Abstract: A leg structure 10 has a longitudinally extending array of discrete plastics moulded segments 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 & 24 of aesthetic design, wherein each segment (e.g. 14) has two opposed and parallel flat faces 68 & 70 for parallel alignment with the faces 60 & 76 of adjacent segments. Disposed between adjacent segments are connecting collars 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 & 38 which frictionally receive spigots 62, 68, 66, 72, 74, 76 & 78 extending from the adjacent flat faces of the segments, restraining the segments from lateral displacement relative to one another. A bolt 40 extends longitudinally through the segments and the connecting collars to receive a locking nut 48, which nut 48 is tightened to compress the segments and connecting collars together and restrain them from relative longitudinal displacement. 
     A method of manufacturing a leg structure 10 is described.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing fuel gases, in particular for a fuel cell (12), includes primary (8) and secondary catalytic oxidation means for the oxidation of carbon monoxide in a reformed fuel gas flow. Small quantities of oxygen required for the secondary oxidation are provided by passing the oxygen through a first oxygen permeable membrane (22). The oxygen may be supplied as air, pure oxygen or an oxygenated solution. An oxygen fuel supply to the fuel cell may additionally be humidified by allowing water to pass from a water flow across a further membrane (21) into the oxygen supply. Oxygen passing across the further membrane (21) in the opposite sense to the water may serve to oxygenate the water for supplying to the first membrane (22).

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus for reading a recording signal including both of an analog information signal and a digital information signal recorded on a recording medium (1) from the recording medium and for individually reproducing each of the information signals. In the re-reading operation to correctly reproduce the digital information signal, analog sub-information signal of the contents different from those of the analog information signal reproduced by the reading operation at the first time is generated. By this operation, a situation such that the same information is continuously reproduced and generated at the time of the re-reading operation is prevented, so that a fact that the apparatus is normally operating can be recognized by the user.

Abstract: In a first embodiment, a liquid hydrophobic phase comprising a core material and polyisocyanate at least partially soluble therein is emulsified with an aqueous continuous phase including a polyhydroxylated colloidal stabilizer to form a suspension of microdroplets of the hydrophobic phase. A polyamine such as diethylenetriamine reactive with the polyisocyanate and a catalytic amount of an alkaline base are then added, initiating an interfacial polyaddition reaction at alkaline pH which forms the polyurea microcapsules. The second embodiment is similar to the first, except that the alkaline base is added along with a surfactant having multiple S-containing substituent groups. Also, the colloidal stabilizer may be non-polyhydroxylated, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone.

IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1993-02-10
Abstract: Un dosage de détermination de la présence d'une concentration seuil d'un analyte dans un échantillon consiste premièrement à faire réagir ledit échantillon avec une dose d'un anti-analyte sélectionné pour réduire l'analyte libre à une concentration détectable de façon marginale. On met ensuite l'échantillon en contact avec un anti-analyte immobilisé sur une région test ou une zone à indicateur sur une phase solide, de manière que l'analyte libre résiduel peut être fixé. La fixation de l'analyte libre à l'anti-analyte immobilisé est détectée selon diverses techniques indiquant la présence de la concentration de seuil. Du fait de l'utilisation de doses limitées d'anti-analyte sur la phase solide, le changement entre la fixation maximum de marque et aucune fixation de marque est sensible à de très faibles changements se produisant dans la concentration d'analyte présent initialement dans l'échantillon.

Abstract: A method of delivering messages between application programs is provided which ensures that no messages are lost and none are delivered more than once. The method uses asynchronous message queuing. One ore more queue manager programs (100) is located at each computer of a network for controlling the transmission of messages to and from that computer. Messages to be transmitted to a different queue manager are put onto special transmission queues (120). Transmission to an adjacent queue manager comprises a sending process (130) on the local queue manager (100) getting messages from a transmission queue and sending them as a batch of messages within a syncpoint-manager-controlled unit of work. A receiving process (150) on the receiving queue manager receives the messages and puts them within a second syncpoint-manager-controlled unit of work to queues (180) that are under the control of the receiving queue manager. Commitment of the batch is coordinated by the sender transmitting a request for commitment and for confirmation of commitment with the last message of the batch, commit at the sender then being triggered by the confirmation that is sent by the receiver in response to the request. The invention avoids the additional message flow that is a feature of two-phase commit procedures, avoiding the need for resource managers to synchronise with each other. It further reduces the commit flows by permitting batching of a number of messages.
