Abstract: In certain aspects, devices and methods for moving a toilet are provided that can include an elongated member, a first engaging member, and a second engaging member. The engaging members can be coupled to the elongated member and extend radially away from the elongated member. The engaging members can include contact surfaces that are disposed distal to the elongated member and that are configured to engage the toilet. In other aspects, devices and methods for moving a toilet can include a handle, a first collar, and a second collar. The collars can be coupled to the handle and can be configured to slide along the handle in unlocked modes and to positionally secure along the handle in locked modes. The collars can be configured to receive and secure to one or more removable shackles.

Abstract: The invention provides a piece or article of jewelry that is made from a metal support including a plate having an upper surface and lower surface with an upstanding peripheral rim on the upper surface that is mounted on the support to be normal to the viewer, and a sealed transparent dome filled with a liquid of a preselected specific gravity and viscosity into which is immersed a plurality of objects of given density. The dome is sealed to the upper surface of the plate and to the upstanding rim. The plurality of objects disperses in the liquid responsive to agitation or disturbance and will slowly settle by gravity to the lowest point of the dome when the agitation or disturbance ceases. The invention also provides a method of making the article of jewelry.

Abstract: The present invention provides protein-based biomarkers and biomarker combinations that are useful in qualifying babesia status in a patient. In particular, the biomarkers of this invention are useful to classify a subject sample as infected with babesia or not infected with babesia. The biomarkers can be detected by SELDI mass spectrometry.

Abstract: Provided is a fixture assembly for printing image graphics on a slat set of a window blind. The slat set is comprised of a plurality of substantially identically configured slats. Each one of the slats has a slat length and a slat width. The fixture assembly comprises a horizontally extending panel having an upper panel surface with opposed panel ends and opposed panel sides respectively defining a panel length and a panel width. The fixture assembly further comprises a plurality of substantially identically configured elongate inserts mounted on the upper panel surface in parallel spaced relation to one another. Each one of the inserts is configured to receive and support one of the slats in a generally horizontal orientation. The inserts are spaced complementary to the slat width such that the slats are supported on the inserts in abutting contact with one another.

Abstract: A latching device is provided for releasably retaining in an upright and open position, a hinged door which is typically manufactured of a heavy cast iron and hinged to a train stop housing, thereby to prevent the unintentional and accidental closure of the hinged door during installation connections or any field operational maintenance of the train stop housing. Preferably, a latch assembly is mounted atop a sturdy frame which provides an integral support above the train stop housing and is mountable with mounting hardware to a mounting lug of the train stop housing. The latch assembly includes a covered latching bar which slides in a channel defined by a first and second bracket and is urged by a spring mounted between the first and second bracket, thereby to urge a latch end of the latching bar outwardly away from the latch assembly and an opposing handle end of the latching bar inwardly towards the latch assembly.
