Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50
- Nice pictures, ISO 1000
- Poor burst mode
Bottom Line
The W50 is a great camera, with good performance very similar to the W30, but with a slightly larger LCD display.
Price$ 499.00 (AUD)
The Sony DSC-W50 - a slightly upgraded version of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W30 - exhibits strong performance and is an excellent camera for day-to-day photography. The key differences between the two cameras are the larger LCD display on the DSC-W50 and the higher price tag.
What really impressed us about the DSC-W50 was its excellent performance across the full range of our Imatest checks, performance that matched the impressive DSC-W30 that we tested in May, 2006.
With a sharpness score of 1270, it performed well for a 6 megapixel model. Anything over 1200 is a good result for a camera of this level, and our shots reflected this with crisp, well defined edges. Sony has complemented this with an incredibly low .033% chromatic aberration score, which means the sharpness is consistent across the whole shot and this really enhances the final image.
Continuing this strong performance, the W50 scored 10 in our Colour Checker test. We consider anything below 10 to be an excellent result, and so while it just missed out on that bracket we were quite pleased with the end result. Red was the least accurate of the colours, a common problem among many point and shoots. The rest of the colour spectrum was well balanced with no major inaccuracies.
Rounding out a nice list of results was the W50's image noise score of .52%. Again, it fell just outside of the .5% bracket we classify as truly excellent, but it wasn't far off. Our shots exhibited no signs of the speckling that appear on many rival models' shots and everything was crisp and clean.
Performance and Features
The feature set on the W50 is virtually identical to its sibling. All the usual features are there, a variety of metering and focus modes, white balance presets (although no custom setting) and basic tweaks like colour and contrast. Once again Sony impresses with ISO settings all the way up to 1000 which gives it a big advantage over competing models that cap at 400 or 800. We found the burst fire mode to be disappointing, firing two frames a second for a mere three shots. We were also less than satisfied with the seven pre-set scene modes; some cameras offer upwards of twenty.
The camera performed at a fairly average level in our speed tests, with a shutter lag of just under .1 of a second. Power-up was a little sluggish at 2.2 seconds, but shot-to-shot time was a fairly speedy .12 of a second. The W50 has quite impressive battery life, lasting over 300 shots in our testing before needing a charge.
The camera comes in a standard silver chassis, although black is also available. It has a mostly metal body and feels durable enough to take a few knocks. The design is utilitarian for a very functional product.
The rear of the unit houses the 2.5in LCD display, half an inch larger than the display on the DSC-W30. The display quality was acceptable but did not stand out from the crowd.
We found the controls also followed this trend. There is a function wheel which gives access to the key shooting modes, as well as the different scene settings, and the menu system controls the rest. While we prefer dual menus for easy access to camera settings, Sony's menu is subdivided and works quite well. All the controls were easily accessible and felt securely mounted.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Kiss your old life goodbye and prepare for a plethora of bruises in the most obscure parts of your body.
When people ask you if you want kids of your own and you just stand there blankly and say, 'uhhhhhh' and run away. Forever.
Some of you may be compulsive people pleasers. You only think of yourself after everyone else has been taken care of. Well, during your pregnancy, it's your turn to sit back and enjoy the first place, the center of attention. Whether it's getting a seat on a crowded bus or not having to stand in line, people will bend over backwards to accommodate you.
Some call it beautiful; mother nature at its purest. The truth is, it's messy.
Due to your substantial roll in building our family, you will be permitted to continue releasing eggs on a monthly basis as you see fit, until the day you shrivel up and turn into the useless, fleshy raisins you are destined to become
You celebrate the little things every single day.
They're the most body confident people on the planet.
I did my best to ignore them and laugh about it instead. "Me? A mom? Bahaha!" Because sometimes that's all you can do so you don't flip the closest table and start throwing punches at the sky.
I've been asked multiple times, "When are you having kids?" and I can't help but wonder why so many people are interested in when my husband and I are having sex. I smile and change the topic immediately, but it doesn't mean I don't see their judging eyes and bitter frowns.
Real men tell us how they really feel about a tradition that's rarely questioned.

