Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed involving coils. For example, energy may be transferred between transmitting and receiving coils. The transmitting coil may be in a first device, while the receiving coil may be in a second device. In embodiments, the transmitting coil may be shaped in a way as to direct a magnetic field toward a receiving device. Similarly, the receiving device may be shaped in a way that is directed towards the device having the transmitting coil.
Abstract:
An interfolder separator apparatus and method utilize a pair of count fingers that are movable longitudinally along and transversely to a stream of folded sheets, for temporarily supporting each successive pack formed by the separator and then releasing each successive pack when partly completed to alternating build fingers, so that the operation of separating successive packs from one another is performed separately from the operations of completing the build of each pack and transporting the completed packs to downstream operations. The count fingers may be mounted to pivot about axes that are movable longitudinally along and transversely to the stream of sheets. A first or last panel of the completed pack may also be folded back partly upon itself, after the partly completed pack is released by the count fingers. Some or all of the fingers may be spring loaded and automatically resettable for clearing jams.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to cell lines and uses of cell lines that express Wingless [Wnt] or homologues thereof; methods to amplify retinal progenitor cells; and differentiation of said progenitor cells into retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Abstract:
A cuvette assembly (1) comprising a plurality of cuvettes (5) releasably and sealably secured to a carrier strip (2) for facilitating peeling of the carrier strip (2) from the cuvettes (5) when the cuvette assembly (1) is subsequently fed into a suitable analytical apparatus. The cuvettes (5) each comprise a pair of support tabs 20 which extend transversely of the carrier strip (2). The support tabs (20) define respective upwardly facing uninterrupted major planar surfaces (22) which lie in a common plane, and are suitable for engagement by vacuum pads of a vacuum transfer mechanism in such analytical apparatus for transferring the cuvettes (5) within the analytical apparatus. The cuvettes (5) are of polypropylene material, and a recess (25) in each cuvette (5) accommodates the carrier strip (2). The carrier strip (2) is formed of a laminate comprising a polyester carrier layer (28) and a polypropylene securing layer (29) for abutting an abutment surface (24) in the recess (25) of the respective cuvettes (5) for facilitating thermo-welding of the carrier strip (2) to the cuvettes (5) so that the carrier strip (2) is subsequently peelable from the cuvettes (5).
Abstract:
We describe a polypeptide conjugate wherein the conjugate comprises a ligand binding moiety fused to a HLA G molecule, or part thereof, and including oligomers and dimers of said conjugate and also including transgenic cells expressing HLA G.
Abstract:
Described herein are techniques related to near field coupling (e.g., wireless power transfers (WPF) and near field communications (NFC)) operations among others. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
Abstract:
A dispenser having a faceplate that can be removed and attached to the housing of the dispenser without the use of tools. The dispenser may have a track system. The track system may be positioned in or removed from the dispenser without the use of any tools. The dispenser, including the housing and/or the track system, may be curved. The faceplate may be angled away from the surface upon which the dispenser is positioned. The faceplate may also be curved away from the housing to form an interior surface in the faceplate. The interior may have features for desired dispensing characteristics.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for folding over a portion of at least one top sheet of a stack of interfolded sheets. The foldover apparatus includes a conveyor adapted to move the stack in the downstream direction, a vacuum assembly adapted to separate at least a portion of the at least one top sheet from the remainder of the stack, and a forming plow to fold over the portion of the at least one top sheet. The method includes moving the stack of sheets downstream along a path, separating the portion of the at least one top sheet from the remaining portion of the stack of interfolded sheets, moving the portion of the at least one top sheet adjacent a forming plow, moving the portion of the at least one top sheet along the folding plow, and folding over the portion of the at least one top sheet.
