Abstract: A scrubber and methods of forming a scrubber. The scrubber may include a foamed melamine resin, a first foamed polyurethane resin, a second foamed polyurethane resin, and a binder. The scrubber can be configured to exhibit the properties of both a scrubber and an eraser, and have a density ranging from 0.01 to 0.5 grams per cm3. A method of forming the scrubber may include the following steps: mixing foamed melamine resin particles, first foamed polyurethane resin particles, and second foamed polyurethane resin particles to form a first mixture; and mixing the first mixture with a binder to form a second mixture.

Abstract: A barbeque grill brush (10) includes an elongated brush handle (12) with a handle grip (14) extending perpendicularly from one end thereof. The other end of the brush handle (12) includes a brush holder (16) that carries two rigid metal scrapers (30) and (32) and a brush head (34). The brush head (34) is carried by a brush attachment (36) that is adapted to be secured to or removed from the brush holder (36). The brush head (34) is comprised of a stainless steel mesh (46) covered foam (48). The foam (48) has the characteristics of being firm when cold but soft when heated.

Abstract: A foldable container adjustable between an unfolded condition and a folded condition comprises a roof panel and an opposing base panel, a front panel and an opposing door panel which are each hingedly connected to solely the roof panel, a right side panel and an opposing left side panel, a right side roof skirt and an opposing left side roof skirt having disparate heights, a left side compound beam and a right side compound beam extending from the base panel, and a left side hinge-beam structure and a right side hinge-beam structure each having a hinge point and a skirt retaining portion. The right side panel and the left side panel are hingedly coupled to their respective hinge-beam structures at the hinge points. The hinge points lie in different horizontal planes. The hinge points lie within a midline of their respective side panel.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system including a computing device including one or more processors configured to receive data with respect to two or more goods proposed to be transported together, the device including a user interface for displaying information, the one or more processors executing computer instruction code that performs a compatibility check based upon parameters of the two or more goods to determine compatibility between the two or more goods, whereby in the event the two or more goods are determined to be compatible for transport, the one or more processors automatically display, on the user interface in real-time, confirmation regarding compatibility of the two or more goods for transport, or in the event at least two of the two or more goods are determined to be incompatible for transport, the one or more processors automatically display, on the user interface in real-time, details of the at least two or more goods that are incompatible.

Abstract: A portable sneeze guard system for facilitating personal protection using durable lightweight acrylic and a design which easily supports opening, closing and transportation. This approach includes radial, series, modular and reconfigurable designs and a design which protects student desk areas with desk legs offset from the edge of the desk. This is approach accommodates easy cleaning and easy integration into a professional work environment. It also accommodates ease of transportation by folding the device to a smaller size.

Abstract: A liquid soap dispenser (10) includes a container (18) having a flexible outer wall (22) and including a quantity of liquid soap (36) therein. The upper surface (16) of the container (18) can be moved between an upper position and a lower position but is spring (30) biased into the upper position. A pump (32) within said container (18) pumps a portion of the liquid soap (36) onto the upper surface (16) when it is moved downwardly into its lower position. A normally closed valve (26) at the bottom (28) of the container (18) opens to dispense liquid soap (36) from the bottom (28) of the container when the container is squeezed.

Abstract: A vertical tie is for a load-bearing column of a building off-site structural module with a box-section structural member. The tie has a top tie assembly for engagement by a torqueing tool from above the column. There is a bottom tie assembly, which fastens to the module below. Torque which is applied to the top tie assembly is transferred to the bottom tie assembly by an interconnect tube. The top and bottom tie assemblies are configured so that the bottom tie assembly is adapted to engage with a top tie assembly of an underneath module, in one case by a nut engaging a spindle protruding up from the lower module. This allows modules to be tied together in the vertical direction in a simple, convenient, and safe manner by an operator on-site working on top of the upper module. Access to torque the tie does not require any side opening in the column and so its load-bearing properties are not affected.

Abstract: A foldable container adjustable between an unfolded condition and a folded condition comprises a roof panel and an opposing base panel, a front panel and an opposing door panel, and a right side panel and an opposing left side panel. Each of the front panel and the door panel is hingedly connected to only the roof panel. The right side panel is offset from the left side panel. A right side roof skirt is associated with the right side panel and an opposing left side roof skirt is associated with the left side panel. A height of the right side roof skirt is disparate from a height of the left side roof skirt. A first compound beam and a second compound beam are provided on opposing ends of the base panel. A height of the first compound beam is disparate from a height of the second compound beam.
