Abstract: A storage module having at least one exterior panel of a motorized vehicle, at least one door, and at least one inner panel. The door is at least partially formed by at least one of the exterior panels. At least one of the exterior panels and at least one of the interior panels define at least one area to form the storage module.

Abstract: A dual stage inflator device including a housing defining first and second chamber each containing a quantity of gas generant material ignitable to produce combustion products. A divider plate, separating the first chamber from the second chamber, is disposed and fixed within the housing. The divider plate includes an opening to allow gas flow communication from the second chamber to the first chamber. A removable plug element is normally disposed in the divider plate opening to prevent gas flow communication between the first chamber and the second chamber when in a static state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage module having at least one exterior panel of a motorized vehicle, at least one door, and at least one inner panel. The door is at least partially formed by at least one of the exterior panels. At least one of the exterior panels and at least one of the interior panels define at least one area to form the storage module.

Abstract: A tow vehicle-drawn wash system and game butchering station comprises a re-fillable storage tank, a hand-pump for pressurizing the tank, a wash hose connected for discharging the tank in a wash stream, and optionally a game-butchering table attached to the tank. There are furthermore included provisions for mounting the tank to either a tongue of a trailer or else a draw bar.

Abstract: An existing communication occurring over a first type network may be communicated in high quality manner over another network when the quality of service of the first type network deteriorates. A real-time communication, such as a telephone call or other streaming data, may be automatically switched between various communication paths based on the quality of service of one of the paths. The communication paths may be internet protocol paths, circuit switched paths or other communication paths that support real-time communication of data.

Abstract: A method of enhancing the survival of neuronal cells in a mammal, the cells being at risk of dying, the method comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of one of the following substances: IGF-I; a functional derivative of IGF-I; IGF-II; a functional derivative of IGF-II; IGF-III; or a functional derivative of IGF-III.

Abstract: A method of enhancing the survival of neuronal cells in a mammal, the cells being at risk of dying, the method including the step of administering to the mammal one of the following substances: IGF-I; a functional derivative of IGF-I; IGF-II; a functional derivative of IGF-II; IGF-III; or a functional derivative of IGF-III.

Abstract: A lancet assembly includes an injection molded housing with a metal stylet mounted therein and a cap or shield. The stylet is held in position by adhesive and a plurality of supports that retain a centrally located hub within a lower portion of the housing. An improved cap is provided for mounting over the stylet on the lower portion of the housing to shield the stylet prior to use. The cap also includes an octagonal flange at its lower end to ease removal of the cap from the housing and to provide a flat octagonal surface for independent standing during reshielding.

Abstract: Method of enhancing the survival of neuronal cells, more preferably non-mitotic neuronal cells and/or cholinergic cells in a mammal, which cells are at risk of dying, which method includes administering to the mammal an effective amount of a functional derivative of Insulin-like Growth Factor I or Insulin-like Growth Factor II.

Abstract: The present pestle and mortar for crushing pills in pill cups is tailored to conform to the shape of a pill cup. A conventional frustum-shaped pill cup lines a frustum-shaped receptacle in the mortar to receive a frustum-shaped pill crushing portion of the pestle which is nestable in the pill cup. The frustum-shaped crushing portions of the pestle and mortar distribute pressure over much of the exterior and interior surface areas of a pill cup so that pills may be crushed in even fragile paper pill cups without tearing or otherwise damaging the paper pill cups. Moreover, the pill cup and mortar operate as one piece and the frustum-shaped crushing portion of the pestle substantially seals the interior of the pill cup to prevent pill granules from flying out of the pill cup during a pill crushing operation.

Abstract: A connecting device for use in a visual display unit to electrically connect a pair of substrates with one another and with a printed circuit board. The device includes a body portion for insertion into a socket or hole of the printed circuit board, a transverse bar providing a seating surface for engaging the board, and a pair of contact elements which are urged by spring action against conductive strips on the substrates.

Abstract: An electrode pad, an electrical lead wire connector, and an electrode system composed of the pad and connector which exhibits a DC offset of about 1mV, an AC impedance of less than 100.OMEGA., and a stable rectification of less than 0.2mV.The electrode pad of the system, for attachment to the skin for detecting biological or physiological electrical potentials, includes an electrically non-conductive disc, an electrolyte saturated porous matrix in the disc and integral provision for attaching an electrical connector, the pad having no metal components.The electrical connector has an electrically conductive probe at one end composed of a non-conductive plastic with a conductive silver and silver chloride coating thereover.

Abstract: An improved bag-making and sealing device having a pair of spaced, upstanding, bag-locating and holding pins is provided which includes a low-cost, integral, synthetic resin pin-mounting assembly in the sealer base for biased, back-and-forth shifting movement of one of the pins in order to tightly hold a section of marginally apertured bag-making material during heat sealing operations. The sealer also includes a pivotally mounted pin assembly intermediate the relatively widely spaced main pins which is shiftable to an upright position for locating and holding a section of narrow bag-making material in cooperation with one of the widely spaced pins; when not in use, the intermediate pin is pivoted to a recessed, non-interfering storage position permitting normal heat sealing operations using standard width bag-making material.
