Described herein relates to a multi-component adaptor assembly including a resin reservoir adaptor disposed on a printing surface of a preexisting additive manufacturing device, and including a build platform adaptor secured to a translatable arm of the preexisting additive manufacturing device. The resin reservoir adaptor is used to modify an existing resin reservoir by creating one or more smaller reservoirs within the larger housing, thereby reducing an amount of resin stored within the device to reduce resin waste. Moreover, the rotating and/or sliding build platform adaptor is designed to selectively contact one or more of the reservoirs of the resin reservoir adaptor, thereby selectively printing components of an additive manufactured process. The multi-component adaptor assembly allows for additive manufacturing projects using less resin with fewer waste products; simultaneous printing of identical structures; and the selective printing of different components of a structure during a single printing cycle.

Methods and related devices for enhancing the nutritional value of algal silage for aquaculture using electromagnetic radiation to expedite and make uniform the annealing process of the microalgae on the silage. New isolates have been screened for their natural abilities to produce added nutritional value comparable, if not higher, relative to industry gold standard strains.

An active force electric field anti-pathogenic fabric is used to remove pathogens from an environment surrounding the fabric. The fabric can be woven into daily clothing items, personal protective equipment, or other clothing items typically worn by a user. The fabric includes a current-carrying mesh that is coated with active materials used to remove pathogens from the air. As such, the fabric operates as an anti-pathogenic material that is used to remove harmful particles from an area surrounding a user. Accordingly, microorganisms, smoke particles, industrial pollutants, odor molecules, allergens are structurally disassociated into harmless protein fragments and natural molecules when encountering the purifying agents in the fabric.

A biocompatible resin composition that is used in the manufacture of a dissolvable microneedle that is used for the transdermal delivery of one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients to a subject. The biocompatible resin composition includes lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphospinate, water, and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (molecular weight 550), and may include methacrylated hyaluronic acid, that is capable of forming a structurally stable microneedle patch. The microneedle patch is formulated with the biocompatible resin composition using a continuous, one-step process utilizing additive manufacturing. Once manufactured, the microneedle patches are formulated to adhere to an outer layer of a subject's skin. Once administered to the subject, the microneedle compositions create microscopic pathways into the subject's subdermal layers to deliver one or more active agents to the subject, such as to the subject's bloodstream.

A microwave-assisted hybrid solar vapor absorption system that converts anergy into exergy and works sustainably without the intermittence associated with the single absorption vapor absorption systems. The heat required for the generator in a vapor absorption system is provided by preheating the water through solar collectors and by using the vehicle's waste heat in conjunction with solar heat, collecting the waste heat and the solar heat into circulating water or other thermal fluids like mineral oil through the vehicle's radiator, the vehicle's exhaust pipe, and a solar collector. By combining the waste heat and the solar heat, the system achieves the required generator temperature. By introducing dielectric heating and by differentially heating only the refrigerant fluid, and not the absorbent fluid, the required pressure for refrigeration is achieved, while allowing the absorbent fluid to remain significantly cooler than the refrigerant. This increases the Coefficient of Performance to 0.95.
