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.

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.

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: A dish rack has a wire frame base, a horizontal wire segment coupled to the wire frame base, and a swinging arm pivotably coupled to the horizontal wire segment. The swinging arm has a plurality of holders and a lock mechanism that removably engages the swinging arm with a portion of the wire frame base.

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.

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: 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: A server provides Web responses that can include content from data tables in a database. The server maintains a cache (e.g., in system memory) that can store content (including content from data tables) so as to increase the efficiency of subsequently providing the same content to satisfy client Web requests. The server monitors data tables for changes and, when a change in a particular data table occurs, invalidates cached entries that depend on a particular data table. Further, in response to a client Web request for a Web response, the server assigns a database cache dependency to at least a portion of a constructed Web response (e.g., to content retrieved from a data table) based on commands executed during construction of the Web response. The at least a portion of the constructed Web response is subsequently cached in a cache location at the server.

Abstract: A garment portion processing assembly receives uncut material to process the material into a desired shape, such as the shape of a shirt collar, and then organize the formed material into separate stacks. The garment portion processing assembly includes a stack queuing assembly, a garment portion cutting apparatus, and a garment receiving assembly. In operation, the stack queuing assembly prepares the stacks of garment portions to be collected by the garment portion cutting apparatus to be processed. The garment portion cutting apparatus then collects the garment portions and processes the garment portions as desired by the user. The garment portion cutting apparatus includes a folding assembly for precisely folding the garment portion in an even manner, a shaping knife assembly treat is used to trim the garment portion according to the desired pattern, and a width knife assembly that makes sure the garment portion has the proper width.

Abstract: An improved method of manufacturing multi-layer thick film circuits that effectively eliminates the trade-off between thickness and definition, permitting dielectric layers of increased thickness with no pin-holes, and at the same time, more precise definition of dielectric features, such as via openings and solder stops. The dielectric features are precisely defined by an initial thin layer of dielectric material, referred to as a feature definition print, or FDP. After the FDP has been dried but not yet fired, a via can be formed by printing a comparatively thick cover layer of dielectric, over-lapping the edges of the FDP. Due to the porous nature of the dried but not fired FDP, it absorbs solvent from the dielectric cover layer, which inhibits the spreading of the dielectric cover layer. The FDP is then co-fired with the first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer may be provided atop the fired first layer to further increase the overall dielectric thickness, if so desired.
