A receiver drier comprises a housing and a filter unit. The housing includes a moisture absorbing chamber and a longitudinally spaced filter chamber. The filter chamber includes an inlet formed adjacent a first portion of an inner circumferential surface thereof and an outlet formed adjacent a second portion of the inner circumferential surface. The filter unit is received within the filter chamber and includes a main body defining a first filter compartment therein. A first surface of the first filter compartment is defined by a first screen element fluidly coupling an interior of the first filter compartment to an exterior thereof. The flow of the refrigerant enters and exits the first filter compartment while flowing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the receiver drier.

A method includes removing glyphosate from a solution by contacting the solution with a mesoporous inorganic particle having an average pore size of greater than zero and less than about 50 nm, wherein the mesoporous inorganic particle is functionalized with a positively charged moiety selected from ammonium, amine and combinations thereof.

A method for solid-phase extraction is disclosed. The method includes fabricating a solid-phase extraction medium by incorporating a plurality of modified mesoporous silica particles within pores of a cotton fabric matrix, putting the solid-phase extraction medium in contact with a fluid containing metal ions including one of immersing the solid-phase extraction medium in the fluid containing metal ions or passing the fluid containing metal ions through the solid-phase extraction medium by continuously circulating the fluid through the solid-phase extraction medium, and extracting the metal ions from the fluid by adsorbing the metal ions onto the solid-phase extraction medium responsive to a contact between the solid-phase extraction medium and the fluid containing metal ions.

A device and method for removing hot molten wax or other material from a receptacle for a meltable tart or the like. The device has a heat resistant body formed of a material that is of sufficient porosity to absorb or soak up the hot molten wax or other material in the receptacle when it is positioned therein and to retain its structural integrity so that it can be disposed of after it has absorbed or soaked up the hot molten wax or other material.

The present invention provides an easy-to-use and higher-sensitivity immunochromatography device for an RSV, the device using an antibody that binds specifically to F protein of the RSV in a determination region of a chromatography medium, a test kit by an immunochromatography method, and a method for detecting an RSV using these device and kit. The present invention relates to an immunochromatography device in which not only an antibody that binds specifically to F protein of an RSV but also an antibody that binds specifically to N protein of the RSV is solid-phased in a determination region of a chromatography medium. The present invention also relates to a test kit by an immunochromatography method, and a method for detecting an RSV using these device and kit.

The inventive technology may involve, in particular embodiments, novel use of a non-porous, high surface energy stationary phase to adsorb, in reversible fashion, the most polar component of a resins fraction of an input hydrocarbon when a mobile phase is passed over the stationary phase. Such reversible adsorption prevents irreversibly adsorption of such components on active stationary phase(s) downflow of the non-porous, high surface energy stationary phase, thereby conserving stationary phase costs and increasing resolution of resins elutions, and accuracy of hydrocarbon component results. Aspects of the inventive technology may also involve a novel combination of a solubility based asphaltene component fractionating and analysis method and an adsorption chromatography method for separating and/or analyzing saturate, aromatics and resins components of an input hydrocarbon.

Systems and methods for extracting useful by-products and natural rubber from non-Hevea rubber bearing plants are disclosed.
