  • Patent number: 9776322
    Abstract: An analyzer is disclosed for optical analysis of a biological specimen. In at least one embodiment, the analyzer includes optics which includes a camera, intermediate optics and front optics. The intermediate optics is movably arranged and the front optics is fixedly arranged. An analyzer for optical analysis of a biological specimen, in at least one embodiment includes a robot for transporting a slide to be analyzed. The robot is controlled by at least three motors to allow movement of the robot in three dimensions. The robot includes a handling device configured to grip the slide.

  • Patent number: 6014210
    Abstract: A device for optical analysis of a specimen, especially a blood sample, is in the form of a dish, a translucent plate-shaped portion, which has a specimen-receiving surface, essentially constituting the bottom of the dish, and a frame, which engages the plate-shaped portion, forming its wall. To catch surplus liquid from the specimen-receiving surface, especially when receiving, smearing, spinning or coloring the specimen, an absorbing material is arranged in a loop along the circumference of the plate-shaped portion. The design of the device permits safe and easy handling of specimens that are injurious to health.

  • Patent number: 4361323
    Abstract: A pulling apparatus has a stand (1) with vertical legs (2) which guide a weight magazine (7) for vertical movement. The magazine, which is a bottomless basket with a row of holes (12) in the side surfaces, is intended for weights (14) in a stack. These weights are provided with yoke-shaped components (15) which serve on the one hand as guides between the weights, and on the other hand as spacers. The distance between the magazine holes corresponds to the spacing between the respective weights so that a lifting plate (13) can be introduced into the hole between the weights.

  • Patent number: 4321985
    Abstract: This invention relates to a change-over valve (or a so called empty-load valve), preferably for a railway vehicle, having a valve device opening or closing a pneumatic passageway depending on the position of a mechanical operating system or in other words the load on the vehicle.In order to improve the working range of the external operating arm and the exactness of the change-over point the operating system comprises a force transmitting chain from said operating arm to the valve device via a spring, a knee lever, and a valve operating rod structured in such a geometrical way that the axis of the spring is substantially perpendicular to the valve operating rod.
