The present invention also encompasses intermediates useful in the disclosed synthetic processes and the methods of their preparation.

Abstract: A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having an access opening providing access to the interior. A tub can be located within the interior and can at least partially define a liquid chamber. A drum is rotatably mounted within the liquid chamber and at least partially defines a treating chamber. A clothes mover is located within the treating chamber and rotatable about a vertical axis. The clothes mover can include a base and a barrel.

Abstract: Financial liabilities are dynamically managed by receiving liability information relating to a client associated with multiple financial liabilities. Each financial liability is associated with a respective interest rate. A payment is allocated among the financial liabilities, for example, as a function of the interest rates associated with the financial liabilities. When a change in a financial liability occurs, the allocation of the payment is adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a colorimetric detection kit comprising a unit containing chemical reagents and a sample collector for collecting a sample analyte from a surface and a separate unit for visualizing a possible reaction of the chemical reagent and sample, the unit holding the chemical reagents and sample collector being placeable on the visualization unit, whereby when the chemical reagents are released, they are directed onto the sample collector for reaction and the reacted reagents absorbed on a visualization media, such that the presence of a specified analyte in the sample results in a color change in the visualization media.

Abstract: Disclosed are integral and/or portable, easy-to-install apparatuses for detecting and containing fluid leaked or otherwise discharged from a fluid-filled device and for facilitating testing and maintenance of the apparatus and fluid-filled devices. In one aspect of the disclosed invention, upon sensing a fluid discharge, the apparatus activates audible and/or visual alarms and directs the discharged fluid to a predetermined drainage area to prevent damage to areas surrounding the fluid-filled device. In another aspect of the present invention, no plumbing or electrical wiring is required to install the apparatus, thereby allowing an unskilled individual to easily and inexpensively install the apparatus. In yet another aspect of the present invention, the apparatus may be easily located since it is not dependent on gravity or a drainage pipe for discharge of the fluid.

Abstract: A cleaning device has a funnel-shaped body with a rotatable door held in an opening, adjacent a handle connected to the body. The door includes a trigger for opening the door, and the handle and body are angled for ease in collecting and dumping debris.

Abstract: A method for matching clinical trials to qualified individuals in which the criteria for a plurality of clinical trials are stored, where each clinical trial describes a course of treatment for a particular illness or disease. Information is obtained from a user to determine whether the user is qualified for one or more of the clinical trials. The clinical trials for which the user qualifies is then presented to the user.

Abstract: A combination mouse pad and writing pad comprised of a plurality of sheets of paper secured together and further secured to a chip board base, with each of the sheets of paper having a textured surface with a large number of shaped "micro-domes" thermographically printed thereon and spaced apart between 0.005" and 0.100". The sheets of paper are secured together along two substantially perpendicular side edges and to the base which has a non-skid backing.

Abstract: A shoulder strap includes a separate belt extendable from and retractable into one end of the shoulder strap upon movement of a sheath, covering a predetermined length of the belt and one end of the shoulder strap. The shoulder strap and the extended separate belt may then be supported on the shoulders of a person to support a bag suspended from the ends of the shoulder strap. The sheath may be made so as to be openable or foldable to allow extension of the separate belt.

Abstract: A mouse pad having a transparent top layer with a scratch resistent upper surface thereon, is secured to a resilient backing in such a manner that a pocket is formed between the resilient backing and the top layer to allow material having visual information thereon to be inserted and removed from the pocket via an opening formed through the resilient backing. The present invention also provides a method for forming mouse pads having pockets therein, by first printing on at least one side of a top surface layer, laminating a series of layers of different material together and die cutting the mouse pad and an opening through all the layers except the upper surface layer to allow access to the pocket.

Abstract: A mouse pad and item holder having a top surface with a mouse tracking surface, that may be a textured surface or a separate mouse pad held in a recessed area, is supported by a shaped base having a number of openings formed between a bottom surface of the base and the top surface of the holder to allow various items to be inserted into and removed from drawers, dispensers, trays and the like, movably held in the base.

Abstract: A container holding device having a suction cup mounting means with an elongated arm rotatably mounted thereon. A container holder is fixed to the elongated arm at an angle and has a base and a sidewall for supporting a container in the container holder in the upright position. For supporting different size containers, the holding device includes a second elongated arm rotatably mounted on the first arm. The second arm is actuated by an actuating means held between the arms, against the action of a biasing means, and includes a removable lid rotatably mounted on the end of the second arm capable of coacting with the top of a container held in the container holding device.
