Abstract: A method includes forming a mesh member, forming hinges in the mesh member to form a blank, placing the blank into a mold, and forming a product from the mesh member in the mold. The mesh member comprises a set of filaments of polymeric material, where at least two members of the set of filaments are looped and bonded to each other.

Abstract: A seat assembly and method of assembly. The seat assembly comprises a frame, a cushion, and a fastening arrangement. The cushion is disposed on the frame and comprises a mesh member comprising a set of filaments of polymeric material. The fastening arrangement extends through the aperture in the frame and secures the cushion to the frame.

Abstract: An assembly and method of manufacture. The assembly comprises a first mesh member, a second mesh member, and an adhesive. The first and second mesh members comprise first and second sets of filaments of polymeric material, respectively. The adhesive is adhered to the first mesh member and the second mesh member.

Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more benzodiazepine drugs for nasal administration, methods for producing and for using such compositions.

Abstract: A window defroster system for a heated hunting blind or similar small structure in cold weather conditions. The system includes one or more repositionable heater assemblies powered by a portable power supply such as a battery, battery pack or generator, and including a backer bar for each heater assembly. The backer bars have magnets positioned so as to correspond to magnets in the heater assemblies, enabling the heater assemblies to be attached to the windows.

Abstract: Usability of a heated hunting blind or similar small structure in cold weather conditions is improved by providing a low cost and easily repositionable window defroster powered by a portable power supply such as a battery, battery pack or generator.

Abstract: A product includes a filament mesh member, a trim cover, and a hook and loop fastening system. The filament mesh member comprises a set of filaments of thermoplastic material, wherein each member of the set of filaments is bonded to at least one other member of the set of filaments. The trim cover is disposed over the filament mesh member. The hook and loop fastening system comprises a loop portion and a hook portion. One of the loop portion and the hook portion is attached to the filament mesh member. The other of the loop portion and the hook portion is attached to the trim cover. The loop portion and the hook portion cooperate to secure the trim cover to the filament mesh member.

Abstract: The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more benzodiazepine drugs for nasal administration, methods for producing and for using such compositions.
