Abstract: Herein, a cleaning device for a rotary evaporator (2) is provided. The rotary evaporator (2) comprises at least a rotatably arranged rotary flask (4) for receiving a substance to be evaporated and a condenser (5) for condensing the evaporated substance during operation of the rotary evaporator (2). The cleaning device (1) comprises at least a supply line (16, 16?) for supplying a cleaning agent, a cleaning agent supply (13) for storing the cleaning agent and a pressure generating means (15) for generating a pressure in the cleaning agent in order to supply a pressurized cleaning agent from the cleaning agent supply (13) through the supply line (16, 16?) to the rotary flask (4) and/or to the condenser (5).

Abstract: A method for decreasing a Call Setup Time Key Performance Indicator (CST KPI) of an Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia call in a mobile telecommunications network includes: initiating the IP multimedia call from an originating user equipment (UE) to a terminating UE; transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP) call initiation message from the originating UE to a terminating Proxy-Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) through an originating Serving-Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF); and creating a wake-up message via a network element upon receiving the SIP call initiation message. The wake-up message bypasses a plurality of network application servers (ASs) to start switching a transition of the terminating UE from an idle state to a connected state before the SIP call initiation message reaches the terminating P-CSCF.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently capturing targets, such as biological materials, within the air are described. A lightweight, portable device is configured to capture the targets without desiccation by flowing a mixture of air carrying the targets with liquid droplets through a nonlinear path in a partially enclosed interior of the device. For example, a method includes generating an impinging jet comprising a mixture of air, a target, and droplets. A baffle splits the impinging jet into a recirculation zone and coalesces a mixture of the target and the droplets onto an upper surface of the baffle. At least one channel receives the coalesced mixture and transports the coalesced mixture to a collection reservoir.

Abstract: A sample vessel includes a biological sample container and a sample stabilizer container. The biological sample container is configured to receive a biological sample and to store the biological sample. The sample stabilizer container is configured to contain a stabilizer associated with the biological sample. The sample stabilizer container is assembled from a stabilizer vial, an adaptor, and a fluid channel. The stabilizer vial is configured to store an amount of the stabilizer. The adaptor is configured to secure the biological sample container and the stabilizer vial such that the biological sample container and the stabilizer vial form the sample vessel. The fluid channel extends through the adaptor from the stabilizer vial to the biological sample container, the biological sample moving from the biological sample container into the stabilizer vial through the fluid channel.
