An apparatus for analyzing urine, including: a feeding and discharging device that delivers a quantity of urine into an analysis chamber of a urine test strip and discharges a quantity of urine from an analysis chamber of a urine test strip, the analysis chamber having an analysis zone. The feeding and discharging device includes a movably mounted feeding and/or discharging element for delivering a quantity of urine into a delivery zone in the analysis chamber and/or discharging a quantity of urine from a discharge zone in the analysis chamber. A detection device detects an at least sectoral variation of an optically detectable parameter, which varies in an optically detectable manner in accordance with the composition of a quantity of urine that contacts the analysis zone and produces detection data describing at least one optically detected parameter in the analysis zone or a variation of such a parameter.

The present invention relates to a galvanic element, in particular an element of the button cell type, which has a long service life even when there are high mechanical or thermal loads. The element has a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte, a separator arranged between the anode and cathode, and a housing, which comprises a housing cup, a housing cover and a sealing element, the sealing element insulating the housing cup against the housing cover. According to the invention, the sealing element is rigidly connected to the separator.

An inertial sensor arrangement comprises two electrically restrained gyros with three mutually orthogonal input axes. After A/D-conversion pick-off signals are supplied to a digital computer which forms part of the restraining loop of the gyros and provides digital output signals. The output signals are applied to a D/A-converter which supplies corresponding currents to the torquer of the gyros. Thereby integrating quantization errors are avoided. The cross-coupling behavior and gyro errors can be compensated in the computer. The inertial sensor arrangement can be measured as an entirety. The gyro parameters measured thereby are memorized in an EEPROM and are taken into account in the computer.

A pick-up head for angular incremental transmitter comprises a transmitter portion (14) with luminescence diodes connected to a hybrid circuit. The hybrid circuit is placed in a hybrid housing (24) sealed by a lid with collimator lenses. A detector portion (16) comprises photodiodes on a hybrid circuit, which includes amplifiers for the photodiodes. The hybrid circuit is placed in a hybrid housing (46) the lid forming a stationary grating (64). The hybrid housings are hermetically sealed and supported at a distance from each other. A rotatable disc (10) with a movable grating (18) extends between the hybrid housings.

A target seeking head mounted in the dome of a missile comprises a gyro rotor including a mid-portion forming a convex calotte-shaped peripheral surface. The convex calotte-shaped peripheral surface is surrounded substantially concentrically by a concave calotte-shaped bearing surface stationary with respect to the missile. A small gap is formed between the two surfaces and pressurized gas is introduced into the gap to form a gas bearing centering the gyro in the center of curvature of the convex calotte-shaped peripheral surface thereof. A target seeking scanning device comprises an annular parabolic mirror formed at the mid-portion of the gyro and a plane mirror imaging a field of view located in infinity in the plane of a detector mounted stationary with respect to the missile.

A target seeking device having a gyro rotor rotating about its axis with two degrees of freedom about a central point of rotation. The device includes a detector fixed with respect to the housing of the device, an optical system by which the field of view of the device is imaged in the plane of the detector, means for producing relative motion between the field of view image and the detector, a signal evaluating circuit, means for producing precession motion of the gyro rotor, and position sensors which respond to the angular position of the gyro rotor relative to the housing. A torquer is provided for receipt of scanning signals. The signals of the position sensors are applied to the torquer through a feedback loop. An evaluation circuit is provided for producing follow-up signals from the detector signals and the position sensor signals.
