Abstract: A method and kit for for determining of an effective concentration of an antimicrobial agent for inhibiting bacterial growth are provided. The method and kit involve the use of a first and second multiwell receptacle. A fluid sample containing or suspected to contain one or more microbial organisms is dispensed into the wells of the first multiwell receptacle containing a range of dilutions of an antimicrobial agent, growth medium and a bacteriophage to form assay mixtures in the wells. The assay mixtures are then transferred to the corresponding wells of the second multiwell receptacle for detection.

Abstract: A power tool system includes a power tool having a tool housing. The tool housing includes a battery pack receptacle having a set of tool terminals. A brushless motor includes an output shaft operably coupled to drive a tool element, a stator having an outer diameter of approximately 60 mm to approximately 80 mm, and a stack length of approximately 75% to approximately 125% of the outer diameter of the stator. A controller is operably connected to the set of tool terminals and to the brushless motor to control power delivery to the brushless motor. A battery pack includes a battery pack housing connectable to the battery pack receptacle on the tool housing and a set of battery cells. The set of battery cells includes at least 15 battery cells each having a nominal voltage of approximately 3.6V and an impedance of approximately ?13 m?. A set of battery pack terminals is connectable to the set of tool terminals.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include receiving transaction data for a transaction that is to be executed by a computer-implemented person-to-person (P2P) payment system, the transaction data including a unique account identifier uniquely identifying an account of a first user among a plurality of accounts of the first user, and an amount to be transferred to the account from a second user, processing the transaction data to execute the transaction, and transmitting notifications to each of the first user and the second user, the notifications providing information regarding the transaction.

Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include receiving transaction data for a transaction that is to be executed between a first user and a second user by a computer-implemented P2P payment system, the transaction data including negotiable instrument data provided from a physical negotiable instrument that is provided by the second user and that is to be used in the transaction, the first user being a user of the P2P payment system, and the second user being a non-user of the P2P payment system, processing, the transaction data to execute the transaction, and transmitting a notification to at least one of the first user and the second user, the notification providing information regarding the transaction.

Abstract: A protective system is provided including a material comprising a first and second surface opposite one another and a thickness, and where the first surface has a low-electrical resistance and the second surface has a high-electrical resistance that is higher than the electrical resistance of the low-electrical resistance surface, and the material conducts charge from the first surface to the second surface through the thickness. This can be provided in a bilayer structure where a first protective layer having a low-resistivity is disposed upon a second protective layer having a high-resistivity. This protective system is particularly useful for dissipating electrical charge, for example as a lightning strike protection system for composite aircraft.

Abstract: A power press is comprised of a frame, a stationary bed, a ram reciprocally movable toward and away from the bed and a safety guard for preventing movement of the ram toward the ram when the tooling for the press must be repaired or changed. The guard includes a first chain attached to the frame of the press and a second chain attached to the ram and attachable to the first chain to restrict movement of the ram toward the bed. The chains are connectable together at a plurality of locations to enable the combined, attached length of the chains to be adjusted. The adjustability permits the guard to be easily used with a press having a range of shut heights. A normally open power circuit controls the reciprocal movement of the ram. A key for closing the circuit by engagement with a receptacle in the circuit is attached to the first chain. The key is engageable with the receptacle when the chains are unattached and is not engageable with the receptacle when the chains are attached.
