamber. The paste is suctioned by an injector operating according to the hydraulic pump principle and mixed with released solvent. The mixture is injected into a measuring section wherein a conductimetry device measures the amount of paste dissolved in the mixture. The shut-off device is closed when the required dose of paste is obtained, whereupon the circuit which was previously in an open position is shifted in reverse order to a closed position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a component which comprises a channel region in a semiconductor substrate and an oppositely doped region. The channel region and an edge region of the first doped region are separated by a gate dielectric from a superimposed channel gate electrode, and the first doped region is predominantly separated from a superimposed tunnel gate electrode by a tunnel dielectric. When a suitable voltage is applied to the first doped region, the tunnel current generates from the tunnel gate electrode an avalanche breakdown in the semiconductor substrate such that a current amplified by orders of magnitude is produced between the terminals of the channel region and the first doped region.

Abstract: The invention concerns a multimode waveguide laser (1, 2, 3, 5) which is characterized by the fact that the waveguide's cutoff wavelength is smaller than the smallest wavelength of the emission spectrum of the waveguide laser. Advantageously, the waveguide laser and te diode laser (6) in the wavelength range of the waveguide laser emission are optically decoupled, thus making the diode laser pumped waveguide laser specially suitable for intra-cavity spectroscopy.

Abstract: A cellulose sponge is disclosed, which is formed from coagulated cellulose solution having a mean degree of polymerisation (DP) which does not exceed 800. Preferably, the DP lies in the range 450-600. The sponge may be reinforced by discontinuous fibres, preferably of cellulose, and may be treated with a wetting agent or softener. The sponge may also contain one or more surfactants. Water retention may be improved by partial etherification. Also disclosed is a method of manufacture of a cellulose sponge from a solution of cellulose in an amine oxide solvent. Dispersed throughout the solution is an additive (such as a water soluble inorganic salt or a water soluble organic material) which provides sites for the formation of cells within the cellulose solution as it regenerates. A foaming agent or a blowing agent may be employed to assist in cell formation. Natural rubber latex may also be added in order to increase mechanical strength, and in some cases to increase absorbency.

Abstract: A needle connecting portion of a syringe which includes a drug accommodating chamber accommodating a first component is arranged opposite to a takeout port of a hermetically closed container which includes a container chamber accommodating a second component. The syringe is connected to the container through a connector so as to be movable in proximity mutually and adapted to be separable from the connector. There is provided a communication passage capable of communicating the drug accommodating chamber with the container chamber. The communication passage is cut off by a closure member arranged between both of the chambers. The syringe and the container chamber are moved in proximity to each other, thereby displacing the closure member so as to open the communication passage. An injector of the present invention is compact in shape but can retain sterility assuredly while being stored and mix both of the components accommodated therein surely through a simple operation just before administration. Further, it can prevent the piercingness of an injection needle from being damaged at the time of a mixing operation and easily remove a syringe after the mixing operation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of intravenous contrast agents for projection mammography and novel devices for carrying out projection mammography. The invention therefore relates to the use of intravenous contrast agents for producing a diagnostic medium for projection mammography. With the additional intravenous administration of contrast agent, projection mammography attains a sensitivity comparable to the most modern methods, such as magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) while having a wider range of applications and avoiding the cost of MRT. This novel method is simple and can be carried out without special inconvenience for the patients. It a) considerably improves sensitivity for demonstrating focal lesions in the mammae and b) provides additional information on the character of previously detected lesions.

Abstract: A shear-type electromagnetic lock is disclosed whose armature can approach the electromagnet from any transverse direction, which can be mounted in any orientation with respect to gravity, and which does not require any door position sensing means. The armature includes a pair of standoffs in the form of conically projecting buttons affixed thereto, the buttons projecting from the plane of contact between the armature and the electromagnet. The buttons have a base angle of 60-80 degrees adjacent the armature, and an angle of 45 degrees distal from the armature, and terminate in a smoothly rounded point. The armature is mounted to a sub-plate via counteracting springs such that the armature "floats" on the sub-plate, with the distance between the armature and the sub-plate being adjustable via adjusting screws. A matching electromagnet assembly for mounting to a door frame includes matching conical depressions positionally corresponding to the conical buttons such that the buttons seat into the depressions when the armature and electromagnet are properly aligned. The buttons and recesses are arranged in a staggered pattern.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic lamp ballast for operating at least one gas-discharge lamp (G1, G2). The electronic lamp ballast comprises a control circuit (IC2), which monitors a voltage potential applied to the input connection (NP) and, depending on the value of the voltage potential, operates the gas-discharge lamp (G1, G2) with or without preheating. The voltage potential monitored by the control circuit (IC2) can in particular depend on the charge status of an energy storage circuit (R22, C17) which is charged while the gas-discharge lamp (G1, G2) is operating and is discharged at a certain time constant when the electronic lamp ballast is switched off. This allows for dynamic switching between cold-start and warm-start operations.
