A receiver member is provided suitable for having an ultra-gloss, image print formed thereon, the receiver member having at least one planar surface, a plurality of standoffs protruding from the planar surface, the plurality of standoffs providing a coefficient of friction for the planar surface for substantially preventing similar stacked receiver members from sticking together, and without adversely affecting any print image thereon. A member is provided for creating a contour on the receiver member. The member includes a surface contoured to exhibit a plurality of valleys which will not adversely impact print image quality, wherein a reciprocal peaked contour is formed on the receiver member.

The application relates to a device and method for preparing and testing a fluid sample using a filtration procedure for analysis of a filterable constituent of the fluid. In particular the process employs an enclosed pathway whereby the fluid sample may be put into a sealable flexible containment-vessel, and can then be passed through a fluid passageway to a removable enclosable filter cartridge, wherein the filterable constituent may be removed and the resultant filtrate fluid discharged from the cartridge. Once introduced to the flexible vessel, the enclosed pathway system thereby enables the fluid to be filtered and the filterable constituent examined with minimal complications of contamination of the sample through exposure to environmental pollutant external to the fluid sample.A useful objective of the device and method is to enable analyses of microbiological content of a fluid sample.The application further relates to a means of conducting the filtration of a fluid sample without necessarily requiring a pump or vacuum equipment to express or aspirate the fluid from the flexible containment vessel through the filter cartridge.

Vented precipitation guarding manhole cover assemblies include a manhole cover having a manhole cover protrusion. The manhole cover protrusion has a protrusion edge, a protrusion surface contiguous with and extending from the protrusion edge and a protrusion apex contiguous with the protrusion surface. A manhole cover vent opening extends through the manhole cover protrusion and the manhole cover.

The present disclosure provides injectable synthetic and biodegradable polymeric biomaterials that effectively prevent seroma, a common postoperative complication following ablative and reconstructive surgeries. Provided biomaterials include physically crosslinked hydrogels that are thixotropic, display rapid chain relaxation, are easily extruded through narrow gauge needles, biodegrade into inert products, are well tolerated by soft tissues, and effectively prevent seroma in a radical breast mastectomy animal model.

Particular aspects provide novel devices and methods for accurately measuring total ammonia (NH3 plus NH4+) in a solution (e.g., freshwater and saltwater) by spatially proximate, simultaneous and continuous quantitative measurement of solution pH and ammonia. The devices overcome prior art inaccuracies relating to non-homogeneous sampling, and to spatial, temporal and thermal sampling discontinuities. Particular embodiments provide a combination pH and ammonia measuring device, comprising: a submersible member; a submersible non-bleeding ammonia-sensing portion attached to the submersible member and suitable to provide for a continuous visual indicator of solution ammonia concentration; a submersible non-bleeding pH-sensing portion attached to the submersible member and suitable to provide for a continuous visual indicator of solution pH; visual ammonia and pH indicator comparison means suitable for comparative quantitative determination of solution ammonia concentration and pH. Additional aspects provide novel ultra-sensitive devices and methods using same for measuring ammonia in air or solution.
摘要:
Poly(β-amino esters) prepared from the conjugate addition of bis(secondary amines) or primary amines to a bis(acrylate ester) are described. Methods of preparing these polymers from commercially available starting materials are also provided. These tertiary amine-containing polymers are preferably biodegradable and biocompatible and may be used in a variety of drug delivery systems. Given the poly(amine) nature of these polymers, they are particularly suited for the delivery of polynucleotides. Nanoparticles containing polymer/polynucleotide complexes have been prepared. The inventive polymers may also be used to encapsulate other agents to be delivered. They are particularly useful in delivering labile agents given their ability to buffer the pH of their surroundings.
摘要:
A method for formulation of high supercoiled DNA content microspheres is described herein. A primary emulsion is formed which optionally contains a DNA nicking inhibitor in addition to DNA with or without buffer. The temperature of the primary emulsion is lowered below the freezing point of the aqueous inner phase which provides increased encapsulation efficiency by decreasing the rate of diffusion of DNA out of the aqueous phase. Thereafter, the primary emulsion is transferred to a water-based surfactant solution and subjected to homogenization to form a secondary microsphere emulsion. The organic phase is removed and the microspheres hardened which are then isolated, frozen and lyophilized.
