  • Publication number: 20240158470
    Abstract: Systems and methods for preparing enriched biological samples, and methods of use thereof are described herein. The systems can include a containment device connected to a first insert to collect tissue fragments in the containment device or to a second insert to incubate tissue fragments with a blood sample in the containment device. The methods can include methods for preparing a cytokine or growth factor-enriched biological sample, such as IL-1 Ra-enriched serum, methods of treating inflammation, inflammatory joint, or rheumatoid arthritis, and methods of preventing inflammation of a joint following arthroscopic surgery.

  • Publication number: 20230166598
    Abstract: A control system for a vehicle comprises a controller comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions. The system comprises first, second, and third inputs configured to be manipulated by an operator. The system comprises first, second, and third displays adjacent the first, second, and third inputs, respectively. The first, second and third displays are configured to show first, second, and third indicia, respectively. Manipulation of the first input by the operator transmits a selection input signal to the controller. The controller receives the selection input signal. The processor compares the selection input signal to the instructions in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, transmits a selection output signal to the second and third displays, removes the second and third indicia from the second and third displays, and shows a first sub-selection indicium on the second display and a second sub-selection indicium on the third display.

  • Publication number: 20210246638
    Abstract: A faucet configured for single-hole installation includes a center body within which a connector body defining hot and cold water inlets and an outlet is supported. A pair of side bodies are attached to the center body about opposite sides of the center body. Bridges including flow paths extend between and connect each side body to the center body. A valve supported within the first side body fluidly couples the hot water inlet with the outlet via the flow path of the first bridge responsive to rotation of a handle supported by the first side body. A valve supported within the second side body fluidly couples the cold water inlet with the outlet via the flow path of the second bridge responsive to rotation of a handle supported by the second side body.

  • Publication number: 20050086921
    Abstract: Lower spiked rollers in the bottom of a cotton accumulator are inclined in the downstream direction towards an opening and rotate in the same direction to pull cotton down to the opening. An upper spiked roller located above the opening and above the last of the lower spiked rollers is only partially exposed to the cotton in the accumulator. The upper roller meters the cotton and tears apart clumps. An opening above the upper roller defines an upper discharge opening over the main discharge opening. When in a non-rotating condition, the spiked rollers act as a floor for the accumulator and prevent egress of the cotton through the openings.

  • Publication number: 20050086922
    Abstract: A hood receives a stream of material including a mix of cotton, air and debris from an air delivery system on a cotton harvester. A forward deflector directs the mixture towards the rear of an accumulator. The deflected mixture passes under finger grates which retains cotton but allows some of the air and light trash to pass through out of the stream. A curved rear deflector forces the remaining mix downwardly towards the accumulator and prevents build-up on receptacle walls. Air and light debris change direction abruptly at the bottom of the rear deflector and exit through an inlet area and upwardly directed path at the back of the deflector. The momentum of the heavier cotton prevents cotton from making the tight turn around the bottom of the deflector and directs the cotton towards the receptacle or accumulator. The inlet area can be adjusted or closed completely to prevent cotton loss in certain conditions.

  • Publication number: 20050081502
    Abstract: A chassis-mounted round baler particularly useful with an on-board cotton module building system includes a bale release gate frame section connected to a forward frame section by a four bar linkage to define a gate path that allows the folding of the baler into both field transport and shipping configurations while maintaining desirable operating, transport and shipping heights. The gate linkage incorporates a self latching feature wherein a small vertical movement of the gate as the gate cylinders are operated releases a gate latch member from a forward frame member during gate opening and reengages the gate latch with the forward frame member during closing. The gate interacts with the bale handler to provide a stop for the baler gate when the baler gate is placed into a cradle on the handler.
