Abstract: A shaving system comprises novel components of a razor handle (1), a razor blade cartridge (2), and a magazine (5) holding a supply of cartridges. The handle and magazine are adapted to cooperate so that a used cartridge on the handle is replaced by (i) inserting the used cartridge into an empty magazine compartment, which unlatches the handle from the cartridge; (ii) moving the handle along the magazine towards a next adjacent compartment accommodating a fresh cartridge, firstly to disconnect the handle from the used cartridge which is left in its compartment and secondly to latch the handle onto the fresh cartridge held in the next compartment; and (iii) withdrawing from the magazine the handle with the fresh cartridge attached. Thus, the cartridges are dispensed from the magazine in turn with each cartridge replacement operation being effected by a single stroke of the handle relative to the magazine, this stroke having distinct components of insertion, advancement and withdrawal. A novel handle and cartridge coupling system is used, the cartridge having key elements (14) which engage in slots (15) provided on the handle so that the handle is connected to the cartridge by displacement relative thereto in a direction transverse to the cartridge and substantially parallel to its front face (25), and latch devices (18) which engage in notches (17) at the ends of the cartridge being provided on the handle to lock the cartridge against detachment from the handle. Conveniently, the latch devices and notches (17, 18) define a pivot enabling pivotal movement of the cartridge on the handle.

Abstract: Separation media for electrophoresis, and methods of filling and flushing of electrophoretic devices such as capillaries are described. By preparing submicron to above-micron sized cross-linked gel particles and using gel swelling equilibrium concepts, such devices can be easily filled and flushed. Gel particles can be prepared by inverse emulsion, precipitation and suspension polymerization. These particles can be swollen and collapsed by small changes in temperature, pH, and ionic strength of solvent. Other approaches involve the use of polyelectrolyte complexes and copolymers of hydrophobic and hydrophilic repeat units. Both systems can be gelled by changing temperature and ionic strength of the solvent.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the electrolytic processing of flat and perforated items, especially in the form of printed circuit boards with drillings, which are taken through a treatment bath or to a processing station by conveyor means, in which there are means for reducing the metal-ion-depleted diffusion region in front of the surface of the items to be processed. For this purpose, in the presence of an anode and a cathodic item (K) or a cathode and an anodic item, the surface (K1) of the item to be treated is continuously mechanically wiped and the electrolyte is moved in a component substantially perpendicular to the plane of the item to be processed and taken through its drillings (42). The description also relates to an arrangement for implementing the process which contains means (W) for wiping the surfaces of the items to be treated and means to move the electrolyte through its drillings.

At one end, the armature seals an air-supply line and at the other end a vacuumizing line. The lines are accordingly alternately connected to a valve chamber, and the valve chamber communicates with the main valve through a control channel. The armature is connected to a diaphragm so as to provide axial guidance for the armature without friction. The diaphragm is made of resilient material and is interposed between the armature and the electromagnet such that, when the armature is at one end of its stroke, it seals off the air-supply line.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration. The system provides an audio/video (AV) path (13) for carrying AV signal among the workstations, a video mosaic generator (36) for combining images, and an audio summer or mixer (38). At least part of the AV path (13b) is implemented with unshielded twisted pair wiring. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations (12) and their interconnecting LANs (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10) interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-paste technology.

Abstract: The monitoring probe monitors goods in danger of being stolen. It has a sensor element to monitor a usual contact of the probe (10) with the goods. A connection cable (12) connects the probe (10) to a monitoring circuit of a theft prevention system. If the usual contact between the probe (10) and the goods is removed, the probe (10) provides a signal which can be evaluated by the monitoring circuit as an alarm situation. The probe (10) includes a flexible contact element (14) which normally lies flat on the goods and makes contact. Its shape is thus determined by the shape of the goods. The sensor element of the probe (10) comprises a wire strain gauge on which a force is exerted when the usual contact between the goods and the probe (10) is broken. Thus a change in the shape of the contact element (14) results in a change in the output signal.

Abstract: The rapid anti-vibration coupling for an impact tool comprises a cylindrical shaped connector (1) which extends the body (10') of an impact tool (1') towards the front. The tool has three angularly spaced longitudinal grooves (10) in which a roller (2) with a spindle (20) can be displaced. The spindle ends can roll or slide on the edges (100) of the groove. A ring (3) slipped onto the connector displaces along it and is returned rearwards against the rollers by a spring (4). The ring, with an internal annular projection (30), whose front face is plane and rear face concave partially envelops the rollers. The ring is displaced frontwards by a collar (5) which surrounds the assembly and which has on its internal wall an annular rib. The collar internal wall has in the rear an annular projection, a helicoidal rib having along the whole of its length a groove in which a pin in the connector can slide when the collar is turned to move it forward. The simply made and cheap coupling improves the user comfort of an impact tool.

Abstract: Assay in a sample of a bloodgroup antigen present on erythrocytes or an antibody binding to such a bloodgroup antigen. The sample is treated with a reagent containing antibody binding to a bloodgroup antigen, or erythrocytes, whereby a complex of erythrocyte, bloodgroup antigen present thereon and antibody bound thereto is formed if the reagent contains antibody binding to a bloodgroup antigen present in the sample or the sample contains antibody binding to a bloodgroup antigen present in the reagent. This complex, if any has formed, is separated from uncomplexed erythrocytes by filtration through a solid phase which is permeable to the uncomplexed erythrocytes, on which phase an immunoglobulin-binding material is immobilized, whereafter the result is detected. The filtration can be effected by means of centrifugation. The method can be used for bloodgroup assay, antibody screening and identification, and cross tests.
