Abstract: A lumber drying kiln includes a first fan assembly located on a first side wall of the kiln and a second fan assembly located on a second side wall opposite the first side wall. The kiln defines an interior drying chamber and the fan of the first fan assembly is operable to push air through the drying chamber while the fan of the second fan assembly is operable to pull air through the drying chamber. The kiln further includes a first vent assembly disposed on the first side wall of the kiln and a second vent assembly disposed on the second side wall of the kiln. The first vent assembly is operable to exhaust air from inside the drying chamber while the second vent assembly is operable to intake air from the outside ambient atmosphere into the drying chamber. The kiln provides a method for seasoning and conditioning wood.

Abstract: An adhesive-based sticker for adhering to a surface and incorporating a pocket between the surface and the sticker for insertion of objects into the pocket and removal therefrom. A sticker substrate is provided with a first section and a flap section with a fold line therebetween. An adhesive is provided on at least a portion of the back surface, and upon folding the flap section at the fold line, the back surface of the flap section is adhered to a portion of the back surface of the first section. When the sticker substrate is applied to a mounting surface, a pocket is formed between the sticker substrate and the mounting surface in registry with at least the portion of the flap section adhered to the first section. The pocket so formed may be bound around the entire perimeter excluding the fold line or may be a through-pocket.
