Abstract: A fiber-based radiopaque tissue marker for radiographic marking of tissue is provided. The marker is a sterile, single-patient-use polymeric fiber with a radiopaque material and a dye. The marker is radiopaque using standard radiographs such as x-rays and mammography. The marker can also be visualized by low-dose CT scans.

Abstract: The end loader bucket attachment includes a bracket attachable to the side plate of an end loader bucket, and an arm pivoting from the bracket. The pivot is oriented generally vertically to allow the arm to swing in a generally horizontal plane, depending upon the tilt of the bucket. When the bucket is tilted somewhat rearwardly, the weight of the arm causes it to swing outwardly to extend generally laterally from the bucket and end loader machine. However, when the bucket is tilted somewhat forwardly, the arm automatically swings forwardly, generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine. The attachment is particularly useful in picking up suspended objects to the side of the bucket and machine, and swinging those loads to a forward position generally in front of the bucket and machine. This greatly reduces the need for maneuvering the machine to pick up and reposition such loads.

Abstract: This invention is a simple, inexpensive, damage resistant, compact tray for use in rural type mailboxes to facilitate an improved, safer and easier manner in posting and receiving mail. It is designed with five major additions to the arts of existing mail tray patents: 1. The nature of this invention is specifically designed for mass production to result in an inexpensive tray available to peoples of all income brackets. 2. It is also designed for damage control keeping incoming and outgoing mail free from damage, with emphasis on water damage. 3. It is designed to allow mail receipiants ease of access when approaching in an automobile. 4. Multiple materials may be used in its construction, all working equally well. 5. All of the necessary arts found in the various inventions of this nature have been consolidated in this invention.

Abstract: A coating composition for forming a water-resistant coating on fiber-reinforced articles such as rods or cables. The composition comprises an aqueous solution of a superabsorbent water-soluble polymer, a viscosity modifying agent, and optionally a lubricant. The coating formed by applying the composition effectively prevents the treated surface from water-permeation damage by absorbing water that contacts the layer containing the superabsorbent component.
