  • Opto-mechanical switch
    Patent number: 8687278
    Abstract: An opto-mechanical switch produces different optical paths from two optical path sections out of a plurality of optical path sections that are oriented in different spatial directions. The switch has an optical component on which one end of each optical path section impinges, and which is adapted to be moved linearly in a direction of movement at right angles to the optical path sections between different switching positions, in which it selectively couples different optical path sections optically with each other. Further provided is a measuring system for the analysis of fluids, having such an opto-mechanical switch.

  • MODULE UNIT AND FLUID ANALYSIS UNIT
    Publication number: 20130205923
    Abstract: A module unit comprises fluid modules with at least one fluid conduit protruding through the module unit, which is formed of conduit portions merging into each other, which traverse the fluid modules and on side faces of the fluid modules open in fluidic interfaces. Two fluid modules each are releasably connected with each other on opposing side faces, whereby the fluidic interfaces are coupled with each other on opposing side faces. On opposing side faces at least one magnetic element each is provided laterally away from the associated conduits portion. The magnetic elements of opposing side faces are located opposing each other and magnetically attract each other.
