Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor for gaseous and vaporous species. The sensor (10) comprises a substrate (12) having a surface (14) having an opening therein. A gas and vapor permeable sensing electrode (20) having front and back sides is located across the opening with the front side facing generally the same direction as does the surface. A gas flow path (18) leads to the back side of the sensing electrode (20). An electrolytic medium (26) is in contact with the front side of the electrode. An additional electrode (24) is in contact with the electrolytic medium and is electronically isolated from the sensing electrode other than via the electrolytic medium. A gas sensor as described has a very fast response time and an extended lifetime and can be made selective for any of a number of different gaseous species.

Abstract: Male and female book binding strips are packaged in cassettes (31) and the respective cassettes are stacked in male and female hopper stations (66, 116). Punched sheets are deposited in a staging station. The components of the book are then assembled in an assembly station (121). Thus the stack of sheets is fed onto one jaw and one male strip is fed onto that jaw while a female strip is fed onto the opposite jaw superimposed above the first-mentioned jaw. The two jaws (123, 136) are moved toward each other until the stack is loosely held therebetween. Thereupon the jaws are pivoted to vertical position, the stack resting on a base plate attached to one one jaw. The stack is jogged so that the holes in the sheets are aligned with each other and with the holes in the female strip. The male strip is pushed inward toward the stack, the studs fitting through the holes in the sheets and through the female strip. The assembled stack and strips are then moved into a bind station (201) where the strips are compressed together, excess stud length cut off and rivet heads formed on the severed ends of the studs.

Abstract: In known incubators which are used in analyzers, test elements are housed in a rotor between a lower support and a cover member. These devices suffer from the problem of warpage which affects the readings obtained. This is due to variations in height of the support surface away from its predicted position. As a consequence, great accuracy is required when manufacturing the rotors. Described herein is an incubator (62) comprising a rotor (64) which moves above a stationary surface (86), the rotor comprising stations having a cover member (68), a lower support (66) for a test element (E), and a spring (70) biasing the cover member (68) against the lower support (66). Three reference surfaces (110, 110′) are provided on the stationary surface (86) for the lower support (66) of the rotor (64) to slide against to ensure that the test element (E) is at the correct height for reading.

Abstract: A processing system for identifying operator selection of a graphics object in a system using parallel pixel generation. Parallel pixel generation results in a fragment comprising a series of M pixels being generated at each processing cycle. The image fragment must be tested against an operator defined selection area to determine whether the object being generated falls within the operator selection area. Fragments are initially classified as totally within or totally outside of the area. If a fragment intersects the operator selection area, applying a mask for each boundary of the operator defined area. Selection is signalled based upon the logical combination of the masked image fragments. Operator selection or picking occurs without the overhead of maintaining a pick RAM for the X and Y dimensions.
