Date Apr. 19, 1990.The method is used to process a synthetic moulding compound which crystallizes within a specific temperature range. In order to prevent milkiness in the blank to be produced, the moulding compound is chilled. The method prevents such milkiness, at least in the gate area of the blank, by keeping all of the moulding compound, during the operating cycle, as far as the gate area, at a temperature which is above the temperature TCC below which the moulding compound begins to crystallize. A gate system, which may be used to carry out the method, uses, in the interior of the injection nozzle, a strongly heat conducting nozzle core, a strongly heat conducting area in the immediate vicinity of the gate opening, and a gap for heat insulation of the nozzle tip, the nozzle core and the moulded body.

Abstract: Methods for amplifying and detecting a predetermined target nucleic acid in a biological specimen are known, and can be accomplished even when there is a mismatch in a single position between a primer and the target nucleic acid. The mismatch is located at or near the 3 min end of the primer. Disclosed herein is a method for overcoming such a mismatch, and is particularly useful for detection of a nucleic acid sequence which is not fully known, or where there is considerable heterogeneity in DNA target from patient samples. The method is characterized by using a primer having a nucleotide with a thymine base at the position of the mismatch, the primer being used to prime the target and to form primer extension products.

Abstract: Apparatus for the continuous extrusion of metals in which feed is introduced into two (or more) spaced apart circumferential grooves 4 in a rotating wheel 2 (or rotating wheels) to contact an arcuate shoe portion 8 and abutments extending into the grooves. The feed is constrained by the abutments to flow through frusto-conical exit apertures 10 in the shoe portion 8 to a chamber 6 and is extruded as relatively thin-walled, large cross-section, product. The exit apertures 10 have cone angles in the range 5 DEG  - 45 DEG . Mixer plates 14 are profiled to distribute flow evenly from the apertures 10 to around the die opening 30. An extrusion die body 18 for cylindrical extrusions is located and axially centred by set screws 122. Where an even number of grooves 4 are utilised, an extrusion mandrel 12 may be secured to the shoe portion 8 by a bolt 22 positioned centrally of the grooves. Lubricant or oxidation inhibiting fluids may be injected internally of the extruded product through a passage 36, 38 extending through the shoe portion 8 and the bolt 22. In another embodiment, the chamber 6 is also of divergent frusto-conical form having a cone angle corresponding to that of the apertures 10, thereby enabling the extrusion of even larger cross-section products. The frusto-conical form may be of elliptical cross-section to achieve a requisite divergence or to accord with the configuration of the die orifice. By providing spaced apart grooves 4 and apertures 10 diverging frusto-conically it is possible to extrude products of relatively large cross-section since the volume feed rate is enhanced and the distance travelled by the material from the grooves 4 to the die orifice 30 is reduced, thereby reducing friction losses and the likelihood of discontinuities in the extrudate arising.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for accurate digital determination of the time or phase position of a signal pulse train in relation to a fixed time or frequency reference. The arrangement generates and produces directly on the output a digital word corresponding to the measuring value current at that time. The pulse train is compared in a plurality of EXCLUSIVE-OR gates (OR0-OR3) with a number of reference clock signals (RCL0-RCL3) which are mutually displaced in time. There is produced on the output of each gate a signal (MS0-MS3) which is dependent on the input signals of the gates with respect to frequency and pulse ratio. The output signals from the gates are sent to a comparison circuit (CO) in which a MIN of MAX operation is carried out, the pulse ratio of the output signals (MS0-MS3) being compared and the output signal which lies nearest to a predetermined pulse-ratio value being subjected to analogue/digital conversion in a converter (AD). The pulse train, in digital form, is thereafter code-converted in a code converter (CC) together with the three most significant bits taken from the pulse train prior to the AD-conversion process. The thus produced binary code can be corrected for systematic deviations resulting from frequency differences between the frequency, reference frequency and/or sampling frequency of the pulse train, by the addition/subtraction of a predetermined numeric sequence.
