Abstract: A method is provided for the isolation of DNA and RNA from a biological sample, in
particular faeces, which comprises the step of rapidly mixing the sample with ice-cold
water prior to adding any other liquid agent. A suitable amount of water relative to the
amount of sample is about 50% v/v. Preferably, glass beads are added to promote
mixing. Further steps include adding a detergent and a chelating agent to the mixture,
such as SDS or Triton X-100 and EDTA, respectively, subjecting the mixture to a
nucleic acid extraction with phenol/chloroform/isoamylalcohol, incubating, optionally
chilling to form phenol needles, centrifuging and recovering the DNA and RNA from
the water phase. The method is particularly useful for diagnostic purposes, for
example the detection and diagnosis of human pathogens and mutated DNA in stool.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine (3) having a combustion
heater (17) is constructed to prevent a thermal damage to the
structure of an intake system (5) due to combustion heat
emitted from the combustion heater (17). The engine (3) includes
the combustion heater (17) operating at a cold time. Cooling
water is warmed by heat of combustion gas emitted from the
combustion heater when in combustion, thereby speeding up
a warm-up of the engine and enhancing a performance of a
car room heater (9) of a vehicle mounted with the engine. In
the thus constructed internal combustion engine (3) having the
combustion heater (17), fresh air entering an intake air
passageway of the engine is mixed with the combustion gas
of the combustion heater, whereby the fresh air becomes a
combustion gas mixed intake air toward an engine body. A
temperature of the combustion gas mixed intake air is
obtained, and a combustion state of the combustion heater (17)
is controlled based on this temperature.

Patent EP-1008843-A1 (EP)

IPC: G01N15/02
Filed: 1998-12-07
Abstract: A method for counting, by ranges of size, particles
(31) flowing through a particle sensor (10) including the
steps of flowing a particle through the sensor (10),
thereby producing a voltage pulse (61) which is sampled
over a period of time. Sampling yields a plurality of
voltage values which includes a latest value and a former
value. The latest value is compared with the former
value and when less than the former value, the method
finds, in a table of threshold voltages, the size range
for the particle (31). A counting bin corresponding to
the size range for the particle (31) is then incremented.
The former value may be the value immediately preceding
the latest value or it may be several "counts" prior to
such latest value. The new particle sensor (10) has an
inlet (23), sensing volume (29), exhaust port (25) and a
light collection system such as a mirror (39). The
sensor (10) also has an electronic system coupled to the
light collection system. The electronic system is
programmed to count particles (31), by size, in any of
several unique ways. Depending upon the embodiment, the
method and sensor (10) offer improved discrimination to
help avoid counting floaters, false peaks and the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spool (1) for thread-type or strip-type wound material in a
version for correct-sided insertion into a device, said spool on the one hand having a
substantially cylindrical tube-type or cylindrical double tube-type winding core (10)

winding area (W), and on the other hand being fittable inside the apparatus in a predetermined
operating position with its central mounting bore (12) arranged in the
winding core and rotatable about its central axis (13). To obtain a spool that has on
the one hand a simple and inexpensive structure and permits a simple, compact and
inexpensive configuration of the apparatus receiving the spool and on the other hand
is versatile in use, i.e. for wound materials of differing winding directions and
materials, while at the same time permitting safe and simple handling of the spools
with differing wound materials and ensuring the respectively predetermined operating
position of the spool inside the apparatus, at least one insertion direction/position
determining means (14; 15) at a distance radially from the mounting bore (12) is
arranged on the outside of at least on one of the flange disks (11) of the spool (1)
such that wrong-sided fitting of the spool (1) on a mounting journal (2) is
recognizable and an axial movement of the spool into its predetermined operating
position on the mounting journal is preventable when it has been fitted on the wrong
side.

Abstract: Light emitted from a light emitting device (17) is reflected
by a first reflection curved face (20) so that the travel direction
of the light is almost perpendicularly diffused, the light is
reflected by a reflection face (13d) circumferentially formed on an
end face of a rotor (13) in the direction parallel to an axial line (01,02),
and after that, the light is supplied to a stator (14) side along
a cylindrical part on the outer periphery of the rotor (13). In
a stator (14), light is condensed again in the axial direction by
a reflection face and, after that, the light is reflected by
a second reflection curved face (22) and is received by a photo
sensing device (18). In this instance, since the light passed
through whole slits (13c) on the end face of the rotor (13) and whole slits (14b)
in the peripheral part of the stator (14) is converged and then
detected by an FG (18), the signal level upon detection is increased,
the detection accuracy is improved at low cost.

Abstract: A method for creating an image of in situ biological tissue uses an
inhomogeneous field MRI device to pulse the tissue with sequential epochs of
excitation pulses. Each epoch of excitation pulses includes, in order, an
initial tilting pulse, an x-y encode and a train of refocussing pulses.
Specifically, each x-y encode has a K-space identifier of the form i(1..m) +
j(1..n), and the tilting pulses change sign according to whether the K-space
identifier (i+j) is odd or even. For an image having mxn pixels, nxn epochs
are used to generate nxn measurements of imageable spin echo signals.
These mxn measurements are then collated to create the image.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for organising the flow of goods for a stock consisting of heterogeneous units arranged closely on top of and beside one another in stacked standardised parallelepiped-shaped containers (1) which are joined into several co-ordinate-forming layers of containers in a vertical framework (6). With one or more computer-controlled lifting devices (5) with a gripping device (3) each individual container is lifted mechanically up and out of the stack for manual replenishment or a manual packing station (7). After dispatch the container (1) is returned to a new random, but continuously known position. The random and continuous alteration of location compels the statistically most frequently sold goods to be located in containers which have recently been returned to the upper layer of the stack, while those goods which statistically are seldom sold over a period of time will be located in containers in the lower layers of the stack.

Abstract: An object is to provide a die casting method and a
casting that is obtained through use of the die casting
method. The die casting method can solve problems such as
air catching occurring at the time of injection into the
cavity of a die and molten metal run defect, thereby
enabling efficient production of defect-free perfect
castings. Via a mouth piece 7 and a molten-metal feed port
4, molten metal from a molten metal feeder flows into a
casting sleeve 2 while undergoing laminar flow. When said
molten metal reaches a predetermined level, a plunger tip 5
is moved upward within the casting sleeve 2 and stops at a
position where the side surface of the plunger tip 5 closes
the molten-metal feed port 4. Said molten metal that has
flowed into the casting sleeve 2 is cooled by a cooling
medium flowing through passages 2b formed within the casting
sleeve 2 so that said molten metal forms primary crystals.
Simultaneously, through use of a high frequency coil 6, said
molten metal is subjected to electromagnetic agitation. As
a result, said molten metal is fluidized and soaked. At
this time, the temperature of said molten metal is detected
by a sensor. When it is judged that the solid phase ratio
has reached an arbitrary value in the range of 10 - 60%, the
plunger tip 5 is moved upward in order to inject the semi-solidified
molten metal into the cavity of a die 1.
