  • Publication number: 20250331473
    Abstract: A planter edging system with a set of edging panels is described. Each panel includes: a planter wall having an inner surface, the inner surface having longitudinal edges connected by side edges; and an end flange extending along each side edge of the inner surface of the planter wall, each end flange defining an outwardly-directed mating face arranged to engage a mating face of an adjacent edging panel, each mating face including multiple locking apertures. The system further includes: a gusset configured to hold one or more of the edging panels upright; a panel connector comprising multiple locking protrusions, each locking protrusion being arranged for insertion through locking apertures of engaged end flanges of adjacent edging panels; and a locking member arranged to engage at least one of the locking protrusions of the panel connector to resist retraction of the or each locking protrusion through the respective locking apertures.

  • Patent number: 10946373
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to exemplary embodiments of systems, methods, techniques, processes, products and product components that can facilitate users making improved absorbance or fluorescence measurements in the field of spectroscopy with reduced (minimal) sample waste, and increased throughput, particularly in the study of biological sciences. A method and device for photometric measurement of liquids. The method includes the steps of: The method includes the steps of; providing a pipette tip, the pipette tip being made of an optically clear body having an outer wall and an inner wall, the inner wall defining an inner space for receiving a liquid sample, the inner space providing a cross-sectional path length for light; positioning the pipette tip between a light source and a light collector; measuring light transmission through the liquid sample; adjusting the inner space of the pipette tip to change the cross-sectional length, and measuring light transmission through the liquid sample.
