    摘要: A method and an apparatus tests liquids. When the method is implemented, following a reaction of constituents in the liquid with the maximum quantity at least of one free oxidizing agent and/or reagent contained in the liquid, the quantity of oxidizing agent and/or reagent remaining in the liquid is displayed visually as a measure of the quantity of constituents in the liquid reacting with the oxidizing agent and/or reagent. For implementing the method, use is made of a sensor that is configured as a sheet-like structural element and is provided with at least one inlet opening, a sample-accommodating channel, a mechanical pump, a transporting capillary, a detection zone, an emptying channel, and an outlet opening.

    摘要: There is described a capacitive differential pressure sensor made using glass-silicon technology with a diaphragm plate of silicon, which is arranged between two carrier plates consisting of glass. The diaphragm plate has pressure-sensitively deflectable regions, which are respectively provided with a capacitor arrangement. The capacitor arrangement is connected to a measured-value processing device through connecting conductors. To improve the ratio of the measuring capacitances to the parasitic capacitances brought about by the connecting conductors, the diaphragm plate is outside the pressure-sensitively deflectable region the substrate of an electronic circuit which comprises at least one input stage of the measured-value processing device.

    摘要: There is described a differential pressure sensor made using glass-silicon technology with a diaphragm plate arranged between two carrier plates. To achieve a high resolution at the beginning of the measuring range in conjunction with high overload resistance, the measuring diaphragm plate of the sensor has for a prescribed measuring range within the same measuring chambers a plurality of mutually independent deflectable regions as measuring diaphragms. Each such region acts as a part-sensor with a part-measuring range. The part-measuring ranges of the part-sensors overlap and in total are equal to the prescribed measuring range of the differential pressure sensor. The displacement of the measuring diaphragm of each part-sensor is mechanically limited outside its part-measuring range by the carrier plates.

    摘要: A device for examining liquids. A precise examination of liquids has until now only been possible where there are permanently installed evaluation devices. This disadvantage can be avoided with the device for testing liquids. It is equipped with a sensor, which has a measuring device with which any liquid can be examined. The sensor is able to be electrically and mechanically connected to a structural unit which is only slightly larger than a mobile radio telephone. Integrated into the structural unit are an evaluation device and an interface module. The measuring signals of the sensor are registered by the interface module and stored, evaluated and displayed on a display device in the evaluation device.

    摘要: A measuring device for determining the oxygen content in gases is described. The measuring device is disposed between two magnets that are positioned at a distance from one another. The measuring device is equipped with a sensor that is held rotatably within a frame. The sensor has two parallelepipedic bodies that are both made hollow or solid and are connected to one another via a web-shaped structural element. The web-shaped structural element is fastened to the frame via at least one holding element, so that the sensor can be rotated about its center of gravity. The amount of rotation is dependent on the quantity of oxygen that is concentrated between the two magnets. A current can be conducted through a conductor track led on the surface of the sensor and generates a correspondingly high restoring force by which the sensor is brought into the position of rest again.

    摘要: A support element is described which can combine components used in Microsystems technology to form a single unit. Because of the very small dimensions of the support element, it is difficult to keep the components at different temperatures if this is required for them to operate. With the support element, this difficulty is avoided by the fact that at least one thermal insulation device, which shields the plate and the cover of the support element with respect to internal and external environments in certain regions, is provided.

    摘要: A microbial membrane reactor for use in flow systems comprises a first element to receive the microorganisms and a second element to receive the flow channels. The two elements have planar interior surfaces which are pressed together separated by a membrane impervious to the microorganisms. The flow channels arranged in or on the surface of the second element serve to transport the liquid along the membrane so that the liquid can interact with the microorganisms arranged on the other side of the membrane. The geometry of the flow pathway and thus the geometry of the flow channels can be easily altered, in respect of the length, width and height of the channel, and adapted to practical requirements.
