The disclosure relates to forming shaped thermoplastic articles having smooth peripheries. Many thermoplastic articles have sharp edges formed upon molding or cutting the article from a feedstock sheet. Such sharp edges can damage thin plastic films or flesh which they contact, and smoothing the edges is desirable. Described herein are methods of forming a smooth periphery for such sharp-edged articles by rolling over the sharp edge. The smoothing operation is performed by forming a deflectable flange including a bend region separated from the potentially sharp peripheral edge by a spacer, deflecting a portion of the deflectable flange, and softening at least one bent portion of the deflectable flange to yield a smooth periphery upon cooling.

A process includes distilling a refinery alkylate in a first distillation unit to form an alkylate stream containing a C5 to C9 fraction and a bottoms stream containing a C9+ fraction. The process includes distilling the bottoms stream in a second distillation unit to form a stream containing C9+ isoparaffins and a second bottoms stream. Products containing C9+ isoparaffins may be formed with the process. The products may be solvents, adhesives, inks, fluids, lubricants, or compositions. A system includes a first distillation unit, and a second distillation unit downstream of and in fluid communication with the first distillation unit.
摘要:
A method for performing a multiplexed diagnostic assay, such as for two or more different targets in a sample, is described. One embodiment comprised contacting the sample with two or more specific binding moieties that bind specifically to two or more different targets. The two or more specific binding moieties are conjugated to different haptens, and at least one of the haptens is an oxazole, a pyrazole, a thiazole, a nitroaryl compound other than dinitrophenyl, a benzofurazan, a triterpene, a urea, a thiourea, a rotenoid, a coumarin, a cyclolignan, a heterobiaryl, an azo aryl, or a benzodiazepine. The sample is contacted with two or more different anti-hapten antibodies that can be detected separately. The two or more different anti-hapten antibodies may be conjugated to different detectable labels. In particular, in this invention the haptens are a thiazole sulfonamide or a benzofurazan. The linker in the conjugate is a polymer comprising 1 to 15 ethylene glycol units. A kit with a hapten and anti-hapten antibody is also described.

A tissue sample receptacle includes a fulcrum body. The fulcrum body is positioned to allow a tissue sample collector to be broken off within the tissue sample receptacle. The fulcrum body provides a fulcrum against which the tissue sample collector may be bent. The fulcrum body may be coupled to the sidewall of the tissue sample receptacle. The fulcrum body may be removable from, may be permanently coupled to, or may be formed integrally with the sidewall.
