Abstract: A detachable tray for a ladder includes a container for retaining supplies, a bracket assembly pivotally coupled to the container that is adapted to be releasably secured to the ladder, and a handle pivotally connected to the container to facilitate tray transport. The bracket assembly includes a rung engaging bracket that is movably connected to a base by a pair of transverse threaded members. A gap is defined between the bracket and the base that is dimensioned to fittingly receive one side rail of the ladder, the width of the gap being adjustable to accommodate side rails of varying widths. A support block is slidably coupled to a side of the base by a pair of posts. Together, the base and the support block apply a firm abutment force against the opposite side of the side rail than the bracket, thereby stabilizing the tray in place on the ladder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for creating, maintaining, and participating in an on-line community for education, behavior modification, Smart Cities, eGovernment and sustainable lifestyles. More particularly, this invention is for an on-line open source methodology for multiple participants, taking place in a shared virtual space to enable health education and behavior modification; smart city development and government participation, and living sustainable lifestyles. An important element of this invention is the use of guests, which is a specific player task that represents real world problems, such as those published by government agencies, like the Smart Cities Council.

Abstract: The present invention relates to mutants of lactic acid bacteria which are resistant to the antibiotic ampicillin and which were found to give an increased texture when grown in milk while maintaining the other growth properties of the parent strain. The present invention, furthermore, relates to compositions comprising such mutants, and to dairy products fermented with the lactic acid bacteria resistant to ampicillin.
