A flat bottom sheet is provided which is adapted for engagement to an underlying mattress. A plurality of biasing bands are configured to provide a biased engagement of four corners of the bottom sheet to four corners of the mattress and concurrently biasly hold side portions taught against the sides of the mattress. A top sheet may be included which is engaged to the bottom sheet and allows for concurrent engagement of both a top and bottom sheet to a mattress to which they are sized to engage.

Flat sheet providing fitted mattress engagement

Ectoparasite infestation of a substrate like bedding is detected by contacting a sample from the substrate with a polyclonal ectoparasite antibody generated from a whole ectoparasite immunogen, under conditions wherein the antibody specifically binds ectoparasite antigen in the sample.

Ectoparasite detection

A medal mounting device is comprised of a ribbon with a first end folded into a narrower strip with parallel sides. A second end of the ribbon is attached to a metal clip with foldable tabs. The first end of the ribbon is inserted through a loop attached to a medal and folded behind an intermediate portion of the ribbon. The ribbon is positioned against a medal support bar on a uniform so that the bottom of the medal is aligned with the bottoms of adjacent medals. The second end of the ribbon is folded behind the support bar, and the clip is positioned against the strip at the first end. The tabs are folded around the opposite edges of the strip and pressed against the back of the strip to secure the first end relative to the second end.

Medal mounting device

A medal mounting device is comprised of an elongated support bar with first and second recurved ends. First and second pins are respectively attached to the recurved ends. Spring clips are detachably attached to the pins. A first end of a springy, forwardly bowed clamping bar is hinged to the first recurved end and positioned behind the support bar. To use, the support bar is positioned through the looped ribbons of a plurality of medals. The clamping bar is pressed against the back of the ribbons, and its free second end tucked under the second recurved end of the support bar to clamp the ribbons in position. In another embodiment, the clamping bar is separate from the support bar. In yet another embodiment, the mounting device is comprised of a T-shaped pin inserted through the ribbon of a medal.
