Abstract: The invention relates to labeled or unlabelled nucleic acids to specifically bind to DNA of human adenoviruses (HAdV DNA), whereby the nucleic acid a) possesses the sequence SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, or SEQ ID NO. 3, b) possesses a sequence with a homology of greater than 78% with respect to SEQ ID NO. 1, SEQ ID NO. 2, or SEQ ID NO. 3, or c) is complementary with respect to a nucleic acid according to a) or b). Also described are methods for the detection of HAdV DNA.

Abstract: The present invention is applicable to grinding apparatus for removing irregularities from and for levelling the working surface of thick, large width rubber belts used to compact paper or (in the case of fabric, preshrink) fibrous webs; and the control of such grinding apparatus. The present invention permits grinding during production use of a belt when the environment near (above) the belt is inimical to visual grinding control by personnel due to high heat and steam. Sensing and control means placed remotely from the working surface of the belt permits an operator to control grinding more precisely than if done visually and without subjecting the operator to dangerously adverse working conditions.

Abstract: Lubrication of a compacting resilient belt used in a web compacting system is facilitated by maintaining a constant depth pool of lubricating liquid between a fluid compactor bar and the inside surface of the belt on the belt approach side of the compactor bar. The compactor bar includes a liquid dam sidewall portion that is provided with liquid overflow weir openings so that the level of the surface of the pool can be automatically maintained at a predetermined height. The belt is used in conjunction with a drum to form a nip space between the outside surface of the belt and a peripheral sector of the drum, the nip space receiving the web to be compacted in the web running direction in a conventional manner, the outside surface of the belt being compressed against the drum by the compactor bar, which bears against the inside surface of the belt while the belt is driven through the nip space.
