Abstract: The small object holder provides a secure enclosure for a gemstone while simultaneously offering viewers a multitude of viewing angles and an efficient storing means. The container includes a tablet, a suspension disk, and a disk-receiving cavity; all the components are made out of a transparent material to facilitate a clear view of the gemstone. The disk-receiving cavity traverses into the tablet and facilitates the placement of the suspension disk. The suspension disk includes an annular body, a plurality of prongs, and a plurality of prong holes. The suspension disk holds the gemstone in the center through a plurality of prongs. Each of the prongs contains a fixed end and a contoured end; the fixed end is secured inside the suspension disk while the contoured end engages the gemstone. The suspension disk is held inside the disk-receiving cavity by a front cover.

Abstract: Combination treatments with an antiangiogenesis agent and non-toxic blood levels of ethanol and/or DMSO are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods to appraise general health and to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic agents are disclosed. These methods can be performed on blood samples or other bodily fluids and comprise effecting cell death of endothelial cells, staining the dead cells and observing them microscopically. In addition, the invention is directed to combination treatments for neoplastic diseases or other conditions characterized by unwanted angiogenesis by administering an antiangiogenesis agent while maintaining nontoxic levels of ethanol and/or DMSO in the blood.

Abstract: An asset management system comprising data storage means capable of storing data and arranged to store asset data relating to a plurality of assets and datacenter data relating to at least one datacenter comprising at least one element, processing means capable of processing data and generating an output, the processing means being arranged to process the asset data and the datacenter data and generate an output comprising an acceptable location for each of said assets within at least one datacenter based upon a comparison of at least one asset parameter associated with the asset and at least one element of the datacenter, the system further comprising display means capable of displaying the output, the display means being arranged to display the acceptable location to a user of the system.

Abstract: A torque fitting is molded onto a visor rod end which has a support flange which engages one side of a mounting plate and includes at least one locking tab spaced axially from the flange. A locking clip fits over the torque fitting from an end opposite the flange and includes a locking dog which engages the locking tab on the molded-on torque fitting. The clip includes axially spaced pairs of locking legs having corners which wedge against a surface of the mounting plate opposite the torque fitting flange to provide a tensile force between the locking tab on the torque fitting and the flange to securely hold the torque fitting in position.
