Abstract: Devices and/or adapters for use with a syringe are disclosed. An example device for use with a syringe may include a first member having a holding region configured to engage a flange of a syringe barrel. The device may also include a second member coupled to the first member. The second member may have an end surface configured to engage a syringe plunger. Relative movement between the first member and the second member may shift the syringe plunger within the syringe barrel.

Abstract: A system for optical interrogation of tissue samples, the system including: a microtome configured to section one or more tissue sections from a tissue block, the one or more tissue sections including one or more tissue samples; a transfer medium configured to gather the one or more tissue sections and to transfer the one or more tissue sections to one or more slides; and an optical interrogation system including an illumination system configured to illuminate the one or more tissue sections and an imaging system configured to perform an imaging analysis on the one or more tissue sections illuminated with the illumination system.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to flow control devices for cancer treatment systems and related methods. In an embodiment, a fluid flow control device for a cancer therapy system is included having a receiver housing, wherein the receiver housing can be configured to interface with a fluid delivery device. The fluid flow control device can also include a rotational plunger. The rotational plunger can include indicia, such as markings, on an end of the rotational plunger. The rotational plunger can be configured to engage with the receiver housing and rotation of the rotational plunger causes a plunger of the syringe to be depressed. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: A method and system for determining and displaying a turn to a heading entry for an aircraft has been developed. First, a preliminary heading selection and a preliminary turn direction are entered into an automated flight control system (AFCS) for an aircraft. The preliminary heading selection and the preliminary turn direction are displayed to a pilot of the aircraft. A subsequent heading selection is entered into the AFCS while the aircraft is engaged in turning to the preliminary heading selection in the preliminary turn direction. A shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is determined. A determination is made if the shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is the same direction and the preliminary turn direction and a notice is displayed to the pilot of the aircraft is the shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is not the same direction and the preliminary turn direction.

Abstract: One or more datalink labels are displayed on a shared panel of a user interface. The datalink labels are generated in response to receiving a datalink message from at least one ground station. Upon receiving a selection of the datalink label, one or more sub-panels that include information or a representation of the datalink message are displayed on the user interface. In some embodiments, the sub-panel includes a button that, when selected, automatically generates a response message. Utilizing datalink labels in conjunction with the shared panel simplifies datalink messaging and enables messaging functions to be completed on the same screen regardless of which application (or function of an application) is currently displayed on the user interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides markers specific for pluripotent stem cells. In particular, the present disclosure relates to nucleic acid and polypeptide markers that are selectively expressed by pluripotent stem cells; and to methods for detecting the presence and/or absence of one or a plurality of pluripotent stem cells, by detecting such markers.

Abstract: A process for preparing a polymer-coated hard shell capsule can be performed. The hard shell capsule has a body and a cap. In the closed state the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state. The hard shell capsule is provided in the pre-locked state and coated with a coating solution, suspension or dispersion that has at least one polymer; at least one glidant; at least one emulsifier; optionally at least one plasticizer; optionally at least one biologically active ingredient; and optionally at least one additive, different from the above. The process is used to obtain a coated, preferably only at the outer surface, hard shell capsule in the pre-locked state, wherein the coating solution, suspension or dispersion has a surface tension of at most 38 mN/m. The polymer-coated hard shell capsule obtained from the process is used for immediate, delayed or sustained release.

Abstract: To facilitate improved Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) interfacing, report messages can be automatically armed and displayed in a threaded message format in the same message panel with other CPDLC messages between a vehicle and a ground system. Upon determining that a report is needed based on an uplink CPDLC message from the ground system, a report message label is displayed on the CPDLC message panel. Once the report is ready, it is automatically armed and the report message label indicates to the operator that the report message is ready to be sent. The operator can also select the report message label in the message panel to display the report message.

Abstract: Methods for treating cough, chronic cough and urges to cough associated with respiratory diseases with a P2X3 and/or a P2X2/3 receptor antagonist, the methods comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R1 and R2 are as defined herein.

Abstract: A process for preparing a polymer-coated hard shell capsule that has at least a functional coat and a top coat, suitable as container for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical biologically active ingredients can be performed. The hard shell capsule has a body and a cap, wherein in the closed state the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state, wherein the hard shell capsule is provided in the pre-locked state and is coated with a first coating solution, suspension or dispersion that has at least one polymer; optionally at least one glidant; optionally at least one emulsifier; optionally at least one plasticizer; optionally at least one biologically active ingredient; and optionally at least one additive. The polymer-coated hard shell capsule obtained from the process according to the invention can be used for immediate, delayed or sustained release.

Abstract: A method of securing a filter element within a pressure vessel without a user breaching a plane of the pressure vessel is provided. The method includes attaching a filter locking nut to a removal/installation tool, wherein the removal/installation tool comprises an elongated body, inserting the filter locking nut into the pressure vessel, securing the filter locking nut to a threaded rod to secure a filter element in place, detaching the removal/installation tool from the filter locking nut, and removing the removal/installation tool from the pressure vessel. At least a portion of the elongated body of the removal/installation tool extends outside of the pressure vessel for the duration of the attaching, inserting, securing, detaching, and removing steps.
