Title: A spacer and associated apparatus and method
Inventor: HOESLI MICHAEL
IPC: E04B2/86
Filed: 2006-12-08
Abstract: The spacer 1 defines a body (2) having two opposed sides (3) and (4). The body (2) defines a separation distance between the opposed sides (3) and (4) for use as a spacer intermediate at least two concrete containment panels (5) and (6). Various preferred embodiments have separation distances suitable for forming walls having concrete thicknesses of 50mm, 120mm or 150mm, for example. Each of the opposed sides (3) and (4) include fastening means (7) and (8) adapted for fastening of a cladding panel (16) disposed external to the concrete containment panels (5) and (6), as shown for example in figures (32) and (33). To counter bulging of the concrete containment panels (5) due to the weight of the concrete a brace (49) adapted for fastening engagement with the spacers (1) may be used, as shown in figures (50) to (55). The brace 49 includes an abutment member (50) for abutment with the concrete containment panels (5). A plurality of fastening means (51) are disposed on the abutment member (50) for fastening engagement with spacers (1). The fastening means (51) each define a leading portion (52) and a trailing portion (53). As shown for example in figure (50), the leading portion (52) has a width greater than a width of the trailing portion (53). A pair of opposed lips (54) and (55) are disposed on the leading portion (52). To fasten the abutment member (50) of the brace (49) to the spacers (1), the leading portion (52) of the fastening means (51) is inserted between a pair of projections {9 and 10} on the spacer.  Once the lips (54) and (55) clear the projections (9) and (10), the projections resiliently snap toward their resting position and engage the trailing portion (53) so as to fasten the abutment member (50) to the spacer (1). This is repeated with other spacers (1) as required until the abutment member (50) provides the desired level of support to counter bulging of the concrete containment panels (5).

Inventor: BARR JOHN R
IPC: C12N9/00
Filed: 2007-02-15
Abstract: One major problem in diagnosis methods presently available for anthrax is that these methods require several days to produce a result. The only existing treatment for anthrax requires administration soon after infection at a time when patients are exhibiting only mild flu- like symptoms. Thus, a patient may be days beyond the time when treatment would be effective by the time a diagnosis is made. The present invention reduces diagnosis time to as little as four hours providing same day identification of anthrax radically increasing the odds of delivering proper treatment and patient recovery. The rapid identification of anthrax lethal factor activity exhibited by the instant invention is also amenable to in vivo screening protocols for the discovery and development of anthrax vaccines and lethal factor inhibitors. The instant invention isolates and concentrates lethal factor and lethal toxin from nearly any biological sample. By capitalizing on the endopeptidase activity of lethal factor the present invention amplifies output signals producing reliable detection of picomolar concentrations of lethal factor. The instant invention involves novel purification and detection techniques and substrates for rapid, reproducible, and quantitative measurements of anthrax lethal factor in biological samples.
