The accident risk is then determined as a function of the collision probability and the hazard probability.

Abstract: An air conveyor for handling workpieces in a food grade environment has a cylindrical pipe with an elongated slot that extends along an axial length of the pipe. A track is snap fit in the elongated slot and has a base for supporting the workpieces. The base has air vents that provide directional airflow for pushing the workpieces along an axial length of the track on a cushion of air. A movable hanger assembly supports the pipe from above and captures the workpieces in the track.

Abstract: There is disclosed probes bearing partial metal chelators that in some embodiments are conformationally constrained. In certain embodiments such probes are useful in methods for the detection of a specific target molecule. These target molecules may include oligonucleotides, peptides, proteins, polysaccharides, or small molecules. There is further disclosed the use of probes with partial metal chelators engaged in a coordination complex with one another that imposes a structural constraint in the probe and increases the specificity factor of the probe.

Abstract: Described are methods for monitoring of stresses and other material properties. These methods use measurements of effective electrical properties, such as magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity, to infer the state of the test material, such as the stress, temperature, or overload condition. The sensors, which can be single element sensors or sensor arrays, can be used to periodically inspect selected locations, mounted to the test material, or scanned over the test material to generate two-dimensional images of the material properties. Magnetic field or eddy current based inductive and giant magnetoresistive sensors may be used on magnetizable and/or conducting materials, while capacitive sensors can be used for dielectric materials. Methods are also described for the use of state-sensitive layers to determine the state of materials of interest. These methods allow the weight of articles, such as aircraft, to be determined.
