Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to processing samples and particularly, but not exclusively, to technology for containing and processing a stool specimen. The technology provides an enclosing holder for securing a sample container in a leak-proof manner e.g., during mechanical shaking.

Abstract: A dehumidifier system is connected to an interior space of a building through supply and return ducts, either directly and/or through an HVAC system. Controllable dampers can be used to select how the dehumidifier system is connected to the interior space and the HVAC system. The dehumidifier determines the dew point of the ambient air from temperature and relative humidity measurements taken at location(s) of relative humidity and temperature sensors. Based on the determined dew point, the dehumidifier system determines whether to operate. The temperature and relative humidity sensors can be located in the interior space or within the dehumidifier, where they project into the air stream flowing through the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier system operates in response in part to blower calls to the HVAC system and controls the HVAC system and a ventilation system to distribute the dehumidified air and outside air throughout the building.

Abstract: A V-type engine having a crankcase with a face, and cylinders arranged so as to form a V space therebetween. Pistons slidably mounted in the cylinders rotatably drive a crankshaft. The crankshaft is rotatably mounted in the crankcase at the junction of the V and has one end extending through the crankcase face. A timing gear engaged by the crankshaft rotatably drives a camshaft rotatably mounted in the crankcase. The camshaft extends through the crankcase face and has a sprocket mounted thereon which engages a drive belt. The drive belt rotatably drives a coolant pump interposed between the crankcase face and flywheel. The coolant pump has a pump cavity which is formed as an integral part of the crankcase face, and an impeller shaft with a rotational axis arranged substantially parallel to the crankshaft outside of the V space. A flywheel is mounted on the crankshaft end extending through the crankcase face and substantially covers the face and coolant pump.
