Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the examination of cells ( 20, 38 ) in a culture medium, in particular for in-situ microscopy in a bio-reactor, whereby cells in a sample volume, the depth (d) of which is defined by windows ( 14, 16 ) in the direction of the optical axis of the microscope ( 18 ), are microscopically imaged and are automatically recorded and processed by means of an image processing system ( 30 ). Said method is characterized in that the depth (d) of the sample volume ( 12 ) is adjusted to the size of the cells ( 20, 38 ) by successively reducing the separation (d) of the windows while the image size (G) of the cells is simultaneously verified by the image processing system ( 30 ) such that a separation value (D) is determined at which the image size (G) of the cells begins to grow, thus corresponding to flattening caused by the contact pressure of the windows ( 14, 16 ), and that the separation (d) of the windows ( 14, 16 ) is set to said separation value (D) for the examination.

Abstract: Measurement and operating circuit for a Coriolis mass-flowmeter. The meter comprises a measurement pipe and first and second vibration sensors each with an amplifier and two analogue to digital converters. The first is to produce a first vibration signal (S1), while the second is connected to produce a difference signal from the outputs of the two sensors. A digital processor analyses the signals and determines only the difference and first vibration sensor signals. After determination of the first sensor signal amplitude, the in-phase component and the quadrate component of the difference signal relative to the first sensor signal are determined; the amplifiers are then regulated to get rid off the in- phase component of the difference signal and the resulting quadrate component is used to determine mass flow.

Abstract: The invention comprises a belt installation tool for installing a flexible belt on a pulley. On one side, the radius of the tool is substantially equivalent to the radius of a pulley flange. The bearing surface on this side of the tool stretches the belt and guides the belt onto the pulley. To avoid damaging the belt, the radius of the tool and the pulley flange should be substantially equal over a substantial length of the pulley. Centric to this radius, a hole is provided to accommodate a single-end socket that projects through the tool. The socket engages a crankshaft bolt, hence, the belt installation tool is centered on the pulley along the socket centerline. The tool and pulley are then turned with a ratchet attached to the socket. The tool comprises a belt bearing surface having a variable radius that allows a belt to be stretched to a proper radius without abrupt radius changes, which could damage a belt. The belt is moved axially from the tool into the pulley grooves by a leaderblock, which is provided at the tool radius on the bearing surface adjacent to the pulley grooves. By turning the tool about the crankshaft the leaderblock guides the belt flank, causing it to move into a pulley groove. The leaderblock comprises a lip to further hold the tool on a pulley rim.

Abstract: A proxy switch, communication methods, and communication logic for use in a mobile network are described. A proxy switch is deployed between a base station subsystem and a mobile station center. It receives signaling messages and either retransmits them, blocks them, converts them, or siphons them to an alternative network. Besides providing an ability to offload offload mobile traffic it provides a platform for new communication services. A mobile communications network has at least one BS, at least one MS, at least one MSC, and at least one switch in communication with at least one of the BSs and the at least one of the MSCs. A BS is in trunk line communication with the switch and the trunk line communication is organized as bearer circuits, each bearer circuit identifiable with a circuit identification code (CIC). The switch receives signaling messages from the BS and determines if a call corresponding to the signaling message is to be handled by the alternative communication network. If so, the switch assigns a CIC for a bearer circuit for the call and communicates the CIC to the BS. Thereafter, the switch receives information on the CIC-identified bearer circuit and forwards the received information to the alternative network.

Abstract: A method and a pig feeder is described for mixing metered amounts of liquid and dry feed. Both are caused to migrate in a downward direction over a mixing region to a feeding region of a feeding trough. The liquid and dry feed are both dispensed from above the mixing region so as to fall onto the mixing region in a generally downward manner, and are delivered onto the mixing region in a predetermined dispersal pattern. The liquid is delivered on to the mixing region in a similar pattern, typically by means of a spray nozzle. The delivery of feed and water is animal activated, and the animal activation is inhibited at intervals so that the feeding cycle of the animals is controlled. To this end the intervals between inhibition and/or the duration of each inhibition is adjustable. The level of feed in the trough is sensed to prevent build up of uneated mixed feed in the trough.

Abstract: A multilayer test strip that measures concentrations of multiple analytes from a single whole blood sample. The test strip includes a test matrix of several layers held together in constant contact by a test strip holder. The invention is characterized in that it has no moving parts, which is made possible by the novel use of an elongate disbursement layer that spreads blood throughout its entire length, despite having layers with known wicking properties adjacent to and in contact with it. Since the invention relies primarily on a vertical flow format, the test strip is advantageously quite compact. With a single 30-50 microliter sample of blood applied thereto, the novel test strip can provide readings of total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. From these, LDL can be calculated, thereby providing a full "lipid panel." Other analytes such as glucose and ketones may be included in the test strip in addition to or in lieu of one or more of the other analytes.
