Abstract: A histology processing is provided for processing of large samples which do not fit in standard size histology cassettes and which may be labelled using conventional laboratory printing apparatus. The cassette has a box structure with an apertured base and open top face and the internal length to the internal width of the structure is of a ratio from 1.0 to 1.6 and able to receive sample identification information from an automated cassette printing apparatus and a closure for the open upper face of the structure, engageable with the structure to provide a sample enclosure in which the ratio of the width of the sample enclosure to its depth is less than 5:1 and the ratio of the length of the sample enclosure to its depth is less than 6:1.

Abstract: A wand with variable flow and a flow lock is provided. The wand comprises a shell, a waterway, a flow module, a flow actuator module, and a flow lock module. The waterway includes a first flow passage and a second flow passage. The flow module is operable to be disposed between the first flow passage and the second flow passage. The flow module includes a flow control mechanism that is operable to move between a first position and a second position. The flow actuator module includes a flow actuation mechanism that is operable to move between a first position and a second position. The flow lock module includes a lock mechanism that is operable to move between a first position and a second position. When the lock mechanism is in the first position, the flow control mechanism is operable to move between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A toe sleeve that is configured to allow communication between an inner diameter of the tool and an annulus outside of the tool during a bleed off cycle, which occurs after testing the casing. To test the casing, pressure within the inner diameter of the tool may be increased, and during a bleed off cycle the pressure within the inner diameter of the tool may be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to herbicidally active pyridino-/pyrimidino-thiazole derivatives, as well as to processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

Abstract: A tool comprising a movable sleeve with an inner diameter, an outer diameter, and a screen. The screen being configured to filter materials flowing into a first port within the moveable sleeve, wherein the outer diameter of the movable sleeve is positioned adjacent to an inner diameter of the tool, wherein the screen is configured to move with the moveable sleeve. The tool further comprising a temporary member positioned on the inner diameter of the moveable sleeve, the temporary member being configured to temporarily cover an inner sidewall of the screen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to herbicidally-active pyridino-/pyrimidino-pyrazole derivatives, as well as to processes and intermediates used for the preparation of such derivatives. The invention further extends to herbicidal compositions comprising such derivatives, as well as to the use of such compounds and compositions in controlling undesirable plant growth: in particular the use in controlling weeds, in crops of useful plants.

Abstract: Systems and methods describe to a downhole tool with an expandable ball seat. More specifically, the systems and methods include a sliding downhole tool with a moving screen, wherein the screen is provisionally protected by a temporary member.

Abstract: A flow control system including a mandrel having one or more ports; one or more seals in sealing contact with the mandrel; a housing positioned about the mandrel and one or more seals and in sealing contact with the one or more seals. One or more diffusers placed in a fluid pathway of the flow control system. The one or more diffusers including an inner race having a bearing surface; an outer race having a bearing surface; an axially oriented wedge in contact with both the inner race and the outer race and configured to increase distance between the inner race bearing surface. The outer race bearing surface with wedge movement in one direction while permitting distance between the inner race bearing surface and the outer race bearing surface to decrease with wedge movement in an opposite direction.

Abstract: A personal electronic device case, and method for making such personal electronic device case, created by a method of bonding a resin-type material to a selected material otherwise unsuitable for protection of a personal electronic device, and carving the resulting composition into a desired shape of personal electronic device case. The resulting phone case is both aesthetically pleasing and offers improved protection for the personal electronic device.

Abstract: Provided is a hydraulic valve including a valve body having a first port, a second port, and a pilot port, and a piston movable in the valve body to an open position by a pilot pressure flowing through the pilot port that acts on a portion of the piston to move the piston away from a valve seat in the body to allow fluid flow between the first and second ports. The piston is then movable to the closed position by a resilient member in the absence of the pilot pressure. In this way, during an event such as a power failure of a vehicle when the pilot pressure is unavailable, the valve is closed to prevent fluid draining from a hydraulic function to prevent movement of the function without using a mechanical locking device.

Abstract: A buzz bait, wrapped in stranded colored plastic, and incorporating a keeper which protrudes downward and rearwardly from the buzz blade until ends on the same plane and aligned with the barb of the hook. This keeper allows the head of an artificial bait to be connected to the keeper and the rearward end of the artificial bait to be hook so that only the tip of the hook protrudes from the artificial bait, significantly reducing the potential for the hook to become ensnared in foliage. The colored plastic wrap reinforces and stiffens the body of the lure preventing deformation when force is applied to the lure and increases the attractiveness of the lure to the fish.
