Abstract: The present invention relates to a cassette for storing cinema film rolls ( 7 ). The cassette ( 14 ) comprises a first portion ( 15 ) and a second portion ( 16 ) which are essentially plane-parallel and separated by a spacing which exceeds the thickness of a cinema film roll ( 7 ) and connected by a connecting part ( 17 ). The cassette ( 14 ) also has an opening ( 18 ). The invention is characterized in that the cassette ( 14 ) comprises bearing supports ( 25, 26 ) for weight-relief against a horizontal circular table ( 4, 5 ) when the film roll ( 7 ) is moved between the cassette ( 14 ) and the circular table ( 4, 5 ). The invention also relates to a method of transferring a cinema film roll ( 7 ) between a storage cassette ( 14 ) and an essentially horizontal circular table ( 4, 5 ). The cassette is positioned so that bearing supports ( 25, 26 ) of the cassette ( 14 ) bear against the circular table ( 4, 5 ) and so that a contact edge ( 27 ) of the cassette ( 14 ) is fitted against the peripheral edge ( 28 ) of the circular table ( 4, 5 ). In this position, the film is moved between the cassette and the circular table. The present invention also relates to a rack ( 40 ) and a relief trolley ( 46 ) intended for cassettes ( 14 ) as described above.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods for detecting at least one member of a known binding pair in a sample, including a cell, where one member of the pair (termed the "receptor") is expressed by a bacteriophage, which phage is then used to detect the presence of the other member of the pair (termed the "ligand" or "target"). Rather than detecting the binding of at least one phage using antibody-based technology, the present invention relates to detecting the nucleic acid associated with the phages. In one aspect, the invention relates to identifying at least one antigen-bearing moiety (e.g., a red blood cell antigen) of interest present on a cell, e.g., a red blood cell, using antibody-displaying bacteriophages, using antiglobulin reagent-displaying bacteriophages and detecting at least one nucleic acid associated with the phage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recycling metal pickling baths, including rinsing baths and air washers. Said method is characterized in that a) before the recycling process, free acids in the liquid waste flows to be treated are converted into a metallic salt form, b) water is separated from the largely acid-free metallic salt solution produced in order to obtain a concentrated metal salt solution, and c) the concentrated metal salt solution is subjected to a thermal method in order to obtain metal oxides and free acids. The invention also relates to a corresponding device. The inventive method and device enable the degree of acid recovery and also the production of metal oxides to be significantly increased, with lower operating costs.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting leakage in a heat exchanger by circulating a tracer under pressure from the first side of said heat exchanger to the second side and then from the second side to the first side subsequent to reversing the direction of the pressure. In order to prevent a false test result it has previously been necessary to make sure that all tracers, for example electrolytes, colorants, or fluorofors, were rinsed from the first side prior to circulating the tracers from the second side to the first side. This time consuming and at the same time unreliable rinsing process is avoided by the method of the present invention by adding a second tracer from the second side.
