  • Publication number: 20170311718
    Abstract: A sliding shelf system includes a support structure including a plurality of posts, and a base mounted to the posts in a stationary manner. A slidable shelf is mounted to the base for movement between a stored position and an extended position. A wheel supports the shelf in the extended position. A notch is provided in the support structure for receipt of the wheel when the shelf is in the stored position. A latch includes a pivoting handle, a cable, and a slidable rod wherein pivoting of the handle moves the slidable rod. A rod with a hook engages an aperture in the pivoting handle of the latch of the slidable shelf. A socket on the slidable shelf receives a distal end of a rod, a proximal end of the rod defines a handle for grasping by the user.

  • Publication number: 20090113838
    Abstract: A water resistant structural board suitable for use in a wall system is disclosed. The structural board has water drainage channels on at least one of its surfaces to drain any water trapped behind the sealed wall system. The water drainage channels may be imparted into the structural board during or applied subsequent to a board production process, and the produced board is shipped to the construction site for a wall installation. When desired, the channeled surface of the structural board may be laminated, coated, or sprayed with a water resistant layer to further enhance the water resistant property of the board. A wall system including the disclosed structural board does not require a layer-by-layer installation of a component having water resistant property and a component having water drainage channel structure at a work site; therefore, labor cost and installation time may be reduced significantly.

  • Patent number: 7423138
    Abstract: By virtue of the present invention, there is provided methods and compositions for interfering with the proliferation of cells infected and/or transformed by papillomaviruses. The processes and compositions of this invention may be used to treat any mammal, including humans. According to this invention, mammals are treated by the pharmaceutically acceptable administration of an E2ad/db protein, either directly or by gene transfer techniques, to reduce the symptoms of the specific papillomavirus-associated disease, or to prevent their recurrence.

  • Patent number: 6849268
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for increasing the bone mineralization of a human, and more preferably an infant or toddler. The method comprises administering to said human a source of calcium and a fat blend that is low in palmitic acid. The enhanced mineralization results in the production of a higher peak bone mass and correspondingly lowers the incidence of osteoporosis.
