Abstract:
A modular enclosure, such as a shed, may include a floor constructed from one or more floor panels. The floor panels, which may be constructed from blow-molded plastic, may include a pattern disposed on the upper surface. The floor panels may also include depressions that are formed in the lower surface and extend towards the upper surface. If desired, the depressions may be generally aligned with a portion of the pattern in the upper surface and the depressions may have a length that is less than the distance separating the upper surface and the lower surface. Advantageously, the depressions may be sized and configured to increase the strength of the floor panels. In addition, the floor panels may include a pattern disposed on the lower surface and the depressions may be at least partially disposed in the pattern. The patterns on the opposing sides of the panels may be generally offset and/or have different orientations.
Abstract:
A modular enclosure may include a number of interlocking components, such as panels, that may be interconnected to form sidewalls, roof and/or floor. In particular, the modular enclosure may consist of a shed and the shed may be packaged within a container. For example, the shed may constructed from a number of outer wall panels and corner panels. The corner panels preferably include a living hinge that allows the corner panel to be moved between a generally planar position and an angled position. Advantageously, the wall panels and the corner panels may be capable of being stacked within the container to facilitate packaging of the shed when the corner panels are in the generally planar position
Abstract:
A modular enclosure, such as a shed, may include sidewalls and a roof. The roof, for example, may include first and second roof panels that are separated by a seam. The roof may also include a truss that is sized and configured to support the roof panels. The truss may include a channel that allows any moisture entering the shed from between the roof panels to be removed from the shed. In particular, a portion of the first roof panel and a portion of the second roof panel may be at least partially disposed within the channel. Advantageously, the truss may be constructed from metal, which may allow a strong and sturdy shed to be constructed, and the roof panels may be constructed from blow-molded plastic, which may allow a lightweight and generally weather resistant shed to be produced.
Abstract:
A lightweight folding chair may include one or more armrest. The armrests are preferably pivotally attached to the chair so that the armrests can be moved between a storage position and a use position. The armrests are also preferably pivotally connected to the front legs of the chair, but the armrests can be connected to any suitable portions of the chair. The chair may also include a seat with an interference fit support bracket. The seat may have a lightweight seat member constructed of a lightweight material, such as a blow-molded plastic, that is generally supported by two such support brackets. The support brackets may be affixed to the lightweight seat member by sliding the lightweight seat member into interference engagement with the support brackets.
Abstract:
A table is disclosed having a table top and legs to support the table top. The table top can be constructed from blow-molded plastic having an upper surface and a spaced apart lower surface. The upper surface can have features formed therein including, but not limited to, a central portion and a boundary portion. The boundary portion can include various retaining regions for holding game pieces, beverages, and the like. The lower surface can include a plurality of depressions formed therein.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a system and method for real time evaluation of ultrasound video images taken at a first local location and evaluated at a second remote location. The system transmits a continuous live video feed from a veterinary ultrasound at the first location to a viewer at the remote location for real time study, review, and collaboration. In the method, the ultrasound video images are converted from analog ultrasound video to digital ultrasound video, where the digital ultrasound video is processed into multiple streams and transmitted across multiple broadband channels, each channel carrying a different stream. The multiple streams are aggregated into a reconstituted video and displayed for evaluation at the remote location.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems and methods for ventilating a patient with a gas mixture containing a low molecular weight gas, such as helium. The disclosure describes a novel proportional solenoid valve for controlling a low molecular weight gas mixture in a medical ventilator with reduced leakage.
Abstract:
This invention provides novel dicarboxylic acid salt forms of varenicline, wherein the acid is selected from maleic acid, fumaric acid, adipic acid, galactaric acid and malic acid. This invention provides also a carboxylic acid salt form of varenicline, wherein the acid is S-2-pyrrolidinon-5-carboxylic acid. This invention also provides methods for making these salt forms.
