Methods and compositions for detection of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the presence or absence of VVC-associated, and a plurality of BV-related bacteria in a sample is determined using multiplex nucleic acid-based testing methods.

An electric projection weapon system is provided. The weapon system includes a targeting system for projecting conductive fluid beams towards a focal point at a target location in space. The electric projection weapon comprises at least two nozzles configured to project the conductive fluid beams towards the focal point. At least one of the nozzles is actuated by a nozzle actuator and is directionally controlled to control convergence of the conductive fluid beams towards the focal point. The weapon includes isolated pressurized reservoirs in fluid communication with the nozzles and containing a high conductance ionic solution, forming the fluid beams when projected from the nozzles. A high voltage power supply applies an electric potential difference between the conductive fluid beams.

The invention consists of an actuated box and navigation aid for automatic delivery by unmanned vehicles (UAV) or drones. It also incorporates delivery information via the web linking orders, enclosure status, package specific drone homing signals, delivery confirmations and more. This system incorporates a novel and effective means for providing a standardized and predicable area for safe landing during delivery by functionalized drones. It also secures the package from theft, vandalism, animals and the weather and provides features necessary for air-traffic management.

A free-space force feedback system that can be mounted to an input/output device so as to enable its operator complete ambulatory movement is provided. The input/output device may determine operator position, motion and torque (input) so that said device can interactively impart a command torque vector force (output) so as to provide from one to six degrees of freedom and highly realistic force feedback to an operator of the input/output device. The force feedback may be imparted by at least one orthogonally oriented MACSD (Multiple Axis Counter Spinning Disk), wherein MACSD may be mounted to the input/output device, thereby coupling reaction forces to the operator so that only the desired forces (command torque vectors) are felt without the need for connection to a fixed frame.
