A kit, an apparatus, and method are provided for developing a latent print. The apparatus comprises a pellet comprising a substrate impregnated with a sublimation compound, a receptacle, an adapter, and an end cap. The receptacle is open at a first end and detachably connected to a heat source at a second end. The receptacle is designed to receive and accommodate the pellet through the first end of the receptacle. The adapter defines an annular space for transmission of heat from the heat source to the pellet. The first end of the adapter is connected to the second end of the receptacle and the second end of the adapter is in communication with the heat source. The end-cap comprising a mesh window in an annular space of the end-cap allows passage of the fumes released from the pellet through the open end of the end cap towards the latent print for development.

Latent print development apparatus

A labware handling device comprising an opening for supporting or suspending a crucible or other piece of labware, three or more legs, and a handle to allow the user to easily manipulate and move the labware handling device.

Crucible holder

Calcium channel (alpha).sub.1 -subunit and (alpha).sub.2 -subunit-encoding DNA, and related compositions and methods, are provided.

Calcium channel compositions and methods

Probes and assays for calcium channel .alpha..sub.2 subunit-encoding

[DNAs] DNA molecules encoding mammalian calcium channel a.sub.1 and a.sub.2 subunits are provided. The [DNAs] DNA molecules are used to transform host cells which may also contain a reporter gene, the transcription of which is responsive to an ion or molecule capable of entering the cell through a calcium channel.

Cells expressing calcium channel .alpha.2 subunit-encoding DNA,

Calcium channel .alpha..sub.1 -subunit and .alpha..sub.2 -subunit-encoding cDNAs, and related compositions and methods, are provided.

Calcium channel .alpha.-2 subunit DNAs and cells expressing them

A food warming device assembly supported on legs comprises a stand or a frame having a heater supporting shelf for supporting a tray-like food container, an opening disposed in the heater supporting shelf, a gas burner extending into the opening and supported therein by an annular flange, and a control box containing a fuel cartridge connected to the gas burner by means of an automatic piezo-electronic ignition line and a fuel supply line for automatically igniting and controlling the supply of fuel to the gas burner, whereby the food warming device assembly can be used to maintain food in a warm condition in a controlled manner.

Portable food warming device assembly

An ear held earmuff is provided and consists of an inner securement member placed over helix of outer ear of a person and an outer muff member sized to cover the outer ear of the person which is removably attached to the inner securement member to protect the outer ear of the person against the cold weather.

Ear held earmuff

A method of potentiating the effect of a dihydropyridine derivative, such as nimodipine or nifedipine, by administering d-cis-diltiazem in an amount sufficient to inhibit calcium influx but insufficient to cause substantial decrease in contractility, and administering a dihydropyridine derivative in a submicromolar amount less than the dosage normally required for pharmacological effectiveness. A calcium channel blocking composition comprises a synergistic combination of d-cis-diltiazem and a dihydropyridine derivative.
