Abstract: An elastomeric flashing assembly includes an elastomeric film having a rough opening panel and a wall flange. A liner is removably coupled along an elastomeric film adhesive side. A panel support substrate is coupled along the rough opening panel of the elastomeric film. The rough opening panel has a first elastomeric deformation characteristic based on the panel support substrate. The wall flange has a second elastomeric deformation characteristic lower than the first elastomeric deformation characteristic. In an installed configuration, the rough opening panel extends over the rough opening frame and the wall flange is folded at a wall flange joint and stretched around at least one rough opening frame corner along a wall panel of the rough opening frame in a planar configuration. The wall flange with the second elastomeric deformation characteristic is deformable into a planar configuration while coupled along the wall panel in the installed configuration.

Abstract: An insulated glass unit includes a first outer glass pane having a first thickness and a second outer glass pane having a second thickness. One or more inner glass panes can include one or more glass ribbons that are interposed between the outer glass panes. At least one of the inner glass panes can have a thickness that is less than the first and second thicknesses. An edge assembly is coupled between the outer glass panes. The edge assembly can be configured to receive an edge portion of the one or more inner glass panes, such as to retain the one or more inner glass panes at respective positions that are spaced apart from, and generally parallel to, the first and second outer glass panes. In an example, side edges of the one or more inner glass panes are recessed from corresponding side edges of the outer glass panes.

Abstract: A method for drying wood based materials includes applying a treatment including a first chemical, such as a solvent, to a wood based material. At least part of an atmosphere is evacuated from around the wood based material. The wood based material is exposed to electromagnetic radiation to evaporate at least a portion of the first chemical.

Abstract: A microscope slide receptacle system for positionably receiving and releasably holding specimen retaining microscope slides in a generally vertical disposition. The system includes a plurality of hinged first and second frames each frame comprising a generally inverted "U"-shaped changer and having complementary coupling hinges for inter-coupling multiple frames together to form the system. A releasable clip is fastened to the frame structure for engaging and supporting the slides. Each frame has a support hanger along the upper surface to permit coupling to a system support.

Abstract: An improved receptacle or holder for microscope slides used in scientific, medical or medically related procedures, with the receptacles being configured to positionably receive, hold and index microscope slides either vertically or horizontally by means of an articulated array of individual holders. The design further minimizes slide-to-cradle contact, with the configuration allowing for rapid drainage of liquids from the slide surfaces. The cradle is also configured to facilitate manual grasping of the edge surfaces of slides being held within the cradle.
