Abstract: An undermount drawer slide mounting clip releasably attaches a drawer to a drawer rail assembly mounted in a cabinet carcass. The apparatus is capable of effecting positional adjustments of the drawer in three directions without removing the drawer from the cabinet carcass. The apparatus is comprised of a body slidingly engaged with a bonnet. A trigger pivotally connected between the body and the bonnet. A spring loaded catch slidable within the bonnet and acted on by the trigger to releasably attach the apparatus to a drawer rail assembly. A threaded spindle rotates within the base and adjusts the horizontal position of the drawer. A ramp adjustably connected to the base adjusts the vertical position of the drawer. A plunger extends from a housing connected to the body to adjacent the drawer rail assembly and adjusts the depth of the drawer.

Abstract: A device for use with a bed having a frame and a supporting surface includes a flexible sheet with a tether strap connected to the sheet and extending from the sheet. The flexible sheet has opposed top and bottom surfaces, with the top surface having a high friction material with a higher coefficient of friction as compared to the bottom surface, which includes a low friction material. The tether strap is configured for connection to the frame of the bed to secure the sheet in place. A system incorporating the flexible sheet may also include an absorbent pad configured to be placed on the top surface of the sheet, where the high-friction top surface resists sliding of the absorbent pad, as well as one or more wedges having a base wall that the wedge rests on and a ramp surface configured to confront the sheet when the wedge is placed under the sheet. The base wall and the ramp surface may also contain high friction and low friction materials, respectively.

Abstract: A drawer slide apparatus mounted to a drawer slide assembly for moving a drawer slidingly within a cabinet provides push-to-open and soft close functionality while further providing a depth and alignment adjustment of the drawer relative to the cabinet carcass. The apparatus comprises a housing including a soft close track, a damper, and a carriage slidable within the soft close track. A guide block comprising a set of channels within a stationary part and a movable part for providing the depth and alignment adjustment. A pin, slidable within the carriage, has a first end engaged with the soft close track and a second end simultaneously engaged with the guide block provides the soft close and push-to-open functionalities.

Abstract: Disclosed is a mounting point locator tool for positioning a bracket of a drawer slide assembly such that the drawer slide assembly is square with the face frame of a cabinet carcass. The locator tool comprises a base perpendicularly extending from a first end of a rod. A bracket holding fixture is connected to a second end of the rod. In one embodiment, the base, the rod, and the fixture are ridgidly connected. In an alternate embodiment, the base is comprised of a sleeve extending generally perpendicular from a planar plate and slidingly engaged with the rod. The sleeve includes a pair of sides connected at a right angle for alignment with the face frame. The fixture includes a pair of prongs having edges spaced a predetermined distance and a set of slots having a predetermined width for releasably securing the bracket.

Abstract: A non-woven flame retardant barrier comprising a binder; and a plurality of charring fibers combinable with the binder. The charring fibers include treated viscose fibers, wherein the charring fibers are substantially free of polymers made from halogenated monomers, consist essentially of fibers exclusively having a denier of from 1.5 to 3.5, and provide a fire-blocking web upon exposure to a heat source. The barrier has a basis weight of approximately from 0.25 to 0.65 osf.

Abstract: An inventive apparatus that integrates the operation of a hard disk emulator and a cryptographic accelerator on a single blade server card. An application with cryptographic operations can off load computationally intensive calculations to the cryptographic accelerator so that the speed at which the application performs actions can be increased significantly. Typically, the hard disk emulator is a flash memory component and the accelerator can perform at least modular exponentiation calculations. One bus is employed for communication between the hard disk emulator and the accelerator. Another bus is employed to communicate with other resources off the card. Often, the card is configured to operate as one of a several blade servers in a chassis.

Abstract: A method for ensuring hand hygiene compliance may include tracking dispensing of a plurality hand hygiene dispensers having hand sanitizer. Each hand hygiene dispenser can be associated with an individual user. A processor may determine dispensing rates of the plurality of hand hygiene dispensers for a plurality of predetermined time periods and each of the plurality of the hand hygiene dispensers is identified with an individual user. The average dispensing rate can be calculated taking a predetermined number of highest dispensing rates out of the plurality of predetermined time periods. The rates can be displayed to the users, and the users can be notified of proper hand hygiene compliance or if the average dispensing rate falls below a target threshold rate.
