Abstract: A real estate fund transfer facilitation system may include a digital platform for receiving requests to facilitate real estate fund transfers for deposit in accounts of a title company. An intake module may be configured to marshal a depositing party through a workflow to collect transaction information. A portal may be provided that includes a selectable link for accessing the intake module. An output module may be configured to output transaction instructions with respect to preparation of a financial instrument as a vehicle for the deposit of the real estate funds in the receiver account.

Abstract: A hand-held laser welding wand includes a main body that is dimensioned to be grasped by a hand and a nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a laser extension tip and a feeder material extension tip in a configuration that provides the hand-held laser welding wand with the capability of conducting laser welding operations in relatively deep crevices or other hard to reach places.

Abstract: The invention provides ileS polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding ileS polypeptides and methods for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques. Also provided are methods for utilizing ileS polypeptides to screen for antibacterial compounds.

Abstract: A portable breathing apparatus is arranged to permit utilization within an automotive vehicle by employing a portable compressor having a twelve volt cigarette lighter adapter plug operative through a nebulizer structure to permit admixing of fluid medicant relative to compressed air. The organization is arranged to further optionally include an oxygen tank directing oxygen through the nebulizer into an associated breathing arrangement for an individual.

Abstract: Two strip materials from which portions may be severed and used together as a releasably engageable fastener. Each strip material comprises a bonding layer in which are embedded a plurality of U-shaped monofilaments. Each U-shaped monofilament includes two headed stem portions adapted to engage the headed stem portions of the other strip material, and the monofilaments are rectangularly arrayed, and spaced to provide a number of headed stem portions per unit length that are different from and not a multiple of or evenly divisible by the number of headed stem portions per unit length on the other strip material in any direction so that upon engagement the rows of headed stem portions of one strip material cannot readily slip between the rows of headed stem portions on the other.

Abstract: A strip material from which portions may be severed to form portions of fasteners, including a flexible bonding layer, U-shaped monofilaments bonded in the bonding layer and having headed projecting portions, a low density foam layer on the side of the bonding layer opposite the headed projections, and a layer of soft tacky pressure sensitive adhesive on the side of the layer of foam opposite the bonding layer.

Abstract: A bumper button or strip comprising (a) a rubbery cushion of oil-plasticized thermoplastic elastomer, (b) a dual-layer film, one layer of which is a polyolefin such as polyethylene fused to the rubbery cushion, the other layer of which is an oriented polyester polymer such as biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate film, and (c) a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the polyester polymer. The polyester polymer serves as a barrier to prevent migration of the plasticizing oil into the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
