It was one of the moments Harry Potter fans had been dying to see throughout the entire series — the kiss between Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson). And in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, fans got what they wanted.
In a scene taken from the upcoming Blu-ray release of the final Harry Potter movie, director David Yates talks about how Watson and Grint prepared for their big onscreen kiss.
They're like brother and sister, they were both very nervous. Emma's really smart and she decided that if she was going to avoid 27 takes she was going to get it right the first time.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 comes out on Blu-ray Nov. 11.

No buses, no peace
Two days into the reality that King County's transit system is about to return to 1997 levels of service, I find myself too overwhelmed to say anything coherent on the subject.
Since election night, I've been spending a lot of time thinking–about how 60 years of social engineering, influenced by a handful of greedy corporations, can create a transportation system that requires people to be able bodied, within a certain age range, and capable of spending many thousands of dollars per year just to have basic mobility.
I've been thinking about how a transit agency can be …

Since the last time I posted (in August—ahem), the Bus Fam has been through a few transitions.
For one thing, Chicklet started kindergarten (!), moving us to yet another stage in our bus lives: parenting a school-age kid.
At some point, I will share more extensive thoughts about our experiences so far. For now, I'll say we are extremely fortunate that there is an amazing preschool on site at Chicklet's elementary school. Having one drop-off is helpful to all parents; it is the holy grail for bus parents.

2011: The bus year in review
The bus theme for 2011 was "adjustment." It was a tough year on several fronts.
1) Busing with babies
I started the year grappling with the awkwardness of traveling with a toddler and a preschooler. The challenges increased as the year progressed (and baby #2 grew heavier, squirmier, and more opinionated). We still got around, of course, but I always felt like I had to choose something to sacrifice: convenience, physical comfort, carrying capacity, or sanity. Usually, it was two of the four.
I'll admit that problem-solving isn't my strong suit*, but I'm still convinced that most …

