Abstract: This disclosure concerns affixing various seeds, such as grass seeds, to surfaces or cavities of specially manufactured fertilizer carriers formed into various shapes, e.g. star cross-sections, tri-lobe or multi-lobe profiles, or cup-like or similar cavity-containing shapes. This shape and the manner of manufacturing of the fertilizer provides grooves and cavities or areas to which the seed can be affixed to the fertilizer and protected against damage during shipping and handling. The fertilizer carrier also acts as a nutrient source for the seed while the seed is most vulnerable, i.e. during its emergence from the seed coat and the first few days after emergence. In an alternative construction, a carrier matrix formed of an organic polymer or proteinaceous compound is coated with seeds or other edible fragments to provide a food for birds.

Abstract: An operational amplifier arrangement includes besides the two-stage operational amplifier, a third stage for tracking and holding the input offset of the first stage during an offset compensation phase which regularly interrupts the normal operation of the arrangement. To this purpose four switches are clocked, whereby the first stage is decoupled from the second stage during an offset compensation phase, whereby the feedback loop of the third stage is interrupted during normal mode, and whereby during the offset compensation phase the input is decoupled from the arrangement, while both input terminals are shorted. A Miller capacitor across the second stage prevents the output from drifting during the offset compensation mode. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A barrier aerosol vessel containing a wound gel for the treatment ol wounds. Wound gels packaged in this way have many advantages. Firstly, because there is positive pressure in the container, the vessel can be made to be self-sealing. This aids maintenance of product sterility. Secondly, it is possible to uise an aerosol using only one hand which makes application of the gel to the wound particularly easy. In the case of sinus wounds, where there is undermining of the tissue beneath the wound site and beyond its surface periphery, it is possible to insert the nozzle through the sinus to fill the cavity with gel. Thirdly, since the propellent is not mixed with the gel, the physical and chemical properties of the gel are not aflected by being dispensed in this manner.

Abstract: A manufacturing method is provided for the production of high density, high carbon, sintered powder metal steels. The composition consists of iron based powder, graphite, lubricant, and possibly at least one alloying element from the group of chromium, copper, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, niobium or vanadium. The composition is compacted in rigid tools, sintered and during cooling an isothermal or slow cooling treatment is introduced between 650 DEG  C. and 750 DEG  C. The isothermal or slow cooling treatment may alternatively be applied during a heat treatment cycle that is carried out after a conventional sintering cycle. The material processed as described may then be formed to high density. Forming to high density is not practical with high carbon materials that have been processed by conventional methods. The high density article is then heat treated in a manner to suit specific product requirements. The mechanical properties achieved by the claimed process offer significant benefits when compared to conventionally processed sintered powder metal articles.

Abstract: A process and apparatus in which cryoprotectant in cryopreserved samples is removed with the use of turbulence and convective-dispersion around the cells within the primary cryopreservation container. Convective-dispersion is applied via the combined action of gravity and pulsatile transmembrane flow of buffer through the pores of containers fabricated from appropriate membrane material such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,026,342 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,261,870, as incorporated herein by reference above. By using mechanical forces to aid the process of cryoprotectant removal, the benefits of slow cryoprotectant removal are retained while the actual removal time is markedly decreased.

Abstract: Oligonucleotides and other biomolecules are immobilized in high density on solid substrates through covalent forces using either a permanent thioether bond, or a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond to a surface thiol. Substrates which have hydroxyl groups on their surfaces can be first silanized with a trichlorosilane containing 2-20 carbon atoms in its hydrocarbon backbone, terminating in a protected thiol group. The oligonucleotides or other biomolecules are first connected to a tether consisting of a hydrocarbon or polyether chain of 2-20 units in length which terminates in a thiol group. This thiol may be further modified with a halobenzylic-bifunctional water soluble reagent which allows the conjugate to be immobilized onto the surface thiol group by a permanent thioether bond. Alternatively, the oligonucleotide-tether-thiol group can be converted to a pyridyldisulfide functionality which attaches to the surface thiol by a chemoselectively reversible disulfide bond. The permanently bound oligonucleotides are immobilized in high density compared to other types of thiol functionalized silane surfaces and to the avidin-biotin method.