"I view psychotherapy as a collaboration aimed at fostering greater self understanding while working toward personal change and symptom reduction. I strive to help my patients reach greater fulfillment in their lives by fostering understanding of the interpersonal patterns and unresolved personal, life and/or relationship issues that contribute to the challenges they face."
"I approach my clients collaboratively with a warm, accepting and compassionate attitude. I believe developing a trusting relationship is the most effective foundation to approach the hardships and mind habits we all face in life. I use specific CBT and Mindfulness skills to help my clients reduce symptoms and feel better soon. Anxiety, obsessiveness and depressed feelings can be significantly reduced while I teach clients how to govern the mind, creating new habits and strategies. As a practitioner of mindfulness who has attended many Insight Meditation retreats, I can share with you the benefits of attention from both personal and professional experience."
"I enjoy being able to work with children and adolescents in an outdoor setting. Children interact with the world through play. Office settings frequently feel stifling for children as there is not room for active play. Further, incorporating horses into my work enables me to connect with children in a more natural manner. Both my clients and I are able to focus on the connection with the horse rather than focusing strictly on each other. This makes connection more comfortable. Change is difficult. The more we can help change feel natural, the more likely it is to stick."
"I have over 13 years of experience working with people across the lifespan, including children from birth through adolescence and their families. I have learned that when children are dealing with difficult feelings or adjusting to life changes, it is often hard for them to put their experiences into words. Instead, they show us with their behaviors. I enjoy helping children with a variety of issues find ways to express themselves through the art of play, storytelling, and other creative processes."
"Sometimes in life we question where we are going or cannot seem to find a path to get to where we want to be ~ to be happy with ourselves and at peace. My goal is to create a safe, respectful and caring atmosphere where one may explore and begin to understand one's thoughts, behaviors and feelings. To begin to understand is to open a door to accepting and loving oneself. Together with my clients, we explore their dreams, challenges and fears. Along this journey there can be self-discovery, problem solving and self love."

Huge campground only one section reservable rest first come first serve. We saw several deer and a lot of wild turkeys. Sites are large. - MJ60

With some advance planning, this campground is very nice. One needs a full water tank and empty sewer and gray to start. 50 amp is the norm. The sites are great, some on water, all in shade. Length is no issue. There is a motel-like inn and a restaurant on the property, and I could see using this park for a family reunion: some folks camping, others in rooms. The lake is scenic and large. I'm not sure about boat rentals, etc. Check out the website. - exceltraveler
May 2011 - $20.00
This is a really nice campground. There are 5 loops, only 1 (Bay Area) can be reserved (via Reserveamerica.gov). The camp hosts are located within Shady Loop and Lake View loops. One host is on duty at any given time. The interior roads and sites are on asphalt and are very wide. Almost all of the sites are around 60 feet long. A 40 foot motorhome with a tow can easily fit into most of the sites. Most of the sites are fairly level and there is lots of room between each site. All sites have electricity: most have 30/15 amp service. There are sites scattered around the park that have 50/30 amp service. Water is available at the dump station and there are a few water spigots in each loop. You would need a very long hose to access them. There is only one sewer at the dump station for the entire park. The bathroom/showers are the typical state park facilities. They are usable but not very appealing. We chose not to use them. There is also a nice bike path circling the campground. Be aware that there is no signage on the bike path. Verizon air card and cell phone service worked well here. We would definitely come back here again if we were in the area. - adsaxs

One of the best parks we have ever stayed in. The young owner and his wife have only owned the park for a little over a year. The nicest people! The restrooms and laundry are SO clean and there is a salt water pool. The sites have grass and old beautiful trees with gravel level pads. Very quiet and well maintained.
They raise different breeds of chickens and he gives the eggs to his guests.
Wish we could have stayed longer. - Tahoewinegirl
Aug 2016 - $35.00
We chose a one night stay at this park due to its location and easy access to the interstate. Our pull-through site was level with plenty of room so that we did not have to unhook. The park is shaded by tall trees that don't interfere with navigation.
At check-in, the manager gave us six of her hens' fresh eggs as a gift. (They were delicious!)
The park is well manicured and scrupulously clean. The bathroom and shower areas were clean and freshly painted, but rather basic. There was no cable and the WiFi worked fairly well, although the park was sparsely populated. A good place for big rigs. We would certainly stay here again. - cbcon2

We stayed at this campground last year, and it is just as lovely as before. It was raining the entire time we were here, which is the same as last year! Hmmm maybe it's us. We had a very nice long pull through site. Unable to get satellite because the park is heavily treed. No problem navigating. Roads and sites are gravel. Site is level. We did wake up our last morning here with the power out. Not sure how long it had been out. Power was restored quickly. Good water pressure, no cable. Decent wifi. Good drainage, again we had rain solid for 2 days, and no flooding problems. This is a nice quiet park. Pretty and well kept. We would definitely stay here again. - Vicki K

