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: The present invention provides a bar code reader support stand that is portable and easy to set up in addition to being stable and not easily tipped. The support stand provides a reading surface on which to place a coded medium. The support stand further provides a securing area for mounting a bar code reader, such that said bar code reader is held at a predetermined and fixed distance and angle with respect to said reading surface. The fixed position and orientation of the bar code reader with respect to the reading surface allows for a consistently reliable reading of the coded medium. Installation and usage of the device can be more efficient since the user need not adjust the bar code reader orientation at the time of set-up, nor re-adjust it during the course of usage. The design of the weight-stabilised base allows the device to be set up and used in an active environment without the need to rigidly connect it to a table top by means of screws or bolts.

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.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gaming machine support stand with integrated adjustability enabling ergonomic comfort to be provided to a user of the gaming machine. The gaming machine support stand comprises a top and bottom that are interconnected by at least a front and back wall. The front wall of the stand has at least one ergonomic step associated therewith, providing players of the gaming machine interconnected to the support stand, a location at which they may rest one or more feet. The ergonomic step(s) may be adjustable in various planes thereby enabling the variation of the position thereof by an individual resulting in a more personal ergonomic positioning of the ergonomic step associated with gaming machine support stand. The back wall of the support stand includes a protective member that can prevent items from falling behind the support stand, for example when the stand is positioned within close proximity to a wall.

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.
