Abstract: An analyzer is described including a scanning means (1) for detecting different diameters of containers (4) arranged in a tray (5) and filled with body fluid, said scanning means (1) being arranged at an aspirating station (30). 
     The scanning means (1) consists of two movable scanning elements (2 and 3) and a sensor (6) formed by an optoelectronic interrupter switch which is associated with said scanning elements (2 and 3) and can successively be covered by the flags (27, 29) mounted at the upper side of the scanning elements (2, 3). 
     The sensor (6) produces a signal length (60) which depends on the diameter of container (4) positioned at the scanning station (46). 
     Container (4) is thereby centered and fixed in tray (5) by means of scanning element (2) and spring element (21) and tray (5) is centered and fixed on transport path (40) by means of scanning element (3) and spring element (22). 
     The signal length (60) produced by the scanning means (1) and fed to a microprocessor (55) of a control unit (50) is used for controlling the position and dip-in speed of a proboscis (36) of an aspirator (35) when body fluid is removed from a container (4).

Abstract: A hand structure (10) is interposed between a finger unit (M6) and an (20) arm unit of a robot (12), and causes the finger unit to perform a predetermined position conversion operation. The hand structure includes independent modules, which can be arbitrarily combined with each other, for performing elementary operations, i.e., reversing, shift, rotational, cushion, and compliance operations. 
     A method of selecting a hand structure which comprises independent modules for performing the elemen - tary operations and work clamping operations to assemble at least two works, includes the first step of judging a position of a first work located at a pickup position and a loading position of the first work with respect to a second work located at a placing position, the second step of judging necessity of the rotation module and the reversing module on the basis of a result of judgement in the first step, and the third step of selecting a type of a finger module for clamping the first work in accordance with a category unique to the first work. 
     The method also includes the fourth step of judging a presence/absence of a linear interpolation function of the robot, and the fifth step of judging necessity of the shift module on the basis of a result of judgement in the fourth step.

Abstract: A method for promoting the germination of seed, particularly grass seed, is described. A foraminous sheet of intertwined water-impermeable strips and/or fibres is preferably laid on the sown seed, suitably outdoors, and the seed typically left to germinate under natural conditions of temperature, light and rainfall (although artificial watering may be practised if necessary). The sheet has a carefully selected mesh density, suitably above 65%.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave plate antenna, in particular, for Doppler radar, for example, of the type with Janus configuration, consisting of a plurality of mutually parallel linear sub-arrays or of a single linear sub-array, each sub-array consisting of a plurality of radiating elements arranged on either side of a sub-array supply line, the sub-arrays being supplied in phase, the length of the sub-array supply line is, between two neighbouring elements, an integer multiple of the wavelength guided over the substrate of the printed circuit on which the radiating elements are printed and which corresponds to the frequency of operation of the antenna. It is such that between two neighbouring radiating elements of a same sub-array, the sub-array supply line has at least one elbow with the result that the distance projected onto an axis parallel to the transverse direction of the sub-array between two consecutive radiating elements of a same sub-array between them is less than the dimension of the said elements in this direction. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A helically shaped tube (1) is provided, through which the cable (3) is pulled, in order to damp shocks in a wire cable which is stressed in tension. The two tube ends are held together by a compression sleeve (2). In the event of accumulations of fallen stones and snow, a shock load acts on the cable, deforming the tube (1). This produces an extension of the cables. The kinetic energy is progressively reduced by the plastic deformation of the material.

Abstract: An information processing device having a function of preventing programs from being unjustly used includes a memory storing predetermined secret codes. Processing programs for the information processing device include the secret codes. When the secret code is read out during the execution of such a processing program, this secret code is compared with the secret code stored beforehand and whether the former coincides with the latter or not is judged. When coincides, the continuation of executing the program is allowed, and when does not coincide, the execution is inhibited. Further, the information processing device includes a memory storing the rewriting condition of the secret code stored in the memory storing the secret codes, an input key for inputting the rewriting condition of the secret code, and a controller which when the rewriting condition is inputted through the input key, judges whether or not the inputted rewriting condition conforms to the rewriting condition stored in the memory storing the rewriting conditions, and only when conforms to, allows the rewriting of the secret code stored in the memory storing the secret codes.

Abstract: This invention relates to lymphotoxin- beta , a lymphocyte membrane type protein. This protein is found on the surface of a number of cells, including phorbol ester (PMA) stimulated T cell hybridoma II-23.D7 cells. This invention also relates to complexes formed between lymphotoxin- beta  and other peptides such as lymphotoxin- alpha  and to complexes comprising multiple subunits of lymphotoxin- beta . These proteins and complexes are useful in holding LT- alpha  formed within the cell on the cell surface where the LT- alpha /LT beta  complex may act as an inflammation regulating agent, a tumor growth inhibiting agent, a T cell inhibiting agent, a T cell activating agent, an autoimmune disease regulating agent, or an HIV inhibiting agent. Furthermore, the antitumor activity of the LT- alpha /LT- beta  complex may be delivered to tumor cells by tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) transfected with the gene for LT- beta .

Abstract: A tubular hypodermic needle syringe has a tubular sheath that slides over the exterior of the syringe to cover the needle. The sheath is locked over the needle by a latch that engages the syringe and the sheath. The latch is held in its locking engagement by a sliding collar that normally engages the latch to lock the latch but which is manually slidable to disengage the latch so that the sheath can be manually moved to expose the needle. A spring urges the collar to a latch engaging position to automatically lock the sheath over the needle.
