Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for unifying graphical user interface (GUI) displays across different device types. In an embodiment, a unification system may convert various GUI view appearing on, for example, a desktop device into a GUI view on a mobile device. Both devices may be accessing the same application and/or may use a cloud computing platform to access the application. The unification system may aid in reproducing GUI modifications performed on one user device onto other user devices. In this manner, the unification system may maintain a consistent look-and-feel for a user across different computing device type.

Abstract: A pet waste collection device includes a container with first and second boxes joined with a hinge, and a handle that may be detachably attached to the collection container. The handle includes a finger portion that is slidable in an opening through a thumb portion of the handle. The handle is oriented such that the first and second boxes become extensions of the users thumb and fingers with action mimicking a grasping action while maintaining the users hand remote from any pet waste being collected. The handle may be reusable, and a plurality of collection containers may be included as part of a kit.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for transporting laboratory animals comprises a container (12), a cover piece (14), and a closure piece (16). The container (12) has an open top. The cover piece (14) is connectable with the container (12) for closing the open top of the container (12). The cover piece (14) has a passage (188) through which the at least one laboratory animal passes during insertion into and extraction from a cavity (28). The closure piece (16) includes a portion (234) that is rotatable relative to the cover piece (14) between a first position in which the portion (234) of the closure piece (16) closes the passage (188) in the cover piece (14) and a second position in which the passage (188) in the cover piece (14) is open to permit the insertion and extraction of the at least one laboratory animal through the passage (188).

Abstract: A toothbrush holder comprising a polymer resin base and at least one pair of tapered receiving leads. The receiving leads are angled slightly upward in relation to the base, the toothbrush holder having an adhesive attachment strip on a backside thereof.

Abstract: A toothbrush holder that can hold many different styles of toothbrushes in a sanitary manner. A toothbrush holder consisting of at least one (11) V-shaped aperture comprised of (9) leads that flex to hold a toothbrush securely at the neck portion of the toothbrush. The conical shaped (9) receiving-leads angle upward slightly and have a (8) flat inner contact surface that engages with the neck portion of the toothbrush. The design is such that the toothbrush can be easily retrieved and reapplied back to the holder by contact with the handle portion of the toothbrush solely. The contoured design and high polished surface finish enables easy cleaning as well as a deterrent to bacteria. The design of the invention is such that it can be mounted to any vertical surface that accommodates the length of a toothbrush. The ability to depress the toothbrush into the aperture of the invention holds it secure from dislodgment due to vibration or accidental contact.

Abstract: A method of brazing a Ti-15 Mo-3 Nb-3 Al-0.2 Si base material includes the steps of coating a braze material onto a base material. The braze material comprises substantially only a Ti--Cu--Ni--Zr mixture, with the mixture comprising about 40 wt % Ti. In particular, the braze material may comprise 40Ti-20 Cu-20 Ni-20 Zr. A following step includes heating the braze material and then forming a braze joint between the braze and base materials. The heating step can occur from about 760 to 932.degree. C. and over 15 to 90 minutes.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a nebulizer for use in an atomic absorption system which includes a capillary assembly having a capillary holder having an internal axial passage therethrough, a sapphire capillary tip mounted on one end of the capillary holder and the other end of the holder being connected to a sample liquid source through a capillary gland nut assembly. A venturi member is provided which has an inlet portion, a throat portion and an exiting bell shaped portion. A body assembly has one end connected to the venturi member. The capillary assembly is mounted on the body assembly for axial movement so that the capillary holder partially enters the venturi inlet portion and the capillary tip enters the venturi throat. Compressed oxidant is supplied to the venturi member in the vicinity of the capillary tip so as to suck sample liquid from the capillary tip to form a mixture of fine liquid mist and gas which is discharged through the exiting bell shaped portion.
