Abstract: Methods for the detection and/or quantification of a biological material in a sample. The method includes the steps of liquefying the sample (if necessary) and pouring the liquefied sample into the incubation vessel. The incubation vessel has a generally flat horizontal surface and the surface is divided into at least one incubation site. Each incubation site is adapted to hold an aliquot of liquid and is sized and shaped, and formed of a suitable material, to hold the aliquot within the well by surface tension. Any excess liquid from the liquefied sample is poured from the surface of the incubation vessel. The method then involves incubating that incubation vessel until the presence or absence of the biological material is determined. The presence of air bubbles can be dramatically reduced by the presence of a surface acting agent in the liquid sample deposited on the device surface. Such an agent can be added to the sterile diluent used to prepare the test reagent, can be separately added to the test reagent after it is prepared, or can be added to the test sample directly while it is being prepared for testing.

Abstract translation: 用于检测和/或定量样品中生物材料的方法。 该方法包括如下步骤：将样品液化（如有必要）并将液化的样品倒入培养容器中。 培养容器具有大致平坦的水平表面，并且将表面分成至少一个孵育位点。 每个孵化位点适于保持液体的等分试样，并且其尺寸和形状由合适的材料形成，以通过表面张力将等分试样保持在孔内。 从培养容器的表面倒出来自液化样品的任何多余的液体。 然后，该方法包括孵育该培养容器，直到确定生物材料的存在或不存在。 通过在沉积在器件表面上的液体样品中存在表面作用剂，可以显着降低气泡的存在。 可以将这样的试剂加入用于制备测试试剂的无菌稀释剂中，可以在制备试剂后分别添加到试验试剂中，或者可以在制备试剂时直接加入试验样品中。

Abstract: A miniaturizable wireless communications device is configured to redefine the roles of the primary front and rear surfaces of the device by positioning a large graphic display on the forward surface and a speaker on the rear surface. The associated keypad can be disposed on either or both of the rear surface or the graphic display (such as via a touchscreen). Alternatively, a pivotable flip can include the keypad and even the microphone. During operation, a user can turn the device around to orient the desired input surface for use (forward face up for display surface use and forward face down or away for telephone use). An associated method of designing the operational platform of a wireless communications device so that it has two active primary faces is also disclosed.

Abstract: A vent valve for an air braking system of a vehicle comprises an elastomeric valve member (11) held in relation to a vent (17) and having a restricted vent passageway. A continuous depending rib (23) is engageable with a valve seat (28) to close the vent passageway as increasing pressure acts on the head (21) of the valve member (11). The valve member (11) permits a fluid chamber to be connected to exhaust until pressure in the chamber reaches a predetermined level.
