Abstract: A reflective printed article includes a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface with a graphic image printed thereon. A reflective or glossy ink layer is printed over the entire top surface of the substrate. A graphic image is printed over the reflective ink layer. The image may cover the entire portion of the reflective layer or only selected portions thereof. The graphic image includes hidden or latent images printed within the graphic image layers. An optional glossy layer of transparent ink may be printed over the graphic image. A textured pattern of lines is printed or applied in sections over the optional glossy layer or graphical image, with each line in the section printed at the same angle or orientation, with the lines of adjacent sections printed at different angles in order to reflect light in different directions to create the illusion of depth, three-dimensionality, hidden images and motion.

Abstract: A lamp adjuster for adjusting the aim of a headlamp is disclosed. The lamp adjuster includes an input shaft, a ball stud bracket in threaded engagement with the input shaft and an o-ring mounted on the ball stud bracket. Rotation of the input shaft causes linear translation of the ball stud bracket, thereby adjusting the aim of the lamp.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process by which an extract comprising integral thylakoids is obtained. The resulting extract is a potent dynamic antioxidant useful as a ROS (reactive oxygen species) scavenger. This extract is intended to be used for the treatment or prevention of diseases involving the generation of ROS, such as inflammatory diseases or cancer. This extract also finds a use as a solar screen because of its capacity to capture UV radiations and to dissipate the solar energy into heat.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing a container as to leakage and defects. The apparatus is especially useful for testing plastic bottles because it does not contact one or more of the bottle sides during testing. A frame with the test components may be adjusted so that the apparatus will fit many different conveyor configurations and container sizes. A container is moved along by a conveyor, where it is sensed by a photo-eye to initiate testing. The test probe makes contact with the container opening, and travels with the container during testing. The test probe introduces air into the container and detects the maximum pressure and pressure decay. If the pressures are not within an acceptable range, the container is ejected from the conveyor.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for field dressing game. The apparatus includes an anchor and a cord attached to the anchor. The anchor is adapted to be inserted into the ground, and the cord is adapted to be attached to an animal's leg and to the anchor.

Abstract: A lamp assembly that may be used as a fog lamp or headlamp includes a mounting bracket, a reflector, and an adjuster. The reflector is pivotally mounted to the mounting bracket and the adjuster is secured to the reflector. The adjuster is secured to the mounting bracket such that rotation of an aiming screw forming part of the adjuster causes pivoting of the reflector and aiming of the lamp. The adjuster is secured to the bracket prior to the reflector being mounted to the mounting bracket. The bracket and adjuster are provided in pre-assembled fashion.

Abstract: An animal skinner with a base attached to a support having an arm and a crank positioned thereon. A skin retainer is positioned on the base. A hang line is engaged to the crank at one end, travels through a hang line guide attached to the arm, and is engaged to an animal fastener at the other end. The animal skinner is attached to a brace. In operation, an animal is attached to the animal fastener. The animal's skin is positioned in the skin retainer. The crank is operated, hoisting the animal and pulling it out of its skin.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a fluid pressurizable multiple chamber mattress wherein each chamber is capable of operably receiving and releasing a fluid, comprising a first covering sheet, at least two fabric layers positioned upon the inner surface of the first covering sheet, the inner surfaces of the fabric layers being linked via a plurality of threads, a second covering sheet, a first dielectric weld forming a first and a second fluid pressurizable chamber defined between the outer surfaces of the fabric layers and the inner surfaces of the first and second covering sheets, a second dielectric weld, forming a third fluid pressurizable chamber defined between the inner surfaces of the first and second covering sheets and the inner surfaces of the fabric layers; and at least one fluid valve carried by at least one covering sheet for permitting the pressurization and depressurization of at least one fluid pressurizable chamber.

Abstract: An adjustable kennel provides an enclosure for an animal that is lightweight, expandable and collapsible for storage and travel. The kennel has a semi-rigid frame that can be adjusted for size and an expandable, pliable cover allowing the kennel to be adjusted appropriately for the animal occupying it. When in use, the frame includes slidably expandable support members such that the kennel can accommodate different sized animals or can be adjusted to be used over a long period of time as an animal grows.

Abstract: This invention relates to formulations for the prevention of infection and/or abnormal conditions of mucosae and/or skin caused by any pathogen and/or any disease, and more particularly for the prevention of sexually transmitted infections specially HIV and HSV. This invention also relates to formulations for the treatment of infection and/or abnormal conditions of skin and/or mucosac and more particularly for the treatment of herpetic lesions. The formulations could be used as a prophylactic agent to prevent accidental infection of health care workers. The formulations could be used for the healing and/or treatment of bum wounds and prevention of further infection. This invention also relates to the development of a unique vaginal/ano-rectal applicator for the uniform delivery of any topical formulations to treat and/or prevent any infection and/or abnormal conditions of mucosa cavity caused by any pathogen and/or disease.
