Abstract:
An article holder for a barrel cooler has a lip for fitting on the top end of the barrel sidewall and a tray attached to the lip for holding containers which indicate the contents of the barrel.
Abstract:
It is related to a liquid container, which may be in the shape of a bottle with an elongated section at its top in a first position and is convertible to a glass or goblet in a second position with the elongated section at the bottom. The liquid container may be a wine container, which can be a wine bottle in its first position and also be a wine glass in its second position. Conversion between the first and second positions can be achieved via a relatively simple and instant way, such as turning a container in one position upside down and placing the container in another position. Such conversion may not need additional process such as disassembling and/or reassembling the container.
Abstract:
A method and device for discharging an electrical defibrillation pulse or an electrical demand pacer pulse or delivering at least one pharmaceutical agent to treat conditions such as cardiac arrest bradycardia, arrhythmia, cardiac standstill, PEA, EMD and other heart conditions are disclosed. The pharmaceutical agent can be delivered into the heart tissue, the heart cavity. or the peritoneal cavity. The pharmaceutical agent can also include analgesics such as morphine. Also included are pharmaceutical agents used to increase myocardial contractility or inhibit platelet aggregation and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and thyroid hormones such as T3 and T4 can he delivered. A method for the treatment of cardiac arrest or pulmonary hypenension patients by administering a therapeutically effective amount of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide is also encompassed by the invention.
Abstract:
A pallet has a base member with a top surface defining first and second spaced apart openings near an edge of the top surface. Hollow legs extend downwardly from the bottom surface of the pallet and define a passageway below the bottom surface. Each hollow leg is a wheel well wherein a wheel is fastened to the base member. Each wheel inside its associated hollow leg extends downwardly from the base member to an elevation below the associated leg so that the wheel is free to support and move the base member. An inverted U-shaped handle has its bottom ends removably inserted in the first and second openings. Flanges attached to the bottom end portions of first and second upright members rest on the top surface of the pallet when the upright members are inserted.
Abstract:
A device and method for a self contained solid phase immunodiffusion assay. The device is comprised of a sample collector, and a pre-fabricated laminate which can be used in many different forms. For example, the same collector and laminate can be used with a tube having compartmentalized reagents. The seals can be broken through pressure on the sample collector. The sample collector is pushed through the seals, mixed with reagent, and then pushed into a ligand receptor reaction area which is part of the laminate. The tip of the sample collector contacts diffusable or porous membranes or filters and transfers the reactants to a capture membrane wherein a ligand receptor reaction can be examined by the naked eye or otherwise.
Abstract:
A sandwich immunoassay method is disclosed that is useful for the identification of an antigen in biological specimens. The method is comprised of a colloidal gold labeled binder specific for epitopes or receptors of a ligand, nonporous particulate solid phase which have antiligand covalently attached, and which said reagents are combined with the biological specimen or an extract of the biological specimen, and after an appropriate incubation, the said reactant mixture is contacted to a porous film having an exposed surface area of contact no greater than 30 mm.sup.2 to separate and concentrate the particle bound colloidal gold labeled binder from the unbound. The identification of an antigen is determined by the presence of color on the surface of the solid phase particles captured on the surface of the film. A competitive inhibition assay can be also used to identify the presence of a hapten or antigen, in which case the presence of the analyte is determined by the absence of color.
Abstract:
There is provided a solutions systems for modeling complex hydraulic and mechanical-hydraulic activities, including methods for obtaining and implementing augmented hydraulic fracturing and reservoir management of hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
A product display system includes a hanger support member and one or more product hangers. The hanger support member includes a web having opposite first and second sides. The web has a corrugated profile defining a plurality of channels. A plurality of receiving apertures extend through the web from the first side to the second side and define at least one row of receiving apertures extending across the channels. A first product hanger may be mounted to the first side of the web through the row of receiving apertures and a second product hanger may be mounted to the second side of the web through the row of receiving apertures. The hanger support member may be arranged for use with standard pegboard hooks.
Abstract:
A product display system includes a hanger support member and one or more product hangers. The hanger support member includes a web having opposite first and second sides. A plurality of receiving apertures extend through the web from the first side to the second side. Each product hanger includes body having an outboard side opposite an inboard side, a product support member extending from the outboard side of the body, and one or more brackets extending from the inboard side for mounting in the receiving apertures. The brackets and the receiving apertures are arranged such that one product hanger may be secured to the first side of the web and a second product hanger may be secured to the second side of the web, wherein the second product hanger is aligned directly opposite the first product hanger.
