Abstract: An improved chafer rack and panel assembly having hingedly attached and removable wind-shield panels connected to integral wire bars of the chafer rack.

Abstract: The present invention teaches novel pharmaceutical compositions, dosing and treatment regimens for ENT infections, such as rhinosinusitis. The compositions can also be used by those without active rhinosinusitis to reduce and remove harmful germ dwelling and colonizing inside the nasal cavity and its surrounding passages, and prevent rhinosinusitis and other infections from happening. In one of the embodiment of the invention, the composition comprises of hydrogen peroxide, zinc chloride and sodium benzoate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plants of the genus Catharanthus containing a broad spectrum genetic resistance to Phytophthora. In particular, the present invention relates to a Catharanthus roseus plant containing a broad spectrum genetic resistance to P. nicotianae.

Abstract: A system for warning of potential collisions among subjects includes devices configured to be transported by the subjects. At least one of the devices may have a device identifier and may include a transceiver configured to transmit radio frequency signals including the device identifier. At least one of the devices may include a processor operably connected to a transceiver configured to receive radio frequency signals. In at least one of the devices, the processor is configured to store another device's identifier in a storage medium, to determine a signal strength of a radio frequency signal received from the other device, and to issue a warning signal based at least in part on at least one of the signal strength and the other device's identifier. The warning signal is configured to warn a subject of a potential collision with another subject.

Abstract: A method for avoiding collisions may include receiving a signal from a device, where the signal includes an identifier of the device transmitting the signal. The method for avoiding collisions may further include determining strength of the signal. The method for avoiding collisions may further include reading from a database a threshold corresponding to an allowable distance to the device. The method for avoiding collisions may further include comparing the threshold to one of the determined strength of the signal and an approximate distance of the device calculated based on the determined strength of the signal. The method for avoiding collisions may further include issuing a collision warning if the one of the determined strength of the signal and the approximate distance of the device exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: A combined instructional tool (10) is provided for imparting theological or other thematic knowledge to a plurality of participants while experientially reinforcing a core principle relating thereto. The tool (10) generally includes a game board (100), a plurality of categorized knowledge stores (200–230), at least one supplemental store (300), and a user-operable selector (400). The game board (100) defines a plurality of spaces (110) which progress between designated starting and end points, wherein at least a portion of the spaces (100) are formed with at least three types of indicia. The question stores (200–230) each include a plurality of predetermined thematic questions for selection and consideration by the participants, whereas the supplemental store (300) includes a plurality of redemptive tokens (3010).

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for controlling pay telephones. In one implementation a system is provided. The system includes a pay telephone coupled to a telephone server using a telephone line. The system also includes a local control unit located in proximity to the pay telephone and coupled between the pay telephone and the telephone server, the signaling unit configured to provide signaling voltages associated with pay telephone operation.
