Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa), which originated from seed produced by a hand-pollinated cross between FL 96-114 and FL 95-200. The new strawberry, named ‘Florida Elyana’, is distinguished by production of large, firm, exceptionally flavored fruit and resistance to crown and fruit rots when grown in west central Florida or other areas that have a subtropical climate similar to that of west central Florida.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa), which originated from seed produced by a hand-pollinated cross between FL 93-103 and FL 95-316. The new strawberry, named ‘Winter Dawn’, is distinguished by high November through February production of fruit that are medium to large in size and moderately resistant to Botrytis and anthracnose fruit rot diseases when grown in Dover, Florida or other areas that have a subtropical climate similar to that of Dover.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for the self-checkout of secured items from a lending or sales establishment. A self-checkout system may be configured to determine a patron's eligibility to checkout items. Subsequently, the system may be configured to determine whether an item wished to be checked out by a patron is stored in a secure locked case. The present invention provides means for allowing the patron to unlock the secure locked case without the need of library staff assistance. A blocking mechanism is provided which controls access to the unlocking mechanism such that a patron may only unlock a secure locked case when authorized to do so by the system.

Abstract: A new and distinct short-day strawberry cultivar is provided. Attractive medium-sized generally conical to cordiform and short wedge-shaped fruit is formed in good yields. The fruit flesh is firm, sweet and flavorful. The fruit is glossy bright red on the outside and medium red on the inside. Resistance to Fusarium Wilt is displayed. The fruiting pattern and yield are similar to the ‘Sweet Charlie’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,729) and ‘Strawberry Festival’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 14,739) cultivars and earlier than the ‘Camarosa’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,708). A highly flavorable fruit Brix/Acid balance is displayed.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa), which originated from seed produced by a hand-pollinated cross between ‘Rosa Linda’ and FL 93-53. The new strawberry, named ‘Carmine’, is distinguished by high December through February production of fruit that are firm, deep red, glossy and moderately resistant to Botrytis and anthracnose fruit rot diseases when grown in Dover, Fla. or other areas that have a subtropical climate similar to that of Dover.

Abstract: An electrical outlet box which is mounted to a wall stud and having a support leg to prevent deflection of the box by abutment against a wall board attached to the stud. The electrical outlet box includes a back wall which is perimeterically bounded by an outer wall extending outwardly therefrom. The box includes a box interior for accommodating an electrical receptacle or similar component. The support leg is frangibly connected to the outlet box. The outlet box includes a slot adapted to receive the support leg upon frangible removal of the support leg from the outlet box. The support leg once installed in the slot provides a brace which prevents rotational movement of the outlet box.

Abstract: An adaptor assembly makes it possible to mount an electric fixture, such as a ceiling fan or electric lighting fixture, to a ceiling with a slope greater than 32.degree.. The adaptor assembly includes a slope angle extension cover formed as a truncated conical surface with a bottom end lying in a first plane adapted for attachment to a standard fixture canopy and a top end lying in a second plane at an angle of 26.degree. to the first plane and adapted to be attached through an adaptor mounting plate to a junction box mounted in a recess in the ceiling.The mounting plate has a plurality of radial slots and is rotated to bring a pair of slots in alignment with screw holes in mounting lugs on the junction box for attachment with screws. The mounting plate has a pair of deformations providing flat wall portions which, when the mounting plate is installed are in parallel to the bottom end of the extension cover.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa), which originated from seed produced by a hand-pollinated cross between ‘Winter Dawn’ and FL 99-35. The new strawberry, named ‘Florida Radiance’, is distinguished by high December through March production of fruit that are large, firm, glossy, and resistant to anthracnose fruit rot when grown in west central Florida or other areas that have a subtropical climate similar to that of west central Florida.
