Abstract:
A grow plant enclosure to maximize plant density for a given growing area has a perimeter frame, a first pane, and a second pane. The first pane is adjacently connected to the perimeter frame, while the second pane is removably attached to the perimeter frame opposite the first pane to form a hollow enclosure. A plurality of plug holder openings traverses through the first pane, and optionally the second pane, being designed to receive a plurality of plant holders for growing various plant types. A plurality of supply tubes traverse into the perimeter frame through a plurality of supply tube openings and each have a plurality of spray nozzles to deliver nutrient solution to the root zone of the plants retained in the plurality of plant holders. Excess nutrient solution is released through a drain fixture positioned about the bottom of the perimeter frame.
Abstract:
The present teachings provide a fuser member. The fuser member includes a substrate layer comprising a polyamideimide/polybenzimidazole polymer blend. A method of manufacturing the fuser member is described.
Abstract:
This invention describes soluble, monovalent, non-natural protein molecules that can activate NK cells and certain T-cells to attack specific cellular target cells by attaching the NKG2D-binding portions of monovalent MICA or MICB protein, i.e. their α1-α2 platform domain, to the intended target cell specifically. The α1-α2 domain is contiguous with a heterologous α3 domain that has been genetically modified to bind directly or indirectly to the extracellular aspect of the target cell, thereby serving as the targeting domain. The genetic modification to create a non-natural and non-terminal targeting motif within the α3 domain can include a portion of an antibody, another protein molecule or portion thereof, a peptide, or a non-natural, modified α3 domain of a MIC protein.
Abstract:
An intermediate transfer belt for an electrostatographic device and methods for making the intermediate transfer belt can include the use of polyamide-imide and carbon nanotubes and nanosheets, for example multi-walled carbon nanotubes, single-walled carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, and two or more of these as an electrically conductive filler.
Abstract:
There is described an intermediate transfer member comprising a seamless layer comprising a polyphenylsulfone and a polysiloxane having dispersed therein carbon black particles. The composition used to manufacture the seamless intermediate transfer member is also described.
Abstract:
An intermediate transfer member substrate with an overcoat and a process for preparing the intermediate transfer member substrate with an overcoat layer by application of corona treatment to the surface of the intermediate transfer member substrate to enhance the interfacial adhesion between the overcoat and intermediate transfer member substrate.
Abstract:
An intermediate transfer member, such as a belt, that includes, for example, a supporting substrate, a silane first intermediate layer, and contained on the silane layer a second layer of a self crosslinking acrylic resin; a mixture of a glycoluril resin and an acrylic polyol resin; or a mixture of a glycoluril resin and a self crosslinking acrylic resin.
Abstract:
A dual layered intermediate transfer member, such as a belt, that includes a substrate that is coated with a layer of a mixture of a glycoluril resin, and a self crosslinking acrylic resin.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the diversification of nucleic acid sequences by use of a nucleic acid molecule containing a region of sequence that acts as a template for diversification. The invention thus provides nucleic acid molecules to be diversified, as well as those which act as the template region (TR) and in concert with the TR for directional, site-specific diversification. Further provided are methods of preparing and using these nucleic acid sequences.
