Abstract: More specifically, the invention relates to a sensor based on magnetic resonance for detecting the presence or monitoring the concentration of an analyte in a sample solution. The sensor comprises magnetic nanoparticles linked to a moiety upon which the analyte can reversibly bind, the nanoparticles being confined in a chamber with semipermeable walls which are impermeable to the nanoparticles but permeable to the analyte. Upon binding of the analyte to the nanoparticles, the latter aggregate which can be detected by a change in the T2 relaxation time of the sample solution within the chamber (magnetic relaxation switch). The analyte may be a carbohydrate such as glucose, an antibody, an amino acid, a nucleic acid, an oligonucleotide, a therapeutic agent, a peptide, a protein, etc. The assay may be read out using MRS or MRI, e.g. of well plates for high throughput analysis. The assay may be implantable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control valve (1), in particular an angle control valve and double control valve, for extreme control applications, preferably for discharge or reduction for hot separators and vacuum distillation columns. The valve piston (12) and the valve head (13) are designed as one piece and consist of tungsten carbide. Furthermore, the control valve comprises different constructions across the entire control valve range. For example, the valve housing (100), the valve seat (6) and a packing retainer (14) are optionally shaped such that the inner hollow space tapers continuously from the valve inlet to the valve seat (6), which prevents evaporation upstream of the valve seat (6). Furthermore, the double control valve consists of a large sub-valve (36) and at least one small sub-valve (37), wherein the large sub-valve (36) is designed as an adjustable open-closed piston valve and the small sub-valve (37) is designed as a control valve.

Abstract: A water-conserving toilet is disclosed and includes a bowl (36) for receiving waste and a waste outlet (40) extending laterally from the bowl (36) and defining a first, shallow trap arranged so that a relatively shallow body of liquid is normally retained in the bottom of the bowl (36) for preventing gaseous flow through the trap. A flush system is provided and is arranged, when operated, to deliver a charge of flushing liquid into the bowl (36) in a direction to cause said body of liquid to be discharged through said outlet (40). A waste holding tank (42) communicates with said bowl outlet (40) for receiving waste from the bowl (36) and the holding tank (42) has an outlet (44) extending outwardly from the tank (42) and adapted for connection to a sewer inlet. The holding tank outlet (44) defines a second trap of substantial height capable of preventing reverse flow of sewer gas into the holding tank (42) in use and the holding tank (42) and second trap are arranged to contain a volume of liquid substantially in excess of the volume discharged from the bowl (36) at each flush. A flexible diaphragm (112) extends across the holding tank (42) above the level at which liquid enters from the bowl (36) and is sealed to the tank in gas-tight fashion. The diaphragm (112) is adapted to flex upwardly and accommodate air displaced as liquid enters the tank (42) from the bowl, (36) so as to minimize air resistance to flushing of liquid from the bowl (36).

Abstract: A method of molding foaming plastics in consecutive process cycles. The method includes directing foaming plastics to molding means for molding and sintering. The molding means are appropriate to form different molded items. The molding means communicates via an installation means with a supplying means. The supplying means serves to supply under the control of a control means, steam for heating, cold water for cooling, vacuum for providing suction and compressed air as needed to the molding means. The molding means has at least one pressure sensor means and/or temperature sensor means. The pressure sensor means and/or the temperature sensor means are connected to the control means. The control means continuously compares the pressure values sensed by the pressure sensor means and/or the temperature values sensed by the temperature sensor means during each process cycle with associated given pressure values and temperature values stored in the control means and based on said comparison the control means releases appropriate control signals to the supply means. The control means has storage means for storing values of control signals of earlier process cycles. The control means compares said values of earlier process cycles. The control means further comprises a storage for resulting cycle time lengths of the control signals of earlier process steps being restored process cycle by process cycle and the control means compares the last resulting lengths of the control signals to earlier cycle time lengths of the corresponding control signals and sets the related given stored values in the direction of decreasing the total process cycle time for the next cycle thereby watching given upper and lower limits of the given values and the given time limits for the control signal lengths.

Title: Anti-theft devices for automotive vehicles
IPC: B60R25/08
Filed: 1983-02-03
Granted: 1987-02-04
Abstract: An anti-theft device for an automotive vehicle such as a car or truck having fluid pressure-operated brakes. The device includes a lockable member that, when activated while the brakes have been applied by the driver, inhibits any substantial change in the then existing fluid pressure condition in the brake fluid pressure system of the vehicle. The brakes thus remain locked, preventing normal movement of the vehicle, even if the brake pedal is subsequently released and the engine is running. The device can also include an additional lockable member for immobilizing the brake pedal to prevent its being depressed. Optionally, the device can also include one or more electrical switches which are operated, when either lockable member is activated, to ground out the distributor and or open the ignition circuit at a point away from the ignition lock terminals, thereby to prevent starting of the engine. Preferably a special key is provided for releasing the lockable member, and special screws, e.g. screws with non-conventional heads, can be used to assemble the device as well as to mount the operator-accessible parts of the device in the vehicle so as to make removal or disassembly of the device more difficult.
