IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1995-09-27
Abstract: A chromatographic assay device for use with immunoassays allows rapid and convenient assays of analytes of biological interest, and permits extractions to be carried out in situ, avoiding the use of separate extraction vessels. The device has a wide dynamic range and avoids interference from particulates or colored components. In one form, the device comprises: (1) a first opposable component comprising a sample preparation zone adapted to receive a sample to be assayed; and (2) a second opposable component comprising a chromatographic medium. The first and second opposable components can be brought into opposition so as to cause the sample preparation zone to apply the sample to be tested to the chromatographic medium. Preferably, the analyte is detected with a visually detectable label. Other variations of the device vary the arrangement of components to provide optimal chromatography for a variety of analytes, as well as to permit bidirectional chromatography; still other variations are suitable for competitive immunoassays. The devices can be incorporated in test kits, and assay methods, both sandwich and competitive, using the devices are also disclosed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to diesel-electric vehicles
IPC: H02P9/00
Filed: 1933-01-14
Abstract: 402,950. Systems for transmitting mechanical power. SULZER FRERES SOC. ANON., Winterthur, Switzerland. Jan. 14, 1933, No. 1269. Convention date, Feb. 1, 1932. [Class 38 (iv).] In a Diesel-electric vehicle the engine power is regulated by manually controlling the fuel supply whilst the electric load on the engine, and thus the vehicle speed, is automatically controlled in accordance with the engine speed so as to maintain the maximum load on the engine permitted by the fuel setting. In the construction shown the Diesel engine 1 drives a main generator 2, supplying current to the traction motors, and an auxiliary generator 3 energising the field winding 4 of the main generator. The engine drives a governor 7 operating a lever 8 which controls a rheostat 5 in the main field winding circuit by means of a fluid-pressure relay 9, 10. The supply of fuel to the engine is controlled by the driver by means of a hand-wheel 12 which also adjusts the tension of the governor loading spring 13, the engine output remaining substantially constant in accordance with the fuel setting. When the spring 13 balances the force due to the governor weights the piston valve 9 is in the position shown and the engine speed and the load are such that the fuel-load ratio is a minimum. When part only of the resistance 5 is in circuit any lessening of engine speed, due to increase in load or a reduction in fuel supply, causes the valve 9 to move upwards and the piston 10 to be moved downwards, so that the resistance in circuit will be increased and the field current reduced. The generator output will thus be reduced and the engine speed will rise again to the original value. Similarly if the engine speed rises the generator output will be increased and the engine speed will fall again. In order to prevent undesirably high track speeds due to a sudden rapid decrease of traction resistance a governor may be provided driven by an axle and arranged to reduce the fuel supply when the maximum permissible track speed is exceeded. Similar means may be provided for controlling the main generator field current. The hand-wheel 12 may also adjust a rheostat in the field 14 of the auxiliary generator 3 so as to tend to maintain the auxiliary generator voltage constant or to vary it as desired when this generator is used to supply auxiliaries in addition to providing the exciting current for the main generator.

[Class 6 (i).] In road rollers, traction engines, vehicles &c. having one or more pairs of wheels or rollers disposed side by side on separate axles which are free to tilt so that the wheels may accommodate themselves to the contour of the road, or which are provided with means for positively adjusting them, the gear wheels or sprockets for driving the wheels are mounted so that they cannot tilt laterally and are connected to the wheels through gimbals or other mountings allowing universal relative movement. Ball-and-socket mountings may be provided for the axles, as well as means for locking the axles after adjustment and for taking up slackness in the adjusting-means and in the axle mountings. The rear wheels a of a road roller are mounted on axles b extended towards one another and each provided with a spherical enlargement d which engages laterally with a shallow socket e in a fixed axle casing f. Driving-power for each wheel a is transmitted through a pinion i to a toothed wheel h rotatably mounted on the casing f and connected to the wheel a through a gimbal comprising a floating frame or ring l. This frame l is pivotally connected to the toothed wheel h at two diametrically opposite points by pins m passing through bosses o, p on the wheel h, and to the wheel or roller a at two other diametrically opposite points by pins r passing through bosses t on driving-bolts u secured in the webs v of the wheel. The axles b may be supported resiliently at their inner ends, and trunnions may be employed instead of ball-and-socket mountings. Means for adjusting the tilt of the axles may consist of a T-headed plunger mounted in a tubular casing wand engaging spherical heads z on the inner end of the axles. The plunger is raised by a wedge 1 engaging its inclined lower end and moved by means of a screwed rod 4 rotated by worm gearing 5, 6. Slack may be taken up and the axles locked in position and drawn towards one another by a screwed rod 10 passing through a fixed trunnion bar 8 and provided with a collar 13 bearing against a block 14 which carries the centre joint 15 of toggle links 16, 17 connecting together the heads z. Chain gearing may be used for driving the wheels a, and the power transmitting pinions or sprockets need not be at the top of the driving wheels or sprockets, as shown. Lugs may be employed instead of the bolts u.

