Abstract: Device for transferring test strips (T) having detectably different sides and ends to an analyser, comprising a collecting chamber for receiving a loose bundle of test strips (T) with identical ends pointing in the same direction, a separator which feeds the test strips (T) separately to a slide which can be moved to and fro between a receiving position and delivery position, and a manipulator which is controlled by a detector and which ensures that, in the delivery position, all the test strips (T) lie on the slide with the same sides upwards, characterised in that the separator has a chute which debouches above the receiving position and from which the test strips (T) are separately fed with a long edge downwards to a deflector which is controlled by the detector and which removes the test strips (T) with identical sides upwards.

Abstract: A collet sleeve (3) axially displaceable in a collet housing (1) surrounds a collet body (6) which is axially supported on an end cap (8) which has a collar (10) overlapping the collet housing (1) and having lugs (11) which project radially inwards and catch with axial clearance (13) of the end cap (8) in an annular groove (12) in the wall of the collet housing (1). At least one of the lugs (11) has a projection (14) which protrudes axially towards the end cap (8) and which, under spring force (18) acting on the end cap (8), engages in recesses (15) on the collet housing (1) with a depth corresponding to not more than the axial clearance (13). The wall of the collet housing (1), starting axially from the margin (9), has passages (16) leading out in an annular groove (12), through which passages (16) the lugs (11) can enter or leave the annular groove (12). The passages (16) and the recesses (15) form with the lugs (11) a bayonet lock which secures the end cap (8) in its closed position even when the collet is open. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An air passage or outlet for imparting a spin flow to air passing therethrough, is economically produced of only two basic sheet metal components. The sheet metal has a good fire resistance capability and can be easily coated with an individual paint color. One sheet metal component is a sheet metal plate (4) with punched-out tongue-shaped air guide vanes (2) that are arranged at a spacing concentrically around a central axis perpendicular to the plane of the plate (4). A central hub area (3) remains connected to an outer area of plate (4) by spoke-type lands separating the air flow holes. The other sheet metal component of the air passage is a connector piece (5) having, e.g., a cylindrical neck (6) surrounded at its lower end by a collar (7). The inner diameter of the connector piece (5) is so dimensioned that radially outer edges of the guide vanes (2) are held in place by a press-fit against the inner sides of the cylindrical neck of the connector piece (5). The side of the sheet metal plate (4) facing the connector piece (5) bears rigidly against the edge of the neck (6) of the connector piece (5) when the two components are connected to each other.

Abstract: An intelligent computer integrated maintenance system and method may be used with a group of machines which require maintenance, known as a "complex", such as a group of production lines each of which includes many production machines for producing a product. The intelligent computer integrated maintenance system includes an electronically stored parts manual which contains a hierarchical listing of all parts in the production machines. The hierarchical listing contains a complete bill of materials which breaks each machine into subassemblies and breaks each subassembly into its subassemblies down to the level of individual parts. The intelligent computer integrated maintenance system also includes a maintenance operations computer controller which includes a maintenance schedule management subsystem, an engineering change control subsystem, a parts manual management subsystem and a spares inventory management subsystem. The maintenance schedule management subsystem obtains a schedule of actual and planned production system and groups maintenance activities in order to minimize the lost production time for each complex. For example, maintenance is scheduled for off-line times for each complex if possible. Alternatively, if a number of maintenance tasks are scheduled for a short time interval, they may be grouped together so that they can be performed simultaneously. 
     The engineering change control subsystem integrates engineering change activities with maintenance activities to maximize production time. The automated parts manual is also updated to account for engineering change controls. The spare parts inventory management subsystem orders spare parts based on predicted maintenance rather than on prescribed inventory levels. Just-in-time parts ordering is thereby facilitated. 
     The computer integrated maintenance system and method of the present invention allows maintenance operations to be integrated into the complexes primary activity, such as production, in an intelligent manner. When used, production efficiency is maximized as is the use of available maintenance manpower. Engineering changes are easily accommodated and spare parts inventory is kept to a minimum.

Abstract: Solution inks have been discovered that have an acceptable red fluorescent signal for machine detection while emitting a different visual color in white light. The formulation is based on a combination of a fluorescent dyes and a non red dye belonging to the spectral sensitizer class of dyes. The red fluorescent dye and non-red dye are combined in a resin to form a toner. Because of a bathochronic shift, fluorescence at higher wave lengths is achieved. Upon dissolving the toner in a polar solvent, increased viscosity is achieved which results in an enhanced fluorescent signal as compared to prior fluorescent inks.
