Abstract:
A trim bead for a building wall incorporates an outwardly extending flange portion to provide a mechanical key for a layer of exterior finishing coatings, such as stucco coatings. The trim bead may be used in stucco systems for exterior building walls that employ continuous thermal insulation over the building wall substrate.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide navigation devices (10) and methods for receiving and/or forming geoblogs. The provided navigation devices (10) are generally operable to retrieve a geoblog utilizing the current geographic location of the device (10) and a user input, form a geoblog utilizing the current geographic location of the device (10) and selected pre-defined comment, and/or automatically title a geoblog utilizing a current geographic location of the device (10). Such configurations and variations thereof enable users to easily share information related to a geographic location.

Abstract:
Functionalized substrates and method of passivating the surface of a substrate to improve the surface by imparting desirable surface properties to improve the performance of a surface, the method steps including exposing the substrate to a chemical vapor deposition process to coat the substrate with silicon, and functionalizing the coated surface by exposing the substrate surface to a binding reagent having at least one unsaturated hydrocarbon group.
Abstract:
A device for providing cleansing composition to the inner surface of a wall of an enclosure with a fluid, the device having: (a) a first fluid spray bar having an interior space for receiving fluid from a source of the fluid and for spraying the inner surface of the wall of the enclosure. The first fluid spray bar has at least a first spray hole through which cleansing composition may be sprayed, the first spray hole being in fluid communication with the interior space of the spray bar. Additionally, the first spray hole provides a first tangential spray.
