Patent EP-0899216-A1 (EP)
Inventor: REEB DAVID LEE
IPC: B65F1/16
Filed: 1997-09-01
Abstract: The invention is directed to a lock releasing
mechanism (30) for a container (10) having a hinged or
removable lid (14). A locking arm (18) is disposed
adjacent the container lid (14) to prevent an opening of
the lid (14), and a cable (24), or rigid bar, connects the
locking arm (18) to the locking mechanism (30). The
elements of the locking mechanism (30) comprise a slide
plate (32) to which the cable (24) is fixed; a spring (34)
for urging the slide plate (32) to a locked position, a
guide member (36) for guiding the slide plate (32), and a
trigger ball (40) which blocks movement of the slide arm
(32) in the locked position. When the container (10) is
tilted forward by a predetermined angle, the trigger ball
(40) becomes dislodged from the locking position to enable
movement of the slide plate (32), and subsequent movement
of the locking arm (18). When the locking arm (18) is moved
out of the path of travel for the container lid (14), the
contents of the container (10) may be removed. In one
embodiment, a stop (42) is provided to limit rotation of
the locking bar (18) to prevent contact with the container
lid (14).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for immunoassays utilizes an improved
collection technique of fluorescence induced emissions at the
solid phase/liquid phase interface from surface plasmon resonance
sensing devices.
The method of light
collection for the induced emission of surface plasmon resonance
based sensing devices involves
   (a) irradiating the film of the stratified optical system from
the substrate side with light that has a wavelength,
polarization and angle of incidence appropriate for exciting
surface plasmon resonance fluorescence;   (b) incubating the sample containing fluorescently labeled
molecules with said solid phase substrate film; and   (c) employing 360° azimuthal collection of the fluorescence
induced emission cone, and monitoring and analyzing the rate
or amount by which the detected induced emission intensity
changes as binding between the fluorescent or fluorescently
labeled molecules and the film progresses.

Abstract: The system is designed for use with a diesel engine with direct injection of fuel into the engine by means of a pump, with its inlet communicating directly with the fuel reservoir and a high pressure outlet, which injects the fuel directly into the engine, and a secondary outlet for returning the fuel to the fuel tank. A heat exchanger (10) is mounted on the return pipe (8), which returns the fuel from the pump (4) to the fuel tank (1). Heat is transferred in the heat exchanger from the fuel in the return line to a secondary fluid, which is more suitable to be used to heat the passenger compartment of the vehicle. A by-pass circuit (12) is provided.

Abstract: The dispenser comprises a housing with at least one partition (5A), an inner chamber designed to hold a batch of gloves (1), and a cut-away section (6) through which part of the gloves protrude and through which they can be extracted one at a time by applying a given effort. The cut-away section is designed, for example, to contain one finger (1A) of each of the gloves, and has stops (8,9) on either side for a batch of gloves. The stops fit between the protruding and adjacent fingers and hold a batch of gloves in place while preventing them from being removed more than one at a time.

Abstract: A process for the formation of a device edge morphological
structure (21) for protecting and sealing peripherally an
electronic circuit integrated in a major surface (5) of a
substrate of semiconductor material (6) calls for formation
above an intermediate process structure (11) of a
dielectric multilayer (10) comprising a layer of amorphous
planarizing material (13) and partial removal of the
dielectric multilayer (10) so as to create at least one
peripheral termination (25) of the multilayer in the device
edge morphological structure (21). 
     In accordance with the present invention removal of the
dielectric multilayer (10) requires that the peripheral
termination (25) thereof be located in a zone of the
intermediate process structure (11) relatively higher than
the level of the major surface (5), if compared with
adjacent zones of the intermediate structure (11) itself at
least internally toward the circuit and in so far as to the
device edge morphological structure (21).

Abstract: A hardware accelerator of the estimation of the variance for a coding
system of pictures composed of an array of lines and columns of pixels
calculates the variance of macroblocks of a digitized video image for using
the results for a real-time coding of the current image together with the
preceding and successive images according to the video algorithm
MPEG-2. The disclosed architecture minimizes the silicon area needed for
implementing the hardware accelerator for a cost-effective reduction of
the burden on the CPU of the system. 
     The use of a plurality of distinct filter/demultiplexers of known
architectures is eliminated by conveying the incoming pixels to the
respective input lines of distinct variance calculation paths by the use of a
simple counter.

Filed: 1997-06-02
Abstract: Cartilage tissue and implants comprising cartilage tissue are produced in vitro starting from cells having the ability to form an extracellular cartilage matrix. Such cells are brought into a cell space (1) and are left in this cell space for producing an extracellular cartilage matrix. The cells are brought into the cell space to have a cell density of ca. 5x107 to 109 cells per cm3 of cell space. The cell space (1) is at least partly separated from a culture medium space (2) surrounding the cell space by a semi-permeable wall (3) or by an open-pore wall acting as convection barrier. The open-pore wall can be designed as a plate (7) made of a bone substitute material and constituting the bottom of the cell space (1). The cells settle on such a plate (7) and the cartilage tissue growing in the cell space (1) grows into pores or surface roughness of the plate, whereby an implant forms which consists of a bone substitute plate (7) and a cartilage layer covering the plate and whereby the two implant parts are connected to each other in positively engaged manner by being grown together.

Abstract: A membrane probing assembly includes a support element having an incompressible forward support tiltably coupled to a rearward base and a membrane assembly, formed of polyimide layers, with its central region interconnected to the support by an elastomeric layer. Flexible traces form data/signal lines to contacts on the central region. Each contact comprises a rigid beam and a bump located in off-centered location on the beam, which bump includes a contacting portion. After initial touchdown of these contacting portions, further over-travel of the pads causes each beam to independently tilt locally so that different portions of each beam move different distances relative to the support thus driving each contact into lateral scrubbing movement across the pad thereby clearing away oxide buildup. The elastomeric member backed by the incompressible support ensures sufficient scrub pressure and reliable tilt recovery of each contact without mechanical straining of the beam. In an alternative embodiment, the contacts comprise conductive beams each supported on a loose U-shaped flap formed in the membrane assembly where each flap and beam is tiltably supported in inclined position by an elastomeric hub interposed between the flap and support.

other, and driving means 23 for moving the magnet 22. When
the magnet 22 is aligned with the magnet 8 by the driving means,
the magnets 22 and 8 attract each other to secure the lid 3
to the container body 2. When the magnet 22 is displaced from
the magnet 8, the lid 3 having been secured is released, so
