  • Publication number: 20220112543
    Abstract: Described herein various PCR based assays that can detect H. penaei and/or V. parahaemolyticus that causes AHPND in a nucleic acid sample obtained from one or more shrimp. In some aspects, the PCR based assays can detect one or more of the following genes: the flgE gene from H. penaei, the shrimp 18s rRNA gene, the shrimp beta actin gene from shrimp, a bacterial 16S rRNA gene from bacteria (any type of bacteria) the Vibrio pirA gene, and the Vibrio pirB gene. The assays described herein can be single assays or can be multiplexed such that more than one gene and/or more than one bacterial species can be detected in a single reaction. Other compositions, compounds, methods, features, and advantages of the present disclosure will be or become apparent to one having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following drawings, detailed description, and examples.

  • Patent number: 10005565
    Abstract: Devices and methods for stabilizing a structural component are provided. The devices may include a main body component, a pair of opposed stabilization feet engageable with opposed regions of the structural component, a pair of coaxially disposed and reciprocal rectilinearly movable support shafts coupling the stabilization feet to the main body component, and an actuator assembly for rectilinearly moving the support shafts opposite to one another which in turn moves the stabilization feet between retracted and extended positions relative to the main body component. In use, the device may be positioned between opposed flanges of a structural component so as to stabilize the component and facilitate automated assembly processes.

  • Patent number: 7908709
    Abstract: A check link assembly is operatively connectable to a door to provide resistance to the rotation of the door. The amount of resistance varies with the position of the door to provide at least one detent position. The check link assembly stores energy when the door is latched in its closed position, and is configured to release the energy when the door is unlatched so that the door moves toward its open position.
