    Abstract: To disperse inhaling powders, a powder is positioned in a passage of a device for dispersing powders, wherein the passage has one or more exits, one or more inlets and one or more obstructions to block the movement or to contain the powder within the device before use. A breaching pressure differential between the one or more exits and the one or more inlets of the passage is applied to breach the one or more obstructions, which fully or partially aerosolizes the powder, thus releasing a fully or partially aerosolized powder from the device.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to graded thermoelectric materials. In one aspect, a method includes providing a plurality of nanostructures. The plurality of nanostructures comprise a thermoelectric material, with nanostructures of the plurality of nanostructures having first ligands disposed on surfaces of the nanostructures. The plurality of nanostructures is deposited on a substrate to form a layer. The layer is contacted with a solution containing second ligands. A ligand exchange process occurs where some of the first ligands disposed on the plurality of nanostructures are replaced with the second ligands. A first region of the layer is removed from contact with the solution so that the ligand exchange process does not occur in the first region of the layer, with the ligand exchange process occurring in the layer in contact with the solution. The layer is then removed from contact with the solution.

    Abstract: The sink system (10) includes a sink support frame (12) for supporting a sink (24). A vertical adjustment mechanism (30) secured between the sink support frame (12) and a rear wall (32) permits selective vertical movement of the sink support frame (12). A horizontal adjustment mechanism (40) secured between the sink support frame (12) and the sink (24) permits selective horizontal movement of the sink (24) away from and toward the rear wall (32). Flexible cold and hot water delivery lines (44, 46) and a flexible drain pipe (54) are secured between the rear wall (32) and a bottom surface of the sink. Vertical and horizontal movement of the sink (24) greatly facilitates use of the sink (24) by elderly and disabled persons using a wheelchair (56) and/or a walker. A two-sink cabinet embodiment (130) is also disclosed.

    Abstract: The folding side-wall container (10, 62, 66) provides for efficient loading and unloading of the containers appropriate for retail re-supply of goods (52, 64, 90). Use of the containers as a distribution container (62) and a wholesale goods container (66) within an automated system (60) for automated transfer by a robotic picker (68) of goods (64) from the wholesale container (66) to the distribution container (62) minimizes labor costs in distribution of the goods (64). The container (10) includes a folding wall (22) that is releasably secured in a closed position by a top lid (34) having an engagement lip (42) that secures a top edge (46) of the folding side or front wall (22). Opening the top lid (34) and then folding down the front wall (22) permits efficient loading and unloading of the container (10).

    Abstract: In a camera apparatus, two SMA actuator subsystems each comprise two SMA wires connected between a camera unit and a support structure, hooked over a pivot element defining pivot axes that lie in a common plane along the optical axis. Differential contraction of the SMA wires drives rotation. The SMA actuator subsystems are opposed, but the SMA wires of each subsystem are fixed respectively to the camera unit and the support structure, reducing the height. A non-conductive substrate supporting conductive tracks electrically connected to the SMA actuator system is configured as a flexure arrangement between the camera unit and the support structure. The flexure arrangement is connected to the camera unit at a position in the common plane reducing lateral resistance to tilt. Use of an intermediate connector element allows the circuit board to be arranged in front of the intermediate connector inside the height of the lens system.