Title: Hydrogenation process for the production of alcohols
Inventor: LACEY RICHARD NORMAN
Filed: 1950-01-19
Abstract: A process for the production of 2 : 2 : 4-trimethyl pentan-1 : 3-diol and isobutanol comprises treating 5 : 5-dimethyl-2 : 4-di-isopropyl-6 - hydroxy - 1 : 3 - dioxan (isobutyraldoxan) in the liquid phase with hydrogen at temperatures in the range 30 DEG  to 130 DEG  C. and under acidic conditions and in the presence in the reaction mixture of a hydrogenation catalyst.  The acidic reaction conditions may be brought about by the addition of one or more weak acids such as acetic, propionic, butyric, isobutyric, succinic, malonic or adipic acids.  Strong acids such as phosphoric and trichloracetic acids and formic acid should be preferably avoided as they have a deterious effect on the catalyst.  The addition of calcium chloride renders the starting material sufficiently acidic, and crude isobutyraldoxan dried over anhydrous calcium chloride is sufficiently acid to be employed directly.  A diluent may be employed if desired and ethanol, isopropanol and isobutanol are suitable.  Atmospheric or superatmospheric pressure may be employed.  In examples (1) isobutyraldoxan, isopropanol, acetic acid and Raney nickel are heated under hydrogen and the desired product isolated by distillation.  On repeating the process in the absence of acetic acid after only a small portion of the hydrogen is absorbed the absorbtion ceases but recommences on the addition of the acid.  In example (2) isobutyraldoxan dried under calcium chloride is treated as in example (1), though no acid is added, to give the desired diol and isobutanol.  Isobutyraldoxan may be prepared by condensing isobutyraldehyde in the presence of an alkali catalyst.

Title: Improvements in or relating to clutches
IPC: F16D11/06
Filed: 1953-01-22
Abstract: 728,614. One-revolution clutches. JOHNSON, H. A. Jan. 22, 1953, No. 1917/53. Class 80 (2). Release means for the rocking key 3 of a one-revolution press clutch between a continuously rotating belt-driven member 2 and a shaft 1, comprises a first member 14 fast,' through a spindle 10, with a spring-loaded pedal 18, by which it is rocked to a position aligning a slot 19, in the first member 14, with the stoparm 3a of the key 3, permitting the latter to engage under its spring-load 7 ; and a second member 16, also having a slot 20 which, in the idle position shown, permits passage of the keyarm 3a towards release position, but which, through a connecting torsion-spring 26, is carried round by the rocking of the pedal 18, to move its release slot 20 out of release position. Thus if the pedal 18 is depressed and not released, the key-arm 3a will be obstructed, for automatic clutch disengagement at the end of a revolution, by the second member 16, whereas if the pedal 18 is released, a coupling pin 29 on the first member 14 will turn the second member back to the release position, shown, but the key-arm 3a will then be obstructed by the first member 14, thus ensuring automatic clutch disengagement at the end of one revolution irrespective as to whether the pedal 18 is or is not released. To permit continuous operation when the pedal 18 is depressed, a knob 39 can be withdrawn to lock the second member 16 in an aligned key-release position on the spindle 10, by a diametral key 35 engaging notches 38 in the second member 16. Disengagement of the rocking-key 3 is cushioned by an axial spring 40 acting on the release member 14.
