Abstract: The present invention provides a kit for affixing a drain assembly in a drain port in plumbing fixture. The drain assembly includes a drain ring affixed to a drain pipe. The drain pipe is positionable through the drain port in a bottom surface of the plumbing fixture, such that the drain sink abuts the upper surface of the plumbing fixture. The drain pipe extends through the drain port, past an underside surface of the plumbing fixture surrounding the drain port. A drain nut is rotatably fastened onto the drain pipe. The drain nut includes a first and second of bore therein. A drain nut driver tool is provided, which includes first and second angular extensions for engaging the drain nut. The drain nut driver tool engages the drain nut by removably positioning the first and second angular extensions about the drain pipe into the first and second of bores of the drain nut. The drain nut driver tool is rotated about the drain pipe to secure the drain nut onto the drain pipe.

Abstract: An access control system including a remote station that is in communication with both a base station and an access control device, whereby a user located at the remote station can effect the actuation of an access control device directly if the user possesses the proper authorization, or, indirectly, by requesting and receiving an authorization signal from the base station which then allows the user to directly effect actuation of the access control device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a protective drain seal for use in mounting a vessel to a platform. The drain seal includes a seal which permits the vessel to be mounted to the surface of the platform, as well as providing a protective barrier between the platform and the drain assembly. The drain seal includes a first member defining a first lumen there through and including a first flange surrounding the first lumen. A second member defining a second lumen and having a second flange surrounding the second lumen is additionally included, wherein the first and second members are engagable. The drain seal is positionable through a hole in the platform such that the first flange forms a seal between the vessel and the platform.

Abstract: The present invention provides a lavatory console system including easily removable and interchangeable components which allow for a change in the styling of the lavatory console. The lavatory console system includes a support frame having a first platform attached to a plurality of legs. The support frame is designed to bear the load of the lavatory console system. A lavatory support is mounted to the first platform having a lavatory sink mounted thereto. The lavatory support is selected to support a vessel, countertop, or undercounter lavatory sink. The removable and interchangeable components allow for a change in the styling of the lavatory console, including changing the lavatory sink or exterior styling, without the removal of the base support frame structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods for optical communication that may be employed to couple together fiber optic arrays of two or more optical communication modules using parallel fiber optic connectors and physically distinct and signal-independent optical communication paths. The disclosed systems and methods may be employed to provide separate signal-independent communication paths having signal transport characteristics that meet standards required for single fiber single point-to-single point applications.

Abstract: A basin drainage system for counteracting standing liquid can include a basin drain having at least one exterior wall defining a drainage channel formed through an interior portion of the basin drain. The system also can include a downwardly sloping flange affixed to the exterior wall of the basin drain. Finally, the system can include axial drainage channels formed in the downwardly sloping flange.

Abstract: A number of radio programs are received simultaneously, and data representing the most recent interval of those programs is maintained in the memory. A user interface is provided with controls for switching programs, and a control for initiating playback of a delayed version of the currently selected program based on the data maintained in the memory. This arrangement permits the user to “rewind” a segment of whatever program the user is currently listening to, even immediately after switching stations.

Abstract: An extended impingement cooling structure to cool outside an air supply plenum comprises an inner wall; an impingement sheet; a series of supports to maintain the inner wall in spaced relation to the impingement sheet, and a baffle supported between the inner wall and the impingement sheet. The baffle has a collector plenum area that receives impingement cooling air from the air supply plenum and a channel in fluid communication with the collector plenum and extending outside the air supply plenum with openings to allow impingement cooling air to pass therethrough and having a series of lands extending into the channel wherein the lands are located in proximity to impingement cooling air outlets in the inner wall.

Abstract: A packaged tooth whitening product is provided. The package includes a substrate having a first side and a second side, wherein the substrate is sized for use in a human user's oral cavity. A first composition including a tooth whitening agent is disposed adjacent the first side of the substrate. A second composition including an aesthetic agent disposed adjacent the second side of the substrate.
