A shower door pane is provided with a pair of wheels mounted for rotation upon the shower door pane, each of the pair of wheels sized to be received in the track for translation along the track, wherein an upright clearance of each of the pair of wheels within the cavity is limited by the lateral portion to prevent removal of the pair of wheels from the track while in an upright orientation, and to permit the pair of wheels to be removed in an angled orientation.

Abstract: A retainer for a cabinet, a drawer, a bin, or furniture, is provided with a body with two portions that are spaced apart from each other and at least one of the two portions is elastically deformable relative to the other portion for compression upon installation between a support surface and a head of a fastener, wherein a slot is formed within the body and sized to receive a shank of the fastener such that the elastically deformable portion is compressed to retain the fastener, and wherein at least one portion of the two portions is at least partially flat to contact the support surface.

Abstract: A hardware assembly is provided with a threaded handle for a drawer or door. A threaded rod is provided for threaded engagement with the threaded handle, with a length to extend through the drawer or door. A threaded fastener is sized for threaded engagement with the threaded rod to engage the drawer or door spaced apart from the handle to fasten the handle to the drawer or door. At least one weakened region is formed in the threaded rod to permit separation of an unused portion of the rod from an installed portion of the rod.

Abstract: A cabinetry handle is provided with a handle body with a mounting surface oriented on the handle body to mount to cabinetry. A first fastener is provided on the mounting surface to cooperate with a second fastener within the cabinetry. At least one projection is spaced apart from the first fastener and extends a length from the mounting surface to engage the cabinetry to minimize rotation of the handle body relative to the cabinetry. The at least one projection has a thickness and a width that is greater than the thickness. A direction of the width of the at least one projection is aligned with the first fastener.

Abstract: A fascia assembly with is provided a base plate for a cabinet, a drawer, or a bin. A frame with a view opening is attachable to the base plate. An insert is sized to be received and retained between the base plate and the frame and viewable through the view opening. A method is provided for decorating the cabinet, the drawer, or the bin, by installing the base plate on a face. An insert is inserted between the base plate and the frame, which is attached to the base plate to retain the insert between the base plate and the frame and to display the insert through a view opening in the frame. A method is provided by opening the frame. A first insert is removed from the face. A second insert is inserted to the face. The frame is closed to the face.

Abstract: A metronome includes a body, a sensor coupled to the body and a controller in communication with the sensor. The sensor is configured to detect one or more strikes by a user of the metronome. The controller is configured to receive a first user input to select a tap tempo mode, detect via the sensor a strike by the user on the body of the metronome, determine a tempo based on a plurality of strikes by the user. The controller is further configured to detect modulation of how the strikes are made to the body of the metronome and automatically adjust the tempo based on the detected modulation of the strike.

Abstract: A disk drive in a computer system is equipped with a power storage unit that supplies power to the drive controller when there is a system power interruption, such as a powerdown or a power failure. Once the controller is notified that system power has been interrupted, it will immediately initiate a seek to a reserved location in the disk drive and store the contents of the cache memory at the reserved location. After power has been restored to the system, the controller can load the contents of the reserved cylinders back to the cache memory and complete the pending write operations by writing all of the data items in the cache to their respective final locations in the drive.
