Granted: 2010-07-06
Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing thin-film structures disposed on a substrate(14). The thin-film structures have different respective thicknesses that vary along a radius of the substrate (14). A substrate (14) rotates about an axis of rotation and a source of deposited material is directed at the rotating substrate. A mask (20) having a stepped profile is positioned between the rotating substrate (14) and the source. The stepped mask (20) selectively blocks material emanating from the source from reaching the substrate. Each step of the profile of the mask (20) corresponds to one of the respective thicknesses of the thin-film structures. The radius along which the different respective thicknesses of the film-thin structures vary is measured from the axis of rotation of the rotating substrate.

Abstract: A core biopsy device comprises an outer cutting cannula in telescoping register with an inner spoon cannula. The outer cutting cannula is provided at a distal end with an arcuate excising blade that is biased radially inwardly to extend beyond the longitudinal axis of the cannula. The inner spoon cannula terminates at a distal end in an arcuate wall to form a biopsy sample spoon for supporting a biopsy sample thereon. The outer cutting cannula can be rotated relative to the inner spoon cannula so that the excising blade can excise the biopsy sample from the surrounding tissue. After removal of the core biopsy device from the tissue, the outer cutting cannula can be retracted away from the inner spoon cannula to reveal the biopsy sample and enable the sample to be removed from the biopsy device in a relatively undisturbed condition.

Abstract: A rib cage retractor for game hunters comprises a bar clamp/spreader as is known in the art, such a tool has an end piece which is removable and that, when placed on the opposite end of the bar, acts as a spreader. Since the typical bar clamp is generally aimed at carpentry projects, it has been found necessary to modify the pads of the clamping means with more appropriate pads. The modified pads generally comprise a fork engageable into the split sternum of a cut ribcage. Optionally, a light source to light the interior of the rib cage, as is found in some of the prior art, can be incorporated in the ratcheting handle.

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à un connecteur Luer mâle auto-étanche (20) comportant un corps mâle tubulaire (30) et un embout élastique en élastomère (38) disposé à l'extrémité distale (50) du corps mâle tubulaire. L'embout en élastomère présente une dimension transversale (44) qui est supérieure à la dimension d'un connecteur femelle (42) et une forme qui est différente de la forme femelle de sorte que l'engagement des deux va entraîner une nouvelle conformation de l'embout mâle en forme de canal d'écoulement femelle et le mâle va créer un joint d'étanchéité avec le canal. L'embout mâle est formé avec une fente (40) et une âme creuse (56) qui assure un passage d'écoulement formé dans le corps mâle. Au fur et à mesure de la nouvelle conformation entraînée par l'engagement avec le connecteur femelle, la fente s'ouvre pour établir un écoulement fluidique à travers le connecteur mâle. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'embout mâle est surdimensionné dans toutes les dimensions transversales et forme un joint d'étanchéité bord à bord avec le connecteur femelle lors d'un premier contact. L'extrémité proximale (52) du connecteur mâle peut être agencée sous la forme d'un connecteur femelle classique, ou d'un dispositif de prélèvement sanguin (122), ou analogue. Le corps mâle peut présenter une conformation Luer.

Title: Method for detecting or enriching a target microorganism upon lysis of non-target bacteria with bacteriophage
Inventor: STAVE JAMES W
IPC: C12Q1/10
Filed: 2005-10-31
Granted: 2014-10-28
Abstract: Compositions containing bacteriophages and methods of using bacteriophages in microorganisms detection assays and microbial growth and plating media are disclosed. The lytic ability of these phages to control the growth of non-target populations provides superior sensitivity and specificity to detection assays and reduces false negative and false positive results. The removal of contaminating bacteria reduces the microbial competition for nutrients in the growth media thereby increasing the efficiency and productivity of the culture. The phage treatment of the sample increases the proportion of target microorganisms in the sample over contaminating bacteria thereby requiring less time for enrichment to obtain a significant signal improving overall signal to noise ratio in assays and providing for higher yield of end product in microbiological production systems.
