Abstract: A knitted athletic performance garment includes a seamless panel to cover a portion of a wearer's body, a first performance zone and a second performance zone formed in the seamless panel, wherein the first performance zone is formed of a first warp knit stitch construction and has a first modulus, wherein the second performance zone is formed of a second warp knit stitch construction and has a second modulus, wherein the first warp knit stitch construction is different from the second warp knit stitch construction, wherein the first modulus is different from the second modulus, and wherein the difference in modulus between the first performance zone and the second performance zone is due to the difference in stitch construction between the first performance zone and the second performance zone.

Abstract: This invention relates to the application of hydroxyapatite chromatography to the purification of at least one antibody from a preparation containing high molecular weight aggregates. Further, this invention relates to an integration of ceramic hydroxyapatite chromatography into a combination chromatographic protocol for the removal of high molecular weight aggregates from an antibody preparation.

Abstract: A padded garment having at least one pocket with at least one pad located within the at least one pocket. The at least one pad has a plurality of interconnected, spaced apart tubes. A first end of each of the spaced apart tubes are interconnected along a first pathway and a second end of each of the spaced apart tubes are interconnected along a second pathway. The first and second pathways are recessed from a top plane and a bottom plane of the pad in areas between adjacent tubes such that the pad is flexible along the recessed areas of the first and second pathways and substantially less flexible along a length of the spaced apart tubes. The pad is shaped to correspond to an area of a wearer's body it is intended to cover.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for isolating a product and/or reducing turbidity and/or impurities from a load fluid comprising the product and one or more impurities by passing the load fluid through a medium, followed by at least one wash solution comprising an arginine derivative, and collecting the product using an elution solution. The invention further relates to a product prepared using a method as described herein.

Abstract: A padded garment having at least one pocket with at least one pad located within the at least one pocket. The at least one pad has a plurality of interconnected, spaced apart tubes. The interconnected tubes form a cavity which is filled with air that can flow between the plurality of spaced apart tubes. A first end of each of the spaced apart tubes are interconnected along a first pathway and a second end of each of the spaced apart tubes are interconnected along a second pathway. The first and second pathways are recessed from a top plane and a bottom plane of the pad in areas between adjacent tubes such that the pad is flexible along the recessed areas of the first and second pathways and substantially less flexible along a length of the spaced apart tubes. The pad is shaped to correspond to an area of a wearer's body it is intended to cover.

Abstract: The invention consists of the composition of reversible thermochromic and photochromic leuco dyes wherein the thermochromic and photochromic material is in the form of microencapsulated powder, or aqueous slurry and combined with non-solvent, aqueous based automotive paint for use in painting, coating, or covering the exterior surfaces of motor vehicles, more specifically automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, boats, airplanes, snowmobiles, bicycles, and any other propelled land, sea, or air vehicle, the process of applying these paints/coatings, and the methods of their use. The term “reversible leuco dye” refers to leuco dyes which have the property of going from a color state to a clear state when a stimulus is applied, and returning to the colored state when the stimulus is removed. The stimulus in this case would be exposure to heat for the thermochromic leuco dyes, or light for the photochromic ones.

Abstract: The present invention provides an auxiliary heater for use in a capillary electrophoresis device. The auxiliary heater includes a heating element and a thermally non-conductive housing. The auxiliary heater is disposed around the capillary array of the electrophoresis device along a portion of its length. The auxiliary heater is maintained at a temperature above that of the heating chamber of the electrophoresis device. The auxiliary heater allows increased read lengths and shorter run times than existing capillary electrophoresis devices.
