International Classification:

B05B 7/24
B65D 1/40
B05B 15/00

US Classification:

239308, 222325, 220676

Abstract:

A sprayer system has a tank for containing water, a cartridge for containing a dispersible substance, and a sprayer for being in fluid communication with the tank and the cartridge. The sprayer includes a housing with a receptacle for removably receiving the cartridge. A pump is mounted to the housing and in fluid communication with a first passageway carried by the housing. The pump draws the water from the tank into the first passageway while the sprayer is in fluid communication with the tank. A second passageway is carried by the housing and in fluid communication with both the receptacle and the first passageway for supplying the dispersible substance from the cartridge to the first passageway and, thereby, forming the dispersion in response to operation of the pump while the receptacle is in receipt of the cartridge and the sprayer is in fluid communication with the tank.

US Classification:

427250, 2525215, 2525203, 2525195, 427343, 427256

Abstract:

Methods of exchanging ligands to form colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) with chalcogenocyanate (xCN)-based ligands and apparatuses using the same are disclosed. The ligands may be exchanged by assembling NCs into a thin film and immersing the thin film in a solution containing xCN-based ligands. The ligands may also be exchanged by mixing a xCN-based solution with a dispersion of NCs, flocculating the mixture, centrifuging the mixture, discarding the supernatant, adding a solvent to the pellet, and dispersing the solvent and pellet to form dispersed NCs with exchanged xCN-ligands. The NCs with xCN-based ligands may be used to form thin film devices and/or other electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices. Devices comprising nanocrystal-based thin films and methods for forming such devices are also disclosed. These devices may be constructed by depositing NCs on to a substrate to form an NC thin film and then doping the thin film by evaporation and thermal diffusion.

International Classification:

A61M 25/06
A61M 25/00

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are couplers and assemblies thereof for rapidly insertable central catheters (“RICCs”). For example, an introducer-needle assembly for a RICC can include an introducer needle and a coupler coupled therewith. The introducer needle can include a needle having a longitudinal needle slot extending from a proximal portion of the needle shaft through a distal needle tip. A sheath can be over the needle shaft sealing the needle slot thereunder except for a portion of the needle slot under a sheath opening in a proximal portion of the sheath. A needle hub can include a distally extending needle-hub extension arm over the proximal portions of the needle shaft and sheath. The needle hub can also include a needle-hub portion of a RICC clip configured to hold a portion of the RICC therein. The coupler can include a complementary coupler portion of the RICC clip connected to a coupler housing.

Abstract:

A method for engineering a line shape of emission spectrum of an organic emissive material in an electroluminescent device is disclosed in which a layer of plasmonic metallic nanostructures having a localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) is provided in proximity to the emissive layer and the layer of plasmonic metallic nanostructures is greater than 2 nm but less than 100 nm from the emissive layer and the LSPR of the plasmonic metallic nanostructures matches the emission wavelength of the organic emissive material. An electroluminescent device incorporating the plasmonic metallic nanostructures is also disclosed.
