Abstract: An example method includes generating a signal correlated with blood perfusion or SpO2 of a subject at a location and orientation on a body of the subject; determining a signal quality and/or signal strength of the signal; and in dependence on the signal quality and/or signal strength, either indicating that at least one of the location or the orientation is acceptable for placement of a biosensor on the body of the subject or prompting the subject or other person to reposition the biosensor. The biosensor may be part of a chest sensor device that includes: an adhesive with a liner having pull tabs for easy removal when the chest sensor device is positioned at a desired location; a finger grip to facilitate removal of the chest sensor device from the subject after a period of use; and/or wraparound fingers to secure the chest sensor device to the adhesive.

Abstract: A composition and method for preventing and treating infections caused by enveloped viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 virus. The invention includes compounds having a catalytic domain of a glycosidase and a binding domain that binds the compound to the surface of the targeted virus. The invention also includes a pharmaceutical formulation comprising the compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to deliver the active portion of the compound to the infecting virus within an infected human or animal. The pharmaceutical formulation can be an inhalant or a nasal spray to the infected human or animal. The invention also includes methods of using a glycosidase or the catalytic part of a glycosidase to deactivate enveloped virus by removing glycans from the viral surface protein.

Abstract: A pipe handling system for transporting pipe between a horizontal storage location and a rig floor, where the pipe handling system can include an adjustable length ramp assembly which can be adjusted by installing one or more extension sections between bottom and top sections The sections can include interfacing features that can align the sections with each other when they are attached together in the ramp assembly.

Abstract: This invention is for a method for making and using cat litter from conventional toilet paper and using the cat litter in a toilet bowl mounted cat litter box. The cat litter box has an opening and closing door activated by a handle for discharging soiled cat litter directly into the toilet bowl for disposal. The handle also blocks the toilet from closing when the cat litter box is attached to the toilet bowl.

Abstract: A pet food bowl has three bowls, a first bowl for holding drinking water, a second bowl for holding water and providing a moat, and third bowl to be placed in the second bowl for holding the pet food. The water from the drinking bowl passes through a conduit to the second bowl, maintaining the water level in the second bowl. The third bowl may be removable to allow for easy cleaning of the second and third bowls.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a method and apparatus for ex-situ cleaning of a chamber component. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a method and apparatus for endpoint detection during ex-situ cleaning of a chamber component used in a semiconductor processing chamber. In one embodiment, a system for cleaning parts disposed in a liner with a cleaning fluid is provided. The system comprises a portable cart, a liquid particle counter (LPC) carried by the portable cart, the LPC configured for detachable coupling to a fluid outlet port formed through the liner, the LPC operable to sample rinsate solution exiting the line, and a pump carried by the portable cart and configured for fluid coupling to the liner in a detachable manner, the pump operable to recirculate rinsate solution through the liner.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a method and apparatus for ex-situ cleaning of a chamber component part. In one embodiment, a system for cleaning component parts in a cleaning chemistry is provided. The system comprises a wet bench set-up comprising a cleaning vessel assembly for holding one or more component parts to be cleaned during a cleaning process and a detachable cleaning cart detachably coupled with the cleaning vessel assembly for supplying one or more cleaning chemistries to the cleaning vessel assembly during the cleaning process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the manufacture of one or more ethanolamines and one or more ethyleneamines starting from the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia to produce one or more ethanolamines and the conversion of the ethanolamine(s) to ethyleneamine(s). The present invention also relates to separating alkylethyleneamines from ethyleneamines.

Abstract: A laser strikes and aseptically heats or sterilizes the end of two flexible tube ends for connection. Tube holders are pushed toward each other to bring the tube ends into contact. A weld detector checks the characteristics of the weld. A laser optics assembly may be used to chance the direction of the lacer and focus the laser at the tube ends. In addition, a crimping device is used to compress a single flexible tube for disconnection. The laser strikes the compressed area. The crimping device continues to pinch the area and forms a seal in the tube. The tube is separated into two tube segments, each segment has a sealed end.
