Abstract: An extended range test strip includes a simple system where the end user can determine the concentration of the analyte at high concentration with a single drop of whole blood. A single drop of blood spreads across a spreading layer and into multiple reagent stacks. Multiple reagent stacks of the test strip may be configured to test for different ranges by adding a peroxide modulator. Readings from multiple reagent stacks producing a colorimetric response may be tested simultaneously. Working from the lowest range to the highest range of reagent stacks, the first reagent stack to be less than its maximum range is considered to be the reagent stack that is producing a colorimetric response related to the actual amount of analyte in the sample.

Abstract: An illuminated slackline is made of an elongate tube which is formed by a translucent wall. The tube is longitudinally elastic and defines an elongate enclosed space. An elongate light emitting device within the enclosed space emits light which travels through the tube wall and illuminates the slackline. A power cord extends from the device through a slackline terminal securement loop to a power source/lighting power control device which powers and controls the intensity, color and frequency of the emitted light. A friction reducing translucent tube around the device allows the device to slide within the tube elongate enclosed space. A power cord tension relief device in the enclosed space expands to prevent tension on the power cord. Tension in the device and the power cord is thereby prevented as the elongate tube longitudinally expands relative to the device and power cord.

Abstract: A floating conveyor belt cleaner assembly for removing residual material on the surface of a conveyor belt has a scraper assembly with a plurality of scraper blades rotatably mounted between mounting frames attached to the support structure of a conveyor belt adjacent the opposing edges of the belt. A rotating mechanism selectively rotates the scraper assembly relative to the mounting frames to position a new set of scraper blades against the conveyor belt once the worn set of scraper blades requires replacement. A float mechanism permits movement of the scraper assembly vertically substantially perpendicular to the surface of the belt as the scraper blades wear down.

Abstract: A return roller battery has a plurality of idler rollers rotatably attached at either end to opposing mounting plates. The mounting plates are rotatably attached to a conveyor belt frame and selectively rotated by a crank mechanism to position one of the idler rollers beneath the conveyor belt to support the belt. A locking mechanism secures the mounting plates against rotation when an idler roller is in position.

Abstract: A plug for ease of alignment of a temperature probe or sensor inside a duct of a transformer winding is provided. The plug is shaped for secure placement into a duct or passage of a transformer winding without requiring any adhering material. The insertion of the plug into the duct or passage brings the temperature probe into contact with the desired point along the transformer winding being thermally monitored.
