  • Polynucleotides for the detection of O157:H7 and O157:NM verotoxin producers
    Patent number: 8088572
    Abstract: Polynucleotide primers and probes for the specific detection of E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin in samples are provided. The primers and probes can be used in real time diagnostic assays for rapid detection of E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin. The primers and probes can be used in real-time diagnostic assays for rapid detection of E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin in a variety of situations and are capable of distinguishing E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin from other E. coli strains. Kits comprising the primers and probes are also provided.

  • RF microwave bellows tuning post
    Patent number: 5986526
    Abstract: An adjustable RF microwave tuning post for use in an RF cavity is disclosed. It is comprised of a flexible integrally-formed hollow tuning post disposed in the RF cavity. A drive shaft extending internally of the tuning post is provided to vary the dimensions of the tuning post. The drive shaft is connected to the tuning post at the top end thereof and connected at the other end of the drive shaft to an adjusting nut. The tuning post is made flexible by the use of bellows, which in a preferred embodiment of the invention is located along the side walls thereof.
