Abstract: The invention provides a bowl. The bowl is provided with at least one grip ring, which grip ring is in the form of a first groove formed into the surface of the bowl and a second groove formed into the surface of the first groove, and a resiliently deformable or elastic band which fits into the second groove such the surface of the band is flush with or slightly proud of the surface of the first groove.

Abstract: A stormwater treatment device may include a crossflow settling device having a treatment channel defined by a front baffle, a rear baffle, and a pairs angled plates provided at supplementary angles therebetween and disposed between the front baffle and the rear baffle, the front baffle having a treatment channel opening and the rear baffle having a treatment channel outlet. Under normal flow, stormwater flows into the inlet and into the inlet chamber, into the treatment channel via the treatment channel opening, into the outlet chamber via the treatment channel outlet in a crossflow pattern causing the sediment to fall out of suspension, and out of the crossflow setting device through openings at the bottom of the pairs of angled plates.

Abstract: A stormwater treatment device may include a chamber having a floor and a wall; an inlet formed in the wall that receives stormwater into an inlet side of the chamber; an outlet formed in the wall that discharges stormwater from an outlet side of the chamber; an enhanced settling device positioned in the outlet side of the chamber; a flow diverter plate in a lower portion of the chamber; and an outlet control diverter positioned proximate to the outlet. Stormwater is received by the inlet in a first flow direction, flows from the inlet side to the lower portion of the chamber in a second flow direction, flows through the enhanced settling device to an upper portion of the chamber in a third flow direction, flows through the outlet control diverter in fourth flow direction, and is discharged by the outlet in a fifth flow direction.

Abstract: A bone graft composition comprising a viable, osteogenic cellular material combined with a viscous cryoprotectant that includes a penetrating cryoprotective agent and a non-penetrating cryoprotective agent. The viscosity of the cryoprotectant is such that the composition is malleable, cohesive and capable of being formed into desired shapes.

Abstract: Methods for controlling, maintaining, or reducing blood pressure, and/or for treating, preventing, or alleviating symptoms such as dyspnea, in a patient suffering from or susceptible to acute heart failure. The methods involve the administration of an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a short acting dihydropyridine compound such as clevidipine. The pharmaceutical composition may be administered at an initial dose, and if blood pressure is not controlled or maintained within a target blood pressure range or reduced to within a target blood pressure range, the initial dose may be titrated to achieve a blood pressure within the target blood pressure range. The patient may have a systolic blood pressure of about 120 mmHg or above.

Abstract: A system for removing sediment from water is disclosed. The exemplary embodiments described herein disclose a system with a chamber having a deck positioned inside to divide it into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The deck may have a plurality of holes to hold filtration elements and also may have a ridge or a skirt or both. The filtration elements may be filter cartridges with multiple elongated filter elements that extend down into the lower chamber.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for processing claims. In various embodiments, claims can be processed in accordance with a data-driven approach that limits changes to existing claims processing rules by using an inclusions table, an exclusions table, and/or a decision table as part of firing or executing claims processing rules to accommodate for such changes.