Loved it!
Most sites are electric only, many are pretty level concrete. Bike path nearby is good for a ten mile out and back total. Has dump station and clean water available. Use your National Parks card for 1/2 off!!! - Sir_Charles395
Apr 2016 - $16.00
I liked this park, but there are 32 seriously bad sites out of the 100 available. Sites are asphalt & well spread apart with paved interior roads. Most back-ins have a good angle with the road to make for an easy in/out. There's a gorgeous lake here for water sports plus plenty of room for kids to ride bikes & play. Sites have a fire pit & picnic table. There's no wifi and satellite access is unlikely due to trees. We picked up ABC & NBC on antenna. Verizon had a strong signal. There's one nice bathhouse and a couple of small out-buildings with toilet only. Some sites are 50A electric only while some are full hook up. You can see that info on their recreation.gov web page when selecting a site. There is a dump and several water spigots in the electric only sections. Pedestals are deep in the back of each site. Now for the caveats. Some sites are so wildly unlevel that I felt compelled to tally what I saw. Generally level sites: 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 37, 38, 42, 45, 46, 60, 62, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, 74, 76, 78, 80, 87, 92, & 96. Front to Back down-sloping sites: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 30, 34, 36, 40, 44, 49, 50, 58, 67, 70, 79, 82, 83, 85, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99, 100. Front to back up-sloping site: 41 Two pull-thrus (51 & 59) are okay in the middle but sloped up at both ends. I wouldn't take any of the following sites in a moderate sized fifth wheel or larger. A small travel trailer or pop-up might be okay or maybe you have mountain goat in your blood. Side to side sloping sites: 47, 64, 88, & 90. Both sloping down and side to side sloping sites: 22, 35, 43, 52, 53, 54, 61, 63, 66, & 75. These last few are laughable & unusable as they are better suited as ski jumps or skate board ramps: 1, 12, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 39, 48, 55, 56, 57, 65, 77, 81, 84, 86, & 91. - Danno

These campgrounds are beautiful! There are 5 or 6 on Rend Lake. The spaces were laid out so that you aren't staring at someone elses camper out your front window. - Thorfinn
May 2013 - $8.00
Our rate reflects the golden access discount. This is a popular campground with many retirees staying the full 14 days. Some of the sites are waterfront, and reserved well in advance. There are 2 shower houses, the one closest to the fee booth is the one we used, and very modern, clean and immaculate. We checked out the other one and it was rather skanky. We really enjoyed riding the bike trail-- rode down to the South Sandusky Campground, the beach and the marina. The bike trail wound through the woods on nice new, smooth cement. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will return. - midcenturynana
May 2012 - $24.00
Several lake front sites available; near a large, beautiful public beach. If staying in the Hickory or White Oak sections, beware that the main bathroom facilities are over a mile away. Excellent biking trail to South Sandusky Campground and on down to the beach. Make reservations well ahead of time for weekends, many sites will fill up with campers and boats / boat trailers for the water recreation. - luv2cmp

As with most Army Corp campgrounds, this was a very nice campground. The sites are paved with most having a concrete pad adjacent to the blacktop drive. (Some of the concrete pads are in need of replacement.) Most sites have parking for more than one vehicle. The roads are nicely paved and great for bicycling as are the bike trails. Our site was one of the sites with sewer as well as water and electricity. Very nice, especially when you're staying for two weeks. - BurrKo
Jul 2016 - $16.00
Many sites have separate parking for your tow. Some are close to areas where boats can be parked. Some FHU and some electric only. - T
Jul 2016 - $12.00
Not sure why people rate this park so high. Differences of opinion I guess. It is a basic campground with back-in sites on the blind side. Yes, it has nice big sites and is quiet. If that is all it takes to rate a campground high, well there you go. Most sites are sloped to the rear. Water pressure was very good. The grass at my site needed cutting. No wifi, weak antenna tv signals. Knowledgeable check-in staff. Lots of deer in the park. Had a skunk come thru my site one evening. Glad I saw him before he saw me. Narrow loop roads and some trees on those loop roads need trimming. Directions on the park's site take you across the dam. Instead of that, it is easier to turn right at the Walmart (N Central St) once you get off the highway, then 1/4 mile past Walmart (keep Walmart on your right) turn left at the first stop sign (Rend Lake Rd). Follow that road about 5 miles to the park entrance. There is one 90 degree turn (Rend Lake Rd becomes Mine 24 Rd) about 1/4 mile after you make the first left. Other than that turn, there are 2 stop signs and VERY little traffic. The camp entrance will be on your right. - TH travelers

