Abstract: The simultaneous synthesis of diverse organic compounds is performed in stackable modules which are moveable among nesting sites located on work station platforms. The reactor module includes a block (A) adapted to receive an array of tube-like reactor vessels (10). The vessels (10) are sized to optionally accept porus polyethelyene mircocannisters with radio frequency transmitter tags. Each vessel has a bottom port connected to an outlet tube. A valve block (C) located below the reactor vessels (10) simultaneously controls discharge through the outlet tubes. The valve block (C) includes plates (39,40) with aligned, relatively moveable sets of rib surfaces which act through Teflon encapsulated silicone o-ring cord sections to simultaneously close rows of outlet tubes. By first utilizing reactor vessels in one set of 48 positions, out of the possible 52 reactor vessels positions in the reactor block (A), and then utilizing reactor vessels in the other set of 48 positions and shifting the relative position of the collection plate, a single reactor can be employed to discharge into all of the wells of a standard 96 well microtiter collection plate. The apparatus can be used to perform the entire synthesis or only the final cleavage step of a radio frequency tagged synthesis.

Abstract: The hydraulic or pneumatic drive for lifting and lowering loads, in particular for lifts, has a working cylinder (11) forming a pressure chamber (14) connected to a pressure fluid source (39) and subjected to a pressure fluid. It also has a lifting piston (1) tightly guided in the working cylinder and a guide rod (15) arranged in the working cylinder. The guide rod (15) projects into the interior of the lifting piston (1) which tightly encloses the guide rod (15). The end (4) of the lifting piston (1) which projects into the pressure chamber (14) forms an annular face (5) which is subjected to pressure fluid. The interior of the lifting piston (1) forms an additional pressure chamber (7) subjected to pressure fluid and which is connected to its own pressure fluid source (40). The pressure fluid source connected to the working cylinder (11) delivers pressure fluid at a substantially constant pressure, whereas the pressure fluid source (40) connected to the additional pressure chamber (7) delivers pressure fluid at a variable pressure. The additional pressure chamber (7), subjected to pressure fluid, subdivides the total force needed to lift a load into two partial forces, one of which acts upon the annular face and the other in the interior of the lifting piston, close under the load. In this way, the partial force acting upon the entire length of the lifting piston and subjecting the piston to buckling is substantially reduced. It is thus possible to reduce the amount of material required without affecting buckling resistance.

Abstract: What the method assures is that natural changes in the signature of a person are not reflected in the form of increasing rejections within the framework of an authentification of this person on the basis of the person's signature. "Natural" variation in the signature of the person is adapted to a reference signature, whereby an appropriate "distance" from a possible forged signature is adhered to so that adaptation is not undertaken in the direction of a potential forger. To that end, the signature is evaluated dependent on its distance from the reference signature and this evaluation criterion is divided into ranges that reflect the quality of the signature. Proceeding from the quality, an evaluation is possible as to whether or not an adaptation is implemented.

Abstract: A position detector is provided for detecting the relative movement of first and second members which are mounted for relative movement along a measuring path. One of the members comprises a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field and the other member comprises first and second conductors which are inductively coupled to said magnetic field generator. The arrangement of the first and second conductors and the magnetic field generator is such that the output signals are generated in a first and second receive circuits whose position varies with the relative movement between the two members. In addition to carrying information relating to the relative position between the two members, the signals induced in the receive circuits also comprise information defining the relative orientation of the two movable members, and by suitable processing of the received signals the relative orientation of the two members can also be determined. In a preferred form of the invention, the system operates to define the relative position and orientation of the two movable members in first and second directions from which the relative orientation of the two members in a plane containing the two directions can be determined. The signals induced in the receive circuits can also be processed to give an indication of the gap between the two circuits and to provide an indication of the full relative orientation of the two members.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel nucleic acid molecules encoding a Rhesus D antigen contributing to the weak D phenotype which are characterized by one or a combination of missense mutations or by a gene conversion involving exons 6 to 9 of the RHD and RHCE genes. The present invention further relates to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecules of the invention, to hosts transformed with said vectors, to proteins encoded by said nucleic acid molecules and to methods of producing such polypeptides. The fact that missense mutations and the conversion referred to above can be directly correlated to the weak D phenotype has a significant impact on the routine testing of blood samples. For example, oligonucleotides and antibodies can now be designed that generally allow the detection of weak D phenotypes in a sample. Such oligonucleotides, antibodies as well as a variety of diagnostic methods all fall within the scope of the present invention. RhD antigens encoded by the novel nucleic acid molecules may be used for the characterization, standardization and quality control of monoclonal and polyclonal anti-D antisera. Finally, the invention relates to a kit useful for testing for the presence of weak D phenotypes.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for measuring the stickiness of a flowable medium, in particular a printing ink, which is led as a layer between two surfaces that can be moved in the same direction, through a convergence zone, a pressure zone and a divergence zone; it being possible to use a measuring device to measure, as a measure of the stickiness, that force which is needed to separate the surfaces from each other. At least one surface is led on a circularly cylindrical path. The two surfaces are driven positively in the same direction and at the same speed. The surfaces contain, at least in some sections, those materials of which the surfaces which are assigned to each other during the processing of the medium to be tested in intended devices, such as printing machines, are composed. At least one of the two surfaces used to transfer the measured value is arranged on a supporting body directly or via a measured-value transmitter, having at least one area of set extensibility and is connected to measuring devices for establishing the magnitude and the direction of that force with which the surface is lifted off the supporting body, extending the extensible area, during the separation or splitting of the layer adhering to the surface. The measuring devices can be moved synchronously together with the moving surface.
