Abstract: The motorized animal-grooming brush is adapted for use with animals. The motorized animal-grooming brush is a rotating brush that is driven by an electric drive that is separated in distance from the rotating brush. The motorized animal-grooming brush comprises a brush device, an electric drive, and a drive line. The electric drive provides a motive force through the drive line to the brush device. The brush device receives the motive force from the electric drive and uses this motive force to rotate the grooming brush. The separation by distance between the electric drive and the rotating brush reduces the level of noise heard by the animal.

Abstract: A solar assembly system is provided. The system includes: a building assembly having a window and a panel. The panel is configured operate in a closed or an open position at the interior of the building interior. Further, the panel may extend beyond the window such that an airtight seals forms between the panel and the window.

Abstract: The invention relates to low-foaming gas processing compositions comprising (a) a silicone antifoam component comprising a base silicone fluid and a particulate metal oxide; (b) an emulsifying component in an amount suitable for the at least substantial emulsification of the silicone antifoam component in water; (c) a polypropylene glycol component at least partially soluble, emulsifiable, and/or dispersible in water; (d) a water-soluble or water-dispersible gas processing agent; and (e) water. The invention also relates to methods for processing a gas by treating the gas with these foam suppressing compositions.

Abstract: There is provided herein a composition which comprises a silicone copolymer and/or terpolymer component containing a polyether moeity (a); and, a water-soluble and/or water dispersible gas-processing component (b); said composition being substantially free of metal oxide-filled non-polyether moiety-containing silicone fluid. There is also provided herein a method for processing a gas comprising treating the gas with said composition.

Abstract: A small, disposable, medical device is provided having a central housing, a proximal end portion, and a distal end portion, with the central housing having the proximal end portion at one end of the central housing, and the distal end portion at the other end. The proximal end portion and the distal end portion each have an aperture formed therein, with a channel extending the length of the device from one aperture to the other. The device's central housing tapers in width between the proximal end portion and the distal end portion, with the width at the distal end portion being less than the width at the proximal end portion. The proximal end portion preferably has a width that is greater than its height. Further, the aperture at the proximal end has an area that is greater than the aperture at the distal end.
