Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions, including foamable compositions with improved properties, such as those comprising waxes, emollients, foam adjuvants and/or active agents, and methods for preparing and using them.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel topical formulations containing a tofacitinib and or a fingolimod that are useful for treating dermatological conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema.

Abstract: This disclosure provides an apparatus, system, and method for thermal spraying a metal cladding on a substrate. The apparatus may include a housing having a first electrode and a second electrode disposed in the housing. The second electrode can be spaced apart from the first electrode. The apparatus includes a first contact tip removably attached to the first electrode and a second contact tip removably attached to the second electrode. The position of the first contact tip and second contact tip is configured to be selectively adjusted on the first electrode and the second electrode to provide a plurality of contact surfaces for a feedstock wire. The apparatus includes a nozzle between the first contact tip and the second contact tip. The first contact tip and the second contact tip are configured to contact and deflect a wire towards the nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for manufacturing microarrays, wherein a microarray comprises a plurality of spots, for testing the interaction of biomolecules. Disclosed herein is a method for enhancing efficiency of overlay printing of spot positions on multiple slides or plates arranged in an array wherein a slide or plate order is provided by rows and columns.

Abstract: A shower-screen pivot device comprises a seating element mountable to a shower surface, and a screen-support element for supporting at least part of a shower screen. The seating element has a first panel-pivot element, and the screen-support element has a second panel-pivot element which is engagable with the first panel-pivot element. When interengaged, the first and second panel-pivot elements are rotatable relative to each other about a panel-pivot axis P which is parallel to a base of the seating element. This enables an installer to semi-erect a shower-screen panel with a lower edge watertightly sealed, and leave it unattended and self-supported whilst attending to other panels.

Abstract: In some examples, a method for generating an interactive three-dimensional quantitative thermal heat flow mapping of an environment comprises generating a three-dimensional representation of the environment, the representation comprising multiple surfaces defining respective boundaries of the environment, generating a thermal image representing a surface temperature at multiple points on respective ones of the surfaces of the environment within the three-dimensional representation, determining a measure for an ambient temperature within the environment, determining respective measures for incident radiant temperature of the surfaces, determining respective measures for the emissivity of the surfaces, providing a measure of temperature outside of a surface, calculating, at each of the multiple points, a value for the instantaneous heat flow per unit area using the measures for surface temperature, ambient temperature within the environment and incident radiant temperature of the surfaces, and using the values

Abstract: A shower floor former assembly is provided which comprises a shower floor former having a non-circular waste-plate receiver and a drain waste plate which is dimensioned to be receivable in the waste-plate receiver. A centre point of the waste-plate receiver is offset from a centre point of the shower floor former, and the drain waste plate has a drainage aperture therethrough, a centre point of the drainage aperture being offset from a centre point of the drain waste plate. The drain waste plate is receivable in the waste-plate receiver in a first condition in which the centre point of the drainage aperture is offset relative to the centre point of the shower floor former. The drain waste plate is also receivable in the waste-plate receiver in a second condition in which the centre point of the drainage aperture is coincident with the centre point of the shower floor former.

Abstract: The invention relates to the application of a coating to a substrate in which the coating includes a polymer material and the coating is selectively fluorinated and/or cured to improve the liquid repellance of the same. The invention also provides for the selective fluorination and/or curing of selected areas of the coating thus, when completed, providing a coating which has regions of improved liquid repellance with respect to the remaining regions and which remaining regions may be utilized as liquid collection areas.

Abstract: Apparatus for separating ash particles from a flue gas. The apparatus includes a screen that has a plurality of semi-elliptical cylinder surfaces. The semi-elliptical cylinder surfaces having holes through which said flue gas flows and through which the ash particles will not pass. The screen has a single layer for performing the separation in a manner such that the ash particles fall away from the screen and collect outside of the screen. A method of reducing velocity of a flue gas passing through screening apparatus for separating flue gas from ash particles. The method includes replacing a first screen of the screening apparatus with a second screen that has a plurality of semi-elliptical cylinder surfaces.
