This deodorant is good, but it only lasts about 8 hours tops. It also takes a few minutes to dry -- it's pretty wet when you roll it on -- so if you're in a rush, forget about it. I usually have to remove the excess with a tissue. I find that Tom's of Maine's natural deodorants last longer and dry faster, and I like their smell, so I'm going to stick with those.
Chris: more than a year ago
This is the first natural deodorant I've tried that actually works to prevent odour and that isn't stinky itself (I mean, I love Indian food and Pine Wood forests but do I really want to smell like either of those?) This product has a scent but it's quite neutral and good for both men and women. Finally, a way to protect against under-arm odour without piling on the aluminum zirconyl under my arms. I still keep my Gilette handy for a day where I have a big meeting or have to do lots of sports---you know, just in case. But for every day wear, this one does the trick, and without the nasty chemicals. Try it!
Robert: more than a year ago
I developed allergies to all of the other deoderants I have used, even the Crystal, so I was happy to find Desert Essence was effective and that I could use it without developing a rash. My local store stopped carrying it. I was so glad to discover Well.ca and can get it quickly delivered to my door!
Jen: more than a year ago
This is my first attempt at wearing a natural deodorant. So far so good. It's been sweltering out and I have not been a stink-o-saurus as expected. Also, I love that it doesn't smell like lavender, the way most natural deodorants too; lavender is bad stinky. So far, I am impressed!
Bob: more than a year ago
I grew allergic to my standard brands of deodorant. I tried Crystal for years then became allergic to that too. I found Desert Essence at a local store and it works great, but they quit carrying it. So I was very excited to find it on-line at Wells.ca, shipped quickly right to my door. No allergy and last all day with normal activity. The scent is very subtle which I think is a good thing.

Hessen Court Records
is a prenuptial agreement between couples. They report their possessions and distribution of wealth to the court. Often aging parents are involved because the young couple will take over their possessions. In such cases the parents will determine how they want to be relocated and treated. Often there is a clause what should happen in case of death of either spouse.
Click here to see some sample pages.
When a person dies, usually an inventory of the estate of the deceased is made by the surviving spouse or relatives. Herein are listed the personal effects, household goods, cash and cattle etc. If children from a previous marriage are involved, they are counted in. The inventory is ratified by the court in the presence of several witnesses.

are issued by the court when young people around 21 years of age want to claim their inheritance. They have to file an application to plead or declare their coming of age which would prove their capability to handle their own affairs. In most cases, the birth record was retrieved from the pastor and testimonies of guardians or others witnesses vouching for the self-reliance of the candidate. In some cases, the court did not issue a coming of age certificate. Such documents reveal next to dates also character traits or personal history of ancestors.

MUST SEE! An 11-Year Old's Reaction to Learning He's Going to be a Big Brother is Priceless
Posted March 20th, 2014 @ 6:46am
(screenshot: Vimeo)
Do you have younger siblings? Think back to when you found out you were going to have a baby brother or sister. Was it exciting news? I remember sitting on my Mother's lap while she was pregnant with my sister. I was almost 3-years old and I told her I wanted to name the baby "7-Up." Thankfully...they didn't take my suggestion.
Here's an 11-year old who was asked to read a note in front of a camera. His reaction to finding out he's going to be a big brother is...perfect. - Chilli

Go, Rhode Island! :-)
I especially love the fact that the RI Senate Republicans voted unanimously in FAVOR of gay marriage.
From the Boston Globe:
"The state Senate provided drama and an emotional debate in April, though in the end the 26-12 vote was emphatic. The chamber's five Republicans all supported the measure, apparently becoming the first legislative caucus in the US to unanimously support gay marriage, according to Senate Minority Leader Dennis L. Algiere, a Republican from Westerly."
Good on ya, guys!

Here's a few additional points, from various news articles:
"an intense broad-based advocacy campaign that included the governor, business leaders and religious leaders"
Didja get that? RELIGIOUS LEADERS helped to get gay marriage legalized in RI. So much for the anti-gay folks who insist that gay marriage is an attack on religion as a whole.
