    摘要: A method of determining the presence or absence of a target microorganism in a sample to be tested, the method comprising: (a) combining with the sample an amount of bacteriophage capable of attaching to the target microorganism to create a bacteriophage-exposed sample; (b) providing conditions to the bacteriophage-exposed sample sufficient to allow the bacteriophage to attach to the target microorganism while inhibiting phage replication in a potentially cross-reactive, non-target microorganism; and (c) assaying the bacteriophage-exposed sample to detect the presence or absence of a bacteriophage marker to determine the presence or absence of the target microorganism; wherein the amount of the bacteriophage is between 10% to 70% of the threshold number of bacteriophage that the assay can detect, or between 1×106 pfu/mL and 7×106 pfu/mL.

    摘要: A sleeve assembly for sanding a piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder or the like comprises a rigid annular outer member, a resilient annular intermediate member adhesively secured to the inner surface of the outer member, and an abrasive annular inner member adhesively secured to the inner surface of the intermediate member for interference contact with the piston rod. The sections of the annular members each have complementary nonaxial end configurations to prevent scoring of the piston rod during axial movement. Clamp means releasably engages the members around the piston rod. In some embodiments, bracket or angle bar means are utilized to releasably secure the sleeve assembly to structure at the end of the cylinder. In another embodiment, the sleeve assembly is releasably clamped directly around the end of the hydraulic cylinder.

    摘要: An elevator connection (22) is provided for joining an elevator car (10) to a hydraulic piston (20) which raises and lowers the elevator car (10). Misalignment between the hydraulic piston (20) and guide rails (14) of an elevator shaft (12) is accommodated by a washer assembly (28) and cushion assembly (30) disposed between a stud bolt (32) and the top of the hydraulic piston (20). Washer assembly (28) includes an elastomeric disc (34) together with springs (36) which enclose a tubular washer (42) having a convex lower end surface. Cushion assembly (30) comprises an elastomeric disc (46) with springs (48) on either side thereof and enclosing a wobble tube (54) having convex end surfaces (56, 58). The elevator car (10) is held securely to the hydraulic piston (20) but is permitted to offset slightly from the piston (20) and tilt to accommodate misalignment of elevator guide rails (14) with the hydraulic piston (20).

    摘要: A muffler for reducing fluid flow noise in a hydraulic system comprises a cylindrical elastomer insert having multiple reinforced flow ports with different diameter porting, internal air chambers, and cast from an elastomer mixed with hollow glass spheres to form an insert of 40 percent air by volume. The insert is placed within a housing and connected to the hydraulic pipe assembly for receiving fluid under pressure and diverting it through the multiple flow ports of the insert wherein flow sounds, pump surges, and flushing noises of the hydraulic system are muffled by the disruption of the flow through the flow ports, the absorption by the internal air chambers, and the absorption by microspheres created by the hollow glass spheres in the elastomer insert.

    摘要: An elastomeric O-ring seal (10) for sealing between a housing (20) and a shaft (22). The seal (10) defines an inner sealing surface (12) and an outer sealing surface (14) having a generally uniform non-deformed radius of curvature in cross section. An upper protrusion (16) and a lower protrusion (18) extend outward of a circle defined by this radius in cross section to prevent the seal (10) from rolling when placed in sealing engagement with the housing (20) and shaft (22). This reduces the wear on the seal (10) and permits a longer surface life.

    摘要: A method for detecting one or more target bacteria in a raw sample where: 1) bacteriophage(s) specific to each target bacterium are added to the raw sample, 2) the test sample is incubated, and 3) the test sample is tested for the presence of each phage in sufficient numbers to indicate the presence of the associated target bacteria in the raw sample. In one embodiment, each phage is initially added to the raw sample in concentrations below the detection limit of the final phage detection process. In another embodiment, the parent phages are tagged in such a way that they can be separated from the progeny phage prior to the detection process. Preferred phage detection processes are immunoassay methods utilizing antibodies that bind specifically to each phage. Antibodies can be used that bind to the protein capsid of the phage. Alternatively, the phage can by dissociated after the incubation process and the sample tested for the presence of individual capsid proteins or phage nucleic acids. The invention can be used to test target bacteria for antibiotic resistance.

    摘要: A predetermined amount of parent bacteriophage capable of infecting a target microorganism is added to a sample to create a bacteriophage-exposed sample; the sample is incubated for a defined incubation time and assayed to determine the level of a bacteriophage or bacterial marker in the sample; and if the measured marker level has increased, then the initial concentration of the microorganism exceeds a specific threshold value. An antibiotic in different concentrations is added to different and separate portions of the sample and tested to determine if the bacteriophage marker is present and thereby determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of a given antibiotic. The antibiotic preferably is an antibiotic that inhibits DNA replication or protein synthesis.
