Abstract: A hooklift mounted on heavy duty trucks or trailers that allows for lifting, re-positioning, transporting, and unloading various containers. A hooklift assembly having a frame. A lift arm having lift linkages rotatably mounted at a hinge end to at least one position on the frame. A hook arm rotatably coupled at a hook end of the lift arm. The hook arm configured for loading or unloading a container from the frame. A hydraulic actuator coupled at one end to the frame and at the other end to the lift linkage. The hydraulic actuator simultaneously lifting the lift linkage from a storage position into an extended position and adjusting an angle between the hook arm and the lift linkage.

Abstract: A method facilitating purchase of goods over a communications network is disclosed. The method includes a mobile computing device reading buyer enrollment data and purchase card data from a purchase card of the buyer, encrypting the purchase card data and transmitting the data to a server. The method also includes a server generating a record associated with the buyer, transmitting encrypted purchase card data and a request for payment to a payment gateway, and transmitting an order for the one or more products. The method further includes the server detecting the passage of a predetermined period of time, accessing the record of the buyer, reading the encrypted purchase card data and the product identifier from the record, transmitting the encrypted purchase card data and a request for payment to the payment gateway, and transmitting an order for the one or more products.

Abstract: A method on a server for managing discount offers for a plurality of users over a communications network. The method includes receiving a discount offer, wherein a discount offer comprises at least a product or service description, an initial price, a discount price less than the initial price, a minimum number of acceptances and a time deadline, and transmitting the discount offer to the plurality of users. The method further includes receiving acceptances of the discount offer, and executing a preliminary credit card authorization transaction for each acceptance received, at the initial price. The method further includes calculating a number of acceptances, detecting the time deadline, and effectuating a sale of the product or service at the discount price to each user that accepted, if the number of acceptances is greater than or equal to the minimum number of acceptances, including executing a final credit card authorization transaction.

The method further includes receiving acceptances of the discount offer, and detecting attainment of a predefined time before the time deadline. The method further includes decreasing the minimum number of acceptances by a numerical decrement, if the number of acceptances is less than the minimum number of acceptances at the predefined time before the time deadline, and re-transmitting the discount offer with a decreased minimum number of acceptances to the mobile computers of the plurality of users.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions, kits, and methods for cancer prophylaxis and therapy using recombinant MVA viruses encoding tumor-associated antigens, such as PSA and PAP. The recombinant MVA viruses can induce B-and T-cell responses. The recombinant MVA viruses can be administered prior to, at the same time as, or after a taxane.

Abstract: A modular lint collection system for a fabric dryer, comprising a lint collection frame having a plurality of lint screen retaining members associated therewith, and a plurality of lint collection screens connected to respective lint screen retaining members and arranged in a zigzag pattern. The lint collection screens are oriented in respective vertical planes with adjacent screens lying in intersecting relation to one another, such that the air flow being drawn through the dryer generally impinges the screens at an oblique angle.
