Abstract: A construction system for releasing moisture from a building is provided. The system is especially suitable for use in buildings having a hip, valley or gable roof. More specifically, the device gives the hip, valley or gable roof adequate ventilation and moisture vapor release portals so as to allow air and water vapor to properly rise through the interior of the hip, valley or gable roof and out through ridge vents without becoming trapped by rafters of the hip, valley or gable roof. The system has a first unit and a second unit, wherein the first unit allows air and water vapor to pass through passageways of the first unit up through the underside of the hip, valley or gable roof up and out through the ridge vent(s) and the second unit allows air from the exterior to pass into the roof cavity to circulate through the roof cavity and into the first unit.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for asset management are disclosed. In one example, a system and method includes receiving an indication of a coupling of an asset to a computing device. An asset identifier stored on the asset is received and an asset data record corresponding to the asset is located. A data associated with the asset is recorded in the asset data record.

Abstract: Keratin and derivatives thereof, preferably S-sulfonated keratin intermediate filament protein, S-sulfonated keratin high sulfur protein, and S-sulfonated peptides provide antioxidant activity, e.g., that equal to 200-2200 ?mol TEAC/100 g or 100 ml, and are useful in an oral supplement to cause reduction in oxidative stress and benefits stemming therefrom, e.g., promoting skin health and to provide anti-inflammatory effect.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for the treatment of septage, particularly grease trap waste, is disclosed. The inventive process will convert the septage into Biosolids (sludge) and water dischargeable to the environment. The treated septage achieves pathogen reduction, and reduced vector attraction. Treatment of septage by pasteurization causes the destruction of harmful pathogens. Pasteurization of septage having high water content provides for even temperature elevation and distribution of heat within the thermal mass of the septage allowing for consistent pathogen destruction. An alkaline compound is utilized to form a filter cake from the solids fraction of the pasteurized septage preventing vector attraction, while producing a beneficial bio-solid. The liquid fraction of the septage is treated by biological process allowing for its discharge into the environment.

Abstract: A method for making available and distributing manufacturer coupons inside a grocery store is disclosed. The method comprises making available manufacturer coupons inside egg cartons. Customers, wishing to purchase eggs usually inspect eggs prior to purchase. Manufacturer coupons, positioned between the eggs and the lid would be discovered by the customer during inspection. The coupons are removable from the egg carton and can be used by the customer during that visit for redemption of products identified by the coupon.

Abstract: A universal disposable ECG sensor positioning device and method for use with electrocardiogram diagnostic equipment in which the mask has nine sensors, six of which can be used at any one time to provide three different sizes to accommodate varying sized human torsos.

Abstract: A leak proof package for fluid materials in which the end of a tubular nozzle from a container is closed by a wall and dispensing openings are formed in the side of the nozzle to extend radially. The dispensing openings are closed by a sleeve which initially is fixed to the wall. The sleeve is separated from the wall along a line of frangible webs by twisting the sleeve relative to the nozzle to fracture the webs after which the sleeve slides axially of the nozzle between positions opening or closing the dispensing openings in the nozzle.
