Abstract: A vehicle door is disclosed that includes: an outer panel; an inner panel located inboard of the outer panel; a window channel; a window glass; a structural beam; and a reinforcement member supported by the inner panel and the structural beam so as to inhibit force transmission through the vehicle door during a side impact. The window glass is movable within a window slot collectively defined by the outer panel and the inner panel. The window channel is supported by the inner panel, extends in generally orthogonal relation to the window slot, and is configured to receive the window glass such that the window glass is movable therethrough. The structural beam is supported by the inner panel and defines a longitudinal axis. The structural beam is configured such that the longitudinal axis extends in generally parallel relation to the window slot and in generally orthogonal relation to the window channel.

Abstract: An agricultural formulation for stimulating growth and/or increasing crop yields and/or protecting crops against diseases and pests, including at least one bacterial strain of B. safensis having deposit number RGM 2450 and/or a bacterial strain of B. siamensis having deposit number RGM 2529 and excipients for agricultural use. The composition serves as a crop bioprotector and/or biocontroller. A method for stimulating growth and/or increasing crop yields and/or protecting crops against diseases and pests is also related.

Abstract: An elongated lockable rainproof storage container for use transversely at the forward end of a bed of a pickup truck ahead of typical wheel wells to store and protect tools or other valuable personal items. The container has a horizontal bottom to rest on the bed floor, a first vertical rear wall and two vertical end walls fixed relative to the bottom, and a vertically extending fourth wall facing the pickup tailgate. These four walls are of equal height and support in sealed relationship a top rainproof container closure. An elongated rectangular swingable panel forming a large portion of the fourth wall is connected along its lower long edge to the container bottom by an elongated continuous flexible waterproof plastic hinge permitting the panel to swing about ninety degrees inwardly from a vertical wall position to a horizontal floor position lying atop the container bottom where it provides a load supporting upper surface parallel to the bed floor.
