Abstract: A device to deter an animal from resting on furniture having a seating area comprises one or more sections of a rigid half-tubular form to be placed on the seating area, backrest, arm, and/or side of the furniture wherein the sections have a combined length to span approximately a width of the seating area, backrest, arm, or side. The half-tubular form can have the shape of an inverted half-cylindrical shape, a rectangular shape, a triangular shape, or a non-uniform relief shape wherein flat edges of the form are placed on the seating area, backrest, arm, or side of the furniture.

Abstract: A method and software implementation for spatial pattern analysis. A user-guided test procedure is implemented to measure features of an antenna under test to determine the antenna's far-field patterns. The antenna features include RF amplitude or phase, and position and orientation relative to a receiving object.

Abstract: A particulate material for delivering an active ingredient and a method for making the same is provided. The particulate material can be included in a solid dosage form to provide both high tablet strength and smooth-dissolving mouth-feel. The particulate material includes at least two low moldability sugars, such as, dextrose and sucrose, in an amount of from about 70% to about 100% of the particulate material and is granulated in the presence of a binding agent.

Abstract: An alarm pillow and associated method includes a pillow with an opening at a proximal end thereof, a core member, and an outer layer positioned thereabout. A cavity is formed between the core member and the outer layer respectively. The cavity has an open end defined along the proximal opening of the pillow, and a closed distal end seated medially of the proximal end and a distal end of the pillow respectively. A portable electronic alarm device is removably positioned within the cavity. The device has a planar top surface with a user interface, and a planar bottom surface extending parallel to the top surface. The device is slidably positional through the proximal opening of the cavity and abuts against the distal end of the cavity.

Abstract: The molecules and methods of the present invention provide a means for in vivo production of a trans-spliced molecule in a selected subset of cells. The pre-trans-splicing molecules of the invention are substrates for a trans-splicing reaction between the pre-trans-splicing molecules and a pre-mRNA that is uniquely expressed in the specific target cells. The in vivo trans-splicing reaction provides a novel mRNA that is functional as mRNA or encodes a protein to be expressed in the target cells. The expression product of the mRNA is a protein of therapeutic value to the cell or host organism, a toxin that kills the specific cells or a novel protein not normally present in such cells. The invention further provides PTMs that have been genetically engineered for the identification of exon/intron boundaries of pre-mRNA molecules using an exon tagging method.

Abstract: A novel flooring composition was developed based on a blend comprising: a) an elastomer; b) a random propylene/alpha-olefin copolymer; c) a cross linking agent; and optionally d) a melt strength enhancing polymer. This composition achieves a unique balance of properties, exhibiting often-conflicting performance requirements. These include low gloss and excellent pattern duplication in embossing, low modulus, minimal odor, excellent grain acceptance and abrasion resistance, while remaining thermoformable and maintaining minimal shift in viscosity during recycle.

Abstract: A method for producing a new composition of matter from nuisance plastics, i.e., spent or used plastic products by the combination during a heating process of shredded waste plastic materials with controlled amounts of certain ingredients including fats, sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO.sub.3) and sand comprising crushed mineral particles.
