Abstract: A dryer for drying articles, such as vials of pharmaceutical bulk product, such as vaccines is disclosed. The dryer circulates ambient air through a plenum to evenly evaporate condensation on vials of pharmaceutical brought from refrigeration for labeling and further handling.

Abstract: A method of defending against toxic munitions which release airborne toxic materials is provided. The method includes the steps of detecting the physical properties of the airborne toxic material, detecting the physical properties of the munition, reading meteorological conditions at the location of the airborne toxic material, predicting the dispersion of the toxic munition, and modelling the predicted dispersion on a display monitor of a computer. The method also predicts the dispersion of an airborne toxic material at a known location.

Abstract: A unitary bird bell support formed of plastic material includes a substantially planar disk including a top surface on which the bell rests, and a hanging tab integrally hinged to the disk at a hinge line which is located substantially at a center of the disk. A portion of the hanging tab is cut from the disk to form a radial slot which extends from the peripheral edge of the disk to the inner margin of the slot which forms the hinge line between the disk and hanging tab. The hanging tab is movable between an unfolded position in which the hanging tab is substantially coplanar with the disk and includes a portion which is positioned within the slot, and a folded position in which the hanging tab is substantially normal to the disk, extending upwardly and being positionable within an axial slot within the bird bell. The top portion of the hanging tab should extend upwardly out from the axial slot and has an aperture by which the support and bird bell may be hung.
