The present invention relates to a biochemical assay apparatus in which a sample processing device is controlled by a detection instrument through a series of linear and rotary actuations to execute a biochemical assay on a biological fluid sample.

Apparatus

The present invention relates to preparation of heterogeneous mixtures of (carboxylated) vinyl ester/ethylene dispersions, such as vinyl acetate/ethylene (VAE) dispersions with polyamideamine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) wet strength resins having a reduced amount of halogenated organic compounds, such as less than 1500 ppm. The dispersion offers extremely low free and bound formaldehyde levels combined with wet tensile strength for use in non-woven textile and paper applications.

Carboxylated vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer dispersions and uses thereof

An apparatus () for delivering particulate material () to a flowing stream of frozen confectionery material () to provide a single serving to a consumer, the apparatus comprising: a dispenser for the particulate material; and a dispenser for providing the flowing stream of confectionery material flowing vertically downwards from an outlet (), the flowing stream having an outer surface; wherein the dispenser for the particulate material comprises a particulate material deposition device () for depositing the particulate material at a common particulate deposition location (), and a plurality of chutes (), each chute arranged to catch deposited particulate material and redirect it in a substantially horizontal direction to collide with the outer surface of the flowing stream of frozen confectionery, each chute () beginning at the common particulate deposition location () and spreading out from each other to each deposit the particulates at a different radial location around the flowing stream of frozen confectionery.

Apparatus for delivering frozen confection comprising particulate material

An apparatus for delivering particulate material to a frozen confectionery material to provide a single serving to a consumer. The apparatus comprises a chamber for storing the particulate material, and a supply of frozen confectionery. The chamber has an open exit, wherein the chamber is adapted to be rotatable in use such that the open exit follows a pathway having both an upper region and a lower region, and arranged to pass through the lower region at a non-zero speed a plurality of times during a single serving. The open exit is sized to allow a portion of stored particulate material to fall out of the chamber via the open exit under gravity each time the open exit passes through the lower region of the pathway. The apparatus also is arranged to bring particulate material that has left the chamber into contact with the supply of frozen confectionery.

Carboxylated vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymer dispersions and uses therof

A hair styling apparatus having a pair of closable jaws to engage a user's hair. The jaws have complementary shapes with a first said jaw defining a curved ridge and a second said jaw defining a curved recess. One or both of the jaws includes a heater such that, when said jaws are closed, hair is heated in a heating region between the ridge of the first jaw and the recess of said second jaw. The second jaw has a curved longitudinal surface having an active cooling region. The heating region is located on the forward curve and the active cooling region is located on the reverse curve.

Hair styling apparatus

A hair styling apparatus including a first and a second arm moveable between a closed position in which a contacting surface of the first arm is adjacent a contacting surface of the second arm and an open position in which the contacting surfaces of each arm are spaced apart, whereby the contacting surfaces of each arm have complementary profiles so that, in use, a section of hair is clamped between the contacting surfaces when the arms are in the closed position, and where a heating zone on at least one of the contacting surfaces is provided to heat the section of hair between the contacting surfaces, a cooling zone on at least one of the contacting surfaces is provided for cooling the section of hair after the section of hair has been heated, and the cooling zone is curved whereby, in use, as the hair styling apparatus is moved along the section of hair in a generally linear fashion, the section of hair is curled.

A cigarette filter having a consolidated nonwoven fabric with an aqueous based polymer binder. The polymer binder comprises one or more polymer compositions and is stabilized by one or more high molecular weight protective colloids. While the binder may be utilized with unconsolidated nonwoven fabric webs made by a variety of methods, the binder is particularly useful for application to webs made via the latex bonded airlaid or multibonded airlaid methods.

Cigarette filters including latex bonded nonwoven fabric

The present invention is directed to a method for applying an aqueous polymer dispersion to a substrate involving forming a viscosity of from 10 to 5,000 m&middot;Pas, and applying the dispersion to a substrate at a pressure of from 100 to 1500 psi. The method is useful with porous substrates, and especially in non-woven materials. The process provides a precise means of coating a polymer dispersion on the surface of a substrate, or with controlled penetration into the substrate.
