  • Patent number: 7615876
    Abstract: A mobile power generating system and method, located on a mobile carrier. A power supply is coupled to an electrical drive motor, to power the drive motor. Rotational output from the drive motor is routed through a gear reduction system to increase one of horsepower and torque, and increased rotational output is then supplied to a generator, generating an electrical output. That output may be routed through a fuse box and transformer to the bus line.

  • Patent number: 6203706
    Abstract: Described is a method and reagent kit for the detection of an analyte in a sample liquid by agglutination, wherein the sample liquid is contacted with an agglutination reagent in a reaction vessel that contains an inert matrix to form a reaction mixture that is then subjected to centrifugation. The reaction between the analyte and the agglutination reagent is determined based upon the penetration of the agglutination reagent into the inert matrix. The agglutination reagent includes synthetic particles having an average diameter and specific density chosen such that the particles' sedimentation behavior towards the matrix is essentially the same as that of erythrocytes under the same centrifugal conditions. Preferably, the surfaces of the synthetic particles have ligand molecules immobilized thereon for binding to the analyte.
