Abstract: The invention concerns a method for the detection of Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 strains in a medium, comprising the determination of the presence or the absence in a sample of the medium, of: (i) at least one first nucleic acid target having a sequence selected from the group constituted of SEQ ID NO: 1-49, complementary sequences thereof, and homologous sequences thereof, or (ii) at least one fragment of said first target nucleic acid, wherein said fragment is not constituted of or comprised in a sequence selected from the group constituted of SEQ ID NO: 111-140; whereby, if said first nucleic acid target or fragment thereof is present in the sample, it is determined that Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 strain is present in the medium.

Abstract: A system and method of aligning an antenna with a predetermined azimuth direction. The method includes determining an antenna azimuth direction and moving the antenna from the antenna azimuth direction towards a predetermined azimuth direction so as to align said antenna. This is accomplished in response to processed positioning data received by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver from a GPS system where the receiver is locatable at predetermined first and second positions away from the antenna. The system includes at least two reference targets affixed to the antenna, a reference tool operatively coupled to the targets, and a GPS receiver connected to the reference tool. The receiver is in communication with a GPS system for processing positioning data received therefrom to determine an antenna azimuth direction of the antenna and thereby enable alignment of said antenna by moving the antenna with a predetermined azimuth direction.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for identifying, among a plurality of cables having respective first and second cable end portions, a connected cable connected to a selected antenna without interrupting service thereof. A signal emitter is connected to the respective first cable end portion, proximal the selected antenna, of the connected cable. A signal meter is connected to the respective second end portion of each cable. A signal is emitted from the signal emitter and the respective received signal amplitude of the signal received at the second respective cable end portion is measured. The cable for which the respective received signal amplitude of the signal received at the second respective cable end portion is greatest is the connected cable.

Abstract: A method of aligning an antenna within a predetermined azimuth direction, in which the antenna is hingeably connected to a support. In response to processed positioning data received by a first global positioning system receiver dish from a global positioning satellite system, the first receiver dish being connected to the antenna and locatable at predetermined first and second positions away from the antenna, the first receiver dish determines an antenna azimuth direction and is moved from the antenna azimuth direction towards the predetermined azimuth direction so as to align the antenna.
