摘要:
A method and apparatus for characterizing the type of a blood sample and a variety of blood components are provided wherein a transmission spectrum of the sample is collected over a predetermined wavelength range. For blood typing, this spectrum is then compared with a set of control spectra collected from control blood samples having known blood types, from which the type of the blood sample can be determined. Further methods and apparatus are provided for determining the viability of and for cross matching a platelet unit. Additional method and apparatus permit analysis of the sample for the presence of a contaminant. Particles can also be counted in the sample, even when present in low concentrations, including white blood cell.

A make-up remover which has high efficacy yet low greasiness, contains a combination of two make-up removal ingredients: (i) mineral oil and/or wax and (ii) isoparaffin, wherein the second ingredient (ii) boosts the make-up removal capacity of the first ingredient, thus allowing to decrease the level of mineral oil and/or wax in the composition, which in turn results in decreased greasiness of the composition.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for the characterization of a sample containing a macromolecule in solution. A light source illuminates the sample, generally in the ultraviolet-visible wavelength range, and a plurality of sensors that are radially disposed about the sample at a plurality of observation angles simultaneously sense the light energy emerging from the sample. An intensity spectrum is calculated as a function of wavelength for each observation angle, from which is calculated a particle characteristic such as shape, conformational change, composition, and particle size distribution. Both scattering and absorption data are utilized to provide complementary information.

A laundry product is provided including a liquid concentrated detergent or fabric softening composition held in a dispensing bottle of a type not featuring a through-apertured gripping handle. The bottle includes a body having an open end terminating in a circular neck, first and second plane traversing a length of the bottle body with each bisecting the neck, the first and second planes being orthogonally oriented to one another, the first plane dividing front and rear major faces of the body into asymmetric first and second areas. A shrink sleeve is fitted over the body from a base of the neck down toward the closed end. A removable cap is fittable over the neck.

A GPS receiver circuit (300) for reducing insertion loss. The receiver circuit (300) includes a switch (304) for diverting input signals between a filtered pathway (312) and a short circuit pathway (310) to an amplifier (314). The amplifier (314) output feeds an automatic gain controller (316) that senses a noise level in the output of the amplifier (314) and adjusts a gain of the amplifier (314) in response to the noise level. The receiver circuit (300) also includes a threshold detector (306) with an input coupled to the output of the automatic gain controller (316) and an output coupled to the switch (304) for selecting between the filtered pathway (312) and the short circuit pathway (310), thereby removing the filter (312) from the signal path if not needed.