And BUSINESS LEADERS also helped -- because they realize that equal rights is GOOD for business.
"Delaware is likely to be next, perhaps as soon as next week. Illinois and Minnesota are also on track for passage."
Three more states, coming right up! :-)
In fact, the Delaware House has already passed the bill. It goes for a vote in their state Senate next week. Delaware already recognizes same-sex civil unions.
The Illinois Senate has also passed their bill already, and that vote will be coming up in their House soon.
One **lay minister** (there's that religion again) in Delaware who supports the bill remarked: "What matters is that government treats us all as equals under the law".
Illinois' GOP Part Chairman has publicly endorsed gay marriage. The governors of all three states support gay marriage.

ELECTRONIC EYES: What the Computer Knows -- A special report.; On Line, High-Tech Sleuths Find Private Facts
Published: September 15, 1997
(Page 3 of 5)
''That's why lawyers hire private investigators -- it's willful blindness on their part,'' Mr. McKenna said. ''They don't want to be directly involved in the chain; that's why they're willing to pay so much.''
Information, like money, can be laundered. In the Food Lion case, for example, lawyers from its Washington law firm admitted that private telephone records had been secured through an information broker hired by the Stadler Company, its private investigation agency in Houston. But everyone denied knowing how it had been done.
One of the victims, Larry Cordts, a former manager for Food Lion with an age-discrimination complaint, had a pretty good idea. A stranger impersonating him had called AT&T from Texas, saying he was out of town for several weeks and needed a copy of his telephone bills. Checking customer service records, AT&T discovered similar ruses had been used twice before to fraudulently obtain Mr. Cordts's phone records.
Even if the targets of such scrutiny find out, redress is an uphill fight under laws that sometimes seem better designed to protect the privacy of corporations than of individuals. In the Food Lion case, Mr. Cordts's lawyer had been shocked to discover Stadler's name on her own credit report. When she called the credit bureau, she wrote in an affidavit, ''I was told that Stadler accessed my credit file for the stated reason that I had applied for a mortgage with Stadler Company'' She had not.
But when she and ABC's lawyers tried to learn more, the food company said the matter was confidential under lawyer-client privilege. Though the presiding magistrate said he was ''gravely concerned'' about the telephone records, he said he had no jurisdiction. As for the credit inquiries, he accepted Food Lion's contention that Stadler had not obtained actual credit history information on witnesses, but ''only 'header' information consisting of name, address, Social Security number, employment and the like.''
Among the many privacy bills pending in Congress are some that would restrict such sales of Social Security numbers without permission. Private investigators and data marketers argue that restrictions would cripple the information industry and the many legitimate purposes it serves.
The revolution in information technology can also arm David against Goliath, helping ordinary people collect judgments, track deadbeat parents, or uncover political corruption. The press itself has used commercial databases with names like People Finder and Auto Track to inform the public, whether by tracing campaign contributors involved in finance scandals, or locating relatives of people killed in the Oklahoma City bombing.
But critics see public perils in a private investigations industry that can simultaneously leverage ties to law enforcement and tap an underground market in illicit information on behalf of clients as diverse as spurned lovers and the lawyers of powerful corporations.
In the Texaco case, the private investigator, Mr. Coombs, hired moonlighting police officers who surreptitiously tapped into police databases full of unverified arrest records, and used the information to intimidate claimants who came to collect modest settlement checks, according to sworn statements by Roy Alvarado and Rosanna Perez, residents who once worked for the private eye but are now suing him.
Relying largely on information generated by Mr. Coombs, investigators from the Los Angeles District Attorney's office seized more than 2,000 claimant medical records and legal files from the offices and homes of six plaintiffs' lawyers in a search for insurance fraud, court records show. They found no evidence to prosecute, but the seizures delayed many of the explosion claims to the point of derailment.
A halting legal process still has not forced Texaco to answer plaintiffs' questions about the explosion, which occurred three months after the company ignored official warnings to inspect its pipes for corrosion that had caused three refinery fires elsewhere, state inspectors found.
