Abstract: Basketball backboard and rim covers are described. An example basketball backboard and rim cover includes a main body that has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a front, a back, and defines a recess and an opening. The recess extends from the back toward the front. The opening is defined on the front and provides access to the recess. The second portion contacts the first portion and extends away from the front of the first portion. The second portion has a first end, a second end, and defines a chamber that extends from the opening defined by the first portion toward the second end of the second portion.

Abstract: Method of product evaluation comprising the steps of applying at least one substance to a surface of an artificial substrate to form a substance-coated surface, wherein the substrate surface demonstrates at least one physical property selected from the group consisting of a total surface energy of from about 15 mJ/m2 to about 50 mJ/m2, a polar component of the total surface energy of from about 0 mJ/m2 to about 15 mJ/m2, a zeta-potential at a pH of about 5.0 of from about ?30 mV to about 30 mV, and combinations thereof, and performing at least one analysis of the substance-coated surface.

Abstract: Article of manufacture comprising a substrate and a coating layer. The coating layer comprises at least one coating material, and is stably affixed to said substrate to form a stable, coated surface. The coated surface has a texture that mimics the topography of mammalian keratinous tissue and demonstrates at least one physical property representative of mammalian keratinous tissue, selected from the group consisting of a total surface energy of from about 15 mJ/m2 to about 50 mJ/m2, a dispersive component of the surface energy of from about 15 mJ/m2 to about 50 mJ/m2, a polar component of the total surface energy of from about 1 mJ/m2 to about 14 mJ/m2, a zeta-potential at a pH of about 5.0 of from about ?40 mV to about 30 mV, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Orally dissolvable dosage forms comprising sleep aids such as benodiazepines are described. The dosage forms may be in the form of tablets or strips. In certain embodiments, the dosage forms may comprise particles, granules, microgranules, or crystals, and a matrix. The particles, granules or microgranules comprise a combination of immediate-release particles, granules or microgranules with sustained-release, delayed-release or enteric-coated particles, granules or microgranules. In one embodiment, the sleep aid is diazepam, triazolam, midazolam, temazepam, flurazepam, zolpidem, zaleplon or a combination thereof. The sleep aids are typically employed in pharmaceutically effective amounts to treat insomnia.

Abstract: A paper tissue and products made from paper tissue, such as paper handkerchiefs, facial tissues, bath and cosmetic tissues, paper tissue wipes of any kinds and the like. The invention also relates to tissue paper including deposits of lotions on the surface of the tissue paper that protrude a significant height above the average plan of the tissue.
