The animal waste-collecting device is adapted for use with a companion animal. The animal waste-collecting device is configured for use in the collection of the excrement of the companion animal. The animal waste-collecting device comprises a telescopic structure, a ring mount, a capture head, and a lamp. The ring mount attaches the capture head to the telescopic structure such that the faces of the capture head rotate relative to the center axis of the telescopic shaft. The capture head is configured for use with a disposable collection bag. The disposable collection bag attaches to the capture head such that the excrement is captured during the elimination process of the companion animal.

A filter assembly is adapted for separating particulate matter entrained in a moving fluid stream. The filter assembly comprises a flow-through three dimensional filter frame including a plurality of joined side walls, and having first and second opposing open faces. The first open face defines a fluid inlet into which the moving fluid stream is drawn, and the second open face defines a fluid outlet from which the moving fluid stream passes. At least one of the joined side walls is inwardly angled from the first open face to the second open face, such that the fluid outlet is smaller than the fluid inlet. A filtration medium is supported within the filter frame, and extends between the joined side walls and from the first open face to the second open face.
摘要:
A mechanism for varying the stroke length of an internal combustion engine during each cycle of operation includes a gear set with a first gear non-rotatably mounted to the engine block and a second gear having teeth formed on an inner surface thereof meshing with the first gear to achieve a uniform mechanical crank arm and a variable cam arm for producing a varying length of piston reciprocation throughout the overall stroke cycle of the engine. The orientation of the crank arm and the cam arm relative to the axis of piston reciprocation is selected for causing the crank arm and the cam arm to cooperatively produce a positive torque on the crankshaft at the top dead center position of the piston. The gear set is also selectively configured and dimensioned to achieve a predetermined ratio of the length of the cam arm to the length of the crank arm.

The invention relates to urea derivatives of formula (I) as inhibitors of glycogen synthase kinase 3β, GSK-3, to processes of preparation of such compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and to their use for the treatment and or prophylaxis of a disease in which GSK-3 is involved, such as Alzheimer's disease or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.
摘要:
The recombinant production of Gap4, a chimeric GapC plasmin binding protein comprising the entire amino acid sequence of the Streptococcus dysgalactiae GapC protein in addition to unique amino acid sequences from the Streptococcus parauberis and Streptococcus agalactiae GapC proteins, is described. Also described is the use of Gap4 chimeric GapC protein in vaccine compositions to prevent or treat streptococcal infections in general and mastitis in particular.
摘要:
A method for designing contact lenses is provided in which direct correlation is made between an individual's subjective assessment of the lens' performance with the objective measurement of one or both of on-eye lens position and eyelid movement. The method permits generation of lens designs that have enhanced on-eye stability in less time than conventional design methods.
摘要:
A storage container includes a lid having a lid panel and an arm extending from the lid panel, the arm including a detent having a first surface parallel to the lid panel and a second surface having a taper extending at least a portion between the first surface and a distal end of the arm, and a base configured to receive a disc, the base having a base panel and a member extending from the base panel, the member having an opening defined by an interior surface having a portion thereof parallel to the base panel, the first surface of the detent engaging the interior surface portion of the member when the storage container is closed. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
