  • Patent number: 10750906
    Abstract: In order to improve the safety and handling of a brazier (1) for burning wood and similar fuels, comprising a substantially pot-shaped basket (2) and a fire pan (4), it is suggested that the fire pan (4) is mounted on the basket (2) such that these can pivot relative to one another, particularly tipping by 180° or “overend” from the operating position into a fire-extinguishing position, the basket (2) that lies above when in said extinguishing position serving as the cover hood that puts out the fire. This brazier can also be in the form of a tea light, a standard or table lamp or a pendant lamp.

  • Patent number: 10753927
    Abstract: A method for assaying a sample for each of multiple analytes is described. The method includes contacting an array of spaced-apart test zones with a liquid sample (e.g., whole blood). The test zones disposed within a channel of a microfluidic device. The channel is defined by at least one flexible wall and a second wall which may or may not be flexible. Each test zone comprising a probe compound specific for a respective target analyte. The microfluidic device is compressed to reduce the thickness of the channel, which is the distance between the inner surfaces of the walls within the channel. The presence of each analyte is determined by optically detecting an interaction at each of multiple test zones for which the distance between the inner surfaces at the corresponding location is reduced. The interaction at each test zone is indicative of the presence in the sample of a target analyte.

  • Publication number: 20200179184
    Abstract: This disclosure includes embodiments of disposable absorbent articles and methods of making disposable absorbent articles that include closures with a web of material and hook fasteners that are unitary with the web. For example, some of the present disposable absorbent articles include diapers or briefs with closure members, such as back ears or front ears, defined at least in part by a nonwoven web with hook fasteners that are unitary with the nonwoven web. Use of such unitary hook fasteners allows simpler construction of such articles and/or softer closure members for improved fit and user comfort, and/or other benefits. Certain embodiments of the present methods can manufacture such absorbent articles with fewer manufacturing steps or processes and/or fewer raw materials, relative to those required to manufacture prior art absorbent articles with hook fastener patches that are added by application of a separate piece of material that includes the hook fasteners.

  • Patent number: 10411142
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for production of components comprising a Schottky diode by means of printing technology. The method involves a step of application and deposition of a semiconductor-nanoparticle dispersion on a first electrode, which is disposed on a substrate, the step of exposure to laser light of the deposited semiconductor-nanoparticle dispersion to form a mu-cone with a bottom and a tip, wherein the bottom of the mu-cone is joined to the first electrode, the step of embedding the thus-formed mu-cone in an electrically insulating polymer matrix, and the step of applying a second electrode, so that the tip of the mu-cone is joined to the second electrode.
