Abstract: The present invention provides various configurations of the bin and lid portions of waste receptacles for ease of use by residential users, while remaining adaptable to different methods of trash collection and/or waste collection vehicles. The present invention inverts or rearranges the location of the wheels, handlebar, and hinge(s) of the lid from the rear of the bin to the front of the bin; or rearranges the location of the hinge(s) to change the point of attachment of the lid to the bin. The present invention also includes prefabricated lid apparatus for attachment to existing bins via a fastening means or secure mode of connection. The combination of the inverted bin components, and/or rearrangement of the location of the lid hinge(s), and/or the customized lid apparatus result in a new, improved and useful garbage and/or recycling receptacle.

Abstract: Fastener assemblies and nut plate assemblies for fastener assemblies include a nut defining a bore configured to receive a threaded fastener, and a lock member. The assembly has a locked configuration in which the lock member is configured to fix rotation of the threaded fastener relative to the nut and an unlocked configuration in which the threaded fastener is allowed to rotate relative to the nut. The assembly also includes a magnetic component configured to engage the lock member and switch the assembly between the locked configuration and the unlocked configuration.

Abstract: A new crystalline form of rifapentine, the characterization thereof and a method for obtaining same is disclosed. The method for obtaining the new crystalline form includes the steps of adding a mixture of dimethylformamide, tert-butylamine and paraformaldehyde to rifamycin S in the presence of glacial acetic acid; adding paraformaldehyde and heating; subsequently adding 1-amino-4-cyclopentylpiperazine to dimethylformamide; adding ascorbic acid to water; and mixing, filtering and washing the product The yield of raw rifapentine is 87+5% with 99.00% purity.

Abstract: Fastener assemblies and nut plate assemblies include a plate member, a shell member and a floating nut disposed within the shell member and defining a bore configured to receive a threaded fastener. The fastener assemblies and nut plate assemblies also include at least one magnetic component disposed within the shell member and configured to switch the nut plate assembly between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration.

Abstract: A door structure system for a vehicle includes an inner panel, an outer panel, and an outer belt reinforcement member. The outer belt reinforcement member extends in a fore-and-aft direction of the door structure. The outer belt reinforcement member creates an overlap joint with a hem flange portion of the inner panel. The outer belt reinforcement member includes touch-down feature that extends toward the inner panel and into contact with a bearing surface of the inner panel that is stepped down relative to the hem flange portion. The overlap joint and the touch-down feature both contribute to an increased upper frame stiffness of the door structure and improve sealing performance between the door structure and the vehicle body structure.

Abstract: A fastener assembly includes a first lock member including a plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth and a second lock member including a base portion and at least one tab extending axially from the base portion. The at least one tab has a proximal end joined to the base portion and a free end opposite the proximal end. The second lock member further includes a plurality of radially extending teeth on an inner side of the free end of the at least one tab. The second lock member is positionable between a locked configuration in which the plurality of radially extending teeth are configured to engage the plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth and an unlocked configuration in which the plurality of radially extending teeth are spaced from the plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth. The base portion and the at least one tab are a single piece.

Abstract: Fastener assemblies and nut plate assemblies include a plate member, a shell member and a floating nut disposed within the shell member and defining a bore configured to receive a threaded fastener.

Abstract: The present invention refers to the use of the peptide defined by the amino acid sequence G-Y-Y-Y-P-S-D-P-N-T-F-Y-A-P-P-Y-S-A, named GK-1, to be used as an antitumor and antimetastatic agent or for the treatment of cancer, specifically of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma, and preferably for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract: The twist axle assembly includes a pair of trailing arms that are spaced apart from one another in a first direction. The twist axle assembly also includes a twist beam, which has an open shaped cross-sectional shape, that extends in the first direction between a pair of opposing end portions. The open cross-sectional shape of the twist beam includes a base and a pair of side walls. The end portions of the twist beam are fixedly attached with the trailing arms. A pair of beam reinforcements are fixedly attached with the trailing arms and with the base of the twist beam. The beam reinforcements are fixedly attached with the twist beam through at least one of fasteners, adhesives, resistance spot welding, cold metal transfer welding, laser welding, and brazing.

Abstract: A fastener assembly is provided and includes a fastener member and a washer member. The fastener member includes an end, an opposing head, and an elongated threaded body portion extending therebetween. The threaded body defines a center axis. The head includes a pawl arm having a pawl tooth and a flange. The washer member includes an axial aperture formed therethrough and a lock tab extending therefrom. The lock tab is configured to be received within a recess defined in a substrate member to rotationally fix the washer member relative to the substrate member. The washer member further includes a plurality of lock teeth. The pawl tooth is configured to intermesh with the lock teeth to allow rotation of the fastener member relative to the washer member in a first direction about the center axis, and substantially prevent rotation in an opposite second direction about the center axis.

Abstract: A fastener assembly includes a lock nut configured to threadably engage a threaded body portion, and a first lock member including a plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth. The fastener assembly also includes a second lock member including a base portion and at least one tab extending axially from the base portion. The base portion defines an aperture sized to receive the threaded body portion. The at least one tab has a proximal end joined to the base portion and a free end opposite the proximal end.
