Abstract: Capillary tube for taking capillary blood samples for a system for measuring the clotting time. To reduce the risk of infection for laboratory staff and to simplify the work involved in the taking and preparation of capillary blood samples, the capillary tube is characterised in that it consists of a plastic, and a lyophilisate (14, 15, 16) which is produced by freeze-drying a mixture which contains an anticoagulant and at least one high molecular weight additive is distributed approximately uniformly in its interior and over its entire length. <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0432627-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FASSBINDER HANS-GEORG DR RER N
IPC: G01F1/80
Filed: 1990-12-05
Abstract: In one class of measuring devices, a rotary element, which is carried by a shaft, is driven at a constant speed of rotation and deflects the mass flow impinging axially on the rotary element radially, imparting to it in the process a tangential velocity component, is used for measuring a preferably heterogeneous mass flow. The torque dependent on the mass flow is measured at the shaft. For this purpose, a first spur gear attached to the shaft is provided, the said gear being in engagement with a second spur gear. The second spur gear is mounted in a carrier element which, for its part, is mounted to allow rotation about the axis of the shaft and is held firmly in its position by a force-sensing device. To improve the measuring sensitivity, the second spur gear has a second tooth engagement, opposite to the first spur gear, with an internally toothed gearing, which is likewise mounted to allow rotation about the axis of the shaft and is made to rotate by a driving pinion. A rotational body made to rotate in the same direction as the shaft is furthermore frictionally connected to the carrier element and/or the first spur gear. The strength of the hydrodynamic frictional engagement is adjusted so that the frictional torques of the first and second spur gear are compensated by the frictional torque of the frictional engagement.

Abstract: In order to avoid having to produce bank cards equipped with a microprocessor, whose cost although minimal remains of too high an order, wallet cards are produced comprising only memory areas. They then comprise four memory areas, one area (3) relating to the identity of the holder, or of the card, one area (6) relating to the financial balance, a third area (5) relating to a transaction counter. This transaction counter counts the number of financial operations carried out with the card. A fourth area (4) comprises a certificate. This certificate is processed, in each reader (2) which carries out a transaction with the card, with a DES algorithm. The value of this certificate is a function, according to an algorithm which is common to all the readers, of the identity, of the contents of the transaction counter, and of the balance. At the time when a new transaction is effected with the card, it is verified in advance that the contents of the certificate are the same as those which any terminal equipped with the same algorithm is capable of recalculating.

Abstract: An exhaust gas cleaning system for a diesel engine has a particulate filter (25) which is disposed in an exhaust passage (5) of the diesel engine (1) and traps combustible particles contained in exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage. An exhaust flow control valve (27) is disposed in the exhaust passage downstream of the particulate filter and limits the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage. An intake air heater (22) is disposed in the intake passage of the engine and heats intake air flowing through the intake passage. When the particulate filter is to be recovered, the intake air heater is caused to heat the intake air and the exhaust flow control valve is caused to limit the amount of exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage. Then the engine speed is increased when the temperature of the exhaust gas in the exhaust passage upstream of the exhaust flow control valve reaches a predetermined value so that the combustible particles trapped in the particulate filter burns under the heat of the exhaust gas.

Abstract: For the purpose of the optical control of the quality of needles (10) of a knitting machine, an image sensor camera (20) is used to take a test picture of each needle (10) when the needle is moved out of its rest position in order to form a mesh. The analog image signals read out from the image sensor (26, 30) are converted into digital pixel signals, and the digital pixel signals of the test picture or of individual test zones of the test picture are processed in order to obtain information on the state of each needle. By using a coarse-resolution image sensor (26), coarse defects can be detected at full working speed during normal operation of the knitting machine. Wear phenomena or fine defects in the needles can be determined by using a high-resolution image sensor (30) at special inspection times at a reduced operating speed of the knitting machine. <IMAGE>
