Abstract: An applicator for dispensing a substance upon a body comprising a hollow member; a reservoir for said substance presented at one end of said hollow member; a piston disposed within said hollow member for communicating with said reservoir for dispensing said substance from said reservoir to said body; structure presented at another end of said hollow member for activating said piston.
Abstract: A multi-channel digital equivalent time sampling (MDETS) device having a programmable logic control that can select, delay or create various triggered signals. The MDETS can function independently or with multiple devices allowing for synchronized acquisition of data. The close proximity of MDETS device to a transmitter and receiver allows for the short time delay for acquiring the data.

Abstract: A securing system is provided for securing a container adjacent to the top of the side walls of the rear compartment of a truck. The securing system includes a rail mounted on the side walls of the rear compartment, the rail having a profile which corresponds with the profile of wheels mounted on the container. The securing system reciprocates between a first position in which the container is secured to the rear compartment, and a second position in which the container is moveable along the length of the rail. A container adapted to be secured to the side walls of the rear compartment of a truck is also provided. Further, a method of retrofitting a container for use in the rear compartment of a truck with the securing system is also provided.
Abstract: A closure for a container having an opening, comprising a baffle having at one end a surface for blocking communication with the opening, an orifice at a top end of the baffle for communicating with the opening.
Abstract: A biopsy forceps jaw device and method of assembling, comprising pivotally mounting to a single flat support having a single aperture a threaded, self-centering proximal end and a pointed distal end, an integrally connected non-metallic jaw assembly having a cutting plane. The integrally connected non-metallic jaw assembly pivots about a common axis within the single aperture allowing for rotation of the integrally connected non-metallic jaw assembly within the cutting plane. A pair of actuating wires for moving the integrally connected jaw non-metallic assembly from a closed position to an open position is attached to the integrally connected non-metallic jaw assembly. The threaded self-centering proximal end of single flat support and the pair of actuating wires are inserted into a tubular member. The integrally connected non-metallic jaw assembly and the single flat support are centered within the tubular member through the threaded self-centering proximal end.
Abstract: A panel, paneling system and method of installing the paneling system. The panel includes a tongue and groove for engaging adjacent panels, a profile having cross members for reinforcement and the ability to attach the panel or paneling system to a wall.
Abstract: Improved compositions for treating psoriasis, including a body wash composition, spray composition and cream composition and the use of these novel compositions in a system or method of treating psoriasis.
Abstract: A method for treating malignant cells such as leukemia or chronic myeloid leukemia, in a mammal, comprising of administering to the mammal a leukemia therapeutically effective amount of reactive oxygen intermediates. A method of treating cancer in a mammal with cancer and modulating the mammal's immune system, comprising of administering to the mammal in need thereof a cancer therapeutically effective amount of reactive oxygen intermediates. A method of treating leukemia in a mammal with leukemia, comprising of administering to the mammal in need thereof a leukemia therapeutically effective amount of ozone into the mammal's blood and a leukemia therapeutically effective amount of ether lipids.
Abstract: The system includes an access assembly for communicating with the gas filled insulating units, flexible electrodes for insertion through the access assembly to the gas and for sensing the concentration of the gas, and a meter for measuring and displaying the concentration of the gas that is sensed through the electrodes.
Abstract: An anti-coupling device for a semi-trailer to prevent the coupling of a semi-trailer's kingpin to a tractor's fifth wheel comprising of a housing assembly mounted within a specific radius of the kingpin having a half sphere for engaging the tractor's fifth wheel when the half sphere is locked in an active position by a locking assembly. The anti-coupling device may move between an active and a passive position by pneumatic valve system.
Abstract: A sliding catch with partition release assembly for a fire extinguisher cabinet having a locking mechanism that comprises of a L-shaped member that has a first portion and a second portion that is defined as a stopping mechanism and a slotting mechanism. The slotting mechanism may be moved from a first locked position to a second unlocked position thereby releasing the locking mechanism and allowing the fire extinguisher cabinet to open. A partition release assembly allows for the injury-free access to the fire extinguisher cabinet by a fire-person.
Abstract: A device for controlling movement of a valve comprising first and second chambers having a fluid; passage means communicating with said first and second chambers for displacement of said fluid between said chambers through said passageway upon movement of said valve.
Abstract: A lift for a vehicle comprising a support platform for supporting a vehicle; scissor structure displaceably secured beneath the support platform for lifting the support platform and vehicle; a first and second U-shaped rod, each rod having two ends connected together at their ends for pivotal movement therabout so as to releasably secure at least one wheel of a vehicle relative the platform so as to permit a vehicle to be raised and lowered on the platform.
Abstract: A retractable speaker assembly for a partition, such as a ceiling, having a housing containing a speaker, a cavity, an actuator and a panel. The housing is concealed by the panel when the assembly is in a closed position, and is exposed when the assembly is in an operable position. The actuator moves the assembly between the closed and operable positions. The panel is positioned in such a way that the cavity that contains the assembly is concealed by the panel.
