  • Patent number: 11307180
    Abstract: A method for the automatic chromatography of thin-layer plates for thin-layer chromatography with a development chamber 1 in which a thin-layer plate D is completely enclosed, sealed-off and isolated from the external environment. In the development chamber, a front space containing an inner atmosphere is located on the front face of the separation layer of the thin-layer plate. The depth of the front space is about 2 mm and a maximum 3 mm. An inlet is provided at one end of the front space and an outlet is provided at the other end of the front space. During the chromatographic development, a stream of gas of particular composition determined by the user is created throughout the entire front space, the entire inner atmosphere being set in motion, without stagnant or stationary gas phase.

  • Patent number: 10587703
    Abstract: Technology for providing communication connectivity between network entities located in different isolated communication networks through a centralized cloud service. A cloud service connector in a source communication network receives an initial connection request from a source end point device in the source communication network, and determines a customer name and requested service associated with the port number indicated in the request. Mappings are established between the source end point device and a destination end point device that provides the requested service from within a destination communication network that is associated with the customer name.

  • Publication number: 20180170590
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a product packing apparatus are disclosed. Embodiments may include a rotating head assembly configured to selectively rotate all or a portion of unique feed lines, to generate a desired packaging configuration. For example, embodiments of the present approach may be used to package bottles or cans of various beverage varieties. A plurality of feedlines may direct beverage varieties towards a rotating head assembly. Each feedline may deliver a specific beverage variety. Depending on the desired packaging configuration, some feedlines may divert around the rotating head assembly, whereas others deliver beverage varieties in linear arrays to the rotating head assembly. The rotating head assembly rotates a select portion of the beverage varieties to generate a desired packaging configuration of beverage varieties.

  • Patent number: 9730691
    Abstract: A staple clip for providing an attachment function in a surgical procedure is described. A center hub has a center hub aperture. The center hub defines a lateral hub plane. A plurality of joining legs each has an inner leg end attached to the center hub and an outer foot defining a lateral foot plane. The inner leg end and outer foot are separated along the leg by an elongate leg body extending laterally outward and longitudinally downward from the center hub. A plurality of lobe pads are attached to the center hub and lie substantially within the lateral hub plane. The inner leg ends and lobe pads alternate with each other around a periphery of the center hub.

  • Patent number: 9193079
    Abstract: A linkage mechanism for a wet shaving razor is provided. The linkage mechanism is pivotally connected to and suspended from the handle at one end and pivotally and removably attached to the cartridge carrier at an opposite end allowing the cartridge carrier to pivot about a virtual pivot axis located below the shaving plane and into the skin. The linkage mechanism provides flexibility in positioning the virtual pivot axis since it is not limited to the physical constraints of the cartridge. As a result, the shaving razor cartridge has a flatter contact with the skin throughout the shaving stroke providing shaving comfort with reduced nicks and cuts.

  • Patent number: 9015951
    Abstract: A razor cartridge has a housing, a guard located at a front of the housing and a cap located at a rear of the housing. A skin contact element is disposed in the housing partway between the guard and the cap. A skin contact plane defines a plane tangential to the guard and the skin contact element and a plane tangential to the skin contact element and the cap. One or more blades are located between the guard and the skin contact element, each of the blades having a cutting edge located at a distance y1 between 70 ?m and 300 ?m and at an angle ?1 between 20° and 45° below the skin contact plane. One or more blades are located between the skin contact element and the cap, each of the blades having a cutting edge located at an angle ?2 above or below the skin contact plane, wherein ?2 is lower in magnitude than ?1.
