Abstract: A cage for containing a small animal includes various features adapted to provide a means of cleaning the cage that is fast, easy, and clean, without disassembling, tipping, tilting, or lifting the cage. A panel defining a portion of a cage floor or wall element, or a combination thereof, can be transitioned by a user from a closed state to an open state to reveal an opening, allowing soiled materials to be neatly swept through the opening and directly into a receptacle placed below a portion of the cage containing the opening. A control element coupled to the panel may be provided to allow the user to transition the panel between the closed and open states with minimal manipulation of the cage itself.

Abstract: A toy including a ball shaped container removably mounted atop a stand. The container may be opened with the top portion of the container being unfolded creating an erect figurine. The bottom half of the container is inverted atop the stand and has a rotatable platform to removably support the figurine in the erect position.

Abstract: A multilayer fibrous nonwoven mat containing at least one transition zone comprised of a mixture of the slurries used to form the layers on each side of the transition zone, the transition zone having a thickness of at least 1 percent of the thickness of the mat. At least one of the layers contains glass fibers. The multilayer mats are particularly useful as facers on gypsum wall board, insulating foam, a wood material and a broad range of other materials. The multilayer mats are made by a method that involves using a lamella in the forming box on a wet laid mat machine, between slurries, the lamella ending a significant distance prior to a moving forming wire. The transition zone or zones provide superior interlaminar shear strength and other properties compared to multilayer fibrous mats produced on wet laid machines having two or more separate forming boxes.

Abstract: An injector for injection a fluid into a patient, including: a first pressurizing mechanism adapted to operatively connect with a first fluid container to pressurize fluid therein; at least a second pressurizing mechanism to operatively connect with a second fluid container to pressurize a fluid therein; a single drive; and a transmission to control how power from the drive is distributed to the first pressurizing mechanism of the first container and to the second pressurizing mechanism of the second container to control injection of fluid from the first container and from the second container. The drive can, for example, be an electric motor or other drive.
