Patent NO-20055263-D0 (NO)
Inventor: MEIER INGRID KRISTINE
IPC: A61Q5/12
Filed: 2005-11-09
Abstract: N,N-Dialkylpolyhydroxyalkylamines may be made by the reductive alkylation of an N-alkylpolyhydroxyalkylamine with an aldehyde or ketone, or with an equivalent compound, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst and hydrogen. The reaction is performed in a reaction solvent that contains at least 30 wt% of an organic solvent. The use of a sufficiently high proportion of an appropriate organic solvent in the reaction mixture reduces the amount of water present in the reaction mixture, and provides rapid reaction rates and high yields of the desired product. The N,N-dialkylpolyhydroxyalkylamines may be used in a wide variety of applications.

Title: Container storing freeze dried biological sample
Filed: 2011-01-28
Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a container holding, and a method of storing, freeze-dried biological samples. In particular, there is provided a container holding a freeze-dried material comprising a biological sample, the container comprising a chamber having an upper portion and a lower portion, the chamber comprising a wall and the lower portion being fluidly connected to the upper portion such that, when liquid is received at the upper portion, the received liquid can pass to and accumulate in the lower portion. Further, the freeze-dried material is located in the lower portion, and the container comprises a physical structure in the form of a stop protruding inwards from the wall, the physical structure being for inhibiting the freeze-dried material from moving from the lower portion of the chamber to the upper portion of the chamber. This ensures that the biological sample can be kept in a lower portion of the tube, ensuring that, when the biological sample is subsequently reconstituted by inserting water, substantially all of the biological sample is dissolved.

Title: Metal detection apparatus
Inventor: KERR BRUCE GORING
IPC: G01V3/11
Filed: 1982-02-08
Granted: 1987-01-08
Abstract: Metal detection apparatus includes an oscillator coil 101 driven by an oscillator 101, which induces in detector coils 103, 104 equal and opposite E.M.F.s such that a nominally zero output is produced at terminals D.E. When metal is detected the E.M.F.s in coils 103,4 move out balance to produce a voltage at D.E., which is detected by circuit IC11 and fed to output circuits 111. Drifts in the nominally zero output at D.E. are corrected by combining quadraphase balancing signals on lines 109, 110 with the detector coil output by means of amplifier IC10. The combined signal from IC10 is fed to phase sensitive detectors IC1,2 which respectively detect the quadraphase components of the combined signal from IC10. The outputs of IC1,2 are stored by capacitor circuits 112, 113 and used to adjust variable capacity diode bridges 106,7 which adjust the amplitude of the balancing signals to maintain a nominally zero output from IC10 when metal is not being detected. The capacitor circuits 112, 113 have a long time constant so that the balacing signals are not adjusted to cancel out the detection of metal, but circuits IC5,6,13 switches the stores 112, 113 to provide a shorter time constant after metal has been detected in order to restore the circuit rapidly to a balanced condition. Additionally, the circuits IC5,6,13 disconnect the capacitor circuits from the phase sensitive detectors IC1, IC2 for a given time when metal is detected so as to restore the circuit rapidly to a balanced condition after detection of the metal.
