Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for amplifying a plurality of targets in a single PCR run while distinguishing between clinically relevant amplification and amplification from other sources such as from background contamination. The methods and devices further enable discrimination between gram-positive, gram-negative and fungal infections as wells as identify antimicrobial resistance genes. When applying the methods and devices of the invention, the species or genus of an infection(s), and genus of a fungal co-infection(s) or category of bacterial (gram-positive or negative) co-infection(s) are identified. Species identification of co-infections can also be achieved. Further, when applying the methods and devices of the invention, organisms which are likely to be contaminating organisms from a blood draw are identified.

Abstract: A fiber optic network for a multiple dwelling unit (MDU) is disclosed. The fiber optic network comprises a riser cable preconnectorized with a first riser optical connector. The riser cable is optically connected to a feeder cable providing optical communication service to the MDU. The riser cable has one or more preset mid-span access points along the length of the riser cable. One or more optical fibers of the riser cable extend from the riser cable at the one or more preset mid-span access points and are preconnectorized with a second riser optical connector. A payout reel is adapted to pay out the riser cable such that the riser cable extends between the lower level and at least one of the one or more distribution levels. The payout reel is adapted to store a length of the riser.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for superimposing a program guide browser onto a video stream. The method includes receiving a request from the client while media content is displayed at the host; in response to the request, transmitting a user interface (UI) to the client; and displaying the UI at the client without interrupting the displayed media content; wherein the UI comprises a horizontally scrollable ribbon. Additional or alternate features may be provided as desired.

Abstract: Fiber optic assemblies include subunit cables wrapped in binders. The assemblies have small cross sections and low bend radii while maintaining acceptable attenuation losses. Stranding of the subunit cables allows ease of access to the individual cables during installation.

Abstract: A tool and a method for installing one or more cables into a molding is disclosed. The tool includes a laying chute on a first end of the tool having an open passage along its length for inserting one or more cables into the laying chute. The tool also includes one or more closing devices that are rotatably attached to the laying chute to allow insertion of the one or more cables into the laying chute. The cable is inserted into the laying chute and secured using the closing devices. Thereafter, the tool is moved along the length of the molding for inserting the cable therein.

Abstract: Methods are provided including the steps of transmitting a beam of light through a length of the optical fiber, reflecting a transmitted beam of light at a second end of an optical fiber such that a highly reflective event reflects the light beam, and identifying the second end of the optical fiber by monitoring at least the reflected light beam. In further examples, devices are provided for removable mounting with respect to an end of an optical connector. Each device comprises a reflective surface configured to provide a highly reflective event to reflect a beam of light back through an optical fiber supported by the optical connector. In further examples, optical assemblies are provided that include an optical connector with an optical fiber and a device with a reflective surface configured to provide a highly reflective event.