The Electricity is generating from Air, Water, Fire, and from other measures. The present production is not sufficient for meeting the International demand.� Therefore�the Scientists are taking steps�to find new measures for generating additional�power to meet the demand. Recently the Research scientists of Washington University have invented a new measure for�generating electricity from trees. They have succeeded in this procedure.�Practically they have produced 200 Milli Vats of electricity from the trees available in their University campus.
To the tree stem one electrode and some electrodes in the surroundings of the tree, will be placed immediately the generation of Electricity process is commenced. The Scientists have used the electricity exclusively generated from the tree i.e., from particular circuit placed on the stem. The Scientists have examined the circuit and found that the electricity developed by them from trees can be used. But the power production from the trees is very less.�With this power no electronic devices will work. So there are doubts against the process of electric generation from trees.
The less production of electricity can be stored and it can be increased by using of�Voltage�Booster. Scientists have used�the boosters, so that 20 milli volt powers was increased to 1.1 volts. For functioning of small sensors the electricity generated from the trees can be used and�as it is sufficient. In American forestry fire accidents are happening�regularly. Lakhs of acres of Forestry is getting ruined. To avoid this problem the American Government is encouraging the fire forecasting development organization to stop the loss of forest property.
Therefore�this organization�has arranging special sensors�to the trees.�The sensors can identify the fire accidents in�advance�and�will give forecasting caution and about�severity of accident.�At present the electricity is providing to the special sensors�by solar energy. If the cost of electricity produced from trees�are found reasonable and�stands technically,�the Forest Development�Organization�can use the current�for their needs. For this purpose the Scientists have developed Nano circuits. These nano circuits are� useful for saving the electricity and works efficiently. In fact a Nano circuit of130 Nano meters in size, has consumed 10 Nano volts electricity only.�But the electricity produced from trees is not sufficient for maintenance of Electronic devises.
Day by day the NANO knowledge is developing and increasing. Therefore the Nano Electronic devices will be appeared shortly�in the market. Then the electricity generation from the trees�is substitute to the present electricity production.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 387,918, filed Aug. 13, 1973, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,933,436.
This invention relates to an automatic chemical analyzer suitable for use in clinics, pharmacies and the like.
There has been a growing need in the fields of chemical analysis and medical analysis for an apparatus which can analyze samples like serum repeatedly with high reproducibility and reliability.
However, it has been very difficult to design an apparatus having fully automatic capabilities due to the inherently complicated nature of the operational system involved. But in spite of such difficulties, it was highly desirable to provide a fully integrated system of automation covering such operations as sequential sampling, reagent selection, test type selection, reaction tube selection, flow line washing, etc.; otherwise sequential analysis without cross-contamination of the solutions involved becomes impossible.
According to this invention there is provided a new automated assay system which satisfies such needs. In particular, it is an apparatus with fully automatic processes that include the measuring of sample volume, feeding of reagent, cleaning of the system, and recording of analytical instrument readout (detection).
An object of this invention is to provide an improved apparatus that automatically and sequentially analyzes fluid samples. Samples may be divided into smaller portions, diluted by a proper diluent or reagent and, after a chemical reaction, the diluted sample analyzed by a colorimeter or a flame photometer, for example.
Briefly, according to this invention a sequential multi-test system employs a compressed closed flow system; namely, all the sample, reagent and cleaning solution flow lines are pressurized with nitrogen gas and isolated from the atmosphere. The closed system has the following advantages: (a) The pressurized flow lines prevent the formation of air bubles. (b) Samples and reagent will not oxidize as they are isolated from the air. (c) Being completely closed, the flow lines are free from noxious gas fumes. (d) Analytical mechanisms are simple and durable.
Moreover, the sequential multi-test system according to this invention allows automatic sequential analysis of a plurality of constituents by means of plural channels. With this system, analysis is carried out while automatically changing reagents in sequence. Each time a sample is analyzed, the flow line is cleaned and dried automatically before proceeding with the analysis of the next sample. All operations including data recording may be directed by operation control tape.
These and other objects of the invention will become more readily apparent by reading the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, of which
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of the apparatus constituting this invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross section of a novel valve construction used in this invention.
FIG. 3 is a projected plan indicating the major section of the sample measuring valve used in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a view of the flow lines of the members shown in FIG. 3.
FIG. 5 shows a sample measuring valve cleaning system.
FIG. 6 is a projected plan indicating the major section of a reaction solution selection valve used in this invention.
FIG. 7 is a partial cross-section view of the reaction bath.
FIG. 8 is a projected plan indicating the major section of a waste valve.
FIG. 1 relates to an embodiment of the invention constructed so that up to ten tests per sample can be simultaneously performed. One reaction bath is provided for each analysis, therefore there are 10 reaction baths 1 - 10, each of which accommodates 10 reaction tubes 11 - 20. (FIG. 1 only shows reaction baths 1, 2 and 10.) This means that the samples of 10 patients can be simultaneously examined with respect to 10 test items. A turntable 21 (actually two turntables are provided) accommodates forty sample tubes 22. Samples such as serum, urine, etc., are placed into sample holding tubes 22 mounted on the said motor-driven turntable 21. The turntable 21 rotates intermittently. Each time the turntable rotates, sample is picked up by a pipette 23 and introduced into a sample measuring valve 24 (its structure will be described in detail later). Sample pickup is achieved by a sample pickup device 25 such as a pump or plunger connected to one of the flow lines of the sample measuring valve 24. The sample measuring valve 24 is designed to draw the sample into ten sample measuring channels 26 - 35 and thus to divide the sample into 10 portions corresponding to the reagents used for testing or the separate tests. After the sample is divided, the sample measuring valve is slightly turned (1/20 of a turn in this embodiment) so that sample measuring channels 26 - 35 will coincide with reagent inlet flow lines 36 - 45 and reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55 (not all numbered in FIG. 1). The various reagents, water, acetic acid, etc., are contained in reagent reservoirs 56 - 65. (Only reservoirs 56, 57 and 65 are shown in FIG. 1.) Reagents preselected according to test items are delivered by constant flow pumps 66 - 75 (66, 67 and 75 shown) into reagent inlet flow lines 36 - 45 to respective sample measuring holes 26 - 35. A gas cylinder 107 containing an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon pressurizes the reagent reservoirs 56 - 65 and thereby prevent the generation of air bubbles which would impair measurement accuracy. Valve 108 regulates the gas pressure and 109 is a pressure gauge. The reservoirs are pressurized at about 1.5 - 3.0 kg/cm2.
