Abstract: An assay device and method for detecting an analyte in a liquid sample derived from biological specimen (e.g. urine or serum). The device includes (a) a porous reaction membrane with an immobilized receptor which is capable of binding to the target substance, and (b) a body of absorbent material located adjacent to the porous reaction membrane which is capable of absorbing the liquid sample. The device also includes an elongate fluid port with a fluid seal disposed at the periphery of the fluid port defining a seal between a container wall and reaction membrane. Preferably, the reaction membrane is a strip and the fluid seal means is a continuous rim projecting from the container wall towards the strip. In one embodiment, the receptor is an antigen, preferably a protein blot (e.g. HIV), and the bindable target substance is antibody. A blocking solution (preferably 1-2% Tween-20 surfactant and BSA is applied to the membrane before sample addition.

Abstract: A sampling system (18) is disclosed for cross-stream sampling of bulk material (21) from a belt conveyor (19). The apparatus includes a sampler (28) movable across the conveyor belt (20) for segregating a cross-stream increment of bulk material (21) from the belt (20) and ejecting the sample into a collection chute (69) positioned adjacent the belt (20). The sampler (28) has a trapezoidal cross-section so that the surface area which it projects upstream of the bulk material flow is relatively small in comparison to its sample-accepting capacity. Preferably, the acute angle (44) is determined as a function of the anticipated rate of the sampler (28) across the belt (20) and the anticipated speed of the belt (20) while the sample is being taken so that the downstream plate (36) of the sampler (28) encounters no appreciable resistance to movement across the belt (20) by the bulk material and at the same time contributes to the maximizing of the volumetric capacity of the sampler (28). The system (18) also includes a surge dam (130) positioned upstream of the sampler (28) for limiting buildup of bulk material against the upstream side (40) of the sampler. Upon completion of an increment-collecting cycle, the sampler (28) is parked in a position relative to the opening (71) of the collection chute (69) so that ingress of bulk material into the chute opening (71) from the belt (20) is restricted by the sampler.

Abstract: A digital computer system is described capable of processing two or more computer instructions in parallel and having a cache storage unit for temporarily storing machine-level computer instructions in their journey from a higher-level storage unit of the computer system to the functional units which process the instructions. The computer system includes an instruction compounding unit located intermediate to the higher-level storage unit and the cache storage unit for analyzing the instructions and adding to each instruction a tag field which indicates whether or not that instruction may be processed in parallel with one or more neighboring instructions in the instruction stream. These tagged instructions are then stored in the cache unit. The computer system further includes a plurality of functional instruction processing units which operate in parallel with one another. The instructions supplied to these functional units are obtained from the cache storage unit. At instruction issue time, the tag fields of the instructions are examined and those tagged for parallel processing are sent to different ones of the functional units in accordance with the codings of their operation code fields. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A construction module is described, one side of which has four slightly resilient spring leaves (6, 6') which are arranged in a tulip shape and can easily snap onto the other five side faces (2 to 5) of an identical construction module. The side faces have strips (8, 8') which can be continuous or interrupted. On the inside, the spring leaves are provided with corresponding connecting elements (7, 7', 7'') which engage behind the said strips. A connection is produced between two construction modules firstly by slight deflection of the spring leaves from their position of rest and by subsequent engagement behind the said strips. The construction modules have the advantage that they can be connected to one another or detached from one another easily and reliably even after a long time and frequent use. <IMAGE>

By means of the automatic interlocking of the coupling elements when the interchangeable body is positioned the coupling process which is still to be carried out manually in known vehicles is superfluous. The automatic coupling process increases user friendliness when changing interchangeable bodies of this kind enormously. At the same time, there is no longer any risk of injury to the operator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un polysaccharide de groupe B de Neisseria meningitidis (GBMP), qu'on modifie en remplacant les groupes N-acétyles de résidus d'acide sialique par des groupes N-acyle et qui présente ainsi modifié une réaction immunitaire améliorée contre ce virus. En outre, la production d'anticorps qui entrent en réaction croisée avec le polycsaccharide capsulaire non modifié du meningocoque de groupe B et du virus K1 d'E. coli et avec d'autres cellules tissulaires ayant un épitope commun est réduite au minimum. La conjuguaison de ces polysaccharides modifiés avec une protéine physiologiquement acceptable, telle qu'un toxoïde du tétanos, entraîne la production d'anticorps protecteurs spécifiques comportant des niveaux négligeables d'anticorps entrant en réaction croisée avec le GBMP, ce qui offre une protection contre les infections causées par les meningocoques de groupe B et les virus K1 d'E. coli.
