  • Patent number: 8246919
    Abstract: A rack for a plurality of capped tubes, including a frame having a longitudinally extending bottom base member having a row of spaced open top recesses adapted to receive the capped tubes. Vertical supports at the ends of the row of recesses fix a cover member above the base member. The cover member has openings therethrough smaller than the capped tubes. A wall is along one longitudinal side between the base member and the cover member, with the other longitudinal side between the base member and the cover member being open. Support fingers extend horizontally from the wall toward the open longitudinal side and are vertically aligned between the recesses to secure capped tubes in a generally vertical direction in a longitudinally extending vertical plane. The base member and cover member are vertically spaced a distance sufficient to permit tipped capped tubes to be moved into the frame with the tipped tubes then dropped into the recesses and tipped back to an upright vertical position.

  • Publication number: 20120167289
    Abstract: An apparatus for protective body armor to protect the head, neck, and spine from impaction, lateral extension, hyperflexion, hyperextension, while allowing for normal physiologic movement and range of head and neck motion is disclosed. In at least one embodiment a protective body armor includes: a shell adapted to couple to at least one upper body plate, to cover the head and neck, to allow normal physiologic movement and range of the head and the neck within the shell, and to prevent movement beyond the normal movement and range, wherein the shell does not move relative to the at least one upper body plate once rigidly coupled and the farthest distance the head can move upon an impact to the user is within a boundary of the shell; and a skull pad for wear by the user directly upon the head within the shell and for coverage of the skull area.

  • Publication number: 20120071521
    Abstract: A concentrated quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) solution comprising a QAC with a concentration greater than about 10% by weight and at least one solubility enhancing agent, such as an alcohol, is disclosed. A diluted QAC solution is useful on food products to prevent microbial growth on the food from a broad spectrum of foodborne microbial contamination. Also disclosed is a method of contacting food products with the dilute QAC for an application time of at least 0.1 second. Foods that can be treated by this method are meat and meat products, seafood, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, pet foods and snacks, and any other food that can be 10 treated and still retain its appearance and texture. One of the treatment methods is spraying and misting the QAC solutions on the food products for an application time of at least 0.1 second to prevent broad spectrum foodborne microbial contamination.

  • Publication number: 20100312273
    Abstract: The technology described herein provides an apparatus and associated methods for the rapid percutaneous occlusion of a vascular access site. In one exemplary embodiment, a combined vascular and closure sheath is provided. This device includes a vascular sheath having a vascular sheath lumen, a proximal end and a distal end, and an exterior surface. The combined vascular and closure sheath includes a closure sheath, being lesser in length and greater in diameter than the vascular sheath and having a proximal end and a distal end, disposed circumferentially around the exterior surface of the vascular sheath at the proximal end of the vascular sheath, thereby forming a closure sheath lumen between the exterior surface of the vascular sheath and an interior surface of the closure sheath, the closure sheath being configured operably to eject a fluid such as a coagulant, a tissue sealant, and the coagulation protein thrombin.

  • Patent number: 7732772
    Abstract: A system for detecting explosive materials includes at least one deuterium/tritium neutron generator module, at least one germanium detector module, and an analysis module. The deuterium/tritium neutron generator module bombards an object with neutrons. The germanium detector module detects gamma rays emitted by the object in response to the neutrons. The analysis module analyzes the gamma rays detected by the germanium detector module for the presence of explosive materials on or within the object.

  • Patent number: 7723208
    Abstract: Trenches may be formed in the upper surfaces of a pair of wafers. Each trench may be coated with a catalyst that is capable of removing oxygen or hydrogen from a fluid used for cooling in a system making use of the electroosmotic effect for pumping. Channels may be formed to communicate fluid to and from the trench coated with the catalyst. The substrates may be combined in face-to-face abutment, for example using copper-to-copper bonding to form a re-combiner.

  • Patent number: 7615462
    Abstract: A method of forming a silicon (Si) via in vertically stacked wafers is provided with a contact plug extending from selected metallic lines of a top wafer and an etch stop layer formed prior to the contact plug. Such a method comprises selectively etching through the silicon (Si) of the top wafer until stopped by the etch stop layer to form the Si via; depositing an oxide layer to insulate a sidewall of the Si via; forming a barrier layer on the oxide layer and on the bottom of the Si via; and depositing a conduction metal into the Si via to provide electrical connection between active IC devices located on vertically stacked wafers and an external interconnect.
