摘要:
The present invention is an improved polymeric resin composition comprising or consisting essentially of from about 70 wt % to about 79 wt % units derived from ethylene and from about 21 wt % to about 30 wt % units derived from an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid having from 3 to 8 carbons. Resins of the present invention are particularly suitable for preparing transparent laminates useful as glazing elements that provide a greater measure of safety than non-laminated glazing elements. Laminates of the present invention have 3% haze or less without the addition of amines.
摘要:
An animal head gate having a base with a first and a second rod pivotally supported on the base. First and second gates are connected to the respective first and second rods. The first and the second gates each have an open position and a closed position. In the closed position of the first and the second gates, portions of the first and the second gates extend about a portion of the animal for restraining movement of the animal. An actuator assembly is connected to the first and the second rods for causing the second rod to rotate in a closing direction and in an opening direction in response to the first rod being moved in the closing direction and in the opening direction. The actuator assembly comprises a strap having a square or rectangularly shaped cross section with a substantially flat upper surface and a substantially flat lower surface, the strap comprising a plurality of individual strands woven and interconnected to form the strap.

A torque bar suspension scale having a platform for supporting objects to be weighed and a pair of torque bars with each torque bar being disposed at an opposite end of the platform. Strap assemblies are connected to the platform, the torque bars and a frame whereby the torque bars are rotated in response to a weight being disposed on the platform. Each strap assembly comprises a strap having a rectangularly shaped cross section.

Systems and methods are described for searching media files using a set-top box (STB), a television receiver, digital video recorder (DVR), placeshifting device or other media device, or any type of network host that communicates with a media device of any sort. Search criteria is received from a user, and the search criteria is identified in listings of media programming available from one or more sources. In some implementations, a combined search result can be provided that identifies instances of the search criteria found in program guide listings, files stored on a digital video recorder (DVR), available on-demand content, or any other sources as desired. Some implementations may prioritize search results using information about files stored on a DVR, user preferences, or any other information as desired.
摘要:
A unitary vehicular front end is provided comprising a left and right side, each having a handle section with a fork segment thereof, the left and right sides being bridged together via a connecting member having a central bar for receiving the frame of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle or other two or three-wheeled vehicle. A method of securing the unitary vehicular front end to the frame of a vehicle is also provided.
摘要:
A method for conducting a lottery game is described. The method provides a plurality of tickets acquirable by participants in the game, including an entry in a ticket Pool corresponding to a ticket acquired by a participant. A number of ticket drawings are distributed from a first drawing to an Nth drawing at predetermined intervals prior to an event. An entry from the ticket pool is randomly drawn as the first drawing, and a first prize is awarded to the participant to whom the first drawn ticket belongs. An entry is randomly drawn from the ticket pool as the Nth drawing, wherein the Nth drawing corresponds to a certain event; and an Nth prize is awarded to the participant to whom the Nth drawn ticket belongs. Tickets remain in the ticket pool from the first drawing to the Nth drawing.
摘要:
Systems and methods are described for remotely controlling a personal or digital video recorder (PVR/DVR), a set top box (STB), a placeshifting device, or any other media server. A communications session is established between a server host and the media server in response to a connection request received from the client. Information about the content processed at the media server is received via the session and provided to the client. In response to subsequent instructions received from the client, the media server can be controlled, or other actions can be taken, by providing directions to the media server from the host via the communications session. Additional or alternate features may be provided as desired.

摘要:
The present invention concerns an assay for the detection of polyketide synthetase (PKS) mRNA from the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. Another aspect of the invention concerns NASBA primers and a molecular beacon that enable detection of mRNA of one of the PKS genes. In another aspect, the present invention includes an internal control RNA (IC-RNA) that enables quantitative detection of the target as well as correction for inhibition of amplification. The assay of the invention provides a rapid and specific detection of the putative toxin-producing genes of the Florida Red Tide Organism. The assay of the invention is useful for determining the virulence of red tide blooms.
摘要:
A thermoformable multi-layer sheet is disclosed, which comprises or is produced from a first co-extruded clear polymeric layer comprising an ionomer resin; a second co-extruded polymeric layer; a third co-extruded thermoformable polymeric adhesive layer that is in direct contact with the second co-extruded layer and a backing layer; and a co-extruded backing layer adhered to the adhesive layer. Also disclosed is a product such an auto part, a truck part, an auto or truck body panel, or a part or panel of a recreational vehicle having a Class A surface that can comprise or be produced from the multi-layer sheet.
