Abstract: The present invention describes a new and improved support for a keyboard that retains a keyboard at an angular and spatial location that suits the needs of a user. The keyboard support includes a weighted base, an extendable arm for adjusting the height of the keyboard stand, and a keyboard platform that supports a keyboard or similar shaped electronic device. The extendable arm comprises ball joints on both ends thereof that allow for angular and rotational adjustment of the extendable arm and the keyboard platform. Further provided on the keyboard platform is a high friction or adhesive layer for securing the keyboard, and a ledge that supports the base of the keyboard.

Abstract: A plurality of adjustable hangers for storing an aboveground pool cover in an elevated position and in close proximity to an associated pool comprised of a generally U-shaped hanger portion for receipt of the pool cover, a lateral support for engaging the sidewall of the aboveground pool and a hook portion for removable attachment to the sidewall and rail or the above ground pool. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, portions of the hanger are adjustable in size to accommodate a wide variety of aboveground pools. By storing the pool cover in an elevated position, the pool cover is not as susceptible to damage and/or damaging the surfaces upon which it would be otherwise stored, and is far less likely to transfer dirt, leaves, grass clippings, insects and other undesirable elements into the pool water when the pool cover is reinstalled on the surface of the pool.

Abstract: Provided are methods for the detection and diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome or ACS. The methods are based on the discovery that abnormal levels of selected analytes in sample fluid, typically blood samples, of patients who are at risk are supportive of a diagnosis of ACS. At least two new biomarkers for ACS are thus disclosed, MMP-3 and SGOT. Altogether the concentrations of twelve analytes provide a sensitive and selective picture of the patient's condition, namely, whether the patient is suffering a heart attack.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods of characterizing autoimmune diseases by detecting and measuring at least one analyte using multiplexed assay systems. According to one embodiment, a target is detected and measured by different bead sets having different reactants. According to another approach the ratio of self-antigen to autoantibody is measured by exposing a sample suspected of containing self-antigen and autoantibody to a bead set associated with monoclonal antibody specific for the self-antigen and a bead set associated with the self-antigen.

Abstract: A biochemical image is derived from specimens, preferably obtained from a statistically relevant sample of a subject population sharing a common characteristic. The biochemical images for one or more conditions present in the subject population and/or one or more test subjects are determined and made available for computer implemented diagnostic evaluations and medical research. In addition to using the information for general research purposes, information from the images may be used to classify diseases and disease states.
