Title: Electrical connector including thermoplastic elastomer material and associated methods
Inventor: CAWOOD MATTHEW D
IPC: H01R13/504
Filed: 2003-05-16
Granted: 2008-01-22
Abstract: An electrical connector may include a connector body having a passageway therethrough. The connector body may include a first layer adjacent the passageway, a second layer surrounding the first layer and comprising an insulative thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material, and a third layer surrounding the second layer.

Title: Rapid coliform detection system
Inventor: VAN DYKE MICHELE I
IPC: C12Q1/00
Filed: 2002-10-17
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: A system for rapidly determining the presence or quantity of coliform bacteria in a water sample using the enzymes .beta.-D-galactosidase and .beta.-D-glucuronidase. The system includes a first filter means for separating bacteria from the sample and a broth for culturing the bacteria including an inducing agent for inducing enzyme production. A second filter means is used to separate the cultured bacteria from the broth. A lysing agent is exposed to the bacteria on the second filter and incubated with a chemiluminogenic substrate of the enzyme to produce a chemiluminescent product. Light emission is initiated from the second filter means and the emitted light is detected or measured directly from the second filter means using a luminometer adapted to receive the second filter means. The system is especially effective at improving the sensitivity and specificity of the assay by increasing the signal received from encapsulated target organisms and reducing the interference from non-target organisms that may be present in the sample.

Abstract: A universal x, y-axis positioning input method used for electronic devices having number keys, direction keys and a display screen integrates the characters and/ or function keys into several character options to define a menu. A horizontal numerical row is disposed at the upper part of the menu for indicating the x-coordinates of the character options for selecting the x-coordinate of the character option by using the numerical keys. The horizontal character option row corresponding to the selected y-coordinate value is displayed by a method other than that of other character option rows. The direction keys are used to select the y-coordinate of the character option. Selecting the values of the y, x-axis for the desired character option from the menu completes the input. The invention overcomes the ambiguous key mapping to the desired characters and reduces the number of keystrokes needed, and can be used universally for any language.
