Abstract: A pacifier assembly device comprising two pacifier components. The pacifier components are assembled together using a connection component. When assembled together, opposing nipple-like protrusions of each pacifier component assists an infant with successfully positioning one of the protrusions into its mouth. When disassembled, the pacifier components may each be used individually or thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of increased culture pH, relative to standard insect cell culture conditions, during baculovirus infection of lepidopteran insect cells to enable production of recombinant chikungunya (CHIKV) virus like particles (VLPs). The invention further relates to adapted insect cell lines derived from insect cells such as Sf21, which can grow robustly at elevated culture pH, the use of said cell lines to recombinantly produce pH sensitive proteins in the correct conformation and increase expression of recombinant proteins relative to standard insect cell lines. In some embodiments of the invention, the cells are useful for recombinant production of CHIKV VLPs. The invention also relates to a method for the production of a pH-adapted lepidopteran insect cell line. In some embodiments of said method, the cell line is produced and/or maintained in reduced phosphate serum-free insect cell media.

Abstract: The wrist cover/support for bracelets/watches is made of elastic fabric or comparable material. Once sewn or glued, this composition allows the invention to be placed over worn jewelry on wrist. Use of the wrist cover results in preventing jewelry loss, reduces likelihood of its damage, and also likely prevents jewelry from snagging, scratching or otherwise damaging items.
