An apparatus for mounting and securing medical/surgical devices may be attached to a litter (), The medical/surgical devices may include. for example, IV holders (), aspirators (). cardiac monitors () , defibrillators () , infusion pumps(), ventilators () and other devices. The apparatus frame assembly () includes rails (), (), (), (), (), (), (), (), () having cross-sections of standard surgical rails, for attachment of slidable rail clamps (), (). Medical device mounts (), (), () are attached to the slidable rail clamps. The medical device mounts have height and/or rotational adjustment to improve patient access and view. The apparatus may be mounted longitudinally anywhere along the litter to maximize access to the patient.

An automated, computer-driven amino acid indexer for peptide synthesis uses programmed computer, a circuit board controller, and a combination of microtiter sample well trays, light emitting diodes to illuminate each sample well, and circuitry to control the illumination of the diodes. The apparatus simplifies technical difficulties present in large-scale laboratory syntheses of peptides by substantially reducing the time required for dispensing amino acids into sample trays and reducing the occurrence of error in the process to negligible levels in typical syntheses. A programmed, automated technique for synthesizing peptides is also provided.

An apparatus for measuring insecticide activity. A chamber holds a plural of insects and a quantity of the insecticide to be tested. An exit is formed in the chamber so that insects escaping from the chamber pass through a detector to generate a signal. The signals are compared to other signals generated by the other insects passing the detector to determine the repellency of the insecticides.
