B01J 13/02

US Classification:

264 41, 4284022, 42840221, 42840224

Abstract:

The methods of the invention employ electrostatic atomization to form a compound droplet of at least two miscible fluids. The compound droplet comprises a core of a first fluid and a layer of a second fluid completely surrounding the core. The first fluid contains the agent to be encapsulated and the second fluid contains an encapsulating agent. The first and second liquids are miscible. The encapsulated droplets can contain a variety of materials including, but not limited to, polynucleotides such as DNA and RNA, proteins, bioactive agents or drugs, food, pesticides, herbicides, fragrances, antifoulants, dyes, oils, inks, cosmetics, catalysts, detergents, curing agents, flavors, fuels, metals, paints, photographic agents, biocides, pigments, plasticizers, propellants and the like and components thereof. The droplets can be encapsulated by a variety of materials, including, but not limited to, lipid bilayers and polymer shells. An additional complete or partial layer of a third fluid can be formed on the outside of the second fluid layer.

Abstract:

An item position tracking system includes weight sensors each associated with a weight board. Each weight sensor transmits sensor data indicative of a weight of an item to its corresponding weight board. Each weight board is configured to assign a particular address number to its corresponding weight sensor. The weight boards transmit the sensor data and the address numbers to a circuit board that transmits the sensor data and the address numbers to a weight server. The weight server determines from which weight sensor data is originated based on the address numbers, and whether items were removed from the weight sensors.
