Abstract: A printhead die includes end regions, a nozzle surface region, fluid passages, ejection chambers, fluid ejectors, non-ejection chambers, and heating resistors. The nozzle surface region is disposed between the end regions. The fluid passages include corresponding ejection nozzles. The ejection nozzles are disposed on the nozzle surface region. The fluid ejectors correspond to the ejection chambers. Each one of the fluid ejectors selectively ejects printing fluid through a corresponding ejection nozzle. The plurality of heating resistors corresponds to the non-ejection chambers. The heating resistors selectively provide heat to the end regions while not ejecting printing fluid through the ejection nozzles.

Abstract: An improved circuit breaker locking device is provided that is capable of locking any one of a set of push-pull circuit breaker actuators having shaft and top annular flanges of different diameters. The device includes a pair of opposing body sections, each having a proximal and a distal recess arranged in tandem, and an elastic joining member that joins the opposing body sections together. The proximal and distal recesses of the opposing body sections are sized to capture without frictionally gripping the largest diameter cylindrical shaft section and the largest annular flange of the set of actuators when the body sections are joined together around the actuator. The interface between the proximal and distal recesses is sized to interfere with and prevent passage of the smallest annular flange of all of the actuators.

Abstract: Provided are cyclobutyl nucleosides and methods for their use in treatment of infections including Retroviridae (including HIV), Hepadnaviridae (including HBV), or Flaviviridae (including BVDV and HCV) infection, or conditions related to abnormal cellular proliferation, in a host, including animals, and especially humans.

Abstract: A fluid ejection device includes a fluidic layer assembly mounted to a substrate, the fluidic layer assembly having a raised portion formed on a side that faces away from the substrate. A first nozzle is formed through a portion of the fluidic layer assembly other than the raised portion, and a second, larger nozzle is formed through the raised portion. A method of fabricating a fluid ejection device includes applying a first layer of a photoresist material to a substrate and a second layer of a photoresist material to the first layer. A sequence of exposures defines a first region of soluble material in the first layer that becomes the first nozzle and second and third regions of soluble material in the first and second layers, respectively, that jointly become the second nozzle. A region of insoluble material in the second layer becomes the raised portion.

Abstract: The invention to a system which is used to dry objects, comprising a drying cubicle (1), known per se, wherein the objects are exposed to hot air. The process waste air from a high temperature fuel cell (10) is used as hot air which is directly introduced into the drying cubicle (1). The high pressure fuel cell (10) is operated, according to thermal energy required for the drying process, whereby according to the extent thereof electric energy is also accumulated and is disregarded when controlling the high temperature fuel cell (10), whereby electrical consumers for said electrical energy can always be found. The inventive system and method for drying objects are relatively inexpensive and have a very high energy utilisation ratio.

Abstract: A foot washer including a tray for holding water and a removable foot support member for insertion into the tray. The foot support member includes a grid member having a plurality of openings therethrough to thereby allow sand or other particulate debris to fall through the grid member and to the closed bottom of the tray. The grid member is supported by a support member such that the grid member is positioned above the closed bottom and below the open top of the tray. The tray is filled with water in order to submerge the grid member. The grid member is preferably substantially flat. To assist in draining water from the tray, the tray is preferably provided with a spigot.

Abstract: The described embodiments relate to methods and systems for forming slots in a substrate. In one exemplary embodiment, a slot is formed in a substrate that has first and second opposing surfaces. A first trench is dry etched through the first surface of the substrate. A second trench is created through the second surface of the substrate effective to form, in combination with the first trench, a slot. At least a portion of the slot passes entirely through the substrate, and the maximum width of the slot is less than or equal to about 50 of the thickness of the substrate.