This is an Army Corp of Engineer campground. Price reflects the Federal senior discount for water/ electric site. Full hookups are a few $ more. This is a gorgeous campground on Rend Lake. Clean, quiet, well maintained, and friendly. There is a boat launch and there are tie-ups along the shoreline for keeping your boat near your site during your stay. The sites are all paved, but vary in length and levelness. This is a great place for an extended stay or a vacation. - parkinit
Sep 2013 - $12.00
We really enjoyed our stay at South Sandusky campground. We practically had the place to ourselves as we were there after Labor Day. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The grounds and roads were in great shape. The rate was with the senior discount. - dreamer51
Jul 2013 - $18.00
Wonderful time. Go during non holiday weekends if you really want piece and quiet. Full hookups are closer to the site loop entrances and not by the water. The only exception to this would be Gunn Creek. - pvcox

Directions were good. Access good. Interior roads and sites are all gravel. Despite lots of rain the park drained well. This is an older KOA and sites are a little tight. Limited number of pull thru sites so call ahead. Great places to walk the dogs across the street and around the owner's pond. Nicest folks run this place. - okdiver
Aug 2016 - $30.00
Camp host is very friendly and helpful. That's as good as it gets. They need to grade the gravel road to sites, rough. Don't get site 23. We could not get level, its on a hill. They need to level some of the sites. We were in the back by the interstate and could hear the noise. It seems like a lot of long term people in here.
Cable with about 100 channels and wifi worked good as well. - virginiagirl2015

We were not sure what to expect since this is right off the interstate with quite a few restaurants and a Walmart. It is clean, pleasant lady (Tiffany) who walked us to our site. Site is gravel, level and pull through. Since we are only staying overnight I am not expecting a vacation resort experience. This is a good spot to get some groceries etc. This is not a trailer park. - JBE2016

Found the park on our way to St. Louis. It is very convenient about 2 miles from the interstate. The grounds are charming and the park is situated directly on a lake. You can see the water from most of the property, but most sites are not directly on the lake. There is a walking path around the lake, lots of playground area, a Rec center and lots of friendly people. Seems like a lot of full timers. The park had character and charm and a good value. There are tents as well as RV and campers. The only thing I must say is the park is not suffocated. We were asked to join in on their weekly fish fry and it was a kick. - Road Chateau

We stayed for 2 nights, multiple times, we always look forward to returning. It is a county park, run as a simple, basic RV campground. Arrowhead offers very spacious, comfortable sites, a few are waterfront, on gravel base. They are a diamond in the rough. It is touch tricky to access off 57, but it is a straight trip thru the small town of Johnston City, watch for the signs. Quaint, small office and TV room with wifi and very colorful and very friendly seasonal folk. Electric and water at the site and pump out is available at the exit. Fishing licenses for Illinois anglers is required if you fish and a two mile scenic walking path around the lake is popular. - Jeannie and Eddy
Jul 2015 - $12.00
A real surprise. This is a nice little park next to Arrowhead Lake. It has a lot of full time or seasonal residents, but we had a nice site that was saved for overnight guests. The people we very nice and we enjoyed the park. Drive in was easy and the roads were fine. Our site was level and near the lake. Would stay here again. Great value. - Bud in Florida

The present importance of metabolomics to go inside the unsolved secrets of living organisms, as a single discipline or together with other omics, has opened interest in analytical platforms to obtain proper metabolomic information. The steps involved in developing these platforms (viz sampling, sample storage, sample preparation, individual metabolites separation, if required, and detection) are critically discussed as a function of the type of organism under study, the type of sample, and the families of metabolites to be analyzed. An overview of the fundamentals of key equipment in metabolomics, such as that based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry or mass spectrometry (MS), is also given for better understanding of its usefulness in this discipline.

Google's Print Auction Fizzles from BusinessWeek covers how the new
Google Publication Ads
program didn't exactly raise tons of money after its
first public
auction. One advertiser got a bargain, a $59,000 space (at rate card rates) in
Martha Stewart Living for only $4,000. The question is, how much did Google pay
for the right to resell that space? No one's saying. Google says demand was
light but they are pleased with the test. Another advertiser is cited as
spending $3,000 for a print ad through Google that brought in $181 in sales. But
he wishes he'd just spent that money on search ads, now.

