The invention relates to a device for unlocking swing-action side walls ( 2 to 5 ) which are hinged on the base ( 6 ) of boxes and/or containers ( 1 ), of which the two opposite end walls ( 4, 5 ) can be locked to the two adjacent side walls ( 2, 3 ) and unlocking takes place by virtue of a lifting movement of a bracket-like actuator ( 13 ), which interacts with a movement-deflecting means ( 16, 17 ), and wherein unlocking crosspieces ( 19 ) act on spring-tongue-like locking means ( 10 ) of the side walls ( 4, 5 ), these locking means being latched into the end walls ( 2, 3 ), and force them out of their latching seat, in which they clamp the end walls ( 2, 3 ). According to the invention, the actuator ( 13 ) is arranged in a sliding wall element ( 26 ) which can be displaced vertically parallel to the end wall ( 4, 5 ) in an upwardly open wall cutout of the end wall ( 4, 5 ), in lateral guides ( 25 a , 25 b ) of the wall cutout, these guides continuing the end wall ( 4, 5 ), into a position in which it closes the wall cutout or releases the same, and wherein, during displacement movements of the sliding wall element ( 26 ), the movement-deflecting means ( 17, 18, 19 ), which interact with the ends of the actuator ( 13 ), remain in their installation position in the end wall ( 4, 5 ) laterally adjacent to the wall cutout.

The invention pertains to a lipid-based microbubble stably binding a plurality of nucleic acids, and a method of delivering the microbubble and nucleic acids to a specific target site using ultrasound. The delivered nucleic acids create transgenic cells (i.e., for example, a transgenic tumor cell), wherein the transgenic cell expresses the proteins encoded by the delivered nucleic acids. This technology provides a significant improvement for microbubble-drug delivery platforms as known microbubble do not efficiently bind nucleic acids. The improvements described herein include but are not limited to identifying proper lipid proportionality ratios and/or cationic surfactant layers that provide an optimum mechanical index compatible with ultrasonics. Microbubble perfusion and/or nucleic acid delivery may be performed by a combination of imaging and ultrasound/microbubble targeted delivery to simultaneously perform low power two-dimensional imaging and high power microbubble destruction. Such systems are useful in therapeutics and/or diagnostics. For example, the data disclosed herein shows proof of principle in conjunction with the delivery of therapeutic siRNA molecules to slow tumor growth. 1.

Device to Attach a Food Recycle Bin to a Large Bin for the Purpose of Preventing Access by Animals

Автор: Joseph Jevon Bruce
Принадлежит:

A device that attaches a food recycling bin to a larger bin by connecting the handles of each via a strap, rope or chain, and an integrated hook. 1. The inventor claims the invention as novel, new and useful, consisting of a device to attach a food recycle bin to a larger bin for the purpose of preventing access by animals. Not ApplicableNot ApplicableNot ApplicableThe invention is a simple yet novel solution to a common household problem.The problem is that residents place their food recycling (also known as “composting”) bins outside for collection, but these bins are sometimes accessed by animals (such as racoons) before the collection has been done.As municipal or private waste collection is often scheduled for early in the morning (such as 7:00 am), residents often choose to place waste bins, including food recycling bins, outside the night before the collection. During the period before the collection is attempted, animals (typically racoons) can knock over food recycled bins, and then can more easily open the lid and access the contents. The result can be a mess on the ground, and often refusal by the collector to remove the waste.Some devices exist to help prevent access by animals, but they take the form of mechanisms to secure the lid closed, and require difficult installation such as drilling holes and attaching screws or bolts.The invention that is the topic of this submission (“the invention”) takes a different approach; it attempts to prevent the food recycling bin from being pushed over by the animal. If the bin cannot be pushed over, it becomes much more difficult for the animal to access the contents.The invention serves to prevent animals, typically racoons, from pushing over food recycle bins that have been placed out for collection. By preventing such bins from being pushed over, residents may be able to prevent animals from accessing the contents of the bins (thereby preventing the resulting mess).The invention provides a quick way to attach a ...
