Abstract: 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid and novel derivatives thereof such as 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid and 4,5,9,14-tetraaza-(1,2,3,4)-dibenzanthracene-3,5-dicarboxylic acid can be coupled to proteins through coupling groups to form conjugates which form higly fluorescent chelates in the presence of lanthanide salts. Derivatives of the above acids reactive toward proteins can be readily manufactured by relatively simple synthetic routes, and are useful in fluorescent immunoassay.

Abstract: In a horizontal deflection circuit output transformer for a television receiver, which transformer includes a primary coil, a secondary coil inductively coupled to the primary coil, and a rectifier connected to the secondary coil and cooperating therewith to generate a high voltage for the picture tube, the secondary coil is divided into two partial windings and the rectifier is located physically between the partial windings.

Abstract: A line end stage for a television receiver which comprises a transformer, a first high voltage rectifier and a second high voltage rectifier. The transformer has a primary winding coupled to the line sweep coils of the receiver, and a secondary winding. The secondary winding has one end coupled through the first high voltage rectifier to ground and through the second high voltage rectifier to the anode of the television receiver picture tube. The transformer comprises a core having a longitudinal axis. The primary winding is mounted on the core coaxial with the longitudinal axis and an insulating winding form surrounds the primary winding. The winding form is provided with spaced longitudinally-distributed radially-extending chambers and the secondary winding is located within these chambers. The thicknesses of the winding form between the bottoms of the chambers and the primary winding are greatest at the ends of the winding form and become progressively smaller toward the center of the form.
