Abstract: Dipstick tests for detecting analyte are described. In a preferred embodiment, a multiple biotinylated antibody capable of binding analyte is bound to an anti-biotin antibody labelled with colloidal gold and wicked up the dipstick with test solution thought to contain analyte. Complex formed between analyte, biotinylated anti-analyte antibody, and colloidal gold labelled anti-biotin antibody is captured at a capture zone of the dipstick. Presence of colloidal gold label at the capture zone indicates the presence of analyte in the test solution. The sensitivity of analyte detection using such methods is an order of magnitude higher than for comparable methods in which biotinylated anti-analyte antibody bound to analyte is wicked up the dipstick in a first step, and a colloidal gold labelled anti-biotin antibody is wicked up the dipstick in a separate step. Kits for performing the tests of the invention are also described.

Abstract: Sludge treatment process, where sludge to which a flocculating agent has been added is stirred by a stirring pump (2) or shear-stirred by a liquid shear-stirred (20) prior to initiation of flocculation reaction to render the flocculating agent in a fine particulate state to thereby disperse, diffuse or distribute the flocculating agent in a fine particulate state throughout the sludge, so that flocks or aggregate structure type flocks or blocks can be efficiently formed. A treating line (1) is constructed such that the sludge can flow therein as a laminar flow. The distance from a flocculating agent injection part (3) to a stirring pump (2) is made to as distance of approximately 0.2-0.6m such that the flocculating agent can pass through in a reaction initiation time obtained in advance for the flocculating agent. A solid-liquid separator is set at a position 0.2-0.6m from the stirring pump or a second flocculating agent injection point so that the flocks can reside by the solid-liquid separator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A coated chewing gum element about 25 to 99.9% by weight of a chewing gum centre having at least one environmentally degradable elastomeric or resinous polymer and about 0.1 to 75% by weight of an outer coating and processes for providing the chewing gum. The outer coating is a hard sugar or sugarless coating, a film coating or a soft coating. The application of an outer coating prevents degradation of the degradable polymers prior to chewing due to physical or chemical effects, thereby improving the shelf life of the environmentally degradable chewing gum. After chewing, the chewing gum will degrade in the environment and can be removed more readily than chewing gum based on non-degradable polymers.

Abstract: When an ad hoc network is formed between short range wireless devices, at least one device assumes the role of an ad hoc network information provider for the new piconet. In this role, the device allocates a browsing hierarchy of service classes in its service registry. The service classes will provide a record to characterize the ad hoc network. When a new wireless device arrives within the communication range of any member of the ad hoc network, its inquiry signals are answered by the first member detecting the inquiry. If that first member is an ad hoc network information provider, it responds with information accessed from its service registry characterizing the ad hoc network. If, instead, an ordinary device in the ad hoc network is the first to respond to the inquiry signals of the arriving device, the device responds with the address of the ad hoc network information provider. The arriving device then pages the ad hoc network information provider to obtain information characterizing the ad hoc network.
