Abstract: A push switch, having a conductive member which includes three integrally formed components: a conductive element, a U-shaped clip, and a conductive cantilever element. An overheating destructive element is provided on the conductive cantilever element, and the overheating destructive element can be destroyed at a destructive temperature, in which the destructive temperature is between 100° C. to 250° C. The push switch has a contact element in contact with the overheating destructive element so as to control the conductive cantilever element to be electrically connected or disconnected. When the conductive cantilever element is electrically connected, and if the overheating destructive element is overheated and destroyed, the conductive cantilever element is driven to become electrically disconnected, thereby achieving protection against overheating. The integral formation and manufacturing of the conductive member has the advantages of being structurally simple and easy to assemble.

Abstract: A pillow template system having at least one pillow template which is preferably made of a transparent or semi-transparent material which can be overlaid onto a piece of fabric and can quickly and easily be aligned on the fabric such that any patterns on the fabric are aligned in a desirable way. The template is a frame having an inner edge and an outer edge, with the width of the frame between the inner and outer edges providing a preferable seam allowance. In a preferred embodiment the frame can be nested into a stack with one or more additional frames. The size and shape of the pillow can vary based upon a selected one of the nested frames.

Abstract: An overheating destructive switch, comprising: a first conductive element, a second conductive element, a movable conductive element, an overheating destructive element, an operating component, and a second elastic element. The movable conductive element connects the first conductive element and the second conductive element. A first elastic element and the second elastic element act on an operating element. The first elastic element is compressed and has a first elastic force, and the second elastic element has a second elastic force. The first elastic force is greater than the second elastic force under in a normal state. When the overheating destructive element is destroyed due to overheating, the first elastic force is reduced or lost, such that the second elastic force becomes greater than the first elastic force. The movable conductive element is consequently disconnected from the first conductive element and the second conductive element, thus achieving protection against overheating.

The invention also relates to improved methods, agents and compositions for cryopreservation of cells.

Abstract: An overheating destructive disconnecting method for switch, which enables a first elastic force to concurrently apply force to an overheating destructive member and a movable conductive member. Moreover, the force direction causes the movable conductive member to concurrently contact a first conductive member and a second conductive member to form a conductive circuit. A second elastic force acts on the movable conductive member, and the force direction thereof causes the movable conductive member to separate away from the first conductive member or the second conductive member, The overheating destructive member is positioned in a required non-electric transmission path and at a distance from the movable conductive member.

Abstract: A self-contained system is provided for cleaning a food flow path in a food processor. The system can be operably engaged without requiring disassembly and reassembly of the food processor or can be operably engaged after a partial disassembly of the food processor. The system includes a control assembly for directing passage of a solution through the food processor without requiring constant operator oversight. The system can employ available positive pressure water supply, such as public utility water pressure to selectively and automatically push solutions, including rinses, backwards or forwards through a food flow path in the food processor, though typically countercurrent to the normal processing food flow. A manifold assembly includes an intake manifold and a distribution manifold, with an induction port and/or access port in the distribution manifold for introducing additives or agents into a controlled motive stream passing through the manifold assembly.

Abstract: The invention is the products and methods associated with purifying overexpressed recombinant recombinases from a host cell line resulting in an un-tagged protein of interest without any additional, non-native amino acids. The invention employs at least one DNA vector that co-expresses a tagged fusion protein and the recombinase protein with the recombinase protein having an affinity for binding to the the tagged fusion protein. Isolation methods of the recombinase protein include the targeting of the tagged fusion protein.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a vapor cell is presented that includes a dielectric body. The dielectric body includes a surface that defines an opening to a cavity in the dielectric body and a plurality of holes between the cavity and a side of the dielectric body. The vapor cell also includes a vapor or a source of the vapor in the cavity of the dielectric body. An optical window covers the opening of the cavity and has a surface bonded to the surface of the dielectric body to form a seal around the opening. Methods of manufacturing vapor cells are also presented.

Abstract: A feedwell comprising a plurality of holes disposed in a bottom thereof, at least some of the holes having a tube disposed thereabout which extends downward or otherwise away from an interior of the feedwell. Optionally, a large center hole can be provided and it can have a tube disposed around it. By providing a plurality of holes spread across a large portion of the bottom of the feedwell, lower velocity flow rates from the feedwell to a sedimentation chamber can be provided, thus reducing induced turbulence in the fluid within the sedimentation chamber, while still providing sufficient separation of the feedwell from the sedimentation chamber so that the contents of the feedwell can be properly and adequately mixed.
