Abstract: A power interruption protection module, system and method. The power interruption protection module, comprising a charging module for storing a boosted display voltage, a detecting module for identifying at least one of a drop or an increase of a functioning system voltage, wherein at least one of the drop or the increase is beyond a threshold, and a regulating module for receiving a signal from the detecting module, wherein the signal determines at least one of the drop or the increase beyond the threshold, and wherein the regulating module allows or stops the flow of the stored boosted display voltage of the charging module according to the signal of the detecting module.

Abstract: An apparatus and method define the concept of a “database breakpoint.” One or more conditions in the database are specified as a database breakpoint in a debug environment for debugging a computer program that accesses the database. When the database conditions exist, one or more debug functions may be performed with respect to the execution of the computer program. Examples of debug functions include halting execution of the computer program and halting operations to the database by other programs. With both the computer program and database halted, the user may then interrogate the database to determine its state, and may interrogate the program to determine its state. Database breakpoints greatly enhance the utility of a debugger by providing additional conditions for debugging a computer program that accesses a database.

Abstract: Androgen receptor-based vaccines for eliciting an immune reaction in vivo against cells expressing androgen receptor are disclosed. The vaccines are useful in the treatment of prostate cancer. Also disclosed are methods for inducing immune reaction to androgen receptor or treating prostate cancer in a mammal, using the vaccines and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the vaccines.

Abstract: A directional controller for a device is provided. The directional controller consists of keypad contacts, a keyboard, and a button. The keypad contacts are on a printed circuit board. The keyboard has more than four keys and each key is disposed adjacent to one of the keypad contacts. The button is operable for pivoting engagement with the more than four keys to promote contact between the more than four keys and the adjacent one of the keypad contacts.

Abstract: A lock apparatus for a chain grab hook comprises a locking member adapted to be pivotally attached to the clevis of the chain grab hook about a pivot element located between a mid-point of the locking member and the top surface of the clevis. When installed, a bias element is operative to exert a bias force on the locking member urging the front end of the locking member to pivot upward to a closed position wherein the front end of the locking member extends into the open end of the jaw a sufficient distance to prevent a chain link engaged in the jaw from moving out of the open end of the jaw. The front end of the locking member can be pushed downward against the bias force to an open position to release the chain link from the jaw.

Abstract: A method for delivery of a phytochemical supplement to a corporeal body. The method of delivery comprises providing a phytochemical supplement in an orally acceptable composition and applying the orally acceptable composition including the phytochemical supplement in contact with a feature of the oral cavity of a corporeal body. An oral care composition comprising a phytochemical supplement for one or more of ingestion or trans-mucosal absorption and a method for making the same are also disclosed.

Abstract: A hitch apparatus includes a hitch member defining a draw pin hole. A hole adjusting member is movably attached to the hitch member such that a front end of the hole adjusting member can be moved forward and rearward, and a threaded actuator is operative, when rotated in a first direction, to move the front end of the hole adjusting member forward to decrease a distance between a front edge of the pin hole and the front end of the hole adjusting member, and is operative, when rotated in a second direction, to move the front end of the hole adjusting member rearward to increase the distance between the front edge of the pin hole and the front end of the hole adjusting member.

Abstract: A foaming oral care composition of two parts; namely, a vinegar part, and a baking soda part. Also included are alternative additional components such as lemon oil, orange oil, xanthan gum or an oxidizing whitener such as hydrogen peroxide or sodium chlorite. Methods for making and using such an oral care composition are included as well.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment determine whether a block of code associated with a copy-and-paste operation or a punch-out operation has a size greater than a threshold. If the size is greater than the threshold, then a method is created and the block of code is pasted into the method. Also, an invocation to the newly created method is added at the copied-from location and the intended pasted-to location (in the case of the copy-and-paste operation) or an invocation to the newly created method is added at the copied-from location (in the case of the punch-out operation). In this way, future modifications to the block of code need only be made in one place: the method, instead of at all locations where duplicate code exists. Thus, embodiments of the invention may reduce the fragility of the code.

Abstract: A distance measuring device having a wheel, a frame, and a distance counter on the frame. The wheel has a radius and an exposed surface that can be rolled against a surface on which a distance measurement is to be taken. The wheel is mounted upon the frame for rotation around a first axis. The distance counter is actuated by the wheel. The frame has an elongate operating arm projecting away from the wheel. The frame has a mounting portion to which the wheel is mounted for rotation. The elongate operating arm is pivotable relative to the mounting portion between an operating state and a store state.

Abstract: A transport drawbar for an agricultural tractor has an elongate forward drawbar section of substantially uniform rectangular cross section that mounts on the tractor in the conventional way. An elongate second drawbar section extends to the rear from the forward section. The second drawbar section has the same vertical thickness as the forward drawbar section and a substantially greater width. A trailing drawbar section extends to the rear from the second drawbar section, the trailing drawbar section having the same vertical thickness as the forward and second sections and a width substantially the same as the width of the forward section. Two tapering transition sections are provided between the second drawbar section and the forward and trailing drawbar sections respectively. Two angular offsets are formed in the second drawbar section such that the trailing drawbar section is parallel to and offset downwardly from the second drawbar section.
