Patent number: 7018519Abstract: A multicapillary electrophoresis system includes juxtaposed capillaries, at least one source configured for the emission of a light beam intended to excite molecules lying in its path and inside the capillaries and detects the fluorescence of the molecules excited by the light beam. Light that emerges at the exit of the capillaries and that propagates along the direction in that the capillaries extend is detected. The resolution for detection is high enough to distinguish light that emerges at the exit of each of the capillaries. A first liquid is located outside of the capillaries. A second liquid is located inside of the capillaries. The first liquid has a first refractive that is equal to or greater than the refractive index of the second liquid. A mirror is facing the source on the side of the capillaries which is opposed to the source.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2000Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Inventors: Rainer Siebert, Samuele Bottani, Hans Rebscher, Luc Valentin, Gilbert Gauguet

Patent number: 4648320Abstract: A detonator triggering device which is located in the head of an underwater projectile, and wherein a pressure receiver which is positioned within an opening in the projectile head is exposed to a dynamic pressure or velocity head. A piezo-ceramic disc which is equipped with electrical contacts is rigidly supported on one side thereof in the head of the projectile, and with its other side contacts against a pressure transmitting member which is supported within the opening in the head. As a result, the dynamic pressure will act against the piezo-ceramic disc. Every change in the dynamic pressure consequently provides for a corresponding change in the charge or change in the voltage of the piezo-ceramic disc. This permits itself to be processed in an electronic evaluating or gating circuit, such that the applicable voltage change is employed as the actuating criteria.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1985Date of Patent: March 10, 1987Assignee: Diehl GmbH & Co.Inventors: Wilhelm Furst, Werner Rudenauer, Rainer Siebert
