Method for analyzing the driving behavior of motor vehicles

In order to improve the shelflife of tonometered fluids containing at least one dissolved gas component and being packaged in a flexible container, a gas phase containing at least the dissolved gas component of the fluid is additionally introduced into the flexible container. The volume of the tonometered fluid and the volume of the gas phase together amounting to less than the maximum filling volume of the flexible container, which is collapsed when it is empty but unfolding when it is being filled.

Method for analyzing the driveability of motor vehicles

A device for withdrawing a liquid from a sealed glass ampoule includes a frame holding the sealed glass ampoule in upright or slightly inclined position, such that a tip of the ampoule points upwardly. An element is provided which will press or knock against the side of the tip or neck of the ampoule in order to break the tip of the ampoule in the region of the neck. The device further includes a withdrawing element which can be introduced into the glass ampoule in an area between the bottom of the ampoule and the surface of the liquid therein, and which includes a cannula for withdrawing the liquid.

A method for analyzing the driving behavior of motor vehicle wherein a car's driveability is measured easily on a test stand by conducting tests with an actual vehicle to obtain measurement variables describing driving behavior; then defining at least one rating (Dr) indicating the car's driveability as a function of one or more measurement variables; then preparing a simulation model to represent dependencies between the individual measurement variables and, in particular, to compute the rating (Dr) from a set of predefined measurement variables which can be obtained both from the actual vehicle and on a test stand; and then calibrating a dynamic test stand with the use of the simulation model.

For quality control of packaged organic substances, preferably packaged foods and drugs, the materials to be examined are brought into contact with a planar optical sensor element which is applied on the inside of the wrapping and responds to a change in the gas composition in the gas space above the sample by a change in color or fluorescence. The change of one of the optical properties of the sensor element is detected visually or opto-electronically.

Device for withdrawing body fluids

A device designed for determining one or more medical variables in living organisms, comprises a part to be inserted into the tissue of the organism, which has an exchange channel with openings into the tissue. The device comprising a delivery unit connected with the exchange channel for the delivery of a perfusion fluid and its drainage after partial equilibration with the medical variable or quantity to be measured, i.e., preferably glucose concentration, and comparatively constant endogenous or exogenous marker variables. The device further comprising an analyzing unit for measuring the medical variable and one marker variable, and an evaluation unit for determining the actual concentration of the medical variable with the use of the marker variables. The proposal is put forward that the part to be inserted into the tissue is configured as a flexible plastic cannula, and that this cannula is provided with a puncturing needle on one end, and that the two ends of the cannula are connected to feeder and drainage tubes of the delivery unit both on the pressure and suction side.

Due to the size of the devices used for the excitation and measuring of light, conventional sensor elements for optically determining the concentrations of substances contained in gaseous and liquid samples, featuring an indicator layer with one or more indicator substances, are not well suited for use with microanalysis equipment, nor are they easy to mass-produce. These disadvantages are eliminated by integrating on the carrier layer (1) at least one photosensitive element (3) and its electric contact leads in planar arrangement, and by establishing optical contact between the indicator substance (7, 7') of the indicator layer (6) stimulated by the excitation radiation (11), and the photosensitive elements (3).

Sensor element for determination of concentration of substances

In order to produce a small-volume flow measuring cell with good flow characteristics in a sensor device for determining the concentration of a substrate in a sample medium, comprising an enzyme electrode which is covered by a membrane and a reference electrode, both of which are in contact with the measuring cell, the proposal is put forward that the reference electrode be located outside of the membrane cover of the enzyme electrode and that the maximum extension of the flow measuring cell normal to the flow direction of the sample medium essentially be the same as the diameter of the sensitive layer of the enzyme electrode.

Sensor device

In order to improve a one-way measuring element, which may be inserted into an analyzer for analyzing gaseous or liquid samples and which comprises a measuring channel with a measuring zone and one or more sensors located therein, the proposal is put forward that the one-way measuring element be provided with a sensor part whose measuring channel has seals on both ends, and with a sample-taking part, and that a coupling element be placed at the inlet end of the measuring channel for direct coupling of the sample-taking part containing the gaseous or liquid sample, and that the measuring channel be filled with a calibrating and storage medium prior to the measuring process, and that the calibrating and storage medium contained in the measuring channel be displaced by the sample flowing in after the sample-taking part has been coupled to the sensor part. The one-way measuring elements obtained in this way are characterized by great simplicity of design and ease of handling.

One-way measuring element

An analyzing apparatus primarily designed for the analysis of body fluids, includes a feeding device, a measuring unit formed by a string of measuring cells linked by a channel, and a waste disposal unit for removal of the samples analyzed. Such an analyzing apparatus may be tailored to suit specific purposes by providing the measuring unit, or at least parts thereof, as modular units, which can directly be coupled to the feeding device and the waste disposal unit via a separate control block.
