Abstract: A modular shelving system has a vertical stanchion for supporting load-bearing blocks. One end of each block fits into a T-shaped channel of the stanchion. A self-tapping screw threaded into the block engages the back wall of the channel and forces the block against the shoulders at the mouth of the channel. A pointed tip on the screw pierces the back wall of the channel to keep the block from moving along the channel. Shelf brackets of generally U-shaped cross section may be attached to the blocks and a back wall and support either end of a shelf plank in the channel formed by the U-shape. A curved washer fits between the U-shaped shelf bracket and a stanchion or a closet wall for alignment. In another embodiment, a separate shelf plank has its ends concealed and supported by such U-shaped shelf brackets and a diagonal rod connected to the wall. An end cap conceals the front corner of the shelf.

Abstract: A bottom door slide includes a bracket having mounting portions for mounting on a door and providing a channel opening at the lower end of the bracket. Slidably seated in the channel of the bracket is a slide guide having a guide portion extending below the bracket and having a lower end adapted to extend within an upwardly opening channel of an associated floor track. The guide portion provides a mounting recess spaced upwardly from the lower end in which is seated a slide block having an arcuate upper surface abutting the upper surface of the mounting recess and a lower surface adapted to ride on the upper end of the floor track. The slide block is slidable on the upper surface of the recess to align itself on the upper end of the floor track.

Abstract: A novel method of screening for novel secreted mammalian proteins is described in which mammalian secretory leader sequences are detected using the yeast invertase gene as a reporter system.

Abstract: A gutter system includes a strap for supporting a screen on the gutter. The strap is an elongate, planar member, preferably formed of the same material as the gutter. A first end of the strap is inserted under the roof shingles, between the keyways. The second end is configured to both project into a channel formed in the distal edge of the gutter and to overlie a horizontal wall of the channel, with a return portion to engagingly retain an edge of the screen.

Abstract: A frame assembly for fastening a stile onto a door panel comprises an edge frame member and a spring retainer. The edge frame member has a door panel channel which receives a door panel and a retainer channel which receives a retainer. The retainer channel has a heel and a shoulder projecting inwardly into the channel from opposite walls. The edge frame member also has a support edge which faces the door panel channel. The retainer has a U-shaped mounting end which snaps into the retainer channel, engaging the heel and the flange. A resilient deflection arm extends out of the channel away from the mounting end, contacts the supporting edge and bends outward into the door panel channel so that when a door panel is pressed into the door panel channel, it is resiliently engaged by the deflection arm which retains it in the door panel channel. A tongue on the mounting end locks into place behind the shoulder in the retainer channel to hold the retainer in the retainer channel.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel proteins useful for enhancing pulmonary surfactant activity, methods for obtaining said proteins and compositions containing one or more of the proteins. The proteins of this invention include the following:1. A protein characterized by a molecular weight of about 35 kd and by being encoded for by the DNA sequence depicted in Table 1.2. A protein characterized by a molecular weight of about 35 kd and by being encoded for by the DNA sequence depicted in Table 2.3. A protein encoded for by a portion of the DNA sequence depicted in Table 6 and characterized by a molecular weight of about 5.5-9 kd; and4. A protein characterized by a molecular weight of about 5.5-9 kd and an amino acid composition as set forth in Table 4.

Abstract: An integral plastics body mounted on a corner connector for a door can serve as either a hanger or guide. As a hanger, the assembly supports the weight of a door for sliding along a horizontal overhead track having a downwardly extending L-shaped limb. If used as a guide with such a track, the plastics body can move vertically relative to the corner connector. Rigid posts extend upwardly from the body for encompassing opposite sides of the foot of the L-shaped limb on the track. A flexible finger extending upwardly from the body has a hook that fits over the top of the foot on the L-shaped limb for safely latching the plastics body to the track, thereby preventing toppling of the door. A tab on the finger permits it to be manually flexed to withdraw the hook from over the foot and release the plastics body from the track.

Abstract: A diagnostic reagent is disclosed which is capable of binding to a target nucleotide sequence which is bound to a labeled polynucleotide in a target binding region which is at least partially co-extensive with the target binding region in the probe polynucleotide which is capable of binding to the target nucleotide sequence. A method is disclosed in which the reagent is contacted with a sample and with a capturing polynucleotide under conditions such that target nucleotide which may be present in the sample binds to the probe polynucleotide and displaces labeled polynucleotide from the reagent complex, and the capturing polynucleotide binds selectively to the displaced labeled polynucleotide in the region of the labeled polynucleotide that had been bound to the probe polynucleotide. Determination of the displaced nucleotide gives a value which is a function of the presence and concentration of target nucleotide in the sample.

Abstract: A slider (41) for guiding the top of a sliding door (12) in a channel (42) comprises spaced cheeks (56) between which extends a rib (59) which engages one side of the channel, and flexible tongue (60) which flexes between the cheeks and is thereby biased into engagement with the other side of the channel. Another embodiment of door guide has a pair of wheels (113, 114) having enlarged rims at one end for engaging opposite walls of a door guiding channel. One of the wheels is inverted relative to the other. Thus, the rim of one wheel is at a higher elevation than the rim of the other wheel.
