Exception event recorders and analysis systems include: vehicle mounted sensors arranged as a vehicle event recorder to capture both discrete and non-discrete data; a discretization facility; a database; and an analysis server all coupled together as a computer network. Motor vehicles with video cameras and onboard diagnostic systems capture data when the vehicle is involved in a crash or other anomaly (an ‘event’). In station where interpretation of non-discrete data is rendered, i.e. a discretization facility, captured data is used as a basis for production of supplemental discrete data to further characterize the event. Such interpreted data is joined to captured data and inserted into a database in a structure which is searchable and which supports logical or mathematical analysis by automated machines. A coupled analysis server is arranged to test stored data for prescribed conditions and upon finding such, to initiate further actions appropriate for the detected condition.

The enumeration of cells in fluids by flow cytometry is widely used across many disciplines such as assessment of leukocyte subsets in different bodily fluids or of bacterial contamination in environmental samples, food products and bodily fluids. For many applications the cost, size and complexity of the instruments prevents wider use, for example, CD4 analysis in HIV monitoring in resource-poor countries. The novel device, methods and algorithms disclosed herein largely overcome these limitations. Briefly, all cells in a biological sample are fluorescently labeled, but only the target cells are also magnetically labeled. The labeled sample, in a chamber or cuvet, is placed between two wedge-shaped magnets to selectively move the magnetically labeled cells to the observation surface of the cuvet. An LED illuminates the cells and a CCD camera captures the images of the fluorescent light emitted by the target cells. Image analysis performed with a novel algorithm provides a count of the cells on the surface that can be related to the target cell concentration of the original sample. The compact cytometer system provides a rugged, affordable and easy-to-use technique, which can be used in remote locations.

A mobile terminal having multiple functions allows the user easy operation of a function that they desire. The mobile terminal has first, second, third, and fourth housings. The housings each have front side and back side and have at least an input section or a display section on the front side. The housings are circularly arranged so that the front side of each housing is on the outer side and are connected with each other so that adjacent housings are foldable to each other facing back to back. Preferably, the housings are connected together such that the first and second housings are connected together, the second and third housings are connected together, the third and fourth housings are connected together, and the fourth and first housings are connected together.

A dental device includes a housing unit for removably holding sensor film and a tooth clamp disposed on the housing unit. The tooth clamp consists of first and second resilient arcuate bridges. Each of the first and second bridge has a first and second end. The first end of the first bridge and the first end of the second bridge are interconnected to one jaw of a pair of oppositely disposed jaws. The second end of the first bridge and the second end of the second bridge are interconnected to the other jaw of the pair of oppositely disposed jaws. Each of the oppositely disposed jaws includes a gripping plate, an aperture and a tab for engaging a flexible sheet.

A novel hydraulic jack kit is disclosed comprising a specialized jack configured to be compatible with selectively interchangeable components. The specialized jack on its own is configured to lift vehicles such as motorbikes and snowmobiles completely off the floor, so that the only support is the jack itself. The specialized jack is also configured to receive a platform component that converts the jack into one suitable for lifting automobiles with a large wheel base that will have two wheels remaining on the floor when lifted. It is further configured to receive a platform component that converts the jack into one suitable for lifting a vehicle with a short wheel base, where the elevated vehicle adopts a large angle of elevation. In all configurations, a novel stabilizing structure is provided.
