Abstract: Cantilevered outdoor cooking assemblies, and related methods, are disclosed, which comprise one or more cantilevered cooking trays adjustably suspended from an erect post by gravity without fasteners.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting the proximity of a first molecular segment to a second molecular segment. The method comprises covalently attaching fluorescein to a first molecular segment, covalently attaching cyanine 5 to a second molecular segment, and detecting the presence or absence of fluorescein-induced emission of cyanine 5 as a result of fluorescence resonance energy transfer when the first molecular segment and second molecular segment are in proximity to each other. Compositions and compounds comprising the fluorescein and cyanine 5 pair are also provided.

Abstract: A receptacle for removing ashes from a fireplace or stove has a box-like receptacle body strongly constructed of relatively thin gauge sheet steel with a top opening and hinged cover therefor. A long handle is secured to a front panel wall of the receptacle body midway of the width thereof be a relatively narrow, weight-distributing plate to which it is secured adjacent the upper end thereof. The ash-filled receptacle is cantilevered at a distance from a person carrying the same by holding the remote end of the handle.

Abstract: A filtering cell through which milk from each cow of a herd is caused to pass for immediate detection of mastitis. Milk from the different teats of each animal is combined and passed through the filtering device which comprises a housing and a filter through which the milk passes. A light producing device is located on one side of the filter and a photoelectric cell on the other side. Thus, any decreased flow of light through the filter caused by the collection of a white clotted material from the milk infected by mastitis will be optically identified. If desired, a signal device may be used to notify the on-site operator of the existence of mastitis. The housing comprises two funnel shaped pieces which are connected to each other by a hinge. The suction of the mechanical milking machine holds the two halves together during use. A valve is closed to retrieve the suction and accommodate opening the housing via the hinge. An overflow passageway is provided in the event the filter becomes clogged.
