Abstract: The device has a time meter triggered inductively by a vehicle and an influencing device (GM) arranged after the time meter which is activated at the start of the time measurement and deactivated after a defined measurement period. A control magnet (SM) mounted on the track before the influencing device is inductively influenced by a passing vehicle.  The control magnet (SM) is connected via a rectifier (GL) and energy storage device (C) to an evaluation device (AWE) supplied with the locally applied voltage. The evaluation device starts a time measurement period if the voltage exceeds a defined threshold and sets a bistable device (R1)for activating the influencing device. When the switching time has elapsed the bistable switch is reset to deactivate the influencing device.

Abstract: A real-time biological data processing PC card is very lightweight, cost effective, and portable. The real-time biological data processing PC card is capable of converting a host personal computer system into a powerful diagnostic instrument. Each real-time biological data processing PC card is adapted to input and process biological data from one or more biological data sensors, and is interchangeable with other real-time biological data processing PC cards. A practitioner having three different real-time biological data processing PC cards, for example, each one corresponding to a different biological data collection device, effectively carries three full-sized, powerful diagnostic instruments. The full resources of a host personal computer can be utilized and converted into a powerful diagnostic instrument, for each biological data collection device, by the insertion of one of the real-time biological data processing PC cards.

Abstract: Gas diffusion electrodes (1) for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are modified such that the diffusion of water therein is inhibited in comparison with un-modified electrodes. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells with the modified gas diffusion electrodes can be operated, with on the average unchanged operating conditions, without addition of water, since the gas diffusion electrodes do not allow more water to escape than that formed during the reaction of burnable gas and oxidizing agent, and guarantee sufficient membrane moisture.

Abstract: A throttle valve comprising a throttle plug (3), which cooperates with a valve seat (2, 5, 6), having a substantially annular gasket (5) which, when the throttle plug (3) is in the closing position, adheres with a certain compressive force, transverse to the flow direction, against the peripheral end edge of the plug (3). According to the invention, at least a part of the compressive force acting between the gasket (5) and the end edge of the plug (3) is exerted by the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid intercepted when the valve is in the closing condition. The gasket (5) has compression surfaces (605), in a radially outer position with respect to the surface contacting the peripheral end edge of the plug (3), turned opposite the contact surface between the gasket (5) and the plug (3), and being oriented in such a way that at least one of their directional components is parallel to the flow, in order to generate a compression perpendicular to the flow. Said surfaces (605) are accessible and exposed to the intercepted fluid.

Abstract: Oligonucleotides and other biomolecules are immobilized in high density on solid substrates through covalent forces using either a permanent thioether bond, or a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond to a surface thiol. Substrates which have hydroxyl groups on their surfaces can be first silanized with a trichlorosilane containing 2-20 carbon atoms in its hydrocarbon backbone, terminating in a protected thiol group. The oligonucleotides or other biomolecules are first connected to a tether consisting of a hydrocarbon or polyether chain of 2-20 units in length which terminates in a thiol group. This thiol may be further modified with a halobenzylic-bifunctional water soluble reagent which allows the conjugate to be immobilized onto the surface thiol group by a permanent thioether bond. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide-tether-thiol group can be converted to a pyridyldisulfide functionality which attaches to the surface thiol by a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond. The permanently bound oligonucleotides are immobilized in high density compared to other types of thiol functionalized silane surfaces and to the avidin-biotin method.
