    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus for conducting a variety of assays for the determination of analytes in liquid samples, and relates to the methods for such assays. In particular, the invention relates to a single-use cartridge designed to be adaptable to a variety of real-time assay protocols, preferably assays for the determination of analytes in biological samples using immunosensors or other ligand/ligand receptor-based biosensor embodiments. The cartridge provides novel features for processing a metered portion of a sample, for precise and flexible control of the movement of a sample or second fluid within the cartridge, for the amending of solutions with additional compounds during an assay, and for the construction of immunosensors capable of adaptation to diverse analyte measurements. The disclosed device and methods of use enjoy substantial benefits over the prior art, including simplicity of use by an operator, rapid in situ determinations of one or more analytes, and single-use methodology that minimizes the risk of contamination of both operator and patient. The disclosed invention is adaptable to the point-of-care clinical diagnostic field, including use in accident sites, emergency rooms, surgery, nursing homes, intensive care units, and non-medical environments.

    摘要: An amphibious vehicle for land and water use comprises a main mono hull section and a pair of port and starboard sponsons which are movable from a stowed position under a main vehicle deck adjacent to the mono hull and a fully deployed position in which the sponsons are spaced apart from the mono hull by at least one hull width. The sponsons are each pivotally connected to the main hull by means of a pair of respective arms which together with the sponson and the hull define a parallel type four bar linkage. The sponsons stabilise the vehicle on water and are readily stowed to allow vehicle mobility on land.

    摘要: A sensor system that detects a current representative of a compound in a liquid mixture features a two-electrode strip adapted for releasable attachment to signal readout circuitry. The strip comprises an elongated support (preferably flat) adapted for releasable attachment to the readout circuitry; a first conductor and a second conductor each extend along the support and comprise means for connection to the circuitry. An active electrode, positioned to contact the liquid mixture and the first conductor, comprises a single layer deposit of an enzyme capable of catalyzing a reaction involving the compound, a conductive material, and an electron mediator, capable of transferring electrons between the enzyme-catalyzed reaction and the first conductor. A reference electrode is positioned to contact the mixture and the second conductor. The system includes circuitry adapted to provide an electrical signal representative of the current. The two-electrode strip is manufactured, e.g., by screen printing, an admixture of an enzyme a conductive material, and a mediator as a single layer onto the substrate.
