Patent CA-2674642-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAVN HELLE WEBER
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2008-01-07
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of testing whether a living organism has been exposed to stress, such as pesticide exposure, e.g. whether weed crops has been exposed to herbicide. Based on non-separated compounds obtained from an organism e.g. an extract from a plant, a colour development is generated. The colour or shade developed is dependent on the compounds of the organism. By comparing the colour or shade of the extract obtained from an organism with a standard colour scale developed in respect of the same organism, it is possible to determine the final effect of the stress upon the growth of the plant. The invention also concerns a method of providing a standard colour scale for material from a living organism that has been exposed to stress e.g. to a pesticide. An assay kit for the determination of the final effect of the stress upon the growth of the plant is also described. The present invention may be used by farmers or advisors to predict the final effect of herbicide treatments of plants before visual signs appear on the plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for latching of horizontal coke oven chambers which is triggered by an auxiliary frame located on the coke oven chamber door. The auxiliary frame is restrictively movable in vertical direction on the coke oven chamber door. During the outward movement, the auxiliary frame hits upwardly against limit stop cams firmly mounted on the oven door and transmitting the vertical traction force onto the coke oven chamber door.  During the upward movement, the auxiliary frame actuates levers which are rotationally movable to an axis arranged orthogonally to the coke oven chamber and which are connected to a translatorily freely movable latch. On actuation of this lever, it pulls the latch from the latch take-up bearings mounted on the coke oven chamber door so that the coke oven chamber door is unlatched and opened. In an embodiment of the present invention, the coke oven chamber door can be arrested in the open or closed position with a device suitable for this purpose.
