Abstract: A clam bucket of the present invention has a first and a second bucket halves, each bucket half includes a first and a second side wall, a bucket back wall, and a bucket connecting plate. At least a portion of each of the two side walls is made of a side wall screen. The bucket back wall is rigidly connected between the first and the second side walls and extends from the bucket top edge to the bucket digging edge. At least a portion of the bucket back wall is composed of a back wall screen. The side wall and back wall screens should be positioned so as to allow padding material to pass through the screen but prohibit the passage of stones through the screen. The bucket connecting plate is rigidly connected to the outside of the bucket back wall and positioned between the first side wall and the second side wall so that connection to a backhoe can be made. A bucket actuating hydraulic cylinder connection collar is also positioned on the bucket connecting plate so that a bucket actuating hydraulic cylinder, which is used to open and closet the two halves in a clam shell like manner, may be pivotably connected to each bucket connecting plate. It is preferred that the bucket connecting plate of at least one of the bucket halves further include a bucket positioning arm having a bucket positioning arm collar. The bucket positioning arm is rigidly connected to the bucket connecting plate so as to permit the connecting of the bucket connecting plate to a crown boom hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: A process for the separation and liquefaction of component gasses from a pressurized mix gas stream is disclosed. The process involves cooling the pressuized mixed gas stream in a heat exchanger so as to condense one or more of the gas components having the highest condensation point; separating the condensed components from the remaining mixed gas stream in a gas-liquid separator, cooling the separated condensed component stream by passing it through an expander, and passing the cooled component stream back through the heat exchanger such that the cooled component stream functions as the refrigerant for the heat exchanger. The cycle is then repeated for the remaining mixed gas stream so as to draw off the next component gas and further cool the remaining mixed gas stream. The process continues until all of the component gases are separated from the desired gas stream. The final gas stream is then passed through a final heat exchanger and expander. The expander decreases the pressure on the gas stream, thereby cooling the stream and causing a portion of the gas stream to liquify within a tank. The portion of the gas which is not liquified is passed back through each of the heat exchangers where it functions as a refrigerant.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de détecter directement un fragment d'acide nucléique cible à partir d'un spécimen prélevé sur un patient par hybridation in situ. Ce procédé consiste dans la séquence d'opérations suivante. Un échantillon de spécimen est déposé sur une plaquette. Cet échantillon est fixé sur la plaquette au moyen d'un fixateur renfermant soit du méthanol-acide acétique, soit du formaldéhyde-acide acétique, dans les deux cas selon un rapport compris entre 99:1 et 80:20. Les acides nucléiques de l'échantillon sont mis en contact avec une sonde complexe spécifique du fragment d'acide nucléique dans des conditions d'hybridation convenables. Le complexe sonde non hybride est séparé de l'échantillon par rinçage. Après rinçage, l'échantillon est coloré au bleu d'Evans. Lorsque le complexe de sonde hybride est détecté visuellement au microscope, cela signifie que l'on se trouve en présence du fragment d'acide nucléique cible. Ce procédé peut être appliqué avec différents tampons d'hybridation, dont plusieurs font l'objet de la présente invention. Le procédé selon l'invention est utile pour la détection d'agents pathogènes de l'espèce Babesia. Il convient pour la détection d'acides nucléiques dans des spécimens nombreux et variés tels que sérum, plasma, crachat, urine, liquide céphalorachidien, tissus, lait maternel et insectes comme les tiques.

Title: Compositions for rapid and non-irritating transdermal delivery of pharmaceutically active agents and methods for formulating such compositions and delivery thereof

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for the transdermal administration of a medicame nt or other active agent by topical application or the composition to the skin of humans or other animals are described. Methodolog y for formulating such compositions which provide for very rapid uptake of the medicament and transmigration into and through the skin to either fatty tissues or the vascular system, while minimizing irritation to the skin and/or immunological response, is based on a transdermal delivery system (TDS) wherein the medicament is modified to form a true solution in a complex formed from particular solvents and solvent and solute modifiers in combination with skin stabilizers. Uptake of the medicament is further facilitated and made more rapid by including Forskolin or other source of cellular energy, namely induction of cAMP or cGMP. Selection of specific solvents and solvent and solute modifiers and other functional ingredients and the amounts thereof are chosen such that there is a balance between the sum of the mole-moments [(molar amount of each individual ingredient) X (dipole moment of that ingredient)] of the delivery system and the sum of the molar moments of the composition in which the medicament is dissolved. Preferably, the van der Waals forces of the delivery system is also similarly matched to the van der Waals forces of the total composition, namely, delivery system plus active agent.< /SDOAB>

Abstract: There is provided a brassiere made of a stretchable material for comfort. Each breast cup has a breast receiving portion with an inner layer and an outer layer, and a support panel portion with the inner and outer layers and a breast supporting panel between the inner and outer layers. The breast supporting panel is substantially inelastic in all directions and, preferably, forms an arcuate edge for supporting the breast. Thus, the entire brassiere stretches and moves with the wearer, while each non-elastic breast supporting panel provides the desired breast support. The bottom edge of the breast supporting panel is spaced from the bottom edge of the brassiere. Decreasing the length of the breast supporting panel so that its bottom edge does not contact the bottom edge of the brassiere allows the bottom periphery of the brassiere to have additional flex that improves the overall comfort of the brassiere. Preferably, the bottom edge of the brassiere is turned to form the waistband of the brassiere
