Abstract: An interlocking slidable assembly useful for movable extensible platforms, such as a movable or sliding floor or plate extension used with the rear cargo areas of a motor vehicle such as a pickup truck. This assembly includes a first and second plurality of rotatable members spaced apart along parallel axes that slidably interlock with the guide members of the rail or rails. Each of the rotatable members is rotatable about a substantially vertical rotational axis and slidably engages the respective guide member of the rail or rails. One of the guide members or the rotatable members have a recess in the periphery thereof to slidably receive the other of the guide and rotatable members. Because the rotatable members rotate about vertical axes, there is better and more even distribution of weight on the weight-bearing surfaces that makes it easier for slidable movement and decreases the amount of wear.

Abstract: A movable storage unit and toilet plunger combination that preferably includes a second toilet accessory such as a toilet brush. The storage unit has an elongated receptacle with an upper end for receiving the plunger and a cover having an aperture therein for releasably receiving a resilient connector. The connector has a bore with an inner wall extending through the connector to releasably secure the handle of the plunger to the connector so that a portion of the handle extends above the connector and the cover. The connector can also have formed therein holders for releasably securing and suspending the second toilet accessory within the receptacle.

Abstract: Ibuprofen-aspirin compounds useful in treating aspirin or ibuprofen-treatable conditions and hydroxymethylacylfulvene analogs useful as antitumor drugs.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel method and an apparatus for implementing the method of inducing a layer of compressive residual stress along the surface of a part comprising the steps of selecting a region of the part to be treated; selecting the magnitude of compression and the residual stress distribution to be induced in the surface of the selected region of the part; exerting pressure against the surface of the selected region, the pressure being applied in a selected pattern along the surface to form zones of deformation having a deep layer of compressive stress; and varying the pressure being exerted against the surface to produce the desired residual stress distribution and magnitude of compression within the surface.

Abstract: A selectively targeted agent comprising a dermatan sulfate having more than about 25% repeating L-iduronic acid→4,6-di-O-sulfated N-acetyl-D-galactosamine disaccharide units that is covalently attached or bonded to a radioactive metal-ion binding moiety. The targeted agent is useful in preparing radiagnostic and/or radiopharmaceutical agents for diagnostic and/or therapeutic treatment when combined with an appropriate radioactive metal ion such as 99mTc, 186Re or 188Re.
