Abstract: In one aspect, a data storage device carrier (10) has a bay in which a data storage device can be received. A light pipe (11) is provided for conveying light from one end of the carrier (10) to the other. A diffuser (16) is located near to but spaced from said other end of the light pipe (11) so as to spread and thereby magnify light emerging from said other end of the light pipe (11). In another aspect, a data storage device chassis (1) has a plurality of walls (3,4,20). At least some of the walls (3,4,20) have at least one runner (21) along at least part of the length of the wall (3,4,20) to define a plurality of bays in which data storage devices can be housed. At least one runner (21) has a transparent portion so as to be able to convey light from a light source (9) to the front of the chassis (1). In another aspect, a data storage device carrier (10 or chassis (1) has a strip of electroluminescent material (31) for displaying information.

Abstract: Various arrangements of carrier trays and carriers for data storage devices, such as disk drives, are disclosed. The carrier trays and carriers have air flow holes that are carefully arranged to promote good air flow across the data storage devices. In one example, the air holes in a tray are arranged so that, when a data storage device is received on the tray, air passing over a first surface of the base from the forward end can pass through the base, over a part of a second surface and back through the base to flow across the recess typically located under the data storage device.

Abstract: Various arrangements of carrier trays and carriers for data storage devices, such as disk drives, are disclosed. The arrangements of carrier trays and carriers are arranged to be rigid, and therefore more resistant to vibration arising from operation of the data storage device in the tray and neighbouring data storage devices, and/or easier to use.

Abstract: A soap dispensing assembly has a container housing having an interior that retains soap. The container housing has an opening which communicates with the interior. A pump unit secured to the top of the container housing at a location separate from the opening. The pump unit includes a dispensing assembly through which soap from the interior is dispensed. A lid that is removably coupled to the opening to allow for a quick replenishment of the soap without having to remove the pump unit. The pump unit can also include an actuator that has a soap outlet, with the actuator is pivoted to draw soap from the interior of the container housing to the soap outlet.

Abstract: A dish rack has a stationary first rack portion and a second rack portion pivotably coupled to the first rack portion. The second rack portion can be adjusted to occupy a plurality of different positions with respect to the first rack portion. A pivoting mechanism couples the second rack portion to the first rack portion.

Abstract: A paper towel holder facilitates tearing of paper towels from a continuous roll of paper towels supported on the holder, and prevents excessive unraveling of the roll. A portable paper towel holder has a vertical pole and a base having an annular rim of uneven height. The uneven annular rim provides the combination of tall and short sections to balance between effectively holding the towel from excess unraveling, and facilitating ease of tearing of paper towel pieces from the roll. A releasable handle is provided at the distal end of the pole to securely retain the paper towel roll on the vertical pole. The handle is provided with recessed releasing buttons for releasing the handle from the pole. Another embodiment provides a paper towel holder that is structured for mounting to a vertical surface. A spring is provided to provide a bias in the axial direction of the roll.

Abstract: A dish rack assembly has a dish rack, and a base having a bottom wall on which the dish rack is positioned. The base includes a first edge having a first water outlet provided adjacent the first edge, and a second edge having a second water outlet provided adjacent the second edge. The second edge is adjacent to the first edge. A removable water stopper can be secured to either the first water outlet or the second water outlet. In addition, a first leg can be positioned adjacent a third edge that is opposite to the first edge, and a second leg can be positioned adjacent a fourth edge that is opposite to the second edge.

Abstract: Aryl- and heteroaryl-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: A dish rack has a collector tray, with the collector tray having a compartment. A retaining block is seated in the compartment and has at least one elongated slot. The sharp edge (e.g., blade) of a sharp object (e.g., knife) can be inserted through the slot and be shielded from the user by the retainer block.

Abstract: In one aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). A runner (25) is provided on at least one side wall (23,24) for sliding engagement with a runner (12) of a chassis (1) in which the carrier (10) is in use mounted. The carrier runner (25) is on the edge of the at least side wall (23,24) that is opposite the base (22). The width of the carrier runner (25) generally transverse to the side wall (23,24) is greater than the thickness of the at least one side wall (23,24). In another aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). The material of the carrier (10) is resilient. The carrier (10) is arranged such that the carrier (10) can grip a data storage device between the side walls (23,24).

Abstract: A container for storing and dispensing plastic bags and process for manufacturing the same. The container includes a front panel extending from the top of the container to the bottom of the container and having a substantially smooth surface with no sharp bents. The container includes a funnel-shaped aperture for facilitating insertion of the plastic bags into the container in a compact and collapsed form. One embodiment of the container has a flat profile that allows the container to be mounted to a vertical surface in a space-saving manner and that helps minimize entanglement as more bags are inserted into the container. The container also includes an access opening for dispensing the plastic bags. Another embodiment of the container is a free-standing structure having a base that can be rested on a horizontal surface.
