Abstract: The proposed apparatus, which functions to capture insects for research purposes, incorporates a mesh platform used to gather insects, at least one funnel used to direct insects to the mesh platform, a fan positioned at the base of the apparatus to create a down draft in the air flow which forces insects to gather on the mesh platform. A camera placed above the mesh platform and funnel to collect images of the insects on the mesh platform.

Abstract: An insect trap analysis system may detect an insect specimen on a trap mechanism of an insect trap. The insect trap analysis system may control, based on detecting the insect specimen on the trap mechanism, one or more mechanical devices to: adjust a position of the insect specimen relative to a position of an image capture device associated with the insect trap, or adjust the position of the image capture device relative to the position of the insect specimen. The insect trap analysis system may cause, while controlling the one or more mechanical devices to adjust the position of the image capture device or the position of the insect specimen, the image capture device to capture a plurality of images of the insect specimen from a plurality of different angles relative to the insect specimen, and may perform an action associated with the plurality of images.

Abstract: The invention is a self-administered urine based lateral flow immunoassay that detects the presence of an HPV oncogene and thus the presence in a test subject of HPV.
