Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one fender member supported by a vehicle and a tie down member associated with the at least one fender member. The tie down member is movable between a use position and a stowed position.

Abstract: Fiber management assemblies for telecommunications closures. The assembly includes a frame adapted to conform to the wall of a housing piece of a closure. A fiber management tray is pivotally coupled to the frame. The frame supports the tray and spaces the tray away from fiber optic connectors positioned in connector ports defined by the closure. In addition, the pivotability of the tray relative to the frame can provide access to the connectors and/or connector ports without disrupting fiber management on the tray itself.

Abstract: A fluorite synthetic stone comprises: (a) a glass matrix comprising Ca, Si and O, and having a predetermined weight ratio of Ca to Si; and (b) CaF2 crystals dispersed in the glass matrix at a concentration of at least about 70 wt.%. A method of making fluorite synthetic stones includes formulating a particulate mixture comprising: CaF2 crystals at a concentration of at least about 70 wt.%; and an excipient having a predetermined weight ratio of Ca to Si. Aggregates are prepared from the particulate mixture. The aggregates are heat treated to form a plurality of fluorite synthetic stones, where each synthetic stone comprises: a glass matrix comprising Ca, Si and O; and CaF2 crystals dispersed in the glass matrix at a concentration of at least about 70 wt.%.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high solids tint paste that is preferably substantially free of solvents that are volatile organic compounds. Preferably the universal tint paste is 100% solids and substantially free of any solvents. The universal tint paste is formed using a functional silicone resin intermediate that is end-capped with an alcohol, catalyzed to form a silicone resin product and combined with one or more desired pigments. The universal tint paste preferably can be used in a wide variety of solvent-borne and high solids coatings.

Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided a hybrid maize plant, designated as 30A29, produced by crossing two Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. proprietary inbred maize lines. This invention relates to the hybrid seed 30A29, the hybrid plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and trivial modifications of hybrid 30A29. This invention also relates to methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic maize plants produced by that method. This invention further relates to methods for producing maize lines derived from hybrid maize line 30A29 and to the maize lines derived by the use of those methods.

Abstract: A support specially designed to attach a blind case to the underside of a floor/ceiling vault or other kind of wall, allowing protection of the outer side oft he case against strong impacts or blows, without having a negative repercussion on the occupation of space which might create problems due to the case jutting into the inside of the room. The support proposed is formed of a main profile (5), whose general configuration is an “L” shape, made of aluminum, for example, and whose horizontal axis (6) is designed to be adapted to the ceiling or the innerside of the floor/ceiling vault (1), being fitted to same with screws (7) or any other appropriate means, while its vertical axis, which corresponds to reference (5), constitutes a prolonging skirt that goes down the general front plane of the facade.

Abstract: A new system for the immediate joining of lengths of pipe is presented whose characteristics allow the handling of the liquid without leaks or losses, as well as being able to be disassembled in the same way and conserve it once it has been used. The main parts of this new pipe joining system can be summarized in that they consist of a length of pipe whose ends have a different geometry, i.e.
