A system and method for providing prescriptive analytics in an industrial process wherein a machine tap collects raw performance data from a machine, a machine user interface collects context data on operation of the machine, a server aggregates the performance data and context data, and an analytics engine analyzes the performance data and context data and generates analytics data. An alert engine compares the performance data, context data, and analytics data against a trigger definition, creates an alert if the trigger definition is satisfied, and sends the alert to a remote device to provide prescriptive guidance for improving process performance.

Augmented industrial management

A device and system for measuring equipment performance having one or more sensors that measure functionality of equipment without interactive communication between the sensors and equipment. The one or more sensors generate and transmit data related to functionality of the equipment to a microprocessor. The microprocessor contains an algorithm that converts the data related to functionality of the equipment into equipment utilization metrics. These equipment utilization metrics are transmitted by a transmitter to an equipment operator.

An indexable terminal retainer for a modular wiring system includes a retainer body that retains a terminal, the retainer body being dimensioned to fit within a retainer-receiving holder of a plug or receptacle. The indexable terminal retainer further includes a locking member for locking the retainer body to the retainer-receiving holder to prevent rotation of the retainer body within the retainer-receiving holder.

Indexable terminal retainer and method of making plugs

A terminal retainer for a modular wiring system includes a first retainer component made of an electrically insulating material, an internal post protruding from an inner surface of the first retainer component, a terminal made of an electrically conductive material and adapted to be electrically joined to an electrical wire, the terminal having a hole for mounting the terminal on the post, and a second retainer component also made of the electrically insulating material, the second retainer component being adapted to attach to the first retainer component to form the terminal retainer.

Terminal retainer for plug or receptacle of modular wiring system

The thermal cycling system for performing a biological reaction at two or more different temperatures comprises: a) a heat source for setting at a fixed temperature; b) a reaction vessel containing material upon which the biological reaction is to be performed; c) mechanically-operable structure for altering the relative position of the heat source and the reaction vessel so that reaction vessel first achieves and maintains a desired first temperature in the reaction vessel for starting the carrying out of the biological reaction, and then for altering the relative position of the heat source and the reaction vessel so that the reaction vessel then achieves and maintains a second temperature for continuing the carrying out of the biological reaction on the biological material, and d) temperature-sensing structure operatively associated with the reaction vessel for controlling the altering of the relative position of the heat source and the reaction vessel so that the reaction vessel achieves and maintains the desired second temperature in the reaction vessel.

Thermal cycling by positioning relative to fixed-temperature heat source

Methods and apparatus are described for nucleic acid analysis of swab samples without the need for purification.

Direct nucleic acid analysis

A reaction tube for use in performing the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in a thermal cycler, is provided herein such reaction tube includes a hollow tube of heat conducting synthetic plastics material having an open top and a flat bottom formed of an optically-clear material. Such reaction tube also includes a solid plug cap nesting within said hollow tube and to provide a minimized void volume within the hollow tube and to minimize evaporation and condensation of the biological fluid.
