Abstract: A leak remediating device is disclosed that catches and redirects/diverts water from leaking pipes, faucets, and/or P-traps to a drain with an attached water hose. The device comprises a top body component or portion, a bottom body component or portion comprising a drain component and gasket component, hook and latch fasteners, and a water hose attachment. The device can be attached directly to a pipe or faucet using hook and latch fasteners and optional nylon straps. Additionally, the device provides a solution for leaks on the top or sides of a pipe by creating a complete seal around the pipe when the device is secured and in use. Further, the device is available in a plurality of sizes to meet the needs of all pipes and leaks.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for imparting odor resistance to an article. Also described herein are articles treated with the compositions and methods described herein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for screening for the allele associated with a desired SCS phenotype, which comprises: obtaining a DNA sample from a bull to be tested for the desired SCS phenotype; and detecting the presence of an adenine at position 11 in a gene encoding a bovine beta2-adrenoreceptor. Also disclosed is a milling attribute PCR-RFLP kit containing a pair of primers which flank the 11th nucleotide position of the bovine beta2-adrenoreceptor gene, and a restriction enzyme specific for the CCCGGG site, which can be SmaI.

Abstract: The invention concerns a stain resist composition comprising: (a) a component selected from the group consisting of (1) a naphthalene condensate, (2) a lignin sulfonate, (3) a phenol sulfonate derivative, a mixture thereof and (4) a (meth)acrylic polymer comprising residues of acrylic or methacrylic acid; and (b) a polyester.

Abstract: A rotary fiberglass needled glass insulation product is provided. The formation of the needled insulation product may be conducted in a continuous in-line process in which the fibers are rotary formed, a binder is sprayed onto the hot fibers, the fibers are collected onto a conveyor and formed into a fiberglass pack, the fiberglass pack is passed through the oven, and the cured insulation blanket is passed through the needling apparatus. The needled insulation product may have a thickness of less than about 0.75 inches. The reduction in thickness and increased density caused by the needling process permits the production of lower thickness and higher density final insulation products. Thin insulation products made in accordance with the present invention can be manufactured using current manufacturing lines, thereby saving time and money. The needled insulation product may be utilized in household appliances, water heaters, and HVAC equipment.
