Abstract: A laminate includes a first glass article having a first thickness, a first annealing point (TA1), and a first softening point (TS1), a second glass article having a second thickness, a second annealing point (TA2), and a second softening point (TS2), and an interlayer disposed between the first glass article and the second glass article. The first thickness is greater than the second thickness, the second annealing point (TA2) is less than or equal to the first annealing point (TA1), and the second softening point (TS2) is greater than the first softening point (TS1).

Abstract: A sock comprising a toe section, a heel section, and a mid-section between the toe section and the heel section, wherein the mid-section has a foot bottom portion and a foot upper or instep portion, and wherein at least a part of the foot bottom portion is knit from two or more different yarn types used in an alternating sequence along the longitudinal direction of the mid-section, wherein the different yarn types have different stretch properties. By using the different yarn types in the foot bottom or sole portion between the toe and heel section in an alternating sequence along the longitudinal direction of the mid-section in combination, one can create a sock which has a higher stretch characteristic than other socks.

Abstract: The present invention provides devices, kits, and methods for temporarily stopping an automatic flushing assembly on a toilet or urinal from activating. The device may be placed over or on the sensor assembly of the toilet to temporarily block the sensor assembly from sensing the user. In preferred aspects, the device is composed of a material that the user is able to flush down the toilet or urinal such that when the user is finished, the device may be removed and disposed of directly into the toilet or urinal.

Abstract: A shaving blade unit including a housing, at least one elongated blade having a cutting edge on the housing, an elongated guard on the housing in front of the blade, and an elongated cap on the housing behind the blade. The guard includes an elongated guard strip for delivering a shaving aid and elastomeric guard fins extending laterally beyond the ends of the guard strip. The guard can also include elastomeric material including a series of depressions. The cap can also include elastomeric cap fins on both sides of the cap strip extending laterally beyond the ends of the cap strip.
