Abstract: The automotive safety brake light is a supplemental optical signaling system that generates an illumination visible from the exterior of a vehicle. The automotive safety brake light mounts on a rearview mirror such that the field of illumination of the generated illumination is visible from the anterior side of the exterior of the vehicle. The automotive safety brake light generates the visible illumination when a brake signal from the vehicle indicates that the plurality of brake lights have been activated. The automotive safety brake light comprises a circuit housing and a control circuit. The circuit housing contains the control circuit. The control circuit monitors the brake signal. The control circuit initially generates the illumination as a series of pulses when initially actuated by the brake signal. The control circuit subsequently continuously generates a continuous illumination until the brake signal indicates that the plurality of brake lights are no longer illuminated.

Abstract: This disclosure describes antimicrobial compositions containing a clay, an aluminum compound and optionally a transition metal compound, in which a pH of the antimicrobial composition is less than or equal to 5, and an oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of the antimicrobial composition ranges from about 300 mV to about 800 mV. Other embodiments described herein include methods of producing and using the antimicrobial compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of determining the presence of contaminating dispersants, such as polymeric dispersants and inorganic dispersants, in a processed mineral, including mineral products such as pigments, by measuring the particle charge of the processed mineral using a particle charge detector.

Abstract: An accessory basket for attachment to a wheelchair comprising: a sturdy basket, a pivotal extending rail, wheelchair connecting means, and a catch mechanism. Two wheelchair-connecting members are provided; one having a hinge pivot assembly and the other a catch mechanism. The outer telescopic rail is adapted with a strike, mating with a catch adapted to the wheelchair-connecting member, while the inner telescopic rail is adapted with an upper hinge portion mating with a lower hinge portion adapted to an opposing wheelchair-connecting member. A catch release disengages the strike to allow the rail and basket assembly to be rotated on a vertical axis toward the side of said wheelchair, and the basket can thus be extended toward the front of said chair, making access to said basket easy and convenient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high surface area product and its production from solid-containing material, such as waste effluent from a paper-treating plant. The high surface area product comprises calcium carbonate, and is useful as a coefficient of friction control filler for newsprint.
