The object of invention is an animal cage litter composition, especially suitable for cats, in the form of compacted and/or ground down sunflower hulls, in the amount from 1% to 100%, preferably 100%, with addition of the known binder, in the amount from 0% to 50%, and/or the known filler, in the amount from 0% to 80%, in the total mass of compacted sunflower hulls.
摘要:
A gas pressurized separation system strips a product gas from a stream yielding a high pressure gaseous effluent containing the product gas such as may be used to capture CO2 from coal fired post combustion flue gas capture and to purify natural gas, syngas and EOR recycle gas. The system comprises a gas pressurized stripping column allowing flow of one or more raw streams in a first direction and allowing flow of one or more high pressure gas streams in a second direction, to strip the product gas into the high pressure gas stream and yield a high pressure gaseous effluent that contains the product gas. The process can further comprise a final separation process to further purify the product gas from the GPS column. For CO2 product, a preferred energy efficient final separation process, compound compression and refrigeration process, is also introduced.
摘要:
A device for mitigating plantar fasciitis that includes a truss structure, an upper anchor, and an actuator. The upper anchor is proximally located from the truss structure and the actuator couples a posterior portion of the truss structure to a posterior portion of the upper anchor. The actuator is designed to provide assistive force to urge heel lift during ambulation such that the tension in the plantar fascia is reduced.

An electrosurgical device can have a housing and an electrode defining an energizable surface at least partially positioned externally of the housing. Such a device can have a first circuit and a second circuit. The housing can define a handpiece. The first circuit can be configured to selectively direct energy to a power element. The power element can be configured to selectively electrically couple to the electrode. The second circuit can have a selectively operable handpiece accessory. The handpiece can also have a device configured to direct suitable energy from the first circuit to the second circuit to power the second circuit. In some embodiments, the second circuit can be configured to selectively interrupt the first circuit. For example, the second circuit can interrupt the first circuit when a cumulative duration of operation of the second circuit exceeds an upper threshold duration. Methods of operating such handpieces are also disclosed.

A liner for passage of a duct or conduit through a fire retaining wall or partition comprising a polygonal body having a plurality of side walls of a fire-resistant or fire retardant sheet material, defining a passage through the volume enclosed by the side walls.
摘要:
An electrolyte sensor that uses conductive elastomer electrodes. Examples of the intended analytes for sensor use include those found in urine, saliva, blood, feces and spinal fluid, although other analytes exist for electrolyte detection. Conductive elastomer trace electrodes are separated by a gap or channel which can be bridged by an electrolyte and thereby complete an electrical circuit to an alarm or other circuitry. Gap or channel distances vary the level of electrical resistance associated with detecting certain analytes.

The invention relates to a lens mounting assembly (10) for positioning a lens relative to an image sensor (14). The lens mounting assembly (10) has a lens barrel (20) for holding a first lens assembly and a lens mounting (12) having an image sensor (14) mounted thereon. The lens barrel (20) and lens mounting (12) are provided with a mating connection which allows the first lens assembly to be moved along an optical axis in order to adjust its focus on the image sensor (14). A second lens assembly (26) for adjusting the focus on the image sensor (14) during use of the lens is also provided. An alignment projection 28 is provided on at least one of the first or second lens assemblies in order to mate with a portion of the other of the first or second lens assemblies to allow direct optical alignment of the first and second lens assemblies with the image sensor (14). A method of positioning a lens or lens assembly relative to an image sensor (14) is also provided.

The invention relates to a card assembly for displaying multiple rows of greeting cards. The apparatus has a display section (12) with a back piece (26), one or more rows (20), and one or more front walls (22), wherein a greeting card may be placed on a row (20) and a portion of the greeting card can be viewed over the front wall (22). The apparatus also has a convertible row (28) having a front divider (30) and a bottom divider (32) which are attached at a joint (34). The joint (34) allows the convertible row (28) to be moved between a display position (where the front divider (30) is pulled out away from the display section (12) such that the bottom divider (32) is perpendicular to the back piece (26) to allow for a greeting card to be displayed thereon) and a storage position (where the front divider (30) is pushed toward the back piece such that the bottom divider (32) is set against the back piece (26)). A divider clip (36) that clips on the front wall (22) of the display section (12) is also provided.
