Abstract: An eyewash eyepiece has an upper section with an eyepiece member fabricated of pliable, form fitting material and a lower section having a bottom floor with a plurality of holes. The eyepiece member is configured to be placed on and surround the outer boundaries of the user's eye. Once in place over the user's eye, the eyepiece member creates a watertight seal against the outer boundaries. The eyepiece then accepts water or other eye cleaning liquid from a water bottle or similar container which is threadably secured to the eyepiece. The liquid flows through the eyepiece, past the eyepiece member, and into the eye to wash out any foreign matter and cleanse the eye.

The equipment and method to produce the square edge recessed lug paver is also described, where the recessed lug roller forms the recessed lugs of the square edge recessed lug pavers. The recessed lug roller includes at least one recessed portion and at least two compressing portions. The recessed lugs are formed on an uncut slug after extrusion of the slug.

Abstract: We describe apparatuses, systems, method, reagents, and kits for conducting assays as well as process for their preparation. They are particularly well suited for conducting automated sampling, sample preparation, and analysis in a multi-well plate assay format. For example, they may be used for automated analysis of particulates in air and/or liquid samples derived therefrom in environmental monitoring.

Abstract: Herein is reported a multispecific antibody comprising two circular fusion polypeptides each of them comprising a VH/VL-pair and thereby a first and a second binding site, whereby a third VH/VL-pair and thereby a third binding site is formed by the associated of the two circular fusion polypeptides.

Abstract: A method to make primary alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, and other value-added chemicals from plastic waste. The method includes the steps of pyrolyzing plastic waste to yield pyrolysis oil; hydroformylating the pyrolysis oil in the absence of any added co-reactants to yield a mixture comprising aldehydes; and hydrogenating, oxidizing, aminating, or aldolizing the mixture to yield a product comprising primary alcohols, carboxylic acids, amines, or larger (>C10) chemicals with carbonyl function groups.

Abstract: A glass-ceramic article comprises a petalite crystalline phase and a lithium silicate crystalline phase. The weight percentage of each of the petalite crystalline phase and the lithium silicate crystalline phase in the glass-ceramic article are greater than each of the weight percentages of other crystalline phases present in the glass-ceramic article. The glass-ceramic article has a transmittance color coordinate in the CIELAB color space of: L*=from 20 to 90; a*=from ?20 to 40; and b*=from ?60 to 60 for a CIE illuminant F02 under SCI UVC conditions. In some embodiments, the colorant is selected from the group consisting of TiO2, Fe2O3, NiO, CO3O4, MnO2, Cr2O3, CuO, Au, Ag, and V2O5.

Abstract: Examples include techniques associated with data movement to a cache in a disaggregated die system. Examples include circuitry at a first die receiving and granting requests to move data to a first cache resident on the first die or to a second cache resident on a second die that also includes a core of a processor. The granting of the request based, at least in part, on a traffic source type associated with a source of the request.

Abstract: A pretreated silica material includes silica particles, an organosilane coupling agent bonded to the silica particles, and polyethylene glycol contacting the silica particles. The pretreated silica material may be used in a rubber composition which also includes one or more vulcanizable elastomers and a curing agent. A tire tread or other part of a tire may be formed from the rubber composition.

Abstract: A freewheel hub having a non-zero deadband distance in order to reduce or eliminate pedal kickback. The deadband distance is able to have or be adjusted to a desired length including lengths that enable silent freewheeling operation where the pawls of the freewheel body do not engage or contact the teeth of the ratchet gear thereby eliminating any contact-based freewheeling sound.

Abstract: A laser level receives information describing a series of install points. The laser level than projects one or more laser beams at the install point(s), such as a planar laser beam along the run and a targeting laser beam at the point selected by the user. After the user finishes work on a first install point, the user can instruct the laser level to project the targeting laser beam at the next point, such as the user sending the instruction wirelessly.

Abstract: The invention concerns compounds of formula (I) having antiviral activity, in particular, having an inhibitory activity on the replication of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The invention further concerns pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the compounds for use in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus infection.

Abstract: A method for forming a metal flow module includes forming a flux retention feature on a first major surface of a first metal plate and then applying flux to the first major surface. The flux retention feature is configured to retain the flux at least in part on the first surface. The method further includes positioning a second major surface of a second metal plate against the first major surface of the first metal plate. The second metal plate has one or more flow channels defined at least in part in the second major surface. The flux is positioned between first contacting portions of the first and second major surfaces. The method further includes heating the first and second metal plates in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to thermally bond the first contacting portions.
