Abstract: Kit for the detection of a nucleotide sequence of interest comprising at least one nucleotide probe marked with a tracer. The kit contains, in suitable containers, a reagent essentially comprising a linear backbone copolymer having lateral substituents, whose chain consists of a first type of repetitive unit and at least one other type of repetitive unit, in which at least one part of the units of the first type have a lateral substituent comprising a nucleotide unit, such a lateral substituent not being present on the other types of units. Each of said nucleotide units, all of which are identical, comprise at least one nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing with said sequence of interest and nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing with said probe, the reagent containing on average more than two of said nucleotide units, in molar equivalents, per mole of polymer. Such a reagent enables signal amplification to be obtained, and therefore lowers the sensitivity threshold. Application, in particular, in the production of tests for the detection of pathogenic organisms, or in the diagnosis of genetic diseases.

Abstract: A transmission shifting system for a gear change transmission where an actuator responding to a control signal is used to axially displace a secondary shift rail thereby preloading a spring acting upon a primary shift rail where a coupling element permits relative motion between the secondary shift rail and the primary shift rail until gear synchronization or a torque break occurs allowing the desired gear shift to occur. The relative motion which results in a spring preload force to be generated on the primary shift rail continues until the secondary shift rail contacts the portion of the coupler adjacent to a primary flange formed as part of the primary shift rail whereupon the actuator is solidly linked to the shift rail and a shift fork.

Abstract: A composite structural post is provided for two interior walls of a building.  In one embodiment, such post includes a rectangular wooden stud having four faces. An elongate "L"-shaped metal angle bar or a "T"-shaped metal angle bar is secured to the rectangular wooden stud by means of a first arm of the elongate "L"-shaped metal angle bar or the leg of the elongate "T"-shaped metal angle bar which is secured to a first face of the rectangular wooden stud. A second arm of the elongate "L"-shaped or "T"-shaped metal angle bar is free and unsecured and projects from the rectangular wooden stud.   The first arm of the elongate "L"-shaped metal angle bar or the leg of the elongate "T"-shaped metal angle bar is provided with means to enable securing a first interior wallboard stud thereto by means of self tapping screws. The arm of the elongate "L"-shaped or "T"-shaped metal angle bar, which is free and unsecured and projects from the rectangular wooden stud, is provided with means to enable securing a second interior wallboard or interior sheathing thereto by means of self-tapping screws. The second interior wallboard or interior sheathing is disposed at right angles to the first interior wallboard or interior sheathing. In another embodiment, an integral metal structural post is provided for the erection of two pairs of interior walls. Each such pair of walls includes interior walls which are disposed at right angles to one another. The integral metal structural post includes a first elongate metal angle bar having an "L"-shaped cross-section, and two arms which have a particularly recited structure. A  second identical elongate metal angle bar is arranged in mirror-image relationship to the first elongate metal angle bar. An elongate metal web interconnects the two elongate metal angle bars in a particular manner. Because of the particulary-recited structures of the arms of the elongate metal angle bars, an interior wallboard or interior sheathing is secured directly to respective ones of the four interior faces of the two elongate metal angle bars. When such securing is effected, two interior corners are created.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatically positioning fish with respect to their plane of symmetry and for the periodic transfer of the fish to a fish processing machine is proposed.  The apparatus comprises a supply conveyor in the form of a trough conveyor and a feed conveyor arranged below and essentially perpendicular to the supply conveyor for feeding the fish into the processing machine. The feed conveyor includes a support conveyor equipped with support elements onto which each fish is placed with the support elements protruding into the belly cavity. This is achieved by a holding element which is arranged between the supply conveyor and the feed conveyor and is controlled by a signal to open and release the temporarily held fish. The generation of the signal is varied according to a measurement value representing the size of the fish being positioned so that each fish is released to land exactly positioned with its belly cavity on a support element irrespective of its size.

IPC: G03G21/10
Filed: 1996-12-05
Granted: 2001-04-10
Abstract: An apparatus in which a six bar linkage cleaner brush retraction/ engagement mechanism enables brush retraction (and engagement with the photoreceptor) while providing good control over the brush interference and the capability of changing all of the timing parameters through clutch actuation times in software and clutch shaft speed. The mechanism allows the brushes to retract and engage the photoreceptor independently of one another with relatively soft contacts to the photoreceptor to minimize impacts to photoreceptor motion quality. A four position clutch is used to provide magnetic pole sensor outputs to the system controller to decide when the clutch, which drives the six bar linkage, is engaged and disengaged. The index wheel of the clutch has four equally spaced magnets that are located relative to the retraction crank shaft so that there is a significant amount of time between detecting a pole and the corresponding desired state. An encoder is used to monitor the mechanical drift of each cleaner state.

Abstract: In an ATM network, a database is provided in a network controller for holding data pertaining to network topology and remaining network resource. The controller has a supervisory circuit that constantly monitors communication links between ATM switches. Route decision and resource reservation logic circuitry updates the database if a network failure condition is detected by the supervisory circuit. The logic circuitry also receives, from a source terminal, a reservation request indicating a reservation of an end-to-end network resource between a scheduled start time and a scheduled end time, and makes a search through the database to reserve the network resource in the database if the network resource is available. The logic circuit causes the ATM switches to establish an end-to-end connection using the reserved network resource at the scheduled start time, informs the source terminal of a VCI/VPI of the established connection for subsequent transmission of messages, releases the established connection when the request in the registration memory indicates the scheduled end time, and removes the request from the registration memory. The logic circuit also accommodates class of service requests; for a first class, the database is searched, and requested resources are reserved at the time the request is received. For a second class, the search is not performed until the scheduled start time.

Abstract: A downhole anchor for preventing rotational movement of a member within a well has a central tubular member (10), a slip housing (20) and a drag assembly (13) disposed about the tubular member. The slip housing carries at least two slip members (26, 27, 28), each slip member being rotatable about an axis substantially parallel to the central axis of the tubular member between a retracted position against the housing, and an extended position. The drag assembly is mounted on and rotatable about the tubular member and carries drag means (14). An actuator drives the rotation of the slip member in response to the rotation of the drag assembly about the tubular member. Drag means comprise a spring loaded drag block to frictionally engage a well casing, or, alternatively, unique vane members for reacting with a viscous fluid trapped between the vane members and well casing to cause drag.
