Abstract: An example water circulation device is configured for mounting within a livestock watering reservoir, and generally includes a mount, a housing, and a nozzle. The mount is configured to facilitate mounting of the water circulation device within the livestock watering reservoir. The housing is coupled to the mount, extends along a longitudinal axis, and includes helical channels and apertures distributed amongst the helical channels. The nozzle is mounted in the housing and configured to discharge water at an oblique angle relative to the longitudinal axis to thereby cause circulation of water within the housing. Moreover, the housing is configured to discharge circulating water via the plurality of apertures in a manner that generates eddy currents in an area of the livestock watering reservoir that is positioned outside of the housing.

Abstract: A children's ride-on toy with an inflatable body portion that is inflated by an integrated air blower unit. The inflatable body portion can be releasably attached to the ride-on toy, such that it is interchangeable and allows children to customize their ride-on with a character or animal of their choice.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel liquid crystal assembly for use in multispectral imaging systems. In particular, the liquid crystal assembly includes an engineered polarizer and a liquid crystal. In various aspects, the liquid crystal assembly takes advantages of short-comings found in conventional polarizers and liquid crystals requiring complex temperature regulation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are imaging systems and methods for simultaneous near-infrared light or infrared and visible light imaging of a sample comprising: a detector to form a fluorescence image of the sample and a visible image of the sample; a light source configured to emit near infrared or infrared light to induce fluorescence from the sample; and a plurality of optics arranged to direct the near infrared or infrared light toward the sample and form the fluorescence image of the sample and the visible light image of the sample on the detector, including methods to reduce ghosting, shadowing and motion artifacts.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of vascular and structural imaging using imaging systems and methods described, the methods comprising producing an image of the vasculature or structure by imaging fluorescence using an imaging system, the system comprising: i) one or more detectors configured to form a fluorescence image of the sample and form a visible image of the sample; ii) a light source configured to emit an excitation light to induce fluorescence from the sample; and iii) a plurality of optics arranged to: direct the excitation light toward the sample; and direct a fluorescent light and a visible light from the sample to the detector; wherein the excitation light and the fluorescence light are directed substantially coaxially.

Abstract: An adhesive dispenser is disclosed. The adhesive dispenser includes a cartridge, a dispensing roll, a plunger assembly, and a handle. The cartridge defines a cavity. The dispensing roll is positioned within the cavity and adapted to dispense an adhesive tape. The plunger assembly is positioned within the cavity and is adapted to move relative to the cartridge. The handle is adapted to receive the cartridge therein and is adapted to move the plunger assembly relative to the cartridge such that the plunger assembly applies a section of the adhesive tape to a surface adjoining a bottom portion of the cartridge.
