Abstract: A pet restraint device is a device that allows the user to safely and comfortably restrain a pet so that the user can perform the necessary pet care without aid from another person. The device includes a support base, a proximal restraining strap, a distal restraining strap, and an intermediate restraining strap. The support base provides a sturdy structure that accommodates the pet and where the proximal restraining strap, the intermediate restraining strap, and the distal restraining strap can be securely attached to. The proximal restraining strap, the intermediate restraining strap, and the distal restraining strap enable the user to restrain the pet to the support base in a safe manner without covering the pet's body so that the user can have easier access to the pet's body. The proximal restraining strap, the intermediate restraining strap, and the distal restraining strap can be adjusted to match the pet's body.

Abstract: This invention is a vehicle for the transportation of construction materials in hard to reach areas, which includes: a chassis composed of transverse and lateral axles; tires to transport the vehicle; a transmission system; a steering and speed control system; a pair of fixed posts on the chassis, arranged vertically and parallel to each other, to form an area where a means to contain the construction material to be transported is placed. Where the building materials are cement, concrete, reinforced concrete, lime and sand mixtures, blocks, and bricks, among others.

Abstract: A novel admixture for mineral binders is composed of a polyol composition with a high hydrogenated disaccharide content (≧40%). The hydrogenated disaccharide is advantageously chosen from maltitol, lactitol and mixtures thereof. Within the admixture, the polyol composition (for example, maltitol powder, a maltitol syrup or a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate) may be combined with conventional admixtures for mineral binders, particularly lignosulfonates. The hydrogenated disaccharides make it possible to obtain an excellent compromise between retardation, plasticity and the mechanical properties of the mineral binder. They may be used equally well for admixing with cements and raw materials for cements as for admixing with mortars, slurries and concretes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new plaster, coating or adhesive composition based on plaster, containing an amylaceous compound. The amylaceous compound used according to the invention consists of a cationic amylaceous compound having, characteristically, a fixed nitrogen content at least equal to about 0.15% and a solubility in water at least equal to about 50%.
