Abstract: A system and methods including workstations for use in office spaces where the workstations include electrical couplers and power distribution systems for coupling portable and rechargeable batteries to the arrangements and delivering electrical charge to affordance devices where battery charging stations are located at different locations throughout a facility and alerts including nearest charging station with fully charged batteries are provided to employees at the stations when battery depletion thresholds are met or where batteries are automatically delivered to facility locations via automated robotic carts when needed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, kits, and compositions for the highly sensitive detection of molecules. The methods, kits, and compositions are useful in determining concentrations of molecules in samples to levels of 1 femtomolar, 1 attomolar, or lower. The methods, kits, and compositions also allow the determination of concentration over a wide range, e.g., 7-log range, without need for sample dilution.

Abstract: The invention provides methods, compositions, kits, and systems for the sensitive detection of cardiac troponin. Such methods, compositions, kits, and systems are useful in diagnosis, prognosis, and determination of methods of treatment in conditions that involve release of cardiac troponin.

Abstract: The doggy doo bag and stick includes a circular bag with hinges and a plastic strap that attaches to each side of the hinged bag that allows bag to hang open and flat to the ground and two retrieval straps attached on each side of the hinged bag to allow for closing and retrieval of the bag. A telescoping rod having a grip at one end and a stationary diamond shaped wire at 45 degrees to the rod on the other end, that aids in application of the doggy doo bag.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for obtaining a composite interference-free ultrasound image when non-imaging ultrasound waves would otherwise interfere with ultrasound imaging. A conventional ultrasound imaging system is used to collect frames of ultrasound image data in the presence of non-imaging ultrasound waves, such as high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). The frames are directed to a processor that analyzes the frames to identify portions of the frame that are interference-free. Interference-free portions of a plurality of different ultrasound image frames are combined to generate a single composite interference-free ultrasound image that is displayed to a user. In this approach, a frequency of the non-imaging ultrasound waves is offset relative to a frequency of the ultrasound imaging waves, such that the interference introduced by the non-imaging ultrasound waves appears in a different portion of the frames.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a radiation-curable inkjet ink and, more particularly, to a radiation-curable inkjet ink comprising a specified polymerizable vehicle that is curable on exposure to radiation such as ultraviolet light.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a radiation curable inkjet ink and more particularly to radiation curable ink comprising a specified surfactant mixture which provides compatibility with a wide range of substrates.

Abstract: A chromatography cartridge for use in a chromatography stand has a hollow body for containing chromatography media and an end cap adapted to fit in an open end of the hollow body for closing the end of the hollow body. The end cap has an external axial surface at least partially received in the hollow body and an outer face. At least one barb extends from the external axial surface of the end cap. The at least one barb is shaped and arranged to contact an interior surface of the hollow body. At least one sealing protrusion extends from the external axial surface of the end cap. The at least one sealing protrusion is shaped and arranged for use in forming a fluid-tight connection between the end cap and the hollow body.

Abstract: This invention pertains to an ink set for inkjet printing, in particular to an ink set comprising of at least three colored inks based on specified pigment colorants.

Abstract: A containerized air freshener, having a formulation of various chemical ingredients that provide a heavily viscous or paraffin-like material that, as it evaporates or dissipates, as a result of air passing around its container, disseminates an aroma into the stream of passing air, thereby adding to the pleasant scent of every room in the house, and eliminating any unwanted odors. The container contains a front wall, back wall, and a peripheral inclined outer edge, which accommodates the flow of air there passed, and enhances the generation of reduced pressure, or slight suction, at the surface of the formulation, to provide for its attraction into the passing air. A seal may be provided upon the wall of the container, to seal the formulation in place, once it has been filled within the container, with the seal being removed, once the containerized air freshener has been fastened to a cold air return vent or register by means of a magnet, or a clip, to hold the same in place during usage.

Abstract: A chromatography cartridge for use in a chromatography stand comprises a tube for containing chromatography media. An end cap is adapted to fit in an end of the tube for closing the end of the tube. The end cap has a generally cylindric body having an external axial surface at least partially received in the tube and an outer face. At least one protrusion extends from the external axial surface of the body. The protrusion is shaped and arranged to contact an interior surface of the tube to form a fluid-tight connection between the end cap and the tube.
