Abstract: Building systems including a frame with a horizontal member from which first and second vertical bars downwardly extend and a panel attached to the frame. The building systems include at least one of an integrated fastener cover that is moveable to a closed position that covers a portion of a fastener, a gusset assembly with a junction cover positioned at a corner junction between two adjacent portions of a panel, and hinge assemblies that reduce the sagging of a panel, such as a door.

Abstract: A method for reducing calcified arterial plaque buildup and cellular malfunction with the administration of therapeutically effective dosages of a compounded coordination complex of magnesium. The method includes steps for making and administering a compounded coordination complex of calcium that balances ionic calcium and does not contribute to unbalanced calcium metabolism, cellular malfunction or calcified arterial plaque buildup. A standardized method for making a compounded coordination complex of inorganic minerals is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for making and administering a compounded coordination complex of magnesium that enhances the biological absorption of an effective amount of potentiated magnesium, and when administered in therapeutically effective dosages balances calcium metabolism, maintains the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system, and prevents atherosclerosis in the human body.

Abstract: Disclosed is a nontoxic piper nigrum and acetic acid liquid lachrymator solution that can be used defensively when dispensed as a spray to reliably fend off and temporarily incapacitate an attacker or lawbreaker without subjecting the targeted individual to permanent injury or death as might otherwise occur had the individual been sprayed with a conventional capsicum lachrymator. In the preferred embodiment the nontoxic lachrymator solution of the present invention comprises an approximately 15% by weight solution of piper nigrum (black pepper), an approximately 49% by weight water reduced solution of acetic acid (vinegar), a solvent/preservative comprising approximately 35% by weight ethyl alcohol and a telltale marking/aiming agent comprising approximately 1% by weight yellow food color. The nontoxic liquid lachrymator solution of the present invention is nonflammable and comprises approximately 63% by weight water.

Abstract: A desired color shade is produced on a textile substrate by treating a dyed textile substrate, which has an initial color shade which is partly due to color caused by the presence thereon of a vat dye and partly due to color caused by the presence thereon of a sulfur dye, with a chlorine-free decolorizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous alkaline medium, whereby the color shade of the substrate is changed from said initial color shade to said desired color shade by removal therefrom of a proportion of the color attributable to the sulfur dye without removing as large a proportion of the color attributable to the vat dye.

Abstract: A single bath process for imparting both a stonewashed and overdyed appearance to denim textiles and articles is disclosed. The single bath comprises a dye, a cellulase enzyme and optionally but preferably a salt.

Abstract: A textile substrate is dyed by immersing it in a gathered configuration into an oil medium containing a dissolved or dispersed dye for a sufficient time to allow the oil medium to come into contact with part but not all of the surface of the substrate and the thus-treated substrate is then preferably immersed in an aqueous medium having another dye dissolved or dispersed therein.