What Can I Do My Extended Essay On
So AMD are basically saying the 295X2 is designed for 4K gaming. Certainly in their current range it has the most chance of achieving this, but what can $1500 worth of graphics card actually do? Well first off, we can breeze through 1080p testing. Nothing we tested troubled the R9 295X2 at that resolution, with max detail.
Up at 4K resolution we can play just about anything with medium detail, on occasion stepping up to high/maximum. Titanfall for example runs with everything on at 4k resolution, Crysis 3 required us to drop to medium, Thief was a "high" game but on Battlefield 4 we were back up to maximum in game settings with flawless framerates. Any negatives? The first, which is more of an observation, is that this card doesn't benefit from Mantle… in fact it hampered performance for us. More importantly though, like all dual GPU configurations this card is impacted by driver profiles. In games where Crossfire works well (e.g. BF4) the 295X2 is great. In others, it hits the level of an overclocked 290X.
So that brings us to power and thermal performance. In our testing the R9 295X never hit the 500w advertised reading (during normal gameplay), or the 75°C temp which AMD state as their limit. Instead it ran at around 400-450w power draw when gaming with an idle temp of 35°C. Most impressive of all though were the gaming temps where the 295X2 rarely went above 65°C, often running below 60°C when gaming in our test environment.
Dissertation D Economie Et Corriges Summary: A big leap forward from AMD in build quality for a reference card. Pricing could be an issue but for those who don't see that as a problem this is a low noise, low temp product which offers flawless performance at 1080p and some impressive framerates at 4k.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 023,790, filed Mar. 26, 1979.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is in the field of medical instruments and more particularly, relates to a device for obtaining a culture sample from a particular portion of a body passage, while avoiding contamination of the sample from other portions of the passage.
2. The Prior Art
Although the device of the present invention can be used effectively in obtaining a sample from any of several body passages, the device was developed originally in response to the need for a better way of obtaining samples from the trachea and/or bronchial areas while avoiding contamination of the sample by organisms in the mouth.
Heretofore, such samples were obtained by surgical penetration into the trachea. An incision was made in the neck of the patient and a hollow-bore needle was inserted into the trachea. Next, a catheter was passed through the hollow needle and into the trachea. Thereafter, a sample of the secretion was aspirated through the catheter. Although this procedure bypasses the patient's mouth, and avoids mouth contaminants, it was, nevertheless, a specialty procedure, relatively expensive to perform and carrying bleeding complications, discomfort to the patient, and risk of penetration to surrounding structures.
The problem of obtaining uncontaminated samples is well-known, and a number of different approaches to the problem have been suggested. The known approaches all require relatively complicated rigid structures which entail some risk of sample contamination.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,037,496, issued June 5, 1962, Melges discloses a fertility testing apparatus, including three telescoping tubes and a rupturable closure at the distal end. Extension of the testing element beyond the contaminated distal end of the tube is limited, and accordingly, contamination of the sample at the end of the tube is possible.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,513,830, issued May 26, 1970 to Kalayjian, there is shown an instrument for obtaining body cultures in which a tube is closed at the distal end by a cap which is opened by pushing from within the tube, and once the cap has been opened, the sample-taking surface is extended through the open distal end of the tube. Because the cap is contaminated, it is possible for the sampling swab to become contaminated as it is extended past the cap.
The devices shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,394,699, issued July 10, 1968 to Koett and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,438,366, issued Apr. 15, 1969 to Kariher et al., employ similar arrangements at the distal end of the device for reducing contamination of the sample. In these devices, an inner rod includes a sealing knob which fits into the distal end of the tube to seal it to prevent contamination of the sample-gathering surface which is located on the central rod adjacent the knob at its end. During insertion, the knob becomes contaminated, and the same motion which exposes the sampling surface also smears the contaminated material on the knob along the area to be sampled, thereby contaminating the area.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,017,879, issued Jan. 23, 1962 to Sapit et al., there is shown a fertility tester in which the sampling tip is extended through a hole at the end of the tube after the tube has been put in place. This device, like the Melges device discussed above, has no provision for preventing contamination of the sampling material by the contaminated distal end of the tube.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,023,559, issued May 17, 1977 to Gaskell there is shown a sampling device in which the swab is surrounded by two telescoped tubes. After the device has been placed in position, the inner tube which encloses the swab is pushed through the distal end of the outer tube which has been cut to form segments which normally close the end of the outer tube, but which are resiliently displaceable by the inner tube. The inner tube is then extended through the distal end of the outer tube, and finally, the swab is extended beyond the distal end of the inner tube. Although this device is an improvement over previous devices, there is still a reduced risk of contamination. The device must necessarily be relatively rigid, and therefore may not be suitable for use in certain body passages.
