Title: Apparatus and method for amplification of nucleic acids
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1988-12-16
Granted: 1992-07-01
Abstract: Described is a method for performing the amplification of nucleic acids by incubating in a vessel, in order to perform polymerization, a reaction mixture which contains in a suitable buffer solution one or several single-stranded target nucleic acids, suitable primers, deoxynucleoside triphosphates and a polymerase, whereafter the reaction mixture is transferred, by a procedure suitable in the given case, into another vessel for the denaturation of the nucleic acids, from which vessel, after denaturation, the reaction mixture is transferred back into the original vessel, by using a suitable procedure. The apparatus for performing this method includes one or several, preferably parallel, pairs of vessels. A vessel pair is made up of two vessels (1 and 2) which are interconnected or capable of being interconnected by means of one or several tubes (3). The apparatus may be provided with a separate heat exchanger (4) via which at least one of the tubes (3) passes, or a tube may as such serve as a heat exchanger. Each of the vessels is provided with a thermoregulator (11, 12), for example a heat block provided with a thermostat. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a fluid-transfer system (5-8, 10) for transferring the reaction fluid from one vessel to another. The vessel in which the polymerization occurs may be equipped with a suitable dosing device (9) for the adding of the polymerase and/or reagents. By using this apparatus it is possible fully automatically, without separate steps requiring an operator, to perform the amplification of nucleic acids on one or several samples simultaneously, under standardized reaction conditions.

Abstract: The largely automatic resetting of the brake linkage of brake devices, in particular of shoe brakes for railway vehicles, takes place usually by means of single-action or double-action linkage actuators at the start of the associated brake linkage chains. In the case of longer brake linkage chains, the resetting can no longer be compensated solely by the linkage actuator and the positions of the brake levers at the end of the chain can become so unfavourable that adequate functioning of the brake device is no longer ensured. So that additional manual resetting of the brake linkage can be largely dispensed with and the efficiency of the brake device improved, in a brake device of the generic type at least one further linkage actuator is arranged in series in the brake linkage chain behind a forward-mounted linkage actuator. The required resetting path for the linkage actuator which is respectively mounted downstream is determined by the control stop which is coupled relatively to the forward-mounted linkage actuator limit point. The control stop of the respectively forward-mounted linkage actuator is arranged so as to be longitudinally displaceable on the frame in relation to the linkage actuator and is connected to the linkage actuator which is arranged after it. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a combustion plant, fresh air (6) is drawn in via a blower (5), which acts outside the surround of the combustion plant, and mixed with a portion of flue gases (7) which are removed from combustion chamber (1). The resulting fresh air/flue gas mixture (8) flows through, on its way to the combustion chamber (1), a first heat exchanger (2a), the calorific preparation of which is brought about by the flue gases (7) supplied. In the combustion chamber (1) itself, this mixture flows through a heat exchanger (2) located there. Before the thus preheated mixture (9) is supplied to a burner (4) as combustion air, it undergoes, via a series of jet injectors (3), a further mixing with flue gases, which raises the temperature of this combustion air (10), with optimised flue-gas proportion.
