Abstract: A pathogen detection and display system is configured to discover and display the location of substances of interest, particularly pathogens that can spread infection. The detection and display system can be used in healthcare facilities on surfaces, medical equipment and devices, patients, and staff, for example.

Abstract: A fabric (16) is formed from a plurality of woven monofilaments, comprising an acetal resin, the fabric having utility as a fuel filter fabric. The acetal resin presents a material that is stable and does not swell in alternative fuels.

Abstract: A robotic element for lifting and moving semi-conductor wafer carriers and detecting collisions and correctness of engagement of the carrier to a robotic transport device. The element has a pair of spaced, parallel plates, a pair of rotary solenoids each fixed to one plate, and mounted between said plates and extending through the holes in said first plate for rotation therein. An engagement member is fixed to each of said rotary solenoids and extends outwardly from said first plate. The element also has a plurality of collision sensors and collision rebound means mounted between said plates.

Abstract: Solid oxide electrolyte structures, e.g., flat plates, suitable for use in an electrochemical energy converter are prepared by a plasma deposition technique. This process is comprised of forming a suspension of the oxide powders, passing the suspension through an arc discharge to melt the oxide particles and depositing the molten particles on a substrate. The deposited layer is allowed to cool and then is removed intact from the substrate. The plate then can be sintered and a fuel electrode material and an oxidizer electrode material can be applied on the opposing surfaces of the plate.
