摘要： A display stand, including a flexible and/or segmented blank of material having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter there between, wherein selected portions of the blank include an adhesive, and preferably a cohesive, selectively applied to areas of the blank to create attachment zones. The attachment zones may be established on selected portions of the first surface, on the entire area of the first surface, or on areas in addition to the first surface. In preferred embodiments, attachment zones are established at opposing ends of the material wherein a self-sustaining display having depth can be achieved by contacting the two attachment zones. Graphics or indicia can be imprinted on the blank of material to further increase the utility of the display stand.

摘要： The invention is directed to columns, trays and systems including columns and trays that enable a user to conveniently and safely transport objects, such as one or more beverage containers, by tension (hanging) as opposed to compression (supporting). Column embodiments of the invention include a substantially elongate column extending from a central portion of a primary tray. Preferably, insertable column embodiments are formed from a pulp slurry and molded into a clam-shell configuration prior to assembly and used with a tray having an aperture and preferably a collar adapted to receive the insertable column. Supporting elements of the column engage a base portion of the tray, thereby providing a distributed support interface. Features of the invention include upper retaining elements to prevent dislodgment of the column from the tray when engaged therewith; a handle at an end opposite to the supporting elements for user grasping; and mid column accessory features such as supports for a secondary tray or tall beverage containers.

摘要： This invention relates to a tube finning machine (10) and to a method of use thereof. Typically, the finned tubes will be for use in heat exchangers. In the present invention, the machine (10) has tensioning means (32, 44) for applying tension to the tubes (16) during the finning process, tension in the tubes reducing the likelihood that the tubes will buckle or deform during the process. Also, the invention discloses the use of a solid material introduced between the fins (22) to support the fins during the finning process, the solid material being removed after completion of the process. The solid material can be a granular material, or it can be a continuous material introduced (and removed) in its liquid state.

摘要： Surfaces coated with a target-induced fluorescent compound are used to detect target elements, especially trace elements. The target-induced fluorescent compound does not fluoresce when excited at a specific wavelength until it has bound a target element. The use of these coated surfaces provides several benefits including reduced background for greater sensitivity and eliminating the need to separate target-induced fluorescent compound that has not bound target element from target-induced fluorescent compound that has bound target element. Coated nanoparticles are especially useful for detection of target elements.
