Abstract: An HVAC system includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, a thermostat, and a remote control device. The indoor unit comprises a first variable speed drive (VSD) to control a speed of HVAC rotary components within the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit comprises a second VSD to control a speed of HVAC rotary components within the outdoor unit. The thermostat in communication with the indoor unit and the outdoor unit comprises a communication interface, and a system controller in communication with the communication interface. The remote control device transmits a signal to the system controller to alter the speed of the HVAC rotary components, where the HVAC rotary components operate at a high speed mode which is above the preset speed limit of the respective HVAC rotary component to achieve an enhanced cooling mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient and economical method for reducing carryover contamination in an amplification procedure. The method of the present invention enables background caused by contaminant amplification product to be reduced or eliminated through the incorporation of at least one modification into the amplification product. The modified amplification product is readily distinguishable from the target sequence in a test sample. Prior to amplifying the target in a new test sample, the sample may be treated to selectively eliminate the contaminant amplification product so that it cannot be amplified in the new sample.

Abstract: An insulating member has two (2) spring arms each normally biased to a first position and each pivotable to a second position. A pin in a housing at one end of the spring arms provides the spring arm pivot fulcrum. Resilient electrical conductors extend through apertures in the other ends of the spring arms. Looped portions in the conductors at positions beyond the apertures resiliently engage, respectively, probes and shield casings in a pair of electrical connectors when the spring arms are biased to the first positions. Additional looped portions in the conductors at positions between the apertures may be fixedly positioned relative to the housing by an insulating pin extending into the housing to the approximate center of such additional looped portions. The probes and shield casings are included in coaxial connectors disposed within the housing. The connectors include insulators between the probes and the shield casings. The connectors are coaxial with a pair of barrels disposed within the housing.
