  • Publication number: 20150375983
    Abstract: A drip collection device collects and contains drippings from a vehicle, such as water, dirt and like material. The device includes a container having a bottom wall and a perimeter wall coupled to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall defining an interior space configured for holding drippings from a vehicle when the vehicle is positioned above the container. A panel is coupled to and extends across the container. The panel has a top surface defining a platform spaced above the bottom wall configured for receiving the vehicle thereon. The panel has a plurality of drain holes extending therein configured for permitting the drippings from the vehicle to pass into the interior space. A ramp is coupled to a first end of the panel. The ramp slants upwardly toward the panel to permit the vehicle to be driven upwardly onto the platform.

  • Patent number: 6610759
    Abstract: An adhesive composition that includes a mixture of a cationically polymerizable component, an acidic component, and an initiator is provided. Preferably, the initiator comprises an iodonium salt, a visible light sensitizer, and an electron donor compound, wherein the initiator has a photoinduced potential greater than or equal to that of N,N-dimethylaniline in a standard solution of 2.9×10−5 moles/g diphenyl iodonium hexafluoroantimonate and 1.5×10−5 moles/g camphorquinone in 2-butanone. This adhesive composition is cationically polymerizable and is able to bond to hard tissue and cationic restorative materials upon curing.

  • Patent number: 4986817
    Abstract: A safety device for uncapping and recapping a removable protective sheath of a needle includes a cylindrical elongated enclosure. The cylindrical elongated enclosure includes first and second ends and a diameter of sufficient size for receiving and enclosing the sheath. Retaining structure is disposed at the first end of the cylindrical elongated enclosure for grasping and retaining the sheath within the cylindrical elongated enclosure during uncapping and recapping of a needle. Receiving structure communicates with the first end of the cylindrical elongated enclosure for guiding the needle towards the first end of the cylindrical elongated enclosure during recapping and for guiding the sheath toward the first end of the cylindrical elongated enclosure during uncapping.
