Abstract: A static or passive spinal alignment device (10) includes a first elongated section (12) and a second elongated section (14) spaced therefrom. The first section (12) and the second section (14) are each dimensioned to buttress a respective side of a patient (36) lying supine on a generally flat surface (20). The side buttressing straightens the alignment of the spine (34) and maintains the spine (34) of the patient (36) in a spaced relationship to the surface (20) between the thoracic vertebra (38) and a sacrum (40) of the spine. Body weight then urges the spine (34) downwardly to reduce lumbar (42) lordosis. Means (18, 22) are provided for attaching the first section (12) to the second section (14) and for supporting each of the first section (12) and the second section (14) on the surface.

Abstract: A method for detecting a specific polynucleotide sequence in a material is disclosed. The method includes exposing said material to an oligonucleotide primer having a sequence complementary to part of said specific polynucleotide sequence wherein said primer binds to part of said polynucleotide sequence when present in said material. Primer bound to the polynucleotide sequence is extended wherein any extended primer includes a detectable element and/or a separation element. Any extended primer is then separated into a fraction wherein said fraction does not have detectable element not included in said extended primer. One then determines whether any extended primer is present in said fraction by assaying said fraction for said extended primer wherein the presence of said extended primer is indicative of the presence of the specific polynucleotide sequence in said material and the absence of said extended primer in said fraction is indicative of the absence of the specific polynucleotide sequence in said material.

Abstract: A linear motor (24) is movable along a substantially flat stator (P). Electrical, mechanical and pneumatic drive sources are coupled to the linear motor through an umbilical cord (C). A strain relief member (36), normally linked to the linear motor, is towed by the linear motor to the desired position along the platen. The strain relief member is then decoupled from the linear motor, and is magnetically (or vacuum) attracted and temporarily "locked" to the platen. A portion of the umbilical cord is clamped to the strain relief member at a point intermediate the ends thereof. The length of umbilical cord between the clamp and the linear motor hangs loosely to provide sufficient "play" between the strain relief member and the linear motor. The strain relief member, being "locked" to the platen isolates any pulling or pushing forces of the umbilical cord from being exerted upon the linear motor thereby enabling the linear motor to retain its precise position. The strain relief member is reconnected to the linear motor after the linear motor completes its function at the desired location and thereafter is towed to the next position by the linear motor. <IMAGE>