''They were so far in trying to dig up dirt on people, it got to the point where I could not go to sleep at night,'' Mr. Alvarado said. ''Wow, if they can do this to an attorney, can you imagine what they can do to a simple person?''
The Privacy Thief
Posing as Another To Get Information
Allen Schweitzer was earning $1,000 a day as an information broker when he was arrested in December 1991 in a national investigation that was billed as a major blow for privacy. But from Boulder, Colo., the so-called godfather of information brokerage sees a business that is bigger and bolder than ever.
As enormous amounts of personal detail have become legally available at the push of a button, there is even greater competition for the more private kind of data.
''Now it isn't just retired F.B.I. agents or ex-cops,'' said Mr. Schweitzer, who pleaded guilty to buying earnings information from a Social Security Administration databank. ''Now every Tom, Dick and Harry has a Web page offering this stuff.''

I have a javascript plot on my page with "data point highlighter" functionality: when the mouse hovers over the point, you can see the coordinates popup. I also want to place a semi-transparent "sheen" image layer over the plot to make it look glossy. I can achieve this with the z-index, but the on-mouse-over functionality of the js plot stops working. Is there a way to have the sheen layer on top and still have the on-mouse-over of the layer below (the plot layer)? Many thanks...
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I can't think of a way to do that easily, apart from splitting apart the plot image and the area that reacts to the mouseover, and placing the latter above the sheen - which may be bothersome to do.
If it's semi-transparent, though, would it be an option to do the whole thing the other way round? Placing the "sheen" below the plot, and making the plot semi-transparent?
This is not possible. Shame.
Actually, I believe it is possible, but it's a bit of a messy workaround, and, in essence, involves capturing mouse/cursor position x/y location and mapping that to the plot layer -- not the easiest or optimal task, let alone completely inefficient. I realize this is an older question, but thought I'd point this out for future users.

Yaupon Therapeutics raised $14.4 million through a Series D private placement with new and existing investors. The funds will be used to support regulatory review and potential commercialization of Yaupon's lead compound, a proprietary gel formulation of mechlorethamine hydrochloride, for the treatment of early-stage mycosis fungoides, the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The firm submitted its NDA for the product toward the end of July.
"This financing provides us with the necessary capital to take us through the NDA regulatory review process, while preparing for commercialization either alone or with an industry partner," remarks chairman and CEO Steve Tullman.
Mechlorethamine is a chemotherapeutic agent that is approved in an intravenous formulation for treating mycosis fungoides, Yaupon notes. However, although topical mechlorethamine preparations are recommended for the treatment of early-stage CTCL by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), there are currently no FDA-approved topical preparations. Consequently, topical treatment with mechlorethamine is limited to nonstandardized, pharmacist-compounded preparations that are often paraffin-based.
In contrast, Yaupon's water-based mechlorethamine topical gel is cGMP-manufactured and has been evaluated in clinical studies. In a pivotal study in patients with early-stage mycosis fungoides the product met both the primary endpoint of lesion severity and secondary endpoints. The topical gel has been granted fast-track and orphan drug status by FDA.

I am proud that I can talk about my depression because it gives me the accomplishment of completely removing the burden that has been plaguing me for months. I feel I can breathe again. I'm not saying that it's easy to talk to people about your depression, particularly if you, like myself, have kept it hidden for so long.
We all remember our days at school - our teachers, our friends, the moment the bell rang for break time. As children it's where we spend most of our time, the place where we build not only our academic skills but our knowledge of life and how to live it. But for some children and young people this experience is not quite the same.
What I am saying is try your best to talk to someone, but also don't not talk to anyone. Otherwise, you'll end up feeling worse. I want to say that I wish I had talked about my personal problems earlier in order to get rid of this burden before it got worse - but how can I regret something that is immensely difficult to do?
Suicide is a difficult topic to talk about because there are so many feelings that go alongside it. For some it can be immoral, too upsetting, something "selfish" people do, too sensitive, too dark, maybe even something that people avoid talking about because it is too difficult to understand why someone would commit such an act...
