A cleaning device for removing sludge build-up from elevator ropes includes a brush assembly secured within a housing and shielded by a guard. The sludge is continuously removed from the elevator ropes as the elevator ropes pass through the bristles of the brush. The housing includes a removable receptacle where the removed sludge is collected. The receptacle is periodically removed and cleaned. T...

A device and method for visualizing geometrical and mechanical parameters of prostates and diagnosing prostate diseases using a pressure sensor array is disclosed. A probe having an articulated tip for insertion in the rectum applies digital pressure to the prostate similar to that applied by a human finger. A pressure and position/orientation sensor is provided in the tip. Signals from the sensor...

The present invention is based on the degradation of a fluorescence labeled nucleic acid such as DNA (F-DNA), RNA (F-RNA) or DNA/RNA substrate. The label may be covalently attached to the relatively high volume substrate at one position or many positions. The nucleic acid is then put in contact with another substance and activity is detected by Fluorescence Polarization.

Absorbent foams materials that are capable of acquiring and distributing aqueous fluids, especially discharged body fluids such as urine. These absorbent foams combine relatively high capillary absorption pressures and capacity-per-weight properties that allow them to acquire fluid, with or without the aid of gravity. These absorbent foams also give up this fluid efficiently to higher absorption p...

A vehicle navigation system includes a simulated run mode along with a normal navigation mode. In the simulated run mode, a simulated present position is calculated to move in accordance with simulated motion so that route guidance information is presented to the viewer in the same manner as during actual navigation. The simulated motion may be increased or decreased, may be stepped or continuous,...
