Abstract: Disclosed, amongst other things, is: (i) a mold-cooling device; (ii) a molding system having a mold-cooling device; (iii) a mold assembly having a mold-cooling device, (iv) a molded article, such as a preform, manufactured by a molding system having a mold-cooling device; and (v) a method of a mold-cooling device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a molded article handling device, an apparatus, and a system. The device, the apparatus and the system include a slide bar configured to have a mold portion configured to mold, in cooperation with complementary mold halves of a molding machine, a molded article. The slide bar is also configured to be actuatable by an actuator. The actuator is configured to move the slide bar towards selectable positions, and the selectable positions located between travel terminus points.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of forming a patterned phosphor structure having red, green and blue sub-pixel elements for an AC electroluminescent display. The method involves selecting first and second phosphors, each emitting light in different ranges of the visible spectrum, but whose combined emission spectra contains red, green and blue light; depositing and patterning the phosphors in a layer to form a plurality of repeating phosphor deposits; and providing means associated with the phosphor deposits, and which together with the phosphor deposits form the red, green and blue sub-pixel phosphor elements, for setting and equalizing the threshold voltages, and for setting the relative luminosities of the red, green and blue sub-pixel phosphor elements so that they bear set ratios to one another at each modulation voltage used to generate the desired luminosities for red, green and blue; and optionally annealing the patterned phosphor structure so formed.

Abstract: A patterned phosphor structure and EL laminate containing same, forming red, green and blue sub-pixel phosphor elements for an AC electroluminescent display. The patterned phosphor structure includes at least a first and a second phosphor emitting light in different ranges of the visible spectrum, but with combined emission spectra contains red, green and blue light, the first and second phosphors being in a layer, arranged in adjacent, repeating relationship to each other to provide a plurality of repeating first and second phosphor deposits.

Abstract: Sox gene expression correlates in general with specific stages during embryogenesis. It has been determined that the expression of Sox genes may be used, as directed herein, to induce or select pluripotent cells which are at least partially committed to a given developmental pathway. There is provided a method for isolating a pluripotent cell which is at least partially committed to a given developmental pathway, comprising the steps of: a) selecting a population of pluripotent cells; b) sorting the cells according to Sox gene expression; and c) isolating those cells which express a give Sox gene.
