Publication number: 20070068206Abstract: Disclosed is a lock assembly such as for use with enclosures and access panels. The lock assembly includes a keyhole shaped aperture in a slide portion of the locking assembly that cooperates with double-D shaped protrusions associated with a locking plug. In a locked position, the double-D shaped protrusions inhibit movement of the slide portion. In an unlocked position, the double-D shaped elements may enter a more narrow portion of the keyhole shaped aperture and permit movement of the slide. The slide is associated with additional features so that movement of the slide selectively inhibits or provides consequential movement of other elements that in turn respectively deny or create access to an enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2006Publication date: March 29, 2007Applicant: CompX International Inc.Inventors: Robert Dalton, Donald Hesprich

Publication number: 20060277887Abstract: Methods are disclosed for processing organic plant matter into dry powder, oil and juice products for use alone or in combination with other constituents as a food additive, nutriment, dietary supplement, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical or a component of a cosmetic product having a high concentration of polyphenolic compounds, including the naturally occurring antioxidant resveratrol. In a particular embodiment, Muscadine grapes and rice hulls are mixed together in a predetermined ratio and subsequently pressed to extract the bulk of the grape juice from the Muscadine grapes, resulting in a residue consisting essentially of Muscadine grape marc and rice hulls. An active enzyme may be introduced into the mixture to soften the grape skins and thereby facilitate break down of the mixture into the residue. The residue is then pressed again, dried at low heat and high air flow, and the grape seeds separated from the remaining residue.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventor: Robert Dalton
