Patent EP-0141547-B1 (EP)
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 1984-10-09
Granted: 1990-01-03
Abstract: A method and assembly provided for the detection and determination of at least one ligand in a sample suspected of containing the ligand. The method includes providing in a hand-held assembly having a first chamber and a second chamber separated by a separation means which permits the passage therethrough of materials of a relatively small size while preventing the passage therethrough of materials of a relatively larger size; a suspension in the first chamber of an admixture of a binding partner for the ligand and a labeled component. The labeled component is selected from the group consisting of binding partner, compound which can bind to the binding partner, compound which can bind to the reaction product of the ligand and binding partner, and compound which can bind to the ligand. The sample suspected of containing the ligand is introduced to the first chamber. The mixture is incubated for a time sufficient to form a reaction mixture containing free labeled component and a complex of the labeled component, binding partner and ligand. The free labeled component is separated from the complex by creating a pressure differential across the separation medium whereby the relatively larger size complex remains in the first chamber while the relatively smaller size free labeled component passes to the second chamber. The presence of either the labeled component present in the complex in the first chamber or the free labeled component in the second chamber is determined. The determination of such labeled component in either chamber provides a measure of the presence and quantity of the ligand in the sample.

IPC: A01G13/00
Filed: 1984-11-09
Granted: 1990-11-07
Abstract: In urban areas, the trees are subjected to extreme stresses since the surrounding solid ground covering (paving stone or asphalt), which leads to a compression of the sealed-off soil, extends almost up to the tree trunk. There remains only a small, non-sealed zone as a nutrient take-up area. According to the invention, the take-up area is extended to the sealed-off zone in a novel manner, by means of the solid ground covering being made up of tree ventilation plates which consist of an open-pore, water-storing material which is bound in a binding agent as additive. Under the tree ventilation plates there is a layer of lava and, underneath this, a layer of a substrate. The tree ventilation plates can be used as areas for parking vehicles, and at the same time they guarantee an adequate ventilation of and supply of nutrients to the tree. By means of openings in the tree ventilation plates, which openings are filled with granules of open-pore lava, a "biological connection" to the substrate situated under the tree ventilation plates is produced. <IMAGE>

Title: Preparation of ortho-aminobenzotrifluoride
IPC: C07C205/12
Filed: 1984-09-04
Granted: 1987-03-25
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of ortho-aminobenzotrifluoride (OABT) from benzotrifluoride (BTF). The process provides an overall route employing non- isolation of intermediates which can be run smoothly and which results in the preparation of OABT in high yields with less contamination. This process includes a catalytic halogenation step in which BTF is converted to meta-halo BTF and other mono and di-halo isomers of BTF followed by nitration in the same reaction vessel under conditions which do not favor nitration of the di-halo isomers of BTF to produce a mixture which predominates in 5-halo-2-nitro BTF. In the final step the 5-halo-2-nitro BTF present is reduced and hy- drodehalogenated with H, in the presence of a catalyst to form OABT. Recyclable BTF is also obtained from the final reaction.

Abstract: A test system (10) uses the four square principle for loading front wheel drive hubs (161) of automobiles under torque, and provides the necessary loads on the front wheel drive unit for adequate testing. The unit under test may be subjected to "steering" loads, and to torque through load and drive frame assemblies (20, 21); to axial loads using a frame (194, 201) and actuator (220); and to "jounce" through a frame (50) and actuator (52) which simulates vertical loads on front wheel drives of automobiles caused by road irregularities, holes or other obstacles. The present device permits application of all of these loads into four separate front-wheel drive-steering hubs (161) for efficient testing. The mechanical configuration insures the ability to precisely control the loads in the various modes of operation.

Abstract: A galvano-plastically produced graduation carrier comprising fine perforations located within a perforation zone wherein stability enhancement regions in the form of prominences and depressions in the embodiment are located outside the perforation zone. The stability enhancement regions enhance the ability of the graduation carrier to be self-supporting. The area of the graduation carrier within the perforation zone can therefore be made thinner than other areas of the graduation carrier. This provides a graduation carrier which not only has improved edge sharpness and fineness of the perforations but also a high bending rigidity and improved handleability.

Title: Fire and explosion protection system
IPC: G08B17/12
Filed: 1985-03-15
Granted: 1989-12-20
Abstract: The system discrimates between radiation produced by a hydrocarbon fire in an armored vehicle and radiation produced by the explosion of an armor-piercing ammunition round itself which does not cause a hydrocarbon fire. A radiation detector (10) sensitive to radiation, characteristic of a hydrocarbon fire, produces logic outputs if the radiation intensity exceeds a predetermined relatively low threshold (20) and is rising at at least a predetermined rate of rise (22). A detector (12) operating at 0.9 microns, at which the exploding ammunition round produces significant radiation, produces logic outputs if the radiation intensity exceeds a predetermined relatively low threshold (40) and if it is not falling at more than a predetermined rate (44). All these logic outputs are fed into a coincidence gate (28) whose output feeds a circuit (80) which produces an output only when the coincidence gate (28) produces an output for at least a predetermined period of time. A third radiation detector (14) in combination with the detector (12) and units (46) and (60), measures the colour temperature of the source being monitored, and inhibits the coincidence gate (28) if the colour temperature exceeds a predetermined value. This prevents the system reacting merely to muzzle flash from a gun. However, any such inhibition is permitted by a monostable (54) to last only for a predetermined period of time, so that the system can still detect a fire in the presence of high colour temperature sunlight. A medium threshold unit (48) is provided to produce an inhibit signal for a relatively short period of time if the output of the detector (12) exceeds a medium-level threshold. This primarily prevents the coincidence gate (28) from reacting to relatively prolonged signals from an indirectly viewed ammunition round and its hot fragments.

Abstract: Un système de distribution de médicaments ciblés présente une spécificité pour les récepteurs hépatobiliaires, qui sont les cellules métaboliques spécialisées du foie. On parlera ici des vésicules dirigées sur l'hépatocyte ou, en abréviation, HDV. Ledit système de distribution dirigé préféré utilise un lipide bipolaire pour la majeure partie de la structure membranaire de sa vésicule. Le matériau de ciblage, qui n'est qu'un constituant mineur du système de la vésicule ciblée, présente une spécificité pour les récepteurs hépatobiliaires du foie. La vésicule dirigée sur l'hépatocyte est ensuite attirée vers le récepteur et libère son contenu pharmacologique. Il faut noter que la fixation du matériau de ciblage, ou de la molécule, à la vésicule est de préférence effectuée d'abord par une molécule connectrice, dont une partie est insérée dans la paroi de la vésicule, en raison de ses propriétés lipophiles, et dont une partie hydrophile forme une projection s'étendant depuis la paroi de la vésicule. Les molécules cible et connectrice sont liées l'une à l'autre afin d'étendre ou de projetter la molécule cible sur une certaine distance à partir de la paroi de la vésicule. Toute molécule chimique capable de circuler dans le sang d'un animal à sang chaud et d'être attirée vers le récepteur hépatobiliaire peut servir de substance cible dans la présente invention.