At the age of 51, Kieren Fallon has retired from race riding and closed an umpteenth chapter in his remarkable life.
I left a part of me on the stage that day - that part was made up of fear, shame and an unwillingness to accept me for me. It took a while, but I am now 100% owning my truth.
I totally understand why we hide, sharing the difficult stuff sounds terrifying and i'm the first to admit that being around me on a day like today when I am not hiding is no fun for anyone! But I think it's equally terrifying being isolated and feeling like you are the only one in the world feeling like this on a day like today.
Depression can be frightening. Often we can doubt whether it will ever get better. Being told that it can, is what we want to hear - even if we may find it hard to believe. Being told that we are the one, who has to take responsibility and do something about it, is not something we may want to hear.
At home, at college, in relationships, in comedy etc I was the laid back funny guy that only very rarely let the mask slip. It wasn't until circumstances in my personal life hit a wall that finally the act had to come to an end and for the first time in my life, I snapped and told someone what was going on inside me on any given day.
Depression can be infinitely confusing for all involved. You have to listen, difficult things need to be discussed, patterns need to be identified. It can't be ignored and it can't be shouted out of people. It's the most subjective of all diseases, and it comes at you out of your loved one's face.
I wish people understood social anxiety in the same way as they understand allergies. They understand that if people allergic to nuts have nuts then they go to the special nut-allergy hospital. I assume. I have not researched this article.
Worldwide, one in four of us may be diagnosed with mental health conditions but that doesn't account for how many people are undiagnosed. It doesn't account for how many people feel alone and isolated because of difficulties they're grappling with and they feel like they are the only ones. They're not. None of us need be alone if we are honest and comedy is the most honest art form we have - comedy is the truth wrapped in a lie.
Depression crept into me when I was very young. I can't recall the first time I could identify the sadness, but I remember frequent episodes where I would float out of my body and not recognise myself. I've always felt like two people.
The relief of realising I was actually ill with an illness not merely "rubbish" and "lazy" has been incredible. The fact I can get better, gigs, Leon and my mum and dad who need me; they're what keep me going.
My experience changed me profoundly and believe it or not, as awful as it was I'm glad it happened. I appreciate happiness differently now. I believe that to know true happiness you must also know despair - one helps define the other.
Since receiving the help I desperately needed, I am happy and in control. My anxiety will never truly go away. I still have my bad days. People sometimes don't understand why I spend all day sulking in the corner. It's OK if you don't understand. We're all a bit different. What if you need a little mental health care? What if you know someone who needs it? What will you do?

Customer Reviews For Thorogood Boots:Waterproof Steel Toe I Met Men's Boots 804-4848
I have been an internet customer of many companies, but I have to say that my experience with The Working Person's Store has been the best I have ever encountered. About a month ago when I had a short time-frame to acquire some women's steel-toed boots, after numerous trips to many stores, I unfortunately found that such footwear is almost impossible to find, even in Metropolitan Washington/Baltimore. I was a little skeptical at first of your website, since I had never heard of it before, but you seemed to offer the widest selection and had all the brands and sizes to choose from in women's boots. With the short time-frame I had, I ordered 5 pairs, not knowing at all how the sizing ran or what the comfort of each would be. Since you advertised that you would accept returns on them, I ordered a bunch, knowing I would return all but one pair. Finally, after a second order in a smaller size of the boot I liked the best, I have a wonderful pair of boots. Your ordering process, return process, and refund process have been the best I have ever experienced in on-line stores. Thank you for your quality, speed of service, and easy-to-use web site. I was even more impressed when I recently received a hand-addressed envelope with my refund slip in it. Wow... I will recommend you to everyone and you certainly will hear from me again when I need another pair of boots."
