Abstract: The invention provides exemplary systems, methods, and apparatus for distinctly allocating liquids containing chemical compositions or compounds to known locations in an organized manner so that assays may be performed on the compositions, or so that the chemical compositions may be combined with other distinct chemical compositions or reagents prior to evaluation. In one exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a fluid transfer system which comprises a donor member having a plurality of separate regions. At least some of the regions contain at least one chemical composition, with each chemical composition being distinct from any other chemical composition in the donor member. An acceptor member is also provided and includes a plurality of defined locations which are each adapted to receive a liquid medium. A transfer mechanism is provided to systematically transfer at least some of the chemical compositions from the donor member regions to at least some of the acceptor member locations such that the locale of each transferred chemical composition within the acceptor member is known. Further, each of the acceptor member locations has a volume that is less than about 500  mu l. In this way, a large number of acceptor member locations may be provided within a single system to efficiently transfer, in parallel fashion, large numbers of chemical compositions from the donor member to the acceptor member where evaluation or further processing of the chemical compositions may proceed.

Abstract: Motor pump unit in which the pump comprises a first rotating or orbiting displacement element, which performs a relative movement in relation to a second displacement element. The motor is an electric motor driving the pump directly by means of a common shaft, which extends through a common flange containing the bearing of the shaft, the common flange forming the basis of connection of the motor and the pump. This enables a compact construction of the motor pump unit, demanding no means for connection of motor and pump. The efficiency of the motor pump unit is thus increased. The weight of the motor pump unit can become so low that the unit will be particularly suited for fitting in a portable high pressure cleaner. The motor pump unit can also be used as fuel pump in an oil burner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for admission control in an interference-limited cellular radio network. Admission can be accepted, if there is a sufficient number of free channels whose measured interference level goes below the interference threshold determined for the channel. The interference threshold of the channel is changed adaptively to ensure the best possible quality of the service offered. In case the quality value of the served radio connections is too low, the interference threshold value of the channel is lowered. In case the quality value of the served radio connections is very good, the interference threshold value of the channel is raised.

IPC: B60T8/18
Filed: 1998-01-26
Abstract: A control unit includes several magnet and air piloted valves, a
transducer, a transmitter, a pressure switch and a pipe network.
Controlled by a central controller, the apply and release valves
allow a first trainline to charge a pipe network or vent to
atmosphere whereas the emergency release valve can vent a second
trainline to atmosphere. The transfer valve connects the first
trainline to a command port of the control unit unless its pilot
port receives an emergency braking request in which case it connects
the pipe network to the command port. The transducer converts
pressure in the first trainline to an electrical signal. The
transmitter conveys this signal to a control bus. The pressure
switch closes if the second trainline charges to a preset pressure.
Upon closure of the pressure switch and a command from the
controller, the charging valve allows the pipe network to charge the
second trainline to a threshold level. The maintaining valve
permits the pipe network to charge the second trainline unless
pressure at its pilot port falls below the threshold. The
regulating valve regulates air from a primary port of the control
unit for use in the pipe network. The pipe network allows the apply
valve, the first trainline and the regulating valve to supply air to
the transfer valve, charging valve, maintaining valve and a master
port of the control unit. When pressure in the second trainline
drops faster than a predetermined rate, the vent valve vents the
second trainline to atmosphere.

Abstract: The detection and identification system (1) for items (2), includes at least a metallic part, passing along a set path (3) and includes a device (4) for generating or transmitting a signal emanating from a magnetic field with a pre-determined frequency. A corresponding device (5) is used for complex analysis of a received signal, of the same frequency, caused by the magnetic field induced and modified in the metal of the items during passage of these items. Another device (6) measures and records a phase difference (DPm) between the transmitted signal and the signal received during passage of the item (Ex). In addition the system has a recording and storing device (7) for data relative to a correlation or correspondence table between the nature of the item (Ei) and the corresponding phase difference or phase shift (DPi). A comparator (8) compares the measured phase shift (DPm) to the values of phase shift contained in the correspondence table between the phase shift (DPi) and the item (Ei) so as to provides means to identify that the item (Ex) is a package (Ei). A sorting system (9) identifies a preceding package (Ej), the nature of the package being defined by the type and thickness of the metal. The amplitude of the magnetic field induced when the package travels a distance (L) is measured, so as to produce a curve (Cj) of maximum amplitude (Aj) for a package (Ej). These curves and the maximum amplitude values are stored in registers (7) to be used as complementary identification means after processing by the comparator.

Abstract: A tampon (8), in particular for use by women suffering from urinary incontinence, is made of a skin-compatible, elastic material, which in the wet state can be compressed against a restoring force, in particular a plastic foam such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Such tampons exercise a pressure on the urethra (11) when they are inserted into the vagina and prevent involuntary urine losses. A non-insulated, electroconductive electrode (9) is enclosed in the material of the tampon (8) and connected to an insulated connection cable (3) which extends out of the material of the tampon (8). This enables the tampon (8) to be used not only to effectively prevent incontinence but also in therapeutic processes such as electrostimulation therapy or iontophoresis, and in measurement processes such as electromyography.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé permettant d'évaluer la quantité de précipité d'identification de marqueur dans un spécimen cellulaire sur une lame de microscope. Le système de microscope automatisé permet d'effectuer un balayage à faible grossissement et à fort grossissement d'un spécimen cellulaire, en vue d'identifier et de confirmer la présence d'objets candidats intéressants qui correspondent à des cellules contenant un précipité d'identification de marqueur. On utilise une zone de forme régulière centrée autour d'un centre calculé pour un objet candidat intéressant afin de définir les pixels à traiter. Un indice de coloration est calculé pour chaque pixel (204), et les indices de coloration qui indiquent une prédominance de la couleur correspondant au précipité identifié par le marqueur sont additionnés (210) et normalisés (214). L'indice de coloration normalisé est comparé à au moins un seuil préétabli afin d'attribuer un degré à des objets candidats intéressants (220). Les degrés d'un nombre préétabli d'objets candidats intéressants sont additionnés (224) pour former un indice cumulatif, puis l'indice cumulatif est comparé à un seuil. Si l'indice cumulatif est supérieur à un seuil, l'objet candidat intéressant est déterminé comme indiquant un état médical associé typiquement au marqueur.
