Abstract: A sample grinder includes a base having a bowl and a rotatable drive plate to operably support a grinding wheel. A head is configured to support a specimen holder and has a first drive for rotational drive of the specimen holder and a second drive for moving the head and specimen holder toward and away from the drive plate. The head has a sleeve that is larger than the specimen holder. A cover is disposed over the bowl and has an opening larger than the sleeve so that the sleeve fits through the opening when the specimen holder is moved toward the rotatable drive plate. The grinding wheel is mountable to the plate in a single radial orientation only. A dressing system is operably connected to a controller to monitor the current of the drive plate motor and/or the head first drive actuates the dressing system based upon the current drawn by the drive plate motor and/or the head first drive motor falling below a predetermined value.

Abstract: Compounds having formula (I), and enantiomers, and diastereomers, stereoisomers, pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof, are useful as kinase modulators, including RIPK1 modulation. All the variables are as defined herein.

Abstract: An improved medical pad for contact thermal exchange with a patient includes a fluid circulation layer for containing a thermal exchange fluid circulatable therethrough, a first port and a second port for circulating the thermal exchange fluid in to and out of the fluid circulation layer, and a hydrogel layer interconnected to and extending across one side of the fluid circulation layer to define an adhesive surface for adherence to a patient's skin. The hydrogel layer can include an ultraviolet light-cured composition with a cross-linking copolymer, water, and glycerol. The hydrogel layer is provided to have a thermal conductivity of at least about 1.9 ca/hr-cm-° C.

Abstract: A jet nebulizer capable of producing a small particle mist for injection into any existing whole room/house/building air distribution system. The device pumps liquid scent from a bulk container through a supply line. The unit is turned on, a flow switch is closed, power is applied to a timer and a solenoid, opening the solenoid and starting the timer. Pressure in the supply line drops and closes the pressure switch which turns the pump on, forcing the liquid scent through a nebulizer nozzle into the air handling system. The pump runs according to the timer, and will continue to run until the timer shuts the solenoid valve. Once the timer shuts the solenoid off pressure builds in the supply line. The pressure opens the water pressure switch which turns the pump off.

Abstract: An improved downspout diverter to diffuse water flowing out of a downspout in order to avoid erosion. The improved downspout diverter employs a highly effective progression of diffuser elements, and also provides a more aesthetic appearance, improved manufacturability, a stronger molded design, and eliminates the problem of debris clogging the diverter.