The reagents which are introduced into the sampling valve 24 together with the measured sample fractions are delivered through reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55 into reaction tube selector valves 76 - 85, respectively (76, 77 and 85 shown). The reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55 are connected to inlets 86 - 95 of the selector valves 76 - 85 through pipes 96 - 105, respectively (96, 97 and 105 shown). Each reaction tube selector valve is provided with one inlet flow line (86 - 95) and ten direction outlet flow lines a1 - a10. For example, mixture of the reagent and sample discharge from outlet flow line a1 of the selector valve 76 is injected through pipe 106 into reaction tube 11 provided in the reaction tube bath 1. A mixture passing through selector valves 77 - 85 is likewise delivered into reaction tubes 11 of the respective reaction baths 2 - 10.
Thus, one sample stored in one sample tube 22 is divided into ten equal portions by the sample measuring valve 24. The ten equal portions of the sample together with the reagent are distributed through their respective selector valves 76 - 85 into the first reaction tube 11 in their respective reaction baths 1 - 10. Then, one sample in the second sample holding tube is likewise divided into ten portions by the sample measuring valve 24, and the ten portions are distributed through their respective selector valves 76 - 85 into the second reaction tube 12 in their reaction baths 1 - 10. Thus after the ten portions of the sample are sequentially measured, they are delivered into the 3rd - 10th reaction tubes. Operation of these valves and pumps is controlled by signals optionally read out from the operation tape.
Each reaction bath (1 - 10) is partitioned by a plate 110 into two compartments. The lower compartment 111 is supplied with a circulation of warm water by a water supply unit 113 to control the temperature and therefore reaction of the sample. Warm water is thermostatically controlled by warm water piped through pipe 114 from the water supply unit 113. The upper compartment 112 is pressurized with an inert gas such as nitrogen at 1.5 - 3.0 kg/cm2 by a gas cylinder 115 through pipe 116. A reaction tube lies astride both compartments 111 and 112 opening into the upper compartment. The bottom end of the reaction tube is connected to a pipe through which sample is delivered to the analytical instrument (detector) after reaction. A motor-driven stirrer 117 is inserted into the reaction tube to stir the sample and reagent. As reaction tubes 11 - 20 in the respective reaction baths 1 - 10 are filled with samples, a reaction reagent contained in a reagent reservoir 118 is fed into the reaction tubes 11 - 20 through flow lines 119 - 128 via pump 129 and passageway 130 of the reagent selector valve 141. Reagent in the reservoirs 132 - 140 are likewise supplied to the reaction tubes 11 - 20 of the respective reaction baths 2 - 10 through reagent selector valves 142 - 150, (only 142 and 150 shown) and pumps 151 - 159 (only 151 and 159 shown) respectively. The reaction reagents are selected according to analysis, such as methanol and acetic acid.
The sample and reagent in each of the reaction tubes 11 - 20 of the respective reaction baths 1 - 10 are stirred by the stirrer 117, and after the lapse of the reaction time, it is delivered into a reaction solution selector valve 160 through pipes 171 - 180 (only 171, 172 and 173 shown).
The reaction solution selector valve 160 is provided with passageways 181 - 190 (shown as open circles on FIG. 1) which are connected to the said pipes 171 - 180. Cleaning flow lines (shown as black dots on FIG. 1) 191 - 200 are spaced radially among the said passageways 181 - 190. A loop flow line 201 is connected to the said cleaning flow lines 191 - 200. A distribution duct 202 is arranged for selecting the said passageways 181 - 190 (the structure will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3). The connections of reaction solution selector valves 161 - 169 corresponding to the 2nd to the 10th reaction baths are the same as described above for valve 160.
The reaction solution selector valves 160 - 169 (160, 161 and 169 shown) are connected to analytical instruments (detectors) 203 - 212 (only 203, 204 and 212 are shown) including a colorimeter respectively. Each time a reaction solution selector valve 160 makes 1/20 of a turn, the reaction solution in reaction tubes 11 - 20 is directed to detector 203 in order, the detection signal of which is recorded by a recorder 213. After detection, the reaction solution passes through pipe 214 into the first waste valve 215.
The first waste valve is equipped with flow lines 216 - 225 (not all shown) connecting to a waste reservior 226 and flow lines 227 - 236 (not all shown) connecting to the second waste valve 237. The flow lines 262 - 270 are connected to the 2nd to the 10th detectors (204 - 212), respectively. The rotation (1/20 of a turn) of the said second waste valve 237 exposes flow lines 227 - 236 to the air, or alternately isolates them from the air.
Next, cleaning of the reaction tube and the detector flow line will be described. In FIG. 1, when a pipe 173 of the reaction tube 13 in the reaction bath 1 is connected with a duct 202 of the reaction solution selector valve 160, a sample in the reaction tube 13 is forced out by nitrogen gas from a pressure cylinder 115 and is delivered through pipes 173 and 374 into the detector 203. At this time, the first waste valve 215 is connected with the second waste valve 237 which is isolated from the air (closed) (this will be described in detail with regard to FIG. 8), thereby the liquid sample is sent through the pipe 214 and the first waste valve 215 to the second waste valve 237.
After detection or analysis, the reaction solution selector valve 160 makes 1/20 of a turn to block the reaction tube and the detector flow line. By the rotation of valve 160, the duct 202 is connected to the cleaning flow line 193 and the passageways 252 and 253 (see FIG. 6) are connected to the cleaning flow line 183 and passageway 192 and cleaning flow line 182 and passageway 191, respectively. After the second waste valve is released, the detected sample in the pipe 227 is discharged. Next, the first waste valve 215 is rotated 1/20 of a turn and thereby is connected with a waste reservior 226. At the same time, a cleaning solution such as the alkaline solution in a cleaning solution reservior 250 from the cleaning solution pump 251 is delivered through a reaction solution selector valve 160, passageways 252 and 253, pipes 173 and 172 into reaction tubes 13 and 12 and through a detector 203 through flow lines 193 and 202. After the cleaning solution cleans the detector 203, it is discharged through the first waste valve 215 into the waste reservoir 226. The cleaning solution back washes into the reaction tubes and spills into the upper section of the reaction bath from which it is drained.
Thus, the interlocking selector valves feed samples successively into detectors and clean the empty reaction tubes and detectors.
