Abstract: A pH-switchable carrier composition includes a plurality of bioactive glass particles, wherein each of the bioactive glass particle is optionally at least a partially coated with a surface modifier; wherein the bioactive glass particles, with or without, the surface modifier can bind to a nucleic acid compound upon contact at pH in the range of about 7 to about 11, and exhibit controlled release of the nucleic acid compound at pH in the range of about 5 to 6.

Abstract: A cabinet and a slide rail kit thereof are disclosed. The cabinet includes an equipment body and a slide rail mechanism. The equipment body includes a first wall and a second wall. One of the first wall and the second wall is provided with a guiding path. The guiding path includes a blocking feature. The slide rail mechanism includes a supporting rail and a stop. The stop can be moved with respect to the supporting rail. When at a particular position, the stop can be blocked by the blocking feature of the guiding path to prevent the supporting rail from being displaced with respect to the equipment body from a predetermined position in a certain direction.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods for nucleic acid purification, comprising (a) combining a sample comprising at least one nucleic acid with a binding buffer comprising at least one magnetic particle and having a pH ranging from about 4 to about 10 to form a solution; (b) incubating the sample with the binding buffer for a time period sufficient to reversibly bind the at least one nucleic acid to the at least one magnetic particle to form at least one modified magnetic particle, (c) separating the at least one modified magnetic particle from the solution, (d) washing the at least one modified magnetic particle with at least one wash buffer; and (e) combining the at least one modified magnetic particle with an elution buffer Kits comprising these buffers and magnetic particles are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A furniture hinge includes an arm member, a casing, an inner link, an outer link, and a resilient device. The casing can be opened and closed with respect to the arm member. The inner link is pivotally connected to the arm member via a first shaft and is pivotally connected to the casing via a second shaft. The outer link is pivotally connected to the arm member via a third shaft and is pivotally connected to the casing via a fourth shaft. The resilient device provides a resilient force acting between the casing and the arm member and is not in contact with the periphery of any of the first shaft, the second shaft, the third shaft, and the fourth shaft.

Abstract: A substrate structure includes an insulating material layer, a build-up circuit layer, a patterned conductive layer, and at least one damming protrusion. The insulating material layer has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The build-up circuit layer is disposed on the second surface. The patterned conductive layer is embedded in the insulating material layer and exposed on the first surface of the insulating material layer, and is electrically connected to the build-up circuit layer. The damming protrusion is disposed on the first surface of the insulating material layer and integrally formed with the insulating material layer. A manufacturing method of the above substrate structure is also provided.
