Abstract: A juicer arrangement comprises a motor-driven appliance (1), capable of extracting juice from fruit, and a vessel (10) for receiving the juice. The appliance has a tubular outlet duct (9) through which juice can flow; the duct consisting of an inner portion (12) that is fixed to the appliance (1) and an outer portion (13) which can be rotated, relative to the inner portion (12), about the longitudinal axis (12a) of the tubular outlet duct (9). Near the outlet end of the outer portion (13) of the outlet duct there is provided a chordally-extending internal wall (15), configured such that, in one rotational position of the outer portion (13) of the duct relative to the inner portion (12), the wall (15) is positioned to act as an anti-dripping dam member to resist liquid flow through the outlet duct (9). In another rotational position of the outer portion (13) of the duct relative to the inner portion (12), the wall (15) is inverted, leaving a gap through which juice can be dispensed.

Abstract: A wand-like tool (20) for a hand blender comprises an elongate, tubular housing (22) containing a rotatable drive shaft (23). The tool is adapted at one end to permit the shaft (23) to pick up rotary drive from a hand-held driver unit, and carries a foodstuff-processing head at its other end; the processing head comprising a bladed member (26), coupled to the shaft (23) and having at least three blades (32a, 32b, 32c). The bladed member rotates within a processor head housing (27) having a tubular side-wall (30) formed with a roof (36) where the processor head housing (27) joins the tubular shaft housing (22) and being open at its opposite end, and the internal surface (38) of the side-wall (30) bears protrusions (40) facing the tips of the blades (32a, 32b, 32c). Each protrusion (40) presents a respective bluff body to foodstuffs flowing past it.

Abstract: Substituted urea compounds useful in the treatment of diseases and conditions related to DNA damage or lesions in DNA replication are disclosed. Methods of making the compounds, and their use as therapeutic agents, for example, in treating cancer and other diseases characterized by defects in DNA replication, chromosome segregation, or cell division, also are disclosed.

Abstract: An illuminated display device with a base member with a plurality of cavities therein. Illumination devices illuminate the cavities and emit light through an opening of the cavities in a pattern, and a speaker can emit sounds in synchronization with the pattern. A panel with translucent portions can overly the base member and the cavities. An animated talking character can have an animated mouth cavity complex with multiple predetermined mouth lighting configurations simulative of human utterances. The cavities can be open, or optical waveguide material or positive members can be disposed therein. Reflective material can enhance internal reflectance and light emission.

Abstract: The present invention provides filled aqueous caulk and sealant compositions made from high solids aqueous binders chosen from copolymers having a mixture of backbone acid and hydroxyl groups that are copolymerized from 0.5 to 7.5 wt. %, based on total monomer weight, of an hydroxyl group containing monomer, and mixed backbone acid copolymers that are copolymerized from methacrylic acid (MAA) with a second acid monomer having a lower pKa than the pKa of MAA. Preferred, compositions comprise one or more organosilane exhibit the adhesion and joint movement capability required by ASTM C-920-08, as well as good weatherability and aged wet adhesion to glass, even at a filler to binder ratio of 0.2:1 to 4:1.
