Abstract: An article of footwear includes an adjustable element. The adjustable element includes a bladder that defines an interior void. A compressible component that is disposed within the interior void and is operable between an expanded state and a contracted state. The adjustable element also includes a lock strip including a first end anchored at a first location within the bladder and a second end disposed at an opposite end of the lock strip than the first end. A lock receives the lock strip and is operable between a locked state restricting movement of the lock strip relative to the bladder and an unlocked state permitting movement of the lock strip relative to the bladder.

Abstract: A dental article such as a dental tray aligner or a dental crown that includes a substrate including a polymeric material having a modulus of elasticity that reduces upon exposure to water and a water-resistant coating on the substrate, where the water-resistant coating comprises parylene. In some examples, the water-resistant coating may include one or more layers that include parylene.

Abstract: A method and vaccine for modulating the immune system of animals with diseases other than caused by P. insidiosum, comprising administering to the animal immune modulating effective amount of the P. insidiosum, Strain MTPI-04. The vaccine uses an immune response that effectively treats and manages a variety of human and animal diseases.

Abstract: A lead free environmentally friendly ammunition which may be tailored within a range of compositions for specific uses, but generally comprises a mixture of metal powder and mineral filler in combination with a water soluble binder plastic resin and a lubricant. For hunting uses and other uses requiring high level accuracy the amount of metal powder is increased, for other uses where precision shooting is less important such as drug dosing of animals, less metal is used along with increased amounts of mineral filler. The bullets are accurate, and can be frangible. Formulations within the overall range may also be used to make shot for shotgun shells.

Abstract: Solid dose ballistic projectile for medicating animals which comprises a biologically compatible projectile casing which defines an interior cavity having a wall with a frictionally engagement enhanced surface. A medicament payload, slightly oversized with respect to the cavity, is forced into the cavity engaging the frictionally-enhanced cavity surface for a tight, secure fit. The bullets are of improved accuracy and can be successfully implanted into the flesh of an animal with greater reliability.

Abstract: A method and packaging for vaccinating or medicating an animal by implanting a solid dose medicament in an animal. The solid dose medicament, or plurality of such medicaments, are each color-coded to identify a particular active ingredient, then packaged in a pellet magazine through which the doses are visible, and thereafter the pellets are implanted, usually subcutaneously, into the base of the ear or in the neck of an animal. The same system can be used for colored ballistic implants.

Abstract: A method for vaccinating an animal by implanting subcutaneously an immune stimulating biologically active material into an animal with a biologically active pellet is described. Particularly described is the method of vaccinating an animal by implanting the pellet in the ear of an animal to eliminate edible tissue damage without inducing a "drooped ear" or "down ear".
