An entirely disposable pet litter apparatus consisting of a rectangular box, resilient bag, and an insert to hold the bag against the inner walls of the container. A portion of the top wall of the container is removed creating a window to view the contents. The rectangular box can be constructed with corrugated cardboard with an FOL type design with locking tabs which reduces the need for adhesives during manufacture. Optional detachable supports and a bag cover can be installed through slits in...

An implantable microporous ePTFE tubular vascular graft exhibits long term patency, superior radial tensile strength and suture hole elongation resistance. The graft includes a first ePTFE tube and a second ePTFE tube circumferentially disposed over the first tube. The first ePTFE tube exhibits a porosity sufficient to promote cell endothelization tissue ingrowth and healing. The second ePTFE tube exhibits enhanced radial strength in excess of the radial tensile strength of the first tube. The s...

A gas supply system for pulse-wise feeding a reactant gas to a reactor, the gas supply system comprising: a first valve being a four-port diaphragm valve; a second valve which in an open state brings the first port into fluid communication with an exhaust and in a closed state closes off said fluid communication; wherein the gas supply system provides a reactant flow state in which the first valve is in an open state and the second valve is in a closed state, and wherein the gas supply system pr...

A method for authenticating a subject painting as to a particular artist by comparing brush marks between one or more known works of the artist and the subject painting.

A display system is shown which comprises, in combination, a display panel and a modular multi-layer three dimensional figure which can be readily disassembled and re-assembled in different forms. The display panel has a structural member with a first and second outer covering member, at least one of which is a hook or loop material, and which outer coverings are joined at their lateral edges in a narrow, unobtrusive seam. The figure is comprised of a plurality of first flexible elements, flat i...

A method is described for stabilizing moving tissue within the body. The method comprises creating a first opening for primary surgical access into the body, and a second opening spaced apart from the first opening in the body. An elongated stem having a proximal end and a distal end is inserted into the second opening. A foot having an upper and a lower surface is inserted into the first opening. The lower surface of the foot is engaged with the moving tissue within the body. The distal end of ...

A tubular jersey and rib sewingless scrunchy includes a holding element and a sewingless tubular fabric coating wrapping around the holding elements, wherein the holding element is a loop shape fabric elastic band and the sewingless tubular fabric coating is made of a tubular jersey and rib material wrapping around the loop shape fabric elastic band, two ends of the sewingless tubular fabric coating being connected together by ultrasonic welding to form an endless body. Accordingly, since the tu...

A coloring kit project for children producing magnetic frames for photographs and art work. The frame is composed of a flexible magnetic material suitable having designs for coloring or decoration which will adhere to a ferrous surface such as the door of a refrigerator. The invention focus is in particular on a magnetic frame kit composed of a plurality of printed outlines of frames with designs on a single sheet of flexible magnetic material and a plurality of decorative elements on a single s...

A device for rotating a body comprising a hollow member for grasping in a horizontal position; a constraint having three continuous portions, a first portion extending from a first end of the hollow member, a second portion extending through the hollow member, and a third portion extending from a second end of the hollow member; and a body attached to the first portion of the constraint. An operator oscillates the body in a pendular motion and sets the body in continuous revolution by abruptly p...

A fluid delivery apparatus which embodies a stored energy source such as distendable elastomeric membrane which cooperates with a base and a conformable ullage to define a fluid reservoir and one which includes a unique fill assembly for use in controllably filling the fluid reservoir. The novel fill assembly of the invention enables the fluid reservoir of the fluid delivery portion of the apparatus to be aseptically filled in the field with a wide variety of selected medicinal fluids.