J. Markham from Silver Spring, Maryland

A number of improvements in the technique of artificial insemination of animals have been made in recent years to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of results. An initial problem was the fact that semen could not be efficiently stored for any appreciable length of time. This hurdle was overcome by utilizing a process of freezing the semen at liquid nitrogen temperatures for storage. However, the activity of the semen decreases considerably upon thawing; this decrease in activity is generally attributed to damage occurring to the semen cells during the thawing process. More specifically, a critical period appears to occur during the physical stage when the semen is in a semi-crystalline state, at the transition temperature range from a frozen storage state to a liquid operational state. It has been found that an increase in the rapidity with which the semen is passed through this critical semicrystalline state, results in a corresponding reduction in damage to the cells, and the resulting activity of the semen and success of the insemination is much greater than formerly observed.
In an effort to increase the activity of the thawed semen prior to injection, various expedients are disclosed in the prior art. For example, the semen is inserted into an elongated plastic tube or straw and the straw itself has been decreased in size and mass and designed to expose more surface area of the semen to the heating medium. Ice baths, as well as baths slightly higher in temperature than the ice baths, have been employed in an effort to increase the heat gain of the straw. However, these efforts have generally failed to produce an acceptable level of activity upon thawing of the frozen semen. In general, these prior art efforts allow the semen to remain in the critical temperature range of partially crystalline semen for an unacceptable length of time; and, as mentioned above, an undesirable amount of damage to the semen cells occurs.
The present invention provides a system for thawing frozen semen wherein the semen passes quickly through a critical temperature range; that is, the semi-crystalline semen remains within a critical temperature range a minimum period of time. In the apparatus of the present invention, the straw or vial containing the semen is placed in a thawing chamber including a water bath heated to a controlled constant temperature of 140� Fahrenheit. The length of time that the temperature of the semen straw remains in the critical temperature range previously discussed, is decreased to approximately two seconds. Once the semen in the straw is thawed, the straw is removed from the thawing chamber and inserted into a second or holding chamber where the straw is kept at a rather constant temperature of 95� F. ready for use.
The thawing chamber is electronically timed and temperature controlled. When the semen straw is inserted into the thawing chamber for thawing, a timing switch is depressed, setting in operation the timer mechanism. At the end of the thaw cycle, as set by the timer, aural and visual indicators provide a signal. The operator then removes the straw either for injection purposes or for placing into the holding chamber where the straws are maintained at a constant temperature for subsequent injection. The holding chamber is readily portable and enables the user to carry an injector or sheath as well as a supply of semen straws to permit the animals to be injected at the selected temperature.
The inventive system quickly thaws semen straws thus providing greater convenience and efficiency in performing artificial insemination. The rapid, electronically controlled application of heat, accelerates the thaw cycle.
An important advantage of the inventive system is that it provides an increase in the cell yield over conventional methods.
A principal object of the subject invention is the provision of a system for thawing semen straws which minimize loss of semen activity.
A further object of the present invention is the provision of a thawing chamber and a holding chamber to enable an operator to prepare a series of semen straws in the thawing chamber which may then be placed in a holding chamber for subsequent use and conveniently carried to the area of use.
A further object of the present invention is an electronically controlled system which allows the thawing and storage of a semen straw with a minimum loss of activity of the semen contained therein.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front view showing a chamber for thawing the semen straws, and a chamber for holding and storing the semen straws after they have been thawed; and, the mechanical and electrical connection of the two chambers;
FIG. 2 is a relatively enlarged isometric cut away view of the heating tube or container which is mounted in the thawing chamber of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an isometric view showing the holding chamber mounted on the belt of the user;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the electronic heating and control circuit of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a graph useful in explaining the inventive concept of the invention; and,
FIG. 6 shows the temperature stability of the straw positioned in the holding chamber.
Referring first to FIG. 1, the inventive system 10 includes a pair of elongated rectangular chambers or casings 12 and 14. In one embodiment, the chambers are approximately 17 inches in length, 2 inches in width and 1 inch in depth. Each of the chambers 12 and 14 includes a respective sleeve container or elongated tubing 16A and 16B (see also FIG. 2), each container having an open top and a closed bottom end. Containers 16A and 16B receive the semen straws which are made out of a suitable plastic, as is known in the art. In addition, chamber 14 which is the semen straw holding or hold chamber, includes another sleeve container 16C which is of longer length than containers 16A and 16B and is used to hold the injectors or sheaths for the semen straws.