FIG. 2 is a cross section view of one embodiment of the novel valves useful in applicant's invention. A rotary slide member 281, upper fixed member 282 and lower fixed member 283 are made of borosilicate glass, polytetrafluoroethylene, artificial ruby, etc., making them resist to all erosive organic and inorganic substances. Upper fixed member 282 is supported by a cylindrical framework 284, the center of which is equipped with a conical groove to receive a steel ball 285. An upper base plate 286 is equipped with a removable screwed cylinder 289 and the said steel ball 285 is pressed by a pressure rod 288 which is supported by the cylinder 289. A coil spring 290 is used for biasing the said pressure rod 288 against steel ball 285. Lower fixed member 283 is supported by framework 291 and 292. The framework 291 is clamped down to a plate 293 by a screw 294. The framework 295 supports the rotary member 281. Antisolvent bushings 296 and 297 are provided on the surfaces of frameworks 284 and 292 which are in contact with the framework 295 to maintain axial alinement of the rotary slide member 281 with fixed members 282 and 283 and to enable the rotary member to rotate smoothly. In the framework 295 Geneva gear 298 is held by screws 299 to allow the rotary member to rotate. Said Geneva gear engages intermittently with a roller 300 supported by a support shaft 301. A bevel gear 302 supported by support shaft 301, engages with a bevel gear 303 which is locked on a drive shaft 304 of a motor 305 and the said gear transmits the power of the motor 305 to the Geneva gear 298, rotating the rotary member 281 to change the valve positions. The motor is intermittently driven by limit switches.
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the flow directing sample measuring valve 24 shown in FIG. 1: The rotary slide member 281, the upper fixed member 282 and the lower fixed member 283.
Elements in FIG. 3 carry the same numbers as their respective elements in the other drawings. The said members 281, 282, and 283 are alined and moved relative to each other by an assembly such as described with reference to FIG. 2. In the rotary member 281, ten sample measuring holes 26 - 35 are radially spaced. The upper fixed member 282 is equipped with radially spaced reagent inlet flow lines 36 - 45 of the same number as the rotary member 281 and with five grooves 311 - 315 astride reagent inlet flow lines 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44. The said lower fixed member 283 is equipped with radially spaced reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55 of the same number as the said sample measuring holes in rotary slide 281 and with one flow line; for example, a sample inlet flow line 316 and a sample suction flow line 317 astride a flow line 47. Furthermore, grooves 318 - 321 are engraved astride flow lines 49, 51, 53 and 55 on the surface of the lower fixed member 283 which is in contact with said rotary member 281. The sample inlet flow line 316 is connected to the reagent reservoir and the sample suction flow line 317 connects to the sample suction pump 25.
FIG. 4 shows the positions of the flow lines and grooves of the sample measuring valve in FIG. 3, when the sample volume is measured. The reagent inlet flow lines 36 - 45 of the upper fixed member 282 coincide with the reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55 of the lower fixed member 283, respectively. When the sample measuring holes 26 - 35 are positioned between the reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55, one (27 in this figure) of the sample measuring holes 26 - 35 coincides with the sample inlet flow line 316, and the hole 27 coincides with a sample suction flow line 317. A sample from the sample inlet flow line 316 passes through the sample measuring hole 27 and reaches the next sample measuring hole 28 via groove 312 of the upper fixed member 282. Then, the sample is guided through groove 318 of the lower fixed member into the sample measuring hole 29. Thus, the sample proceeds through the grooves of the upper fixed member and the lower fixed member successively until it finally reaches sample suction flow line 317 through sample measuring hole 26. Then, the rotary member 281 is given 1/20 of a turn in the direction of the arrow with each sample measuring hole loaded with sample. The holes 26 - 35 are shifted to the positions of the reagent inlet flow lines 36 - 45, respectively. As a result, samples measured out in their volume measuring holes together with reagents in the reagent reservoirs 56 - 65 are guided through reagent outlet flow lines 46 - 55 into their respective selector valves 76 - 85. After the sample is discharged from the sample volume measuring hole, the rotary member 281 is given 1/20 of a turn and the sample measuring holes are cleaned.
FIG. 5 is a flow lines of the sample measuring valve cleaning system. Cleaning of the sample measuring valve 24 is achieved after a sample is injected and delivered into the reaction tube. In the figure, 23 and 331 are the sample tube and the cleaning solution reservoir, respectively. The water supply tube 332 feeds water continuously. Surplus water drains off from the right space 333 through drain pipe. A sample suction pipe 23 is constructed so that it can shuttle between the sample tube 22 and the cleaning solution reservoir 331.
The needle valve 334 consists of a needle valve block 335 and plungers 336 - 339. The needle valve is connected to a constant flow pump 25. Sealed vessels 341, 342 and 343 which are pressurized by an inert gas from a gas cylinder (not shown) are filled with cleaning solution, tap water and distilled water pumped from reservoirs 344, 345 and 346. Constant pressure valves 347, 348 and 349 allow the cleaning solution to return through the lines into the reservoirs 344, 345 and 346 when pressure in the sealed vessels 341, 342 and 343 exceeds a given level after supply pumps 350, 351 and 352 have delivered the solution. Pressure gauges 353, 354 and 355 indicate pressure in the sealed vessels and switching valves 356, 357 and 358 are used for drainage.
In this structure, when a plunger 337 is opened, pressure in the sealed vessel 341 forces the cleaning solution through the needle valve 334, through the sample measuring valve 24 and the sample suction tube 23 and into the cleaning solution reservoir 332, thereby cleaning the sample measuring flow lines.
Next, if the plunger 337 is closed and the plunger 338 is opened, the tap water in the closed vessel 342 flows in the same flow lines and drains off all the cleaning solution. Furthermore, when the plunger 338 is closed and the plunger 339 is opened, the distilled water in the closed vessel 343 flows to clean the flow lines completely; then the plunger 339 is closed. After the sample suction tube 23 is moved from the cleaning reservoir 331 into the sample tube 22 as in the dotted line, the plunger 336 is opened and the constant flow pump 25 is operated to draw up a sample in the sample tube 22. On this occasion, the sample is drawn up but not to the extent that the sample tip reaches the needle valve block 335. Then the plunger 336 is closed, the rotor 281 of the sample measuring valve 24 is rotated by 18� (see FIG. 4), a given quantity of reagent in the sample measuring hole 26 is delivered from a supply tube 360, and a given quantity of sample is fed through supply tube 96 and selector valve 76 into the reaction tube 11. The samples in the respective sample measuring holes 27 - 35 likewise transferred into the reaction tubes 11 of the respective reaction baths 2 - 10.
By repeating this sequence, various samples can be successively analyzed. A routine technique is capable of automatically controlling with ease all the operations of the plungers 336 - 339, constant flow pump 25, sample suction tube 23, and the sample measuring valve 24 as well as the supplying of the reagent solution by a programmer.
