An assay device for detecting the presence of analytes in an unknown sample including a reaction system wherein storage reservoirs containing reagent are fluidly connected to a track containing the sample. An actuation mechanism forces the reagent from the reservoirs and into the track where it mixes the reagents together and then with the sample at a first flow rate. The mechanism then reduces the force on the reagent to allow a second flow rate less then the first flow rate to force the reagent and sample mixture through the track so that reaction can occur, whereby a determination as to whether the target analyte was present may be made.

A shoulder screw having a centrally positioned borehole concentric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the screw and a cylindrical center-tapped bolt receiver loosley positioned within the centrally positioned borehole of the shoulder screw and coupled thereto by a roll pin positioned perpendicularly with respect to the axis of said shoulder screw, the diameter of the bolt receiver being less than the diameter of the borehole, for enabling the bolt receiver to translate in a direction transverse to the axis of the shoulder screw.

A thermal heat transfer member is disclosed for use in electronic or microwave systems with particular application to advanced avionic systems. This thermal heat transfer member for line replaceable module (LRM) comprises; a bottom cover, a grid partition bottom means, a solid thermal plane material fixedly interconnected to the grid partition bottom means, a grid partition top means fixedly interconnected upon the thermal plane, sandwiching the thermal plane between the grid partition top and the grid partition bottom, and finally, a top cover. The utilization of a 'building block' approach and composite high strength heat-conductive materials designed to dissipate heat away from electronic devices and components mounted within the LRM operate to produce a radio frequency LRM of high heat conductivity with reduced weight ideal for utilization in advanced development avionic systems subject to extreme G-force and stress in avionic system operation.
