Abstract: A pathogen detection method. A sample that potentially contains a pathogen is collected. A triangle wave form output is produced. A signal associated with the triangle wave form is transmitted from a voltage-controlled oscillator over a plurality of frequencies. The signal is transmitted through the sample to cause the pathogen in the sample to vibrate at a frequency. The vibrations from the sample are detected. A resonance profile of a pathogen in the sample is calculated based upon the vibrations. A database that includes a resonance profile signature of at least one pathogens is provided. The calculated resonance profile is compared to the resonance profile signature database to determine if the sample includes the pathogen.

Abstract: A self-adjusting accessory for a table saw that includes a guide for sliding in the guide groove of the work supporting table of a table saw and which is biased against the edge of the guide groove which is closest to the cutting blade. The guide bar is used in conjunction with the plurality of table saw fixtures such as a miter gauge, an alignment gauge and a stop gauge. The alignment gauge also forms part of apparatus for carrying out a method of verifying the straightness of the arbor for the cutting blade, the alignment of the arbor relative to the guide groove of the work supporting table and the flatness of the cutting blade. The invention also includes an apparatus for adjusting the alignment of the arbor relative to the guide groove of the work supporting table.

Abstract: The alignment mechanism includes a main body, a clamp which is connected to the main body for clamping the main body to the frame of a jointer and for creating a tension on the rotor of the jointer against rotation of the rotor about its drive axis. The clamping elements also include rotor adjusting elements connected to the main body for applying torque to the rotor to overcome the clamping tension on the rotor. The alignment mechanism also includes a reference member connected to the main body to provide a reference surface for aligning the cutting blades of the rotor to the top dead center position.

Abstract: A crosscut fixture for a table saw which includes a flat board, a guide rail which is fixed to the bottom surface of the board, and an elongated guide bar which is pivotally connected to the top surface of the board for enabling the guide bar to move relative to the board to a plurality of angular positions relative to the saw blade. The fixtures provided with a clamping device for locking the guide bar to the board at any desired angular setting. The guide bar is also provided with a length gauge and the board is provided with an angle scale which is intersected by the rear surface of the guide bar. The angular position of the guide bar relative to the saw blade is determined by aligning the lower edge of the rear surface of the guide bar at the appropriate angular marking on the scale. The guide bar is also provided with a length gauge at one end.