FIG. 6 is a projected plan indicating the major section of reaction solution selector valve 160 used in FIG. 1. FIG. 6 shows only the rotary member 371 and the upper and the lower fixed members 372 and 373, which can be supported and rotated with the same structure as that of the valve shown in FIG. 2. The rotary member 371 is equipped with an oblique duct 202 one exit of which passes through the rotary center and two grooves 252 and 253 on the surface in contact with the lower fixed member 373. The upper fixed member 372 is equipped with an axially positioned flow line 374 one end of which is connected to the detector 203. THe lower fixed member 373 is equipped with flow lines 181 - 190 connected to reaction tubes 11 - 20 at equidistant radially spaced intervals over a circle, and in addition there are cleaning solution flow lines 191 - 200 between the said flow lines 181 - 190. The flow lines 191 - 200 are connected to each other by a loop flow line 201 except between the flow lines 191 and 200. Grooves 252 and 253 engraved in the said rotary member are long enough to connect two adjoining flow lines (for example, 182 and 192).
When, for example, duct 202 in the rotary member 371 connects to the flow line 183 of the lower fixed member 373, a reaction solution in the reaction tube 13 passes through a pipe 173, duct 202, and a flow line 374 of the upper fixed member 372 into the detector 203, where the sample solution is detected. On this occasion, the grooves 252 and 253 in the rotary member 371 coincide with flow lines 182 and 192 and 191 and 181, respectively. The reaction tube is always cleaned by a cleaning system similar to that for the sample measuring valve 24 shown in FIG. 1. Since a cleaning solution is always delivered from the cleaning solution supply pump 251 into loop flow line 201 through pipe 375 (see FIG. 1), the solution proceeds to the grooves 252 and 253 through the flow lines 192 and 191 and it is guided into the flow lines 182 and 181. Then, it passes through pipes 171 and 172, cleaning reaction tubes 11 and 12. When the rotary member 371 makes 1/20 of a turn in the direction of the arrow and the flow line 202 is coincident with a flow line 193 of the lower fixed member 373, the cleaning solution flows into the detector 203 through flow line 201, flow lines 193, 202 and 374, and grooves 252 and 253 coincide with flow lines 183 and 192 and 182 and 191. As a result, reaction tubes 12 and 13 are cleaned.
Referring now to FIG. 7, the major elements of the reaction bath 1 are described. The reaction tube 11 is a cylinder with an open top and a funnel-shaped bottom end 382. The reaction bath 1 is formed by plates 390, 391, 392 and 393 defining an enclosure. A plate 110 divides the enclosure into two compartments, namely the pressurized chamber 112 and the water bath 111. The reaction process is directly observed through the observation window 386. An O-ring 383 positioned at a ring convex 384 on the periphery near the base and a push-up member 385 for the reaction tube 11 held down onto the base plate 390 by screws 387 serve to keep the reaction tube 11 and the base plate 386 airtight.
A hole 388 in the center of the funnel-shaped base 384 of the reaction tube 11 leads via a connector 389 into a supply tube 171 connecting to a valve 160 (see FIG. 1). On the other hand, the upper section of the reaction tube 11 is locked by a partitioned panel 110 and a flange pipe-like fixture member 395 clamped by screws 396. In the center of the internal surface of the fixture member 395 there is a step 397 on which a column member 398 is positioned. The column member 398 not only acts as a bearing for the stirrer 117 rotated by a belt 399 but has an opening 400 connecting via a connector 401 to a sample or reagent supply tube 402 and injects the solution via a nozzle 403 into the reaction tube 11. The fixture member 395 has a window 404 which allows the cleaning solution for the reaction tube 11 to flow out into the upper compartment 112.
FIG. 8 illustrates one embodiment of the waste valve 215 shown in FIG. 1, which consists of a rotary slide member 411, upper fixed member 412 and lower fixed member 413. These members are made of borosilic acid glass, ethylene-tetrafluoride resin, ruby, etc. which resist all erosive organic and inorganic substances. The rotary member 411 is equipped with flow lines 414 - 423 radially spaced over a concentric circle and with grooves 424 - 433 on the surface in contact with the upper fixed member 412. One end of each groove coincides with each of the said flow lines 414 - 423 and the other end extends circumferentially halfway toward the adjacent flow line. The upper fixed member 412 is equipped with flow lines 434 - 443 of the same number of the said flow lines 414 - 423 over a concentric circle. The lower fixed member 413 is equipped with the first group of flow lines 444 - 453 connecting to the waste reservoir 226 and the second group of flow lines 454 - 463 connecting to the second waste valve 237 (see FIG. 1). The flow lines 434 - 443 are connected to the detectors 203 - 212, the flow lines 444 - 453 are connected to the waste reservoir 226 and the flow lines 454 - 463 are connected to the second waste valve 237 through flow lines 227 - 236 respectively.
When the sample solution is detected by the detector 203, the flow lines 434 - 443 of the upper fixed member 412 are connected to flow lines 454 - 463 of the lower fixed member 413 through flow lines 414 - 423. At this time, the pipes 227 - 236 are connected to the flow lines 471 - 480 of the second waste valve 237 and isolated from the air. After the detection, the first and second waste valves 215 and 237 are rotated 1/20 of a turn, respectively. Then, the flow lines 434 - 443 of the first waste valve 215 are connected to flow lines 454 - 463 through flow lines 414 - 423, and the rotation of the said second waste valve 237 exposes pipes 227 - 236 to the air. Therefore, residual solution in the pipes 227 - 236 is wasted from flow lines 238 - 247 of the second waste valve 237 and, residual solution in the pipes between the detectors and first waste valve 215 is discharged by the cleaning solution supplied from the pump 250, into the waste reservoir 226 through first waste valve 215 and pipes 216 - 225. With this waste system, drops in the flow line pressure can be prevented, since the cleaning of detectors is completed under the condition that flow lines are isolated from the air.
As described in detail hereinabove, this invention provides an automatical sequential analyzing apparatus of multiconstituents of many samples. If all operations of the automated assay system based on the invention are programmed in advance, all procedures except arrangement of samples can be achieved fully automatically. Moreover, diagnostic data on the patient's samples can be obtained by connecting this system to an on-line computer which processes signals from a detector.
While I have described certain presently preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that it may be otherwise embodied within the scope of the appended claims.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A Snohomish County judge has ruled that a woman accused of starving and beating her boyfriend's younger sister is fit for trial.
After state doctors determined Mary Mazalic can assist with her own defense, Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas scheduled her trial for next month, although her attorney says he will likely need more time to prepare.
The Daily Herald (http://is.gd/8P9BgF ) reports the 35-year-old Mukilteo woman is charged with first degree assault of a child and first-degree criminal mistreatment. If convicted, she faces more than a decade in prison.
Prosecutors allege that Mazalic repeatedly beat, starved and burned her boyfriend's younger sister. The 10-year-old came to live with the couple in 2010.
The girl weighed just 51 pounds when she was removed from the home in August. That's about two-thirds the weight of a healthy child her age.

Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

University of Chicago, B.A.
On leave 2015-2016: Alexander von Humboldt Fellow and Fellow of the Forschungskolleg Analytic German Idealism, Leipzig University, Department of Philosophy.
Lara Ostaric specializes in history of modern Philosophy, especially Kant and German Idealism, and aesthetics. She is interested in the issues of moral teleology, metaphysics and epistemology and their relation to aesthetics. Her current book project, tentatively titled Critique of Judgment and the Unity of Kant's Critical System, explores the role of aesthetic judgment for the relation between theoretical and practical reason in Kant, how Kant's third Critique points uniquely beyond Kant's own critical framework and how it bears on the development of post-Kantian philosophy. Lara Ostaric studied at Chicago, Notre Dame, was a DAAD fellow and fellow of the Center for Advanced Studies at the Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität in Munich.

As a former superintendent and principal at all three levels, Randy Hodges says experience is important when it comes to running a school district. The man he is challenging knows all about experience. David Little has been the leader of the Lauderdale County School District for the last 12 years.
"We are going to continue to have the best school district in east central Mississippi," said Little. "We are going to continue to have, not just the best in academic, but in extracurricular. We are going to continue to meet the needs of our children."
"I want to make school an exciting and rewarding experience for our students, so we will emphasize the performing arts and fine arts," Hodges said.
Four of the nine schools in the Lauderdale County School District are Level fives, the highest accreditation available.
And both candidates say that, while they are proud of the fact that some of the schools in the district are at the top, they want to see that same level of success across the board.
"We have made student achievement a priority. We start at the basic level down in the elementary with reading, language and math," Little said. "Then you go into the middle school and make that a priority, and then in the high school you make it a priority."
"We will form a plan of action on how we are going to maintain our Level fives, and certainly we want to move up any school that may be a Level three or four," said Hodges. "And our goal is for all of our schools to be a Level five in the future."
The winner of the Republican primary will face independent Lamar Johnson in the November 6 general election.

