Abstract: The present disclosure features methods for modifying fertility. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides contraceptive compositions and methods of using the same.

Abstract: A unified ordering, warehousing, accounting, inventory, sales, delivery and communications system and method. Although the system and method pertain to the furniture operations and sales, the system and method can also be used by different entities in other retail and wholesale operations. The system is accessed over the Internet by the sales representatives, dealers, manufacturers and consumers by mobile sales representatives' laptops, dealers' servers, manufacturers' servers and consumers' computers. The method utilizes the system for all aspects of the furniture industry including handling raw material, organizing inventory and coordinating communications between salespeople, customers and manufacturers.

Abstract: A maximum air flow, minimum space requirement household room air purifier comprising an enclosure arranged to stand on a room floor in a room corner formed by room walls and having a face opening toward the room, an arcuate air purifying HEPA filter, a motorized fan passing room air through said enclosure and said filter in room air purifying relation, and a filter unit comprising a frame carrying the filter for snug interfittment with the enclosure face opening. The filter frame is provided with a reversible self-latch for removably securing the filter to the face opening and a seal against unpurified air by-passing the filter.

Abstract: A die assembly adapted to be attached to one of a wrench first arm and a wrench second arm. The die assembly includes a die having a pipe facing front spaced apart from but parallel to the pipe longitudinal axis, a wrench facing rear, and two spaced apart opposed sides, each connected to the die front and die rear. The die is thick on one side and thin on the other side so that the die facing front has a face that recedes from the pipe from one edge to the other edge so that contact between the die facing front varies depending upon the diameter of the pipe. The die rear also has a convex curve so that the die has a thick mid section.

Abstract: A chain belt construction, a load block therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the chain belt construction comprising a plurality of interleaved sets of links, each set of links having a transversely disposed pivot pin arrangement joining its links to the links of the sets of links adjacent thereto, and a plurality of load blocks respectively interconnected to certain of the sets of links to be carried thereby, each load block having a tubular opening arrangement therein telescopically receiving the pivot pin arrangement of its respective set of links therein to interconnect that load block to its respective set of links.

Abstract: A multiple-RF channel wireless security system has expanded monitoring and control capacity without a concomitant increase in the number of available RF channels. At least one primary condition-responsive monitoring and RF signaling device having a first range of values for the parameter being monitored has an associated secondary condition-responsive monitoring device having a second range of values for the same parameter connected in series with the primary device. The secondary device may operate in conjunction with or independently of the primary device. When operating in conjunction with the primary device, the secondary device supplements the primary device by providing a second range of parameter values, and may, for example, provide back-up or "fail safe" operation of the primary device. When operating independently of the primary device, the secondary device provides expanded monitoring and control capabilities of the security system while preserving the number of RF channels.

Abstract: A continuous, spliceless bias fabric in which the angular displacement between the warp and filling yarns is in the approximate range of 90 to 150 degrees is produced by the steps of cutting a tubular, square-woven fabric at a bias angle of 40-50 degrees to provide a continuous length of fabric, optionally drying the fabric, calendering at least one layer of an elastomeric compound to at least one side of the continuous length of fabric, heating the thus-calendered fabric, stretching the fabric in its width direction to provide a warp to filling angle of about 90-150 degrees, and cooling the stretched fabric.

Abstract: A power transmission belt structure and method of making same are provided wherein such belt structure has substantially its entire periphery covered by an outer fabric layer adjoined by an elastomeric layer with at least a portion of the elastomeric layer and the fabric layer being the only structure defining a tension section of the belt structure.

Abstract: An endless power transmission belt is provided which has a twisted helically wound load-carrying cord provided in its load-carrying section with the twisting of such cord being according to an empirical equation and being substantially greater than in previously proposed belts whereby such belt has improved performance characteristics.
