Abstract: Methods and compositions for the detection and quantitative measurement of biomarkers and other target analytes by determining impedance in bodily fluid samples and/or environmental samples using compositions comprising a base substrate with electrodes, a nanoporous membrane placed on top of the nanoporous membrane, O-rings placed on top of the nanoporous membrane and a manifold placed on top of the O-rings. Such a composition may be placed in a testing platform to ensure the application of constant, repeatable pressure to the composition.

Abstract: A multi-axis conveyor comprises a telescoping, articulating beam supported from a platform. A belt support assembly, comprising a plurality of belt support plates connected by telescoping, articulating joints and two end rollers provides support for a closed, flexible belt loop. A control system provides hydraulic fluid to hydraulic cylinders to telescope individual beam segments of the articulating beam and hydraulic motors for positioning multi-axis joints connecting the beam segments to position the end of the conveyor in the desired length and the desired horizontal and vertical position.

Abstract: A laterally adjustable conveyor utilizes a belt support assembly consisting of a plurality of pivoting support plates connected by pivots for sliding support of a flexible belt. A plurality of support stands provide support for the pivot plates from the floor or other supporting surface. A belt drive provides motive power for the flexible belt. A lateral adjustment assembly provides a means to position the back end laterally with respect to the front end of the conveyor by rotating pivot plates about plate pivots.