Volume 31, Issue 1, January 1990
Quadratic alternative algebras31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528861View Description Hide Description
Quadratic alternative algebras are completely classified, up to isomorphism, by means of the associated set of ''vectors.'' They include the quaternion and octonion algebras, but also many other nonassociative algebras used in physics.
Extended BRST quantization of gauge theories in the generalized canonical formalism31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528828View Description Hide Description
The rules of canonical quantization of gauge theories are formulated on the basis of the extended BRST symmetry principle. The existence of solutions of the generating equations of the gauge algebra is proved. Equivalence between the extended BRST quantization and the standard method of generalized canonical quantization is established. Ward identities corresponding to invariance of a theory under the extended BRST symmetry are obtained.
Superfield and matrix realizations of highest weight representations for osp(m/2n)31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528852View Description Hide Description
A differential representation of the classical Lie superalgebra osp(m/2n) acting on superfield functions is given. This representation is used to construct matrix representations of the finite‐dimensional irreducible representations of the algebra. Inner products on the irreducible spaces are discussed and classes of star and grade‐star equivalent representations are identified.
On generalization of the Sinai theorem in the random site problem31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528878View Description Hide Description
The Sinai theorem is generalized to determine the transformations that preserve the critical concentration P c and the critical exponent β in the random site problem.
Wavelet analysis on the circle31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528825View Description Hide Description
The construction of a wavelet analysis over the circle is presented. The spaces of infinitely times differentiable functions, tempered distributions, and square integrable functions over the circle are analyzed by means of the wavelet transform.
Chern–Simons forms on principal superfiber bundles31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528826View Description Hide Description
A graded Weil homomorphism is defined for principal superfiber bundles and the related transgression (or Chern–Simons) forms are introduced. As an example of the application of these concepts, a ''superextension'' of the Dirac monopole is discussed.
Space‐time geometry of relativistic particles31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528827View Description Hide Description
A three‐dimensional space‐time geometry of relativistic particles is constructed within the framework of the little groups of the Poincaré group. Since the little group for a massive particle is the three‐dimensional rotation group, its relevant geometry is a sphere. For massless particles and massive particles in the infinite‐momentum limit, it is shown that the geometry is that of a cylinder and a two‐dimensional plane. The geometry of a massive particle continuously becomes that of a massless particle as the momentum/mass becomes large. The geometry of relativistic extended particles is also considered. It is shown that the cylindrical geometry leads to the concept of gauge transformations, while the two‐dimensional Euclidean geometry leads to a deeper understanding of the Lorentz condition.
Scattering of waves from a random spherical surface—Mie scattering31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.529029View Description Hide Description
The stochastic theory developed by the authors for the scattering from a random planar surface is extended to the case of a random spherical surface, which is assumed to be a homogeneous random field on the sphere, homogeneous with respect to spherical rotations. Based on the group‐theoretical analogies between the two, the formulation of the theory is closely connected to the representation theory of the rotation group. The concept of the ''stochastic'' spherical harmonics associated with the rotation group and their several formulas are introduced and discussed at the beginning. For the plane wave incident on a random spherical surface, the scattered random wave field can be expanded systematically in terms of the stochastic spherical harmonics in much the same way as the nonrandom case, and several formulas are derived for the coherent scattering amplitude, the coherent and incoherent power flows, and the coherent and incoherent scattering cross sections. The power‐flow conservation law is cast into the stochastic version of the optical theorem stating that the total scattering cross section consisting of the coherent and incoherent power flow is equal to the imaginary part of the coherent forward‐scattering amplitude. Approximate solutions are obtained for the Mie scattering with a slightly random spherical surface where the single scattering approximation is valid due to the absence of a real resonance, as shown in the previous work on the two‐dimensional case. Some numerical calculations are made for the coherent and incoherent scattering cross sections.
The trivialization of constraints in quantum theory (working in a general gauge/parametrization)31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528829View Description Hide Description
A way is found to trivialize and so deal with constraints in a gauge invariant manner.
Reduction, quantization, and nonunimodular groups31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528830View Description Hide Description
It is shown that even in relatively nice cases the naive approach to the quantization of constraints is not correct in general [i.e., the procedure that if f=0 is a classical constraint and τ(f) is the associated quantum operator, then the quantum constraint is τ(f)=0]. An explicit procedure for the quantization of constraints in the case of a configuration space with a symmetry group is provided and proven, where the reduced configuration space is the orbit space. It is not thought that the group acts freely, merely that all isotropy subgroups are conjugated to each other.
Unitary measurements of discrete quantities in quantum mechanics31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528831View Description Hide Description
The pure measurements of discrete physical quantities are characterized within quantum theory of measurement and their unitary representations are given. Probabilistic aspects of measurements related to the so‐called strong correlation conditions and a probabilistic characterization of the first kind measurements are examined. The problem of the objectification of the measurement result is analyzed in terms of a classical behavior of the measuring apparatus. As a by‐product a generalization of the Wigner–Araki–Yanase theorem is given.
Variational and perturbative schemes for a spiked harmonic oscillator31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528832View Description Hide Description
A variational analysis of the spiked harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian operator −d 2/ d x 2+x 2+l(l+1)/x 2+λ‖x‖−α , where α is a real positive parameter, is reported in this work. The formalism makes use of the functional space spanned by the solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the linear harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian supplemented by a Dirichlet boundary condition, and a standard procedure for diagonalizing symmetric matrices. The eigenvalues obtained by increasing the dimension of the basis set provide accurate approximations for the ground state energy of the model system, valid for positive and relatively large values of the coupling parameter λ. Additionally, a large coupling perturbative expansion is carried out and the contributions up to fourth‐order to the ground state energy are explicitly evaluated. Numerical results are compared for the special case α=5/2.
Some remarks on the Feynman–Kac formula31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.529030View Description Hide Description
A simple necessary condition for the existence of the representation of solutions of partial differential equations is found. This condition is applied to obtain the known results on the Schrödinger equation and the Dirac system in a unified way. Applications for further equations are also possible (Weyl's equations are discussed).
Singular anharmonicities and the analytic continued fractions. II. The potentials V(r)=a r 2+b r − 4+c r − 631(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528867View Description Hide Description
The c=0 results of Paper I [J. Math. Phys. 3 0, 23 (1989)] are extended. In spite of the presence of an additional coupling constant, the Laurent series solutions of the Schrödinger equation that are obtained remain similar to Mathieu functions. Indeed, the recurrences for coefficients preserve their three‐term character, their analytic continued fraction solutions still converge, etc. The formulas become even slightly simpler for c≠0 due to a certain symmetry of the equations to be solved. An acceleration of convergence is better understood and a few numerical illustrations of efficiency are also delivered.
Quantization of bi‐Hamiltonian systems31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528868View Description Hide Description
One of the distinguishing features of soliton equations is the fact that they can be written in Hamiltonian form in more than one way. Here we compare the different quantized versions of the soliton equations arising in the AKNS inverse scattering scheme. It is found that, when expressed in terms of the scattering data, both quantized versions are essentially identical.
The Yang–Baxter equations and differential identities31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528869View Description Hide Description
The solution of the Yang–Baxter equation for integrable systems is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a differential identity. Quantum integration formulas for the calculation of commutators of monodromy matrices are given. Based on the integration formulas and the systematic use of differential identities, the Yang–Baxter equations for the nonlinear Schrödinger model for the quantum case of both bosons and fermions are derived. The case for discrete models is also included. The parallelism between the classical and quantum case and the classical limiting process from the latter to the former are discussed.
Harmonic analysis of directing fields31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528870View Description Hide Description
The structure of a directing field is determined by the projective structure of space‐time and by various tensor (force) fields. Given a sufficient variety of such directing fields, which can be measured directly given only the ability to track material bodies with respect to an arbitrary coordinate system, it is shown how the projective and tensor fields involved can be determined (and hence measured). This method employs the technique of harmonic analysis on the forward unit hyperboloid. For the important and physically relevant case of an electromagnetic directing field, the projective structure and the electromagnetic field tensor can be determined using only o n e class of charged monopoles characterized by a given charge‐to‐mass ratio. The method also provides a new empirical criterion for determining whether or not a directing field is geodesic.
On Chandrasekhar's perturbation analysis. I. The superfluity of the N.P. system31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528871View Description Hide Description
Chandrasekhar has developed a method of analyzing first‐order perturbations about some known metrics using the N.P. system of equations. In this paper it is shown that some of the intriguing aspects that have been noted in his method—the superfluity of the N.P. system, and the existence of very complicated integral identities—are not peculiar to this particular type of perturbation analysis; rather the underlying principles are fundamental properties associated with the differential structure of the N.P. system. Specifically the three different subsystems used in the three space‐times where Chandrasekhar's method has been applied, are confirmed directly as sufficient subsystems for extracting all information from the complete N.P. system, for the respective situations in which they have been used.
Ricci and contracted Ricci collineations of the Robertson–Walker space‐time31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528872View Description Hide Description
Ricci collineations and contracted Ricci collineations of the Robertson–Walker metric, associated with a vector field of the form ξ=(ξ0(t,r),ξ1(t,r),0,0) are presented.
General exact solution for homogeneous time‐dependent self‐gravitating perfect fluids31(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.528873View Description Hide Description
A procedure to obtain the general exact solution of Einstein equations for a self‐gravitating spherically symmetric static perfect fluid obeying an arbitrary equation of state is applied to time‐dependent Kantowski–Sachs line elements (with spherical, planar, and hyperbolic symmetry). As in the static case, the solution is generated by an arbitrary function of the independent variable and its first derivative. To illustrate the results, the whole family of (plane‐symmetric) solutions with a ''gamma‐law'' equation of state is explicitly obtained in terms of simple known functions. It is also shown that, while in the static plane‐symmetric line element, every metric is in one to one correspondence with a ''partner metric'' (both originated from the same generatrix function); in this case every generatrix function uniquely determines one metric.

