  • Publication number: 20140262070
    Abstract: A method of creating a living space beneath an awning with added ambient sound, a retractable awning with added ambient sound and a head for a retractable awning having a speaker. The awning has a canopy secured to an awning roller with the roller mounted between opposite awning heads. A speaker is mounted in at least one of the heads for directing sound away from the head. In a retracted position of the awning, sound is directed away from the living space created beneath the awning when it is deployed, and in the deployed position with the awning extended, sound is directed into the living space.

  • Patent number: 8029174
    Abstract: A threshold lighting system for recreation vehicles and the like. The system includes a threshold with a first light cavity extending along one side of the threshold for emitting light inwardly into a recreational vehicle in a first direction generally parallel to the vehicle floor, and a second light cavity on the opposite side of the threshold for emitting light in a second direction down the stairs leading to the threshold. The light cavities are preferably part of an extrusion forming the threshold, and the threshold is typically part of a door frame assembly provided as a unit.

  • Patent number: 5045305
    Abstract: An oral hygiene product especially for inhibiting caries is the form of toothpaste or mouthwash. The product maintains a low fluoride ion concentration in the mouth for longer periods than conventional products by the rapid precipitation of calcium fluoride either in the mouth or immediately prior to use. The product comprises a composition containing calcium ions and a further composition containing fluoride ions. The ion product of the calcium and fluoride ions of the combined product preferably exceeds 3.times.10.sup.-8 mol.sup.3 dm.sup.-9.
