Abstract: The present invention relates to core-shell capsules prepared with linear and/or branched and cyclic aliphatic polyisocyanates. In particular, the present invention discloses a core-shell capsule, wherein the shell comprises or consists of a polymeric material which is produced or producible by reacting two components, the first component comprising or consisting of at least one linear aliphatic polyisocyanate and/or at least one branched aliphatic polyisocyanate having more than one isocyanate group, respectively, and at least one cyclic aliphatic polyisocyanate having more than one isocyanate group, the second component comprising or consisting of one or more crosslinking agent(s). Furthermore, a product comprising the present core-shell capsule, a process for producing the present core-shell capsules and the use of the present core-shell capsules is provided.

Abstract: A human powered multi-functional pet cart for transporting pets or animals. This invented cart is particularly beneficial for pets with health problems, but may be used with any pet. A riding bed, which is 1 to 12 inches above ground, enables easy entrance and exit for animals with mobility problems. An accessory station with an extension bar permits a variety of pet accessories to be carried over the riding bed. Pet accessories can be carried which address comfort, standard necessities, or special pet needs. The use of a detachable front wheel assembly allows the cart to fit into a small vehicle for remote use. Padded floors and sidewall windows are designed make the riding more enjoyable for the pet.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for embodiments of the present invention to describe a technique that provides an operation region and associated operation region handler to define a virtual device for extending the functionality of an existing operating system.

Abstract: A method of separating solid particles present in a liquid in which the solid particles float by subjecting the liquid to centrifugal force in a chamber thereby causing the solid particles to move radially inwardly and produce a pack of solid particles while the liquid freed of solid particles flows radially outwardly; continuously withdrawing liquid freed of solid particles from the chamber; and continuously removing solid particles from the pack.Apparatus for centrifugal separation of solid particles from a liquid in which they are buoyant, comprising a chamber adapted to be rotated about an axis; a conduit to continuously feed liquid containing the solid particles to the chamber; a conduit to continuously withdraw liquid substantially free of solid particles from the chamber; and a scraper to continuously remove solid particles from a pack of solid particles which forms in the chamber as a result of centrifugal force when the chamber is rapidly rotated.