Thus, the amount of effort expended by previous workers in the field indicates the importance of the problem and suggests that the ideal solution has not yet been found.
The present invention avoids surgical penetration into the body passage, such as the trachea, to obtain an uncontaminated sample. Compared to the devices described above, the present invention significantly reduces contamination of the sample. The structure of the device of the present invention is more flexible than other devices known in the art and it can be produced less expensively. Use of the device of the present invention is relatively simple.
In accordance with the present invention, a sterile sleeve everts from the distal end of a tube that has been inserted into a body passage thereby providing a sterile curtain surrounding the tube and protecting it from contamination from the outer portions of the device.
In accordance with the present invention, the device includes a stiff flexible tube which is surrounded by a pliable sleeve of plastic film. The distal end of the sleeve is tucked into the distal end of the tube. Thereafter, a pliable bag of plastic film is bonded to the outer surface of the sleeve near its distal end so that the bag protects the distal end of the tube from contamination as the distal end is passed through the body passage. Once the distal end of the tube has nearly reached the desired sampling location, the protective bag is broken and as the tube is further inserted, the portion of the sleeve that had been tucked into the tube everts to provide a sterile protective curtain spaced along the interior of the passage between the contaminated bag and the sterile tip of the tube.
Once the tube has thus been deployed, the sample may be captured by applying suction to the proximal end of the tube, by inserting a swab through the tube to the area to be sampled, or by inserting a sampling tube through the deployed tube, injecting a wash through the sampling tube, and then withdrawing the culture-bearing wash through the sampling tube. The most appropriate one of these three sampling techniques would be chosen with regard to the specific medical situation presented.
It is seen that the device of the present invention includes only one stiff part, namely the tube. The other parts are constructed of a plastic film in a preferred embodiment. This construction serves to distinguish the present invention from devices known to the art and results in a device which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. Thus, it is contemplated that the device would be disposed of following its use.
The novel features, which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its structure, its method of manufacture, and its method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the culture sampling device of the present invention as it will be sold;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the distal end of the culture sampling device;
FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of the device of FIG. 2 in the direction 3--3 indicated in FIG. 2;
FIGS. 4a-4h are side views showing the culture sampling device of the present invention at various successive stages of its assembly;
FIGS. 5a-5d are diagrams illustrating successive stages in the emplacement of the culture sampling device; and,
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the taking of a sample by means of the device.
Turning now to the drawings in which like parts are denoted by the same reference numeral throughout, there is shown in FIG. 1 the culture sampling device of the present invention as it would be packaged for sale. The device is seen to include a tube 10, a sleeve 12 and a bag 14. The sampling device will be packaged in a wrapper 16 when sold, the wrapper 16 serving to maintain its contents in a clean, but not necessarily sterile, condition. The culture sampling device includes a proximal end 18 and a distal end 20.
The perspective view of FIG. 2 shows the distal end 20 of the culture sampling device in greater detail, the device being cut away to reveal the structure more clearly. It is seen that the sleeve 12 surrounds the tube 10 and that the distal end 22 of the sleeve is tucked into the distal end 24 of the tube. The bag 14 surrounds the distal end 24 of the tube as well as the portion of the sleeve which surrounds the distal end 24 of the tube. The bag 14 is bonded to the sleeve 12 in a bond 26 which extends completely around the sleeve 12. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in the direction 3--3 shown in FIG. 2.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bag 14 provides an enclosure for the distal end 24 of the tube and for the portion of the sleeve 12 which extends distally from the bond 26.
In a preferred embodiment of the culture sampling device for use in obtaining a virgin sample of lower airway material for bacteriologic study, the tube 10 consists of Teflon, although polyethylene could be used. The tube measures approximately 38 cm in length and has an outer diameter of 6 mm and an inside diameter of 5 mm; the tube 10 is thus flexible but not pliant.
In the same preferred embodiment, the sleeve 12 consists of a thin film of pliable polyethylene approximately 43 cm in length. The bag 14 also consists of a thin film of polyethylene approximately 1.5 mils thick and roughly 18 mm across its distal end.
For reasons which will become clear later, it is important that the distal end 24 of the tube 10 have a smooth finish, and in various embodiments, the distal end 24 of the tube is rounded, beaded, or slightly flanged outwardly. Because the material of which the tube 10 is formed is normally supplied in long coils, the blunting and/or smoothing of the distal end 24 of the tube is preferably accomplished by forcing the distal end against an extremely hot flat surface or mandrel.
FIGS. 4a-4h are diagrams illustrating successive stages in fabricating the culture sampling device. As shown in FIG. 4a, a tubular piece of polyethylene film is cut to a length of approximately 38 cm to provide the sleeve 12, and a paper-like sheet of Teflon-coated fiberglass cloth in the form of a strip 30 is inserted into the distal end of the sleeve. The distal end of the sleeve is then accordion-folded as indicated in FIG. 4a to produce the configuration shown in FIG. 4b. A clip is used to hold the folded sleeve in the configuration shown in FIG. 4b.
