摘要:
A delivery apparatus (100) includes a volatile agent source (104), a controller, and an emanator material (106). The volatile agent source (104) stores a volume of a volatile agent such as a fragrance. The volatile agent source (104) includes an outlet (136) for delivery of the volatile agent from the volatile agent source (104). The controller controls a delivery rate of the volatile agent from the volatile agent source (104). The emanator material (106) is disposed at approximately the outlet (106) of the volatile agent source (104). The emanator material (106) absorbs at least a portion of the volatile agent and maintains the volatile agent until the volatile agent evaporates into an ambient environment.
摘要:
A process for removing sulfur, nitrogen or metals from an oil feedstock (102) (such as heavy oil, bitumen, shale oil, etc.) The method involves reacting the oil (102) feedstock with an alkali metal (108) and a radical capping substance (106). The alkali metal (108) reacts with the metal, sulfur or nitrogen content to form one or more inorganic products and the radical capping substance (106) reacts with the carbon and hydrogen content to form a hydrocarbon phase. The inorganic products may then be separated out from the hydrocarbon phase (116).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the preparation of oxygenated, unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds, such as derivatives of furfural or hydroxymethyl furfural produced by aldol condensation with a ketone or a ketoester, as well as methods of deoxidatively reducing those compounds with hydrogen under acidic conditions to provide saturated hydrocarbons useful as fuels.
摘要:
A cable manager includes a first portion and a second portion that cooperat to retain at least one cable. The first portion of certain types of cable managers is configured to be held in one or more rotationally fixed positions relative to the second portion. For example, the second portion may include at least one retaining arm that extends at least partially over a cable cradle of the first portion when the second portion is rotated to a closed position and that allows access to the cable cradle when rotated to an open position. The first portion of certain types of cable managers is configured to be held in one of a plurality of axially fixed positions relative to the second portion to accommodate cables of different diameters.
摘要:
A patch cord including a connector attached to an end of an electrical cable. The connector includes a single-piece attachment member having a management section, a boot, and collar including a retention arrangement. Certain types of retention arrangements include one or more teeth that protrude inwardly from the collar to bite into at least an outer jacket of the electrical cable.
摘要:
A dermal delivery apparatus includes a pad (3) having a surface to interface with an outer layer of skin. The dermal delivery apparatus also includes a micro structure (1) coupled to the pad (3) and configured to penetrate and deliver an agent beneath the outer layer of skin. The dermal delivery device also includes a base (4) at least partially surrounding the micro structure. The base (4) is coupled to the pad (3) and protrudes away from the surface of the pad (3) to apply surface tension to the skin.
摘要:
The present invention features compositions and methods for the detection or measurement of oxalate in a sample. Such compositions include test devices that provide for the rapid and accurate detection of oxalate in a sample from a biological fluid. Advantageously, the compositions can be used to monitor the oxalate levels of a patient at a point of care (e.g., at the patient's home, clinic, physician's office, or other clinical setting).
摘要:
Described herein is the use of a modified human chemokine, GS-CXCL8 (3- 72) K11 R/G31 P or G31 P in the treatment of a number of cancers, including but by no means limited to prostate cancer, liver cancer and melanoma.
摘要:
A nickel-metal hydride (hydrogen) hybrid storage battery comprising a positive electrode containing nickel hydroxide, a combination negative electrode containing a hydrogen storage alloy electrode and a reversible hydrogen electrode, an alkaline electrolyte, and an alkali conducting separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The alkali conducting separator may be a substantially non-porous ion conducting material wherein the alkali conducted is Na, K, or Li. A method of charging and discharging such a hybrid battery is also disclosed.
