Abstract: A liquid monitoring system includes a remote measurement device located at a location of the fire hydrant that is in contact with water provided by a water main. The remote measurement device has sensors that measure characteristics of the water and a communication interface that transmits measured information to a communication network device that may be located elsewhere on the fire hydrant. The communication network device communicates with a communication network.

Abstract: A single-dose package that provides an appropriate amount of flavoring and an orally active germicide such as household bleach or sodium hypochlorite useful for a single batch of water-flosser rinse. The mixture eliminates the taste that occurs. It uses a mixture of an orally active germicide mixed with a flavoring such as mint, peppermint, wintergreen, anise, clove, eucalyptus, lemon, lime, honey, honey lemon, red fruit, grapefruit, orange, grape, cherry, cherry cola, berry, or cinnamon. Some mixtures include fluoride. Single-serve packaging helps water-flosser users receive appropriate amounts of bleach. The mixture can contain other excipients, solid or liquid carriers, and can come in powder, granule, gel, liquid, or tablet form. Other useful orally active germicides include glutaraldehyde, chlorhexidine, diamines, alexidine, phenols, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, acridines, silver compounds, halogens, silver ions, hexachlorophene, benzalkonium chloride, and their mixtures.

Abstract: Energy absorbing wall assemblies, structures including energy absorbing wall assemblies, methods of making energy absorbing wall assemblies, and methods of utilizing energy absorbing wall assemblies are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, energy absorbing wall assemblies may include a first self-supporting wall structure, a second self-supporting wall structure, and an energy absorbing filler material positioned between the first self-supporting wall structure and the second self-supporting wall structure. In additional embodiments, methods of making an energy absorbing wall assembly may include assembling a first self-supporting wall structure, and assembling a second self-supporting wall structure defining a space between the first self-supporting wall structure and the second self-supporting wall structure. The methods may further include flowing an energy absorbing filler material into the space between the first self-supporting wall structure and the second self-supporting wall structure.

Abstract: Fence columns, fences including such columns, and related methods of fence assembly and disassembly are disclosed. A column for a column and panel fence may include an elongated member, column faces, and a cross-piece. The elongated member may have a first end and a second end, and the first end may be secured to a footing. A first column face and an opposing second column face may form at least one channel therebetween sized and configured to receive an end portion of at least one fence panel. The cross-piece may have a first end coupled to the first column face, a second end coupled to the second column face and an intermediate portion coupled to the second end of the elongated member. Additionally, the cross-piece and the elongated member may be held in tension by the footing, the first column face and the second column face.

Abstract: Antibacterial compounds, compositions containing them, and methods of use for the inhibition of bacterial activity and the treatment, prevention or inhibition of bacterial infection.

Abstract: A method for constructing a column and panel concrete fence which includes two or more columns, each of which comprises two portions which are separated from one another along one or more planes that are essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the column. A first half of a column is placed upon each of two or more footings. Then the ends of concrete panels which run between successive columns are placed upon such footings. Preferably, the panels are composed of two or more panel units which are mirror images of one another. Next a second half of each column is placed upon each of the footings. And, as a final step, concrete is poured into the resultant column.

Abstract: The disclosure generally provides proteins that bind two epitopes (e.g., a first and a second epitope) and that are bivalent for binding to each of the first and second epitopes. The disclosure also provides for specific binding proteins, including antibodies, which bind to a target protein. The disclosure also provides compositions comprising such proteins, nucleic acid molecules encoding such proteins and methods of making such proteins. The disclosure provides methods of inducing an immune response in a subject as well as methods for treating or preventing cancer in a subject by administering the proteins, nucleic acid molecules and/or compositions to the subject.
