Abstract: In certain arrangements, a balancing yoke is used in a hybrid cam arrangement of an archery bow, in which two cables are paid out from respective tracks or taken up in respective tracks on a cam when the bow is drawn. Aspects of the present disclosure incorporate a balancing yoke which has two leg portions which are symmetrically paid out or taken up in tracks on opposite sides of the cam's central rotational plane and wherein the force applied by a cable is divided and applied by the yoke legs to the cam on opposite sides of the cam's central rotational plane.

Abstract: A tamper resistant padlock. The padlock includes a hasp receiving opening through which passes an extendable and rotatable lock shaft which secures the hasp or other lockable article. A shield is provided adjacent the bottom bore to protect the lock mechanism. The shield may be provided in a magnetic material to strongly attract ball bearings which protect the padlock against metal cutting drill bits.

Abstract: A cable tie bandolier for use with automatic tools. A continuous length of cable ties may be formed utilizing a non-continuous molding operation by molding discrete shots of cable ties, such discrete shots having connection capability therebetween allowing the connection of one discrete shot of cable ties to a second discrete shot of cable ties thereby providing one continuous strip of cable ties.

Abstract: A cable tie comprises a head and a strap of plastic material. The head has a transverse aperture formed therethrough and contains a separately formed barb. The barb has a head engaging portion and a strap engaging portion extending at least partly across the head aperture. The barb includes a flexure region comprising a pair of opposed cut-out portions each located in a edge of the barb to provide a section of reduced width between the cut-out portions. Each cut-out portion provides a shoulder at the side thereof such that after insertion of the barb into the head the plastic material of the head flows over the shoulders of the cut-out portions to anchor the barb in the head.

Abstract: Nucleic acid probes that detect Salmonella human pathogens are generated from the nucleotide sequences of a gene encoding a virulence factor involved in the pathogenesis of Salmonella, especially the Type 1 fimbriae protein. Preferred probe lengths are about 20 to about 100 nucleotide bases. The probes are highly specific and sensitive for detecting Salmonella organisms pathogenic to humans and are thus clinically useful in the detection of infection in diarrhea specimens. They also may be used in the detection of food-borne Salmonella, the causative agent of most salmonellosis in humans.
