摘要： A filtration based biological specimen collection and transfer device is provided. The filtration and transfer device comprises a tubular body with two axial ends, an annular flange disposed at one of the axial ends, and a biological specimen filter affixed to the outer surface of the annular flange. Preferably, the annular flange has disposed on its outer surface an annular ridge having a uniform height and forming a planar rim upon which the filter sits. Optionally, the annular flange comprises two mounting portions and the filter is bonded to each of those mounting portions. A method of collecting microscopic biological particles carried in a fluid is provided using the filtration and transfer device and a method of manufacturing the filtration and transfer device are also provided. A filtration based biological specimen collection and transfer system using the filtration and transfer device and a kit for use with filtration based biological specimen collection and transfer systems are also provided.

摘要： A brush holder for engaging the body of a paint brush, keeping the bristles of the paint brush from being distorted while immersed in a container of paint or solvent. The paint brush holder includes a hollow, elongated, generally rectangular shell with projections for engaging and holding the paint brush disposed in the interior of the shell. The projections are inwardly directed, flexible, stepped and disposed in rows. The handle of the paint brush may be inserted in one end of the holder and pushed into the projections or the holder may be opened to accommodate insertion.

摘要： A spring-biased latching mechanism eliminates the use of brackets and screws to retain expansion cards or electronic circuit boards in computers or similar information handling systems. The spring-biased latching mechanism has a latching member that is cammed out of the path of a computer expansion card as the card is inserted into the computer housing; the latching or retention member may be pushed to a fully retracted or withdrawn position and latched, thus removing the latching member from interference with the expansion card and permitting easy removal of the expansion card. The spring-biased latching member is provided with a groove to provide guidance to the expansion card during insertion and may stabilize the card whenever the latching member is extended to retain the expansion card in position relative to a computer motherboard. Elimination of the screws and brackets prevents any potential damage to the electronics of the computer resultant from dropped screws or bracket contact and any subsequent damage to electronic circuit boards in the computer. The spring-biased latching mechanism also greatly improves the speed of assembly and/or disassembly.
