Title: Integral pump and control valve
Inventor: YOUNG BRIAN WILLIAM
IPC: F04B9/113
Filed: 1999-01-26
Abstract: A pumping unit comprising a pump 23, control valve 24 and tip bucket mechanism 25 enclosed in a single housing, all powered by the potential energy of the supply. The pumping unit comprises a large area double acting piston (Fig. 2) in cylinder 1 which drives pumping pistons (6,8) in cylinders 5, 7 which receive and supply pumped water through non-return valves 11, 10. Low pressure drive water for the large piston is alternately supplied and exhausted through pipes 3, 4, the control valve and from supply 13 and exhaust 14 pipes. The valve is actuated by filling and tipping of the tip bucket mechanism and the frequency at which the unit operates may be varied by adjustment of the water supply to the tipping bucket. The control valve may be of spool, rotary or slide type.

Patent GB-2353127-A (GB)
Title: Centralised rail control system
Inventor: DEMOLE FREDERIC JEAN-PIERRE
IPC: B61L25/02
Filed: 1999-08-07
Abstract: The centralised rail control network relies on a national central control centre based on a large high performance computer that directly sends instructions to carriages and periodically receives speed and geographical location data from carriages. The same computer also directly controls all junctions on the network and is linked to a database on which network data is stored. This makes it possible for the computer to give reduced speed or stop instructions to each individual carriage so that trains can travel on the network safely. The system provides significantly more safety, and cost-effectiveness than traditional regional man-operated networks and is ideally suited to large developing countries where a substantial increase in efficiency and safety is needed.

Patent GB-191420575-A (GB)
IPC: B41B11/00
Abstract: 20,575. Williams, G. T. Oct. 6. Type-bar-making machines; spacers; matrices. -Wedge spacers for giving a large spacing- range consist of a body-part having two independent spacing-members adjustably mounted thereon. In Figs. 14 and 15 is shown a form of the spacer for use in a Mergenthaler type of machine. The body-part 20 is wedge-shaped and is provided with a dovetailed tongue 21 adapted to engage a slot 22 in a wedge 23, the second spacing-member 26 being of uniform thickness and sliding on a dovetailed projection 24 on the tongue 21. If the wedge 23 acting in conjunction with the body part 20 is insufficient to give the requisite spacing, both the members 26 and the wedge 23 are used. To operate the wedge 23 independently of the member 26, a bifurcated operating-device is provided. In the modification shown in Fig. 1, the spacer is shown forming the lower part A, B of a matrix-bar provided with matrix-members 7 having a complete set of characters thereon, the part A, B being also shown enlarged and in section in Fig. 3. These matrix-bars may therefore be used alternatively as matrix-bars or spacers. The body-part 9 of the spacer is provided with a stationary wedge-shaped member 12 having a dovetailed projection 13 engaged by a wedge 15, and with a slot 19 engaged by projections 17, 18 on the other spacing-member 16. The wedge 15 and member 16 are operated through lugs x, y. The matrix-bars are slidably mounted in a frame which, during the operation of the machine, is lifted by cams to its upward limit and is then allowed to fall by gravity, the matrix-bars being set during the fall of the frame by pins operated from a keyboard which engage lugs on the rigid part 5 of the matrixbars.

Title: Method for the determination of the amount of a ligand in a biological fluid and kit for carrying out such a method
Inventor: BERGMANN ANDREAS
IPC: G01N33/78
Filed: 1993-04-22
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP93/00981 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 17, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 17, 1995 PCT Filed Apr. 22, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/22675 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 11, 1993A method is revealed for the quantitative determination of the proportion of the free form of a thyroid hormone ligand in a sample of a biological fluid in which the ligand is present partly in the free form and also partly in a form in which it is bound to physiological binding proteins. In the first step, a ligand derivative of the thyroid hormone with an immunoglobulin, a labelled specific binder, and a test tube whose walls are coated with an excess of a protein material are provided. In the second step, a sample of the biological fluid containing an unknown amount of the free thyroid hormone ligand, a solution containing a known amount of the ligand derivative, and a solution containing a known, less than stoichiometric amount of the labelled specific binder are added to the test tube to form a liquid reaction mixture. In the third step, the reaction mixture is incubated to allow the free thyroid hormone ligand and the ligand derivative in the liquid reaction mixture to compete for the binding sites of the labelled specific binder, and to allow, in a concomitant slower reaction, the binding of the immunoglobulin part of the ligand derivative to the excess of the protein material on the walls of the test tube. In the fourth step, the remaining liquid reaction mixture is removed from the test tube. In the final steps, the amount of labelled specific binder bound to the walls of the test tube is determined and the amount of the free thyroid hormone ligand calculated.

Since an oxide film of the layer 2 having a small dielectric constant is formed on the surface of the substrate 1, wirings for a power source and signal wirings 6 can be provided directly even if a high speed operation is required. Numeral 4 designates an interlayer connecting conductor made of Al or Cu for electrically connecting upper and lower wirings, numeral 5 designates an interlayer insulating film, numeral 6 designates X-direction wirings, numeral 7 designates Y-direction wirings, and numeral 8 designates a pedestal.
