Abstract: An air handling unit for a data centre, a data centre comprising such, a method of operating such, and a method of cooling IT equipment in a data centre using such, is disclosed. The unit comprises an external airflow path (102) arranged to be in fluid communication with outside air, a separate internal airflow path (103) arranged to be in fluid communication with inside air, and heat tube panels (106). Preferably, each heat tube panel (106) comprises a heat tube comprising a first section in the external airflow path (102) and a second section in the internal airflow path (103). Preferably, the plurality of heat tube panels (106) is in a row across the internal and external air flow paths (103, 102).

Abstract: Provided are nanoparticle-based vaccines that have an adjuvant coating attached to the external surface thereof to serve as an immunopotentiator. Most advantageously the nanoparticle vaccines have IgM antibodies attached to the external surface of an antigenic nanoparticle to serve as an immunopotentiator. The IgM may be attached by specifically binding to an epitope of the underlying nanoparticle including, but not limited to, the target vaccine immunogen. Since, however, the availability of specific IgMs is limited and less than the number of potential antigens that may be used as vaccines, attaching an IgM of the disclosure may require a hapten molecule that can be attached to the nanoparticle. By selecting a hapten that can be specifically recognized and bound by an IgM, it is possible to attach the hapten-specific IgM to a wide-variety of vaccine antigens.

Abstract: A single use injector is a disposable injection device that is specifically optimized for production using the blow fill seal (BFS) manufacturing process and includes various mechanisms that render the device inoperable and facilitate its safe disposal after use. The single use injector incorporates an ampoule aseptically filled with a medication that is coupled to a hermetically sealed component system. The hermetically sealed component system incorporates various mechanisms that are actuated during the use of the injection device. The injection device is encased in a removable overtube that prevents contamination. upon removal of the overtube, the injection device is activated, by compression of a needle cap that irreversible punctures the ampoule in order to inject the medication through a needle. The injection device additionally incorporates a shield that deploys over the needle following injection of the medication into a patient.
