Abstract: Devices (10, 50) are described herein which combine an integrated diagnostic strip (26, 52) and an attachment for the collection of saliva or the collection of blood. In the preferred embodiment for collection and testing of saliva, the integrated collection and assay device includes a collapsible funnel shaped saliva collector (16), a saliva processing pad (24) and one or more diagnostic assay strips (26). The collector, pad, and assay strips are in fluid communication with each other, thereby permitting capillary flow of saliva from the funnel to the assay strips. The device can be used for collection of blood in the same manner as the saliva. In the embodiment of the device for the collection and analysis of a blood sample, a needle (58) and needle receptacle are attached to the strip (52) to allow collection and direct application of blood to the strip, avoiding any contact by the party collecting the blood. Assay strips (64) can be incorporated into the collection device, as well as an absorbent pad (66) or filter to remove unwanted tissue or red blood cells from the sample.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un module transducteur de pression non contaminant présentant un élément d'isolation. L'élément d'isolation isole un capteur de pression (88) à l'intérieur du module transducteur de l'exposition à un écoulement de fluides hautement épurés à travers un conduit dans le module sans modifier à peine la précision de la mesure de pression. Le module transducteur peut être placé avec un circuit d'écoulement fluide portant des matières corrosives, le module transducteur de pression produisant un signal de commande proportionnel à la pression manométrique ou à une pression absolue du circuit d'écoulement de fluide. Le module transducteur de pression permet aussi d'éviter que des ions particulaires indésirables ou des vapeurs n'entrent dans le circuit d'écoulement.

Abstract: "Black holes" in the genomes of bacterial pathogens represent deletions of "anti-virulence" genes, i.e. genes that are detrimental to a pathogenic lifestyle. Identification of the missing genetic loci in the "black hole" identifies genes that are incompatible with the bacteria's pathogenicity. These genes, their gene products, and compounds generated by the enzymatic action of these gene products represent potential new compounds that are inhibitory to the bacterial pathogen and thus useful as pharmaceuticals. The utility of this concept is demonstrated in the missing gene for lysine decarboxylase, and the resulting inhibitory activity of cadaverine (the diaminoalkyl reaction product of lysine decarboxylase) on the Shigella enterotoxins. Diaminoalkyl compounds are therefore potent inhibitors of E. coli and Shigella spp. enterotoxins. Lysine decarboxylase generated from the gene cadA results in attenuation of the enterotoxic effects. New methods of use of diaminoalkyl compounds as medicaments are described. New uses of genetic constructs containing a cadA sequence, or other "anti-virulence" gene, for biochemical probes, for toxin receptor identification, and for pharmaceutical discovery are described. Additional uses are described for vaccines and DNA vaccine delivery.

Abstract: Akylation product is contacted with a purification medium in a liquid phase pre-reaction step to remove impurities and form a purified stream. The purified stream may then be further processed by liquid phase transalkylation to convert the polyalkylated aromatic compound to a monoalkylated aromatic compound. The process may use a large pore molecular sieve catalyst such as MCM-22 as the purification medium in the pre-reaction step because of its high reactivity for alkylation, strong retention of catalyst poisons and low reactivity for oligomerization under the pre-reactor conditions. Olefins, diolefins, styrene, oxygenated organic compounds, sulfur containing compounds, nitrogen containing compounds and oligomeric compounds are removed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the outflow in cooling circuits by supplementing the water content of the cooling circuit with make-up water, whereby, according to time, a maximum value cmax(t) is determined in the circulating water for a time-dependent balancing quantity c(t) which is selected from physical parameters of the make-up water or from constituents of the make-up water. In addition, the outflow is initiated when the value of the balancing quantity measured in the circulating water exceeds the maximum value cmax(t) that is determined using a predetermined equation, and the quantity of circulating water which has flown out is replaced by make-up water.

Abstract: This relates to a frequency-modulated infrared ray transmitter apparatus which transmits codes when motor vehicles travel on roads where speed is to be controlled. These codes, picked up by a receiver fitted in the vehicles, are received as an indication of the speed limit and compared with the speed of the motor vehicle; if this exceeds the limit, the fuel supply to the engine is temporarily cut off, causing the vehicle to slow down; the vehicle can proceed at a speed below the indicated limit until it reaches the sign showing the end of the speed limit, which, by sending the release code, enables the vehicle to proceed at the desired speed.
