Abstract: A method and apparatus for defining, creating, and applying checks to multiple computers simultaneously is disclosed. In a network comprised of multiple computers capable of being linked together, a number of parameters to be monitored are defined. Then a number of checks corresponding to the one or more defined parameters are created. Each check is a set of computer executable instructions to monitor a defined parameter of the one or more defined parameters. After the checks are created, one or more checksuites that each include two or more of the created checks may be created. One or more checksuites may be designated for deployment and applied to one or more of the multiple network computers.

Abstract: A massaging sink pillow structure disclosed herein designed to be placed over the edge of a standard sink used by a barber or beautician for shampooing or rinsing hair. The sink pillow is a waterproof, saddle-shaped structure with a front section designed to be placed against the front outside surface of the sink and a rear section designed to be placed against the front, inside surface of the sink. The sink pillow includes an upper, U-shaped indented section designed to fit into the U-shaped opening on the sink. Mounted inside the sink pillow is a neck massaging mechanism designed to massage the user's neck in one direction or in alternative directions from front-to-back and back-to-front directions when the user's neck is placed over the U-shaped indented section. Located inside the sink pillow is a printed circuit board, which is connected to a D.C. motor that rotates the eccentric element against the elongated member.

Abstract: A hood for an off road work vehicle includes a thermoformed polymer outer top panel having a smooth outer surface, a thermoformed inner panel, the inner panel having laterally extending corrugations, and a pattern of adhesive arranged between the inner and outer top panels. The inner and outer top panels are secured together by the pattern of adhesive, the pattern of adhesive comprising non-linear longitudinally extending regions spaced apart and straddling a longitudinal centerline of the inner top panel. The non-linear regions can be undulating or zigzag regions.

Abstract: An arrow sight is shown. The arrow sight includes a coupling portion for attachment to an arrow. The arrow sight also includes a targeting portion attached to the coupling portion. The targeting portion includes an aiming guide used to assist an archer in aiming the arrow.

Abstract: A device for supporting objects on a steering wheel, in particular a device for supporting a cell phone on a steering wheel. The device has at least one central member, at least one gripping means, and at least one attachment area capable of supporting the object. The device may include adjustment means capable of varying the length of the central member and the pressure exerted by the gripping means inward on the steering wheel. The device may include at least one support arm and be located outward of the steering wheel's inner hub when secured to the steering wheel.

Abstract: A stabilizing jack (10) for securement to the underside of a recreational vehicle. The jack includes a channel frame (25) formed with longitudinal trunnion flanges. A longitudinal screw (50) is rotatably mounted in the channel and drives a trunnion (38) that rides between the trunnion flanges (22a, 22b). A support leg (30) is rotatably connected to the trunnion. Rotation of the screw drives the trunnion towards an outboard end of the jack and lowers the support leg to its supporting position.

Abstract: A process of making D-panthenyl triacetate which includes reacting D-panthenol with acetic anhydride in the presence of the catalyst polymer bound dimethylaminopyridine to form an exothermic mixture. The so-produced acetic acid, and the catalyst are removed from the exothermic mixture which is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide. Sodium acetate in the form of a solid is removed by filtration. The D-panthenyl triacetate is useful in cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a Doppler shifted radar apparatus for correct target identification with respect to surveillance of moving vehicles. More particularly, an improved radar detection system using two or more continuously transmitted frequencies is used. The multiple frequencies are directed toward target vehicles whereby the phase difference of the two or more reflected Doppler signals is calculated and subsequently used to accurately determine a target range, thereby displaying the closest vehicle and closest vehicle speed. Vehicle speed is determined with use of the standard Doppler frequency shift. The next closest and/or next faster vehicle speed can also be easily determined.

Abstract: A sanitizing hairdresser's implement holder that enables a hairdresser to easily hold a plurality of implements on his or her body when cutting hair. The holder includes a holster with a plurality of comb and scissor pockets, each designed to receive a vertically oriented comb or scissor, respectively. Located inside some or all of the pockets is a removable sleeve made of plastic or paper. The sleeves are designed to have an outer shape that matches the general shape of the implement. When the sleeve is used with a scissors pocket, it is conical with a wide top opening so that the pair of scissors are held in a vertical alignment when placed therein. The sleeves are may be imbedded or soak with an antimicrobial agent that disinfects the implement when placed into the sleeve after each use.

Abstract: The front of a hood for a work vehicle is pivotally mounted to the front of the supporting structure. The rear of the hood is located adjacent to a mast. The mast extends vertically upward from the supporting structure of the work vehicle. A work implement having lift arms is operatively coupled to the mast and extends forwardly therefrom about the hood. The work implement has a raised position and a lowered position. The hood has a closed position enclosing the internal combustion engine, an intermediate open position making a portion of the internal combustion engine accessible and a fully opened position wherein the internal combustion engine is more fully accessible. The hood can be opened into its intermediate opened position when the work implement is in its lowered position. The hood can be moved to its fully opened position when the work implement is in its raised position.

Abstract: The hood of a work vehicle is pivotally mounted to the supporting structure adjacent to a mast. The mast extends vertically upward form the supporting structure of the work vehicle. A work implement is operatively coupled to the mast. The mast is provided with left and right mast side walls. The interior of each of the side walls is provided with a guide and seal having a V-shaped cross section. The hood is provided with left and right side walls having left and right rear edges. The left and right rear edges are offset inwardly from the hood side walls. When the hood is closed, the left and right rear edges engage the left and right guides, wedging the edges into the V-shaped cross section. The base of each guide is provided with a tapered block. The tapered blocks are designed to engage a Z-bracket. The Z-bracket is located on the bottom corners of the hood side walls.
