Abstract: A method and system for automatically analyzing the presence of an analyte in a liquid specimen of biological origin are described. The liquid specimen is added to a testing substrate that has a receptor immobilized on a portion of its surface. If analyte is present in the specimen, it will specifically bind to the receptor. A labeled reagent is added to the testing substrate which will bind to the analyte, if present, and generate a color on the testing substrate. The testing substrate is then illuminated and, using electronic equipment, a digital image of its surface is acquired and automatically scanned to locate an area that has the highest color density, which corresponds to the presence of labeled reagent. A measurement of color density, corresponding to pixels per unit area, is generated. An area peripheral to the area of highest color density, which represents background density, is also located and a measured. The presence or absence of analyte in the liquid sample is determined by adjusting the measurement of labeled reagent with the background density measurement in accordance with a predefined mathematical function. In some cases, the result of the test will be interpreted as a binary, positive/negative result according to whether the measurement taken is above or below a given threshold. In other cases, a continuous range of values may be generated from different samples that correspond to the concentration of the analyte present in each tested sample.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the product produced by inactivating exracellular or intracellular pathogenic virus in a biological composition without incurring substantial disruption or inactivation of cells and without significant loss of labile proteins or other valuable biological components also contained therein, the inactivation process comprising subjecting said composition to a virucidally effective amount of irradiation in the presence of (a) a mixture of a compound that quenches type (I) photodynamic reactions and a compound that quenches type (II) photodynatic reactions of (b) a bifunctional compound that is capable of quenching both type (I) and type (II) reactions, to thereby inactivate said virus while retaining functionality of said composition. The composition is advantageously subjected to the irradiation and the mixture of compounds or bifunctional compound in the presence of an irradiation sensitizer. Moreover, the process can be advantageously combined with a different virucidal method to enhance virus inactivation.

Abstract: The at least two support columns each comprise an inner tube telescopically moving in an outer tube. An electric gear motor with lift spindle is provided on each column for the lift movement of the inner tube and incline of the table top. A mechanically rigid connection (4) is provided between the two gear motors so that the parts to be moved by the motors move in synchronization. The fixed connection can be a shaft (4) connected in keyed engagement with the two inner tubes so that the lateral movements of these inner tubes causes rotation of the shaft. The fixed connection could be the tabletop itself whereby the rotational movement of the support arm on one motor produces similar rotation of the support arm on the other motor. The rotation of the shaft can act on a spring (3) so that this is tensioned when the tabletop lowers and relaxes when the table top rises. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for operating a worm centrifuge for sepg. liq.-solid mixts. in light (liq.) and heavy (solid) materials, consists of a cylindrical centrifuge drum with a conical drum end, which can be rotated about its longitudinal axis. The drum wall surrounds an advancing worm and has an outlet for the sepd. material. The radial spacing of the outlet opening from the drum axis is less than the spacing of the drum wall from the axis. The rotational speeds of the centrifuge drum and the advancing worm are almost the same when the unit is turned off, and heavy materials remain in the unit. When the unit is started up, the rotational speeds are the same. The worm speed is adjusted once the min. drum speed is reached.

Date Sep. 28, 1995A toe piece for a ski safety binding includes a jaw having two lateral arms. The lateral arms pivot about a pin. The return and holding forces during the elastic travel are proportional to the triggering threshold. The useful elastic travel is independent of the triggering threshold. A lateral arm of a jaw exerts a moment on a lever which pivots. The lever is connected at one end to a spring. The triggering threshold is adjusted by altering the ratio of the distances between, on the one hand, the pivot of the lever and the point of contact between the spring and the lever and, on the other hand, the pivot of the lever and the point of contact between the jaw and the lever. The jaw acts on the lever through a movable part which is moved to adjust the triggering threshold.

Abstract: Methods are provided for conducting specific binding assays to determine the concentration or presence of at least one analyte in a sample. Dendrimer-reagent preparations with particular analyte specificities are mixed in solution with a sample to form dendrimer-reagent-sample complexes. The complexes are then immobilized on a solid phase. Immobilization is facilitated by coupling specific binding assay reagents such as polypeptide receptors or analytes with water soluble polymers. Such water soluble polymers, for example star polymers such as dendrimers, provide production advantages of lot-to-lot uniformity and homogeneity, and can enhance sensitivity due to low non-specific binding to the solid phase.

Abstract: Injection unit with which several injections can be given, for e.g. pernicious anaemia, has a housing (15) in which a container (12) is axially displaceable in a holder (17) between end positions. A plunger (14) acts on a piston (23) and expels fluid from the container. A latching arrangement (27) under spring load engages in a tooth gap of the plunger and is surrounded by a drive tube (35). By movement of the plunger in the distal direction, i.e. away from the patient, a unidirectional forced connection is made between the plunger and the container for movement in this direction. With movement in the proximal direction, i.e. towards the patient, the plunger moves the container only up to its end position, then expels fluid.
