Abstract: A mixture of beads of uniform size from is deposited in an array by establishing discrete attachment areas each consisting either of a droplet of adhesive or a small area of a continuous adhesive layer exposed through an aperture in a mask. Beads which are trapped by the attachment areas are released either by a solvent on a vacuum manifold, or by evaporation of the adhesive, preferably by means of a vacuum centrifuge. The beads are released into capillaries, in which cleavage of attached compounds, or synthesis of new compounds, can be carried out. Also invented is the apparatus used in carrying out the invention.

Abstract: A vertically movable desk organizer unit, mounted at the front end of a desk, having pivotable trays and bins. A compartmentalized storage center which may be raised and lowered is provided, having rotatable, coverable trays, tiltable bins, and other receptacles for office stationary. When the organizer is in the raised position, the trays and bins pivot towards the desk surface, permitting easy access; when the unit is being lowered to a position flush with the desk surface, the trays and bins are vertically pivoted, thereby ensuing a minimum of depth requirement for the unit beyond the end of the desk.

Abstract: An improved cultivator glove has been designed which comprises a full handed glove covering all four fingers and thumb and a point element attached to each finger and thumb of this glove wherein the point extends from one-half inch to one and one-half inches beyond the end of the fingers and thumb. The point element can be made of fiber glass or metal and can be attached to the glove by molding to the ends of the fingers and glove or by attaching said point to the underside of the fingers and glove.
