Abstract: A manually operated outboard motor. A propeller is connected to a first shaft which is geared through plastic mitre gears to a further shaft. The further shaft is connected to a gear which, in turn, is driven by a gear connected to a crank extending from the top of the housing of the outboard motor. The crank includes a handle and the crank and handle are manually rotated which, in turn, rotates the propeller.

Abstract: There are described stable fluorescent labels comprising a complex of lanthanide metal and a chelating agent comprising a nucleus which is a triplet sensitizer having a triplet energy greater than that of said lanthanide metal and at least two heteroatom-containing groups which form coordinate complexes with lanthanide metals and a third heteroatom-containing group or heteratom in or appended to the triplet sensitizer. Labeled physiologically active materials useful in specific binding assays such as labeled antigens, heptens, antibodies, hormones and the like comprising the stable fluorescent labels having physiologically active materials adsorbed or bonded thereto are also described.
