  • Method for measuring acute stress in a mammal
    Patent number: 7249603
    Abstract: A method is provided to quantify and/or qualify psychological and physiological components of stress in mammals, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. The method involves the steps of measuring one or more physiological and/or psychological characteristics before and after the administration of a stimulus to a test subject. The stimulus may consist of any product, task, aroma or the like that elicits a stress-related response upon administration. By analyzing the resulting measurements, and optionally comparing physiological and psychological characteristics where both are measured, an overall level of stress may be determined. The method of stress measurement may further be used in product development and/or testing.

  • Method for cleaning a porous printing surface by extruding liquid through surface
    Patent number: 7249559
    Abstract: Method and apparatus in which a first liquid is extruded through a porous plate to a first surface, a second liquid is externally applied over the first liquid on the first surface. The second liquid is subsequently removed from the first surface. In some embodiments, the first liquid is a release agent, the second liquid is a printing agent, and a sheet material is contacted with the printing agent on the printing surface, whereby the release agent prevents the adhesion of the printing agent and the sheet material to the printing surface and thereby allows the sheet material to be easily separated from the printing surface. In some embodiments, the printing agent is an adhesive and the release agent prevents the adhesive from strongly adhering to or accumulating on the printing surface.
