Abstract: A retractable wing-mounted landing gear (10) for a heavy airplane with an aft center of gravity includes a trunnion (12), an aftly-cantilevered strut member (26), a ground-contacting wheel assembly (44, 46), and a folding drag brace (30). The trunnion (12) is operably mounted to the wing (14) for pivotal movement about a substantially forward and aft axis of rotation. The trunnion (12) is rotatable to cause substantially lateral movement of the gear (10) between in-use and stowed positions. The strut member (26) has upper and lower ends, the upper end being pivotally connected (28) to the trunnion (12) for relative forward and aft movement thereto. The pivotal connection (28) has an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to that of the trunnion (12). The ground-contacting wheel assembly (44, 46) is operably connected to the lower end (54) of the strut member (26). The folding drag brace (30) extends between the lower end (54) of the strut member (26) and a location on the aircraft spaced forwardly from the strut member (26). The folding drag brace (30) is movable between an in-use stabilizing position and a stowed position in which the drag brace (30) folds to permit relative forward and aft movement of the strut member (26). The strut member (26) is cantilevered aftly relative to the trunnion (12) when the gear (10) is in the in-use position. The strut member (26) pivots relatively forwardly for lateral, inboard retraction of the gear (10) to the stowed position. The gear (10) may also include a novel linkage between the wheel assembly (44, 46) and strut member (26) to transfer the substantially vertical load placed on the wheel assembly (44, 46) to the aftly angled, linearly-reciprocating, shock-absorbing portion (78) of the strut member (26).

Abstract: Methods and test devices for detecting the presence or amount of target ligand in non-competitive sandwich ligand-receptor assay processes. Antibodies which bind to the complex of ligand receptor and target ligand but do not bind significantly to the ligand receptor and which bind the target ligand with substantially less affinity than the complex are taught and their uses described. These assays can be used to eliminate the "hook" effect in non-competitive sandwich assays. Furthermore, the antibodies are selected and assay methods described so that, as a result of the assay process, no detectable response is observed due to the binding of antibody and ligand receptor in the absence of target ligand.

Abstract: This invention relates to a two step process for sweetening a sour hydrocarbon fraction containing tertiary mercaptans and primary or secondary mercaptans. In one step the mercaptans in the sour hydrocarbon fraction are reacted with hydrogen in the liquid phase and in the presence of a selective hydrogenolysis catalyst to selectively hydrogenolyse the tertiary mercaptans. In another step, the primary and/or secondary mercaptans are oxidized by reacting them with an oxidizing agent in the presence of oxidation catalyst and a basic component. The selective hydrogenolysis step and the oxidation step may be carried out in any order, i.e., either hydrogenolysis first followed by oxidation or vice versa.

Abstract: In order to measure the heat quantity extracted in a load circuit (12, 16, 14), the flow of the heating medium is periodically blocked by means of at least one electrically controllable shut-off valve (22) and in this case the idling value of at least one operating parameter (pressure difference of the circulating pump 20, rotational speed, electrical resistance and/or electrical power of the pump motor 21) is measured. Subsequently, when the heating medium is circulating the relevant parameter(s) is (are) continuously measured. The instantaneous values of the flow of the heating medium are then determined with the aid of said idling value and a stored (memory 33), predetermined functional relationship between said parameter and the rate of flow. This is performed in an arithmetic unit (31), which likewise forms and sums the instantaneous value products of the rate of flow and the difference between forward and return temperatures (sensors 35, 36). A description is given of different installation variants with a multiplicity of control possibilities that are "integrated" with measurement. The measurement is preferably performed using purely electrical operating parameters of the pump motor (21). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for measuring glucose tolerance in a subject. The methods are useful in a variety of contexts, such as in the diagnosis of diabetes in both human and animal subjects, in assessing gastric emptying times, and even in the diagnosis of insulin resistance. It is proposed that the methods of the present invention will prove to be of particular use in the mass screenings of population, e.g., in screening for type II diabetes mellitus, due to its simplicity and reproducibility. The method is even adaptable to simple finger stick analysis. The invention method includes the use of a potable beverage containing a low total loading dose of glucose in a low osmolar solution. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention empty rapidly from the stomach, thereby eliminating the nausea and vomiting typically associated with oral glucose tolerance tests. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention provide a provide excellent reproducibility of results and a distinct separation between nondiabetic and diabetic subjects, thereby enabling clinicians to better diagnose diabetes in a subject.