Chambers 12 and 14 may be mechanically engaged by any suitable tongue and groove arrangement indicated at 32 which, in conjunction with a suitable male-female electrical socket connector 36 mounted on the sides of chambers 12 and 14, and maintains the chambers in relatively locked engagement.
The semen straws 20 are thawed, in container 16A of thawing chamber 12, then placed in the container 16B in chamber 14 and maintained within a selected temperature range. Suitable electrical connections are provided through the circuitry of FIG. 2 to provide the thawing and temperature or heat maintaining functions, as will be explained.
As mentioned, after thawing, the semen straws 20 are placed in the container 16B of chamber 14. Chamber 14 may be separated and electrically disconnected from chamber 12 as indicated in FIG. 1 to be carried such as on the belt of the user as indicated in FIG. 3. The hold chamber 14 maintains the semen straws 20 warm and ready for use until withdrawn as required for usage.
The chamber 12 further includes the electronic circuitry 11 shown in FIG. 4 which is utilized to precisely heat and thaw the frozen semen straws in a predetermined time period, as will be explained.
An insert rod 22 includes an elongated portion 24 with a circular bottom basket 26 and a top cap 34. Basket 26 includes recesses 28 formed adjacent its periphery to permit the water to drain or flow therethrough when the rod and basket are being inserted or withdrawn from container 16A. Top cap 34 closes and seals the container 16A and includes an integral thermometer 35 for indicating the temperature of the water in the container 16A.
In use, the rod 22 and basket 26 are partially inserted into container 16A and the ends of the semen straws 20 are next positioned in basket 26 around rod 22 and the rod, basket and straws are then completely inserted into container 16A. Cap 34 closes the open top of container 16A.
The graphs of FIG. 5 show a temperature vs. time comparison wherein the axis of ordinates is in degrees Fahrenheit and the axis of abscissas is time in seconds. FIG. 5 shows three curves indicating typical semen straw thawing cycles of different systems to enable comparison of the thawing cycle and operation of two prior art systems as against the inventive system.
A principal feature of the inventive concept concerns the operation of the inventive system as relates to the temperature range indicated as R between the two horizontal lines in FIG. 5. To explain, during the thawing cycle, it has been found that the semen which has been frozen, such as in liquid nitrogen, as it is heated goes through the temperature range R during which the frozen semen in the straws changes from a crystalline structure to a liquid. A rather critical period, indicated as C in each of the curves of FIG. 5, depicts the time required for the temperature of the semen to pass through range R. It has been found that the shorter the period of time C required for the semen to pass through the temperature range R, the less will be the loss in semen activity.
Certain prior art teaches the use of ice water to thaw the frozen semen. As can be seen from the dotted line in FIG. 5, when ice water thawing is employed, the semen remains within critical temperature range R for over 60 seconds. Further, as can be seen from the dotted line graph, the time required to thaw the semen and for the semen to reach a suitable temperature is relatively long. This will result in a relatively great loss in semen activity.
Certain other prior art systems thaw the semen at about a 34� temperature. The dot-dash line of FIG. 5 shows that the semen will be within critical temperature R range for about seven seconds, which is a significant improvement over the ice water thawing method.
The results of the thawing action when using the inventive system is shown by the heavy solid line in FIG. 5. Note that the semen is in the critical temperature range C for only approximately two seconds. Accordingly, the inventive system provides a means of thawing the semen while retaining a very high percentage of the semen activity; or, said in another way, it minimizes the loss of the semen activity caused by the thawing action. It has been found that by using the system and technique of the present invention, increases the live cell count to a higher percentage of the total volume as compared with the prior system and methods. Obviously, this significantly enhances the probability tht pregnancy in the animal will occur.
The effect of the semen storage or hold chamber 14 is shown in FIG. 6. Assuming a relatively low ambient temperature of 30� F., the semen hold chamber will retain the semen straws stored therein at a relatively constant temperature as indicated by the solid line curve as compared to the exposed semen straws as indicated by the dotted line curve. FIG. 3 depicts the convenient portability of the chamber 14.