Next, the bag 14 is partially formed by superimposing two squares of 1.5 mil polyethylene film measuring approximately 5 cm square and bonding the squares together a few millimeters inside one edge to form the bond 32. It is critical that this bond break under an appropriate amount of manual force, and in the best known mode of producing the device the bond 32 is produced by the use of a Vertrod 14 WHDR thermal impulse machine, which is a pneumatically-powered high-speed thermal impulse trim sealer with blowoff. Heat and dwell are adjusted to 31/2-4 and this setting is found to produce the desired results. The thus-bonded two squares of polyethylene material which will form the bag 14 are laid on a surface and the distal end of the sleeve 12 is inserted between the two sheets as shown in FIG. 4c. Next, a high-strength bond 26 is formed, joining the entire circumference of the sleeve 12 to the bag. The strip 30 prevents the opposite sides of the sleeve 12 from being bonded together, which would close the sleeve undesirably at the bond 26. At this point in the process, the bag is closed at opposite ends by the bonds 32, 26, but remains open at the sides. Next, as shown in FIG. 4d, the bag 14 is drawn to one side, the accordion-folded sleeve 12 is drawn through one of the open sides of the bag 14 and is unfolded, and the strip 30 is then withdrawn from the sleeve.
As indicated in FIG. 4e the tube 10 is next inserted into the sleeve 12, normally through the proximal end of the sleeve, and the distal end 22 of the sleeve is tucked into the distal end 24 of the tube 10 by the use of a ramrod-like tool 36, which typically is passed entirely through the tube 10 from its distal end 24 to emerge from the proximal end of the tube. After the distal end 22 of the sleeve has been tucked into the distal end 24 of the tube and after the bag 14 has been returned to its normal position, the device has the intermediate form shown in FIG. 4f. Thereafter, the sides of the bag 14 are sealed by the bonds 38 as shown in FIG. 4g, and then the proximal end of the sleeve is closed by the bond 40 as shown in FIG. 4h. Thereafter, the device of FIG. 4h may be sealed in the wrapper 16 and sterilized. In a preferred embodiment, the side bonds 38 are impressed at a slightly angle so that the final bag shape is a trapezoid in which the bond 26 is approximately 26 mm in length while the bond 32 is approximately 18 mm in length. In accordance with normal practice, excess material remaining outside the trapezoid formed by the bonds 32, 26, 38 is trimmed away.
In another embodiment, the bond 26 is produced first, then the distal end of the sleeve is tucked into the distal end of the tube and the remaining bonds are produced to close the bag. In still another embodiment the bond 32 and one of the bonds 38 are produced, then the distal end of the sleeve is tucked into the distal end of the tube, and finally bonds 26, 38 are produced.
The procedure for using the culture sampling device of the present invention is relatively simple. After routine bronchoscopic sedation, the patient is placed in a supine position with neck flexed and head extended. The device is removed from its protective wrapper 16. While the glottic opening is visualized with a standard laryngoscope, the tube is passed between the patient's vocal chords to a level of approximately two inches past the glottic opening as shown in FIG. 5b. At this stage it must be assumed that the entire exposed surface of the sleeve and the surface of the bag are covered with oral contaminant organisms, as indicated by a number of small dots in FIG. 5b.
The physician then holds the sleeve 12 stationary while forcing the tube forward, thereby rupturing the bond 32, as shown in FIG. 5c. Thereafter, the tube 10 is advanced, causing the portion of the sleeve 12 that was tucked within the distal end 24 of the tube to progressively evert from the distal end of the tube to form a progressively lengthening sterile shield isolating the extended distal end 24 of the tube from the contaminated surfaces of the bag 14 and the sleeve 12, as shown in FIG. 5d.
Once the distal end 24 of the tube has been emplaced in the region from which the sample is to be taken, as shown in FIG. 5d, the sample may be captured by any of several techniques well-known in the art. As shown in FIG. 6, a small-bore sampling tube or catheter may be inserted through the tube 10, and a wash can be injected through the sampling tube 42 to the area to be sampled. The wash is then withdrawn through the sampling tube and the entire apparatus is removed from the patient. In other circumstances, it may be practical to draw a fluid to be sampled directly through the tube 10. Also, under some circumstances it may be practical to insert through the tube 10 a sterile swab on which the sample is collected.
Thus, there has been described a culture sampling device which provides positive isolation between the portion of the device which contacts the sampled region and the contaminated portion of the device. The culture sampling device of the present invention is relatively simple in its construction and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
The culture sampling device has been described in the context of obtaining samples from the tracheal and bronchial regions of a patient's airway. The particular utility of the invention in connection with this environment does not limit the fields in which it may be exploited. It should be clear that the culture sampling device of the present invention can be used for obtaining samples from other body passages, wherever there is risk that the sample will be contaminated by cultures in other portions of the body passage.
The foregoing detailed discription is illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that additional embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The embodiments described herein together with the additional embodiments are considered to be within the scope of the invention.

