Abstract: A wheeled leveling device is provided that includes a cabinet bracket, a whe el assembly (16), and an adjustment screw (36). The cabinet bracket (26) includ es a pair of slots that include detent portions (32). The wheel assembly includ es a roller rotatably secured to a wheel assembly bracket. A pair of rockers secured to the wheel assembly bracket slide into and engage with the slots o f the cabinet bracket. The rockers pivot about the detent portions of the slot s (28) such that the wheel assembly does not disengage. The adjustment screw passes through a hole in the cabinet bracket and a hole in the wheel assembl y bracket and engages with a threaded fastener secured to the wheel assembly bracket. Turning the adjustment screw causes the wheel assembly to pivot abo ut the detent portions of the slots of the cabinet bracket, thereby raising or lowering the roller and hence altering the height of the appliance.

Abstract: A surface coating composition for providing a self-assembling monolayer, in stable form, on a material surface or at a suitable interface, as well as a method of preparing such a composition and a method of using such a composition to coat a surface, such as the surface of an implantable medical device, in order to provide the surface with desirable properties. The method provides the covalent attachment of a SAM to a surface in a manner that substantially retains or improves the characteristics and/or performance of both the SAM and the surface itself. Covalent attachment is accomplished by the use of one or more latent reactive groups, e.g., provided by either the surface and/or by the SAM-forming molecules themselves.

Granted: 2013-08-13
Abstract: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism or to treat a particular condition. A dip coating process is utilized to minimize waste. An aqueous latex polymeric emulsion is utilized to coat any medical device to a desired thickness by allowing for successive dipping and drying cycles. In addition, aqueous latex polymeric emulsions pose less of a chance of the bridging phenomenon associated with organic solvent based polymers.

Title: Alcohol beverage dispensing apparatus

Granted: 2014-11-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a conduit for conducting gasified liquid, which has a flow restrictor arranged in in-line relation therewith. The restrictor itself comprises an at least one aperture (although two or more can be used in series), with each such being adapted to pass the gasified liquid flowing through the conduit and across a pressure drop from a higher-pressure upstream side of the aperture to a lower-pressure downstream side of the aperture. The aperture is operable to moderate the rate of change in pressure over a transitional pressure drop to mitigate the formation of localized pressures below a critical pressure at which off-gassing from the carbonated liquid results in substantial foam formation. The conduit may take the form of a dispensing tube for use in dispensing an alcoholic beverage from a keg, the tube having a flexible wall deformable under the influence of a restricting actuator to control the partial collapse of the wall and thereby form the restrictor. The tube or flow diameter downstream of the restrictor only gradually or slowly increases.

Abstract: A container is provided for cell growth by artificial cultivation of selected biological material in a growth media for use in an oscillating incubator. The container has a circular bottom with rounded corners joining a sidewall that is inclined at an angle toward a longitudinal axis of the container to define a container volume. The bottom has six equally spaced baffles extending inward from the corners and upward toward a large diameter opening of the container centered on the longitudinal axis. The baffles have a triangular cross-sectional shape with an included angle of about 28-40°, and a height measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of about 15-25% of the usable container volume. The baffles end before the longitudinal axis. The container and baffles are blow molded from a polymer suitable for blow molding. An air permeable filter is placed over the container opening, with the filter having an adhesive on one side to stick to the container. A finger tab on the periphery of the filter helps to position and remove the filter. A growth media is placed in the container along with a biological material to be cultured and rotated from about 250RPM to 450RPM depending on the volume of the material and the container. The growth media comprises MgBr2, CuBr2, FeBr2, Tris, Tris-HBr, Tris-acetate, or Tris-HCl, KBr, adenine, palmitic acid, glycerol or D-(+)-glucose, or both, ATP, Protein Hydrolysate Amicase or other casamino acids, yeast or yeast extract, tryptone peptone, anti-foam and de-ionized water.