The electronic heater and control circuitry 11 of the invention is shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4. The electronic heater and control circuitry 11 is connectable to a source of power such as an electric cigarette lighter 13 of an automobile, indicated schematically in FIG. 4. Circuitry 11 may also be connected to any suitable 12 volts D.C. power supply package which can be connected to a regulated 115 A.C. outlet. An On-Off switch 15 switches the source of power to the circuitry 11. Suitable On-Off lights may be included as is well known, to indicate switch 15 is in an On position. The circuitry 11 includes well known resistive heater coils 17 and 19 (see also FIG. 2), which are energized by the power source and are electronically controlled by the remaining portion of the circuitry 11 to provide heat to the containers 16A and 16B in respective chambers 12 and 14. Thermistor control circuits 31 and 33 of any suitable known design, (in one embodiment, GA 51J1 Thermistors are used) control the power applied to the respective heaters 17 and 19.
A toggle type spring return switch 25 is provided, which switch is a single position, normally open switch and which may be manually actuated and held in a closed position to energize the timer 27. Timer 27 may be of any suitable known type and in one embodiment, commprises a ICl dual timer available from the RCA Company.
A suitable electrical buzzer 29 (which in one embodiment comprises a Tung-Sol 902 buzzer) provides an audible indication to indicate the timer 27 has timed a preset time period. In one embodiment, the timer is set to count to or time out 12 seconds, and at the end of the 12 seconds, the timer permits buzzer 29 to be activated. The twelve second timing period has been selected to provide a suitable heating cycle while also taking into consideration the operator's reaction time. Buzzer 29 buzzes to indicate to the operator the end of the preset time period, and at that point, switch 25 is opened.
A light emitting diode, LED 41, is also connected in parallel with buzzer 29 and is energized and lights during the timing period and thus visually indicates the timing period.
To operate the system, containers 16A and 16B of chambers 12 and 14 respectively are filled with water to a preset level. The power is next connected to the electronic circuitry 11 froma source 13 by closing the power switch 15. The semen straw 20 containing the frozen semen is placed in position on basket 26 and the basket is inserted into the container 16A of the thawing chamber 12, while pressing down or closing the timer switch 25.
The current is applied through respective heaters 17 and 19 to heat the containers 16A and 16B in chambers 12 and 14. The heater 17 supplies heat to container 16A during the thawing cycle to thaw the frozen semen straws 20. Thermistor controls 31 and 33 monitor and control the temperature applied by means of coils 17 and 19 to containers 16A and 16B respectively.
The frozen semen straws 20 will be thawed during the thawing cycle of 12 second duration. Note that the preset period of time or thawing cycle may vary or be varied dependent on factors such as the dimensions of the straw. The timer 27 is set to time out the aforesaid thawing cycle period and LED 41 is energized at the same time to light and visually indicate the timing cycle is in process. Upon counting or timing of the twelve second period, the timer 27 will actuate buzzer 29 to buzz and provide an indication that the heat cycle is complete.
The rapid thaw takes the frozen semen through the critical de-crystalline stage quickly to minimize cell damage. The semen straws 20 are then removed from the container 16A in thawing chamber 12 and placed in container 16B of the holding chamber 14.
The heater 19 heats its container 16B in chamber 14 to a level of approximately 95� F. As mentioned above, the thermistor control 33 monitors the heat developed by heater 19 to heat container 16B in preparation for receiving the thawed straws 20.
In one embodiment of the operation of the inventive system, the following tolerances have been found satisfactory. The temperature of the water in the thawing chamber 12 should be in the range of 140� � 5� F.; the temperature of the water in the hold chamber 14 should be in the range of 95� F. � 3� F., and the thawing cycle should be 12 seconds � 2 seconds.
The cap 34A on container 16B is then sealed to prevent leakage. As indicated above, the holding chamber 14 may then be electrically and mechanically detached from the thawing chamber 12 and fastened on to the user's belt by a suitable clip and the system is ready for use. Obviously, several holding chambers may be used to further expand the flexibility of the system.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