An 8-month-old boy who had a Sertoli cell tumor of the testis was alive and well 4½ years later. Review of the 23 patients with Sertoli cell tumor, including ours, showed 16 patients who were under 1 year of age. Two patients had a bilateral tumor. In another patient, it was located in an undescended testis. Sexual precocity occurred in one boy, and gynecomastia occurred in three boys, but regressed in two of them, following orchiectomy. Malignancy, as evidenced by retroperitoneal lymph node metastases, was present in only one boy. Since there are no clear-cut, gross or microscopical, pathological criteria to determine malignancy in this type of testicular tumor, careful follow-up is suggested.

So you saw the title and you just said yourself, a peanut butter chocolate chips cookie, déjà vu! It is true, there is already a recipe on my blog, but not the one of Eric Kayser. And now you think this is a trickery. Soon you'll just have to copy an other post and change the name, Bim here is an other Article. But I say NO! this recipe is similar but the texture and taste are different.
Vanilla chocolate rolled biscuit
New year implies to keep up the good habits. It is not because we are in 2016 that I won't continue what I started, and for that I tried a new cookie recipe. I you rode some of my other articles you might know that I really like such kind of dried biscuits. When I say dry, of course I mean the kind of biscuits without any cream or filling, biscuits you can put into your bag and bring everywhere you want. And of course share them, or not!
Almond pears pie – The bourdalou pie
It is already January and the occasion for me to whish you a happy New Year 2016. Be this year full of good food and desire to bake. But no excess! You can't blame me for breaking your good resolutions. During this new year you'll have to enjoy but in a balanced way. A bit of sport, a bit of pastry and this new year will be marvellous.
Pies Variation
When friends are coming to visit, what is better than some individual small pastry? and what is better than an individual pie ! Because yes, pies got the power to please everybody and to be available in 1000 variation. Well maybe 999 one but I never really counted.
Brownie Cookie So Good !
Is there a better idea than bake cookies? I don't think so. I guess I already told it but for me cookies are kind of the perfect pastry. It is so simple to bake, so simple to carry and so simple to share. Cookies are the kind of biscuits I often bake when I meet my friend, and it is always a huge success. With this recipe I even brought some to my dentist, wanting to show that sugar isn't so bad!
Bam the Tiramisu!
So Creamy and so soft, the Tiramisu is a great dessert to finish a meal. And on the top of that there is also chocolate in it ! I made that recipe as some friend came home to eat. As always they are my guinea pigs, and try all the dessert I bake. But do not worry, they are doing well, and as far as I know they really liked it.
Orange Grape Cake
We're in October and unfortunately it is already autumn, almost winter. Leaves are getting yellow and the sun get out earlier. And the weather, what can I say ? It is colder, cloudy and rainy with some moments of sun, but well as I am in Hamburg maybe except the temperature I did not really noticed any difference with summer. But autumn means also new fruits such as grapes, grapefruit or oranges. So good!
Macarons Capuccino !
This weekend some friend of mine came home so I show them how to bake macarons. Because yes, even in Germany macarons are pretty successful. But here it is the same problem as everywhere else, "how to success baking the shell?". As you might know the key is he meringue, which is kind of a pretty tough pastry technic. So I showed them how to do that, an I must say it was pretty fun!
A Great Brownie !!
What is better than a brownie? Easy and efficient it is the kind of cake that makes everybody happy. Sometime you just need a simple cake to make your life more beautiful. But when I say simple it is because a brownie is so easy and so quick to bake. And it is so practical to take away.
My Version of the cheesecake
As I said in my previous article about the orange cheesecake macarons, the cheesecake is the cake that everybody love in Germany. In France unfortunately my family is not a real fan of unknown foreign specialties, even if it is delicious creamy and tasty… But as I am a bit obstinated, I always bake the cake I want when I am with my family. And here like always, it has been a success.
