Abstract: L'invention porte sur un système de balayage aspirant monté en porte-à-faux à l'avant d'un nettoyeur de sols automatique Ce balayeur comprend une tête aspirante, une rampe pour débris sus-jacents et deux brosses coniques à rotation verticale dont la base est en contact avec le sol. Celle-ci balaie une aire supérieure à la largeur de l'appareil, en bordure de la piste du système de balayage aspirant. L'appareil entier est conçu pour pouvoir se déplacer vers le haut, par rapport au montage en porte-à-faux, jusqu'à la charnière d'articulation, de façon à permettre au balai aspirateur de s'adapter aux inégalités de surface éventuelles pouvant survenir lors de l'utilisation. S'il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser la fonction aspirateur avant un cycle de balayage, notamment en cas de double récurage ou de cycles de râclage, un dispositif articulé permet de lever le système pour le désengager du contact avec le sol. Une rampe est utilisée conjointement avec le balai aspirant pour ramasser les gros débris.

Title: Method and reagent of colorimetry employing an oxidoreductase and a transition metal complex that changes colour by transferring an electron
Inventor: NAGAKAWA KENJI
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2003-01-06
Granted: 2012-11-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a colorimetric method that can perform a simple and reliable analysis in a short time. An aqueous solution including a bipyridyl copper complex and glucose dehydrogenase is prepared. A filter paper is impregnated with the aqueous solution and dried. When a sample such as blood is applied to the filter paper, the bipyridyl copper complex produces reddish brown color in accordance with the glucose concentration, and the color produced in the complex is measured. This reaction is a single reaction and thus occurs in a short time (e.g., 5 seconds or less). Since this reaction requires neither hydrogen peroxide nor oxygen, the measured values are highly reliable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de distribution cutanée d'un fluide. Ce procédé de distribution consiste à générer une force d'aspiration sur une surface de boîtier. Une surface de couche cutanée est reçue, au moyen de la force d'aspiration, et l'extrémité proximale d'une aiguille se trouvant à proximité de cette zone perce la surface cutanée et injecte du fluide. Une force d'aspiration est générée pour effectuer le déplacement d'une aiguille dans le compartiment. L'aiguille est déplacée sous la force d'aspiration à partir du boîtier pour permettre de percer une couche cutanée. La poche contenant du fluide est vidée sous l'effet d'aspiration dans l'extrémité distale de l'aiguille et permet ainsi l'expulsion de fluide par l'extrémité proximale de l'aiguille pour une injection sous la couche cutanée.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer-coated heat-sealable packaging material, to a heat-sterilised package formed from this and to the use of the packaging material. The material comprises a fibre base ( 4), which is e.g. a packaging board made of bleached pulp, and polymer heat-seal layers (1, 9) located on both sides of this. In accordance with the invention, the package comprises, outside the fibre base, a polymer coating layer (2), which contains white pigment for covering the fibre base from sight, and a second coating layer (8), which contains light-absorbing pigment. A coating layer pigmented grey inside the fibre base, for instance, provides a light shield for the packaged product. The absorbent black pigment may also be located outside the fibre base underneath a white layer in order to stabilise the brightness of the material. The package may be e.g. a food package heat-sterilised in an autoclave, in which yellowing of the fibre-based material has been avoided by means of a white pigment.
