Abstract: An improved rapid diagnostic device, assay and multifunctional buffer reagent are provided for the detection of a target analyte in a fluid test sample. The 2-step assay utilizes a dual component flow-through device comprising a test unit and a dried indicator reagent delivery unit capable of receiving the fluid sample and multifunctional buffer, respectively. The test unit comprises a reaction zone containing immobilized capture reagent that can specifically bind to the target analyte, an absorbent zone supporting the reaction zone, and optionally, a blood separation zone in lateral fluid communication with the reaction zone. The dried indicator reagent delivery unit comprises a label zone permeated with a dried indicator reagent which is capable of being placed in transient fluid communication with the reaction zone of the test unit during the assay procedure. The rapid diagnostic assay system reduces the number of assay reagents, method steps and time required for performance compared to other conventional assays.

A diameter of the respective water spray holes (9a, 9b) is not less than 0.1 mm and not more than 0.5 mm, and an entire aperture area thereof is not more than 30 mm<2>. With this arrangement, since the entire aperture area of the water spray holes (9a, 9b) is reduced, it is possible to achieve water-saving effects. Moreover, since the water spray holes (9a, 9b) are small and provided by a plurality of numbers, the flow of water sprayed from the respective water spray holes (9a, 9b) is large to feel some strength hitting the skin and to achieve expansion of shower water so that the sense of using the shower may be satisfied. Moreover, since a plurality of small water spray holes (9a, 9b) is formed, a larger number of minus ion can be generated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A track system and methods of use that facilitate the optimization of the leased area space for antenna and transceiver installation sites. The track system advantageously minimizes lease area space requirements while maximizing transmission capacity of transceiver installations by enabling the installation of more transceiver units or cabinets in the same amount of space previously required for fewer traditional transceiver cabinets. As a result, installation footprints can be custom designed to meet difficult space constraints and additional transceiver cabinets may be installed on existing installation footprints without increasing the leased area's space requirement and renegotiating the lease.
