Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a manufacturing system, method and control circuitry for quality assured manufacturing of at least two biopharmaceutical products. The manufacturing system comprises a warehouse facility, a hydration facility, and at least two biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, wherein the warehouse facility and hydration facility are comprised in the macro structure. Each biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility is comprised in a respective micro node, and a control facility in the macro structure is configured to control interoperability of the macro structure and the micro nodes by means of a network spine interconnecting the macro structure with each micro node.

Abstract: Instruments for placing complex sutures into animal tissues, including instruments useful in arthroscopic surgical techniques which minimize incision size. Manipulate the flat tissue by, for example, rolling, wrinkling, folding, bending or tucking the tissue so that a needle can be placed through the tissue more than once. Sutures are placed, for example from top-to-bottom and bottom-to-top with a single pass of a straight needle. Roll, wrinkle, fold, bend or tuck the flat tissue so that a needle can be placed through the tissue more than once. Suturing a loop through the tissue that another suture will pass through result in sewing both sides of the tissue. This will allow surgeons to place complex locking and grasping suture configurations that will significantly improve the repair.

Abstract: A method includes etching silicon using a mixture of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid in which less than 6 mols of hydrofluoric acid is used to etch one mol of silicon. The etching may be conducted at an elevated temperature, such as a temperature of at least 70 degrees Celsius.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a manufacturing system, method and control circuitry for quality assured manufacturing of at least two biopharmaceutical products. The manufacturing system (100) comprises a warehouse facility (210), a hydration facility (220), and at least two biopharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, wherein the warehouse facility (210) and hydration facility (220) are comprised in the macro structure (200). Each biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility is comprised in a respective micro node (300), and a control facility (230) in the macro structure (200) is configured to control interoperability of the macro structure (200) and the micro nodes (300) by means of a network spine interconnecting the macro structure (200) with each micro node (300).

Abstract: Methods and systems for low emission power generation in hydrocarbon recovery processes are provided. One system includes integrated pressure maintenance and miscible flood systems with low emission power generation. The system may also include integration of a pressure swing reformer (PSR), air-blown auto-thermal reformer (ATR), or oxygen-blown ATR with a gas power turbine system, preferably a combined cycle gas power turbine system. Such systems may be employed to capture and utilize greenhouse gases (GHG) and generate power for use in hydrocarbon recovery operations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of activating an organic coating to enhance adhesion of the coating to a further coating and/or to other entities comprising applying a solvent and a surface chemistry and/or surface topography modifying agent to the organic coating. The invention also relates to a coated substrate having an activated coating, wherein the adhesion of the coating to a further coating and/or other entities has been enhanced by application of a solvent and a surface chemistry and/or surface topography modifying agent to the coating. The invention further relates to an activation treatment for an organic coating to enhance adhesion of the coating to a further coating and/or to other entities comprising a solvent and a surface chemistry and/or surface topography modifying agent and a method for the preparation of the activation treatment.

Abstract: An umbilical cable for delivering electrical signals between an aircraft and a smart weapon carried by the aircraft. The umbilical cable includes cabling comprising a plurality of conductive wires, a first connector provided on one end of the cabling and configured to connect to the aircraft, and a second connector provided on the other end of the cabling and configured to connect to the smart weapon. The umbilical cable further includes an interface circuit electrically coupled between the first connector and the second connector via the plurality of conductive wires. The interface circuit is configured to receive via the first connector a non-standard combination of signals comprising at least one of data signals, control signals and power signals not receivable directly by the smart weapon to carry out operations.

Abstract: A display case or food merchandiser for displaying and serving hot food items or other products, has one or more long wave, infrared emitting heating elements. The voltage, and therefore the output, of the heating elements is controlled by a solid state percentage controller.
