Abstract: A device configured to mechanically remove a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue includes a first pressing element and a second pressing element. Furthermore, a method for preparing a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, comprises mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue. In addition, there is provided a preparation including a fat-depleted adipose tissue, wherein the fat-depleted adipose tissue is prepared by mechanically removing a fat phase from at least one adipose tissue.

Abstract: A sealing set may be used for sealing and draining a liquid and may comprise a check valve and a mating press unit. When the check valve and the mating press unit may be separated, the check valve may be sealed and may prevent flow of liquid or gas from the first end to the second opening, and when the mating press may be pressed against the check valve so that the third end is inserted into the second end, a flow of liquid or gas may be opened between the two ends. The check valve may comprise a hollow elongated cylinder; a sealing gasket; and a mass and a pressing means configured to press the mass against the sealing gasket for sealing an end. The press unit may comprise a second hollow elongated cylinder and may include one or more holes on the third end perimeter.

Abstract: A vibrating pulse monitored alarm bracelet consists of control panel/display/capacitive touchscreen, a flash memory to collect and communicate data, two rechargeable batteries which serve as the power source for the device, sensors to collect pulse rate data, vibrating pads to provide silent, electric pulse stimuli, and a neoprene band to secure the device to its wearer.

Abstract: A self sanitizing bottle filler supplying filtered water. The bottle filler utilizes UV light to create ozone in a sealed dispensing chamber after each use. The UV light and ozone sanitize the interior surfaces of the dispensing mechanism and water delivery components. The bottle filler encloses the outlet spout after each use to prevent airborne contamination. The water stream may be illuminated helping users to position a container, preventing spills and splash back.

Abstract: A combined filter cartridge and manifold for use in a water purification system or the like, to facilitate substantially drip-free filter cartridge removal and replacement. The filter cartridge includes water inlet and outlet ports for respective connection with inlet and outlet fittings on the manifold. A pivoting manifold cap normally overlies and retains the filter cartridge in connected relation with the manifold fittings and a water supply coupled to the manifold. Pivoting movement of the manifold cap toward an open position shuts off the water supply and then permits filter cartridge separation from the manifold, with check valves at the manifold inlet/outlet fittings and cartridge inlet/outlet ports preventing significant water leakage.

Abstract: A combined feed tube mounting adapter and sanitizer unit for use in a bottled water cooler having a cooler reservoir for receiving water from a bottle mounted in an inverted orientation for water downflow from the bottle to the reservoir. The combined unit includes an adapter body removably mounted over the cooler reservoir, with an upstanding feed tube or probe for operatively engaging a valved bottle cap on the neck of the inverted water-containing bottle. An air filter is mounted on the adapter body along an air inflow path to filter ambient air drawn into the reservoir. The combined unit further includes a flow line for introducing ozone gas into the reservoir-contained water. In a preferred form, this flow line is coupled with a gas generator which is operated by a controller mounted in a user-accessible position on the adapter body.

Abstract: A proximity detector comprising, at least one transmitter unit to transmit radiation toward a zone of interest and at least one receiver unit to receive radiation originating from the transmitter and that is reflected back from an obstacle at the zone of interest. A light-transmitter associated with each transmitter unit and a receiver light-transmitter associated with each receiver unit, a control module for controlling, processing a signal received from the receiver unit, to produce a signal responsive to the proximity of the obstacle. The light-transmitters are light-guides made of a rigid and at least translucent material.

Abstract: A system for warning of the proximity of an obstacle within a zone of interest adjacent to a vehicle includes at least one primary sensor configured to produce a primary output indicative of a quantity of electromagnetic radiation incident on the primary sensor from the zone of interest. Also provided is a device for generating a compensation output indicating a quantity of background electromagnetic radiation incident on the primary sensor. A number of transmitters transmit an electromagnetic signal towards the zone of interest. A compensation module responds to the compensation output to vary a transmission power of the electromagnetic signal. A processing module associated with at least the primary sensor generates a warning signal in response to the primary output.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing improved granulated fatty alcohol sulfates. The process includes slowly drying and mechanically mixing the fatty alcohol sulfate.

Abstract: A granulated fatty alcohol sulphate is characterized by a bulk density greater than 600 g/lit when no consolidation stress is imparted, it has a particle size-distribution such that at least 15% of the particles are larger than 1000 .mu.m, and less than 10% of the particles are smaller than 250 .mu.m, and has a bulk density which is dependent on the consolidation stress in the range 200 kg/cm.sup.2 to at least 750 kg/cm.sup.2.