Amazonia is the favourite enclosure for many of our visitors as it gives them such a natural "jungle" feel. It was opened in 2006 in the former free flight aviary. A steel mesh dome encloses a South American wonderland of mammals and birds, and visitors are able to stroll through mature trees and plants which offer shelter and sustenance to the inhabitants.
The cheekiest residents are a troop of very active and inquisitive squirrel monkeys. They love nothing better than a pocket or pushchair to investigate if given the opportunity! They sleep in an indoor facility adjoining the enclosure overnight, but love to climb through the branches and along ropes all day long.
White faced saki monkeys and little black Goeldis also reside in the enclosure, but tend to be more reserved and not so easy to spot.
Various species of birds also live in Amazonia, including ducks, Amazon parrots and black Curassow, large birds with a distinctive yellow "quiff" which likens them to Elvis!

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, winner of several national and international awards, suggests that an award should be instituted to honour the best award show.
"Methinks there should be an award for the best award show put up... and the judges - those that have won awards through the years," Amitabh tweeted Sunday.
The 70-year-old enjoys attending award ceremonies as they are "great fun".
"Award ceremonies are great fun, the anticipation of the announcement, the build up to the name being disclosed, the applause when it does, the walk up to the podium... The greetings for the one giving it... The speech after... The walk down and back... The change of direction to the room of 'bites'. TV and still photographs... Some pleasantries for other colleagues," Big B posted on his blog srbachchan.tumblr.com.
But with all the enjoyment and fun, the award functions also bring some fear.
"Great fear though of attending such shows... The uncertainty of which expression of yours they shall cut and paste for which moment for TV," he posted.
Amitabh received a special award at the 19th Annual Colors Screen Awards Saturday night. He was selected as Iconic Legend through an all-India poll.

Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

For the record, I'm bi. I ride both a bent and a DF. Not at the same time, silly.
If I were a woman or a gay male, I would have the hots for Fabian Cancellara. If I could get a body transplant from anyone, it would be him.

What was that Contador said about tainted meat?
As for gay cyclists, I'm not aware that any cyclists I know personally are gay (it's not something I tend to ask people, because it makes no difference to me), but use another forum where two of the female members are reasonably open about being in a relationship with each other.

Who could possibly care??
I wonder if the % is higher or lower than the GP, i'll put $10 on higher
Assume nothing; Question everything
So anyway, this is a good question, and sort of a dumb question. People ride bikes, so it would figure that some of them would be gay. Or straight.
Some of my gay and lesbian friends/acquaintances ride bikes. Some seriously in spandex, some casually in cut-offs.
I think it would be a good thing if someone were to come out in the Peloton. Is there some sort of code of silence about homosexuality in professional cycling? Is it homophobia? Or is the Pro Roadie Class just so evolved that it doesn't mean anything?

Who isn't gay is the more important question nowadays...NTTAWWT!

Have we not yet figured out that a peloton full of cheating dopers are not good role models?
I know a few openly gay cyclists and racers. The street/hipster/fixie crowd around here is full of them too, you'd probably get a ton of positive answers if you asked this on the fixed gear forum.
Important... ? No. Interesting... Perhaps. But as you say, in the greater scheme of things it scarcely matters
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
Immanuel Kant
Ask a group of cyclist if there are any gay cyclist and they will probably say no. Ask anyone from the NFL if there are any gay cyclist and you will probably get a different answer.
Some day in the future, folks will find this thread and wonder why we spent so much time discussing this mundane topic.
Why isn't this in the 217 any way?
Telemachus has, indeed, sneezed.
Given the relatively poor odds of winning, I doubt very many are gay. Most are likely sad, at least at the end of the race. [
