  • Publication number: 20240108547
    Abstract: Embodiments of an adapter, a system including the adapter, and methods of using the adapter may be for mixing a first substance and a second substance. The adapter may include a body having a first port configured to connect with a first container to receive a first substance, a second port configured to connect with a second container to receive a second substance, a third port configured to connect with a recipient container to output a mixture of the first substance and the second substance, and a mixing chamber having a first portion in communication with the first port and the second port and a second portion in communication with the third port. The adapter may further include a mixing pin inserted into the mixing chamber. In some embodiments, the mixing pin at least partially defines at least one microfluidic path for mixing the first substance and the second substance. In some embodiments, at least one of the first channel and the second channel are oriented offset of a central plane of the body.

  • Patent number: 8935991
    Abstract: A small animal veterinary incubator is disclosed with an animal holding drawer that can be inserted into a temperature controlled enclosure and removed when not in use for cleaning and disinfecting. In various embodiments the incubator is portable, is at least partly transparent, controls interior oxygen and/or humidity, can use a hose to bring oxygen into close proximity with incubated animals, can introduce water-nebulized air or oxygen into the drawer through a hole, and can include a holder for a humidity bottle that humidifies air or oxygen supplied to the incubator. Some embodiments use an adjustable or regulated lamp to warm the incubator using an infrared bulb of 50 or 75 Watts. Temperature, humidity, and/or oxygen gages or sensors can be included, and the temperature, oxygen, and/or humidity can be automatically regulated. Preferred embodiments include closable vents that can be opened to allow for ventilation when only temperature is controlled.

  • Patent number: 8065307
    Abstract: The present invention may be used to analyze subject content, search and analyze reference content, compare the subject and reference content for similarity, and output comparison reports between the subject and reference content. The present invention may incorporate and utilize text from intrinsic and/or extrinsic subject documents. The analysis may employ a variety of metrics, including scores generated from a natural language processing system, scores based on classification similarity, scores based on proximity similarity, and in the case of analysis of patent documents, scores based on measurement of claims.

  • Publication number: 20050165823
    Abstract: The present invention facilitates the analysis of binaries, components, configurations, and their footprints for component design and optimization. Complete and meaningful binary, component, configuration, and footprint information allows formal methods for component analysis and configuration optimization. A binary dependency database persists and stores binary dependency information. The binary dependency database provides detailed dependency information among binaries.
