Abstract: In one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a bathroom mirror lighting system comprising a mirror, a light source, a sensor, and a control circuit operably coupled to the light source and the sensor. The control circuit receives a sensor signal from the sensor indicative of at least one of a user's distance from the sensor, a user's position, a user's posture, a motion of the user towards or away from the sensor, or a task being performed by the user. The control circuit then transmits a control signal to the light source causing the light source to alter its light output based on the sensor signal from the sensor.

Abstract: Oil-soluble overbased salicylate-phenate detergent additives comprising a complex in which the basic material of the detergent is stabilized by both salicylate and phenate surfactants. The mass % of the salicylate, as a percentage of the total surfactant mass, is at least 50, preferably greater than 50, provided that, when said mass % is less than 60, the TBN: mass % surfactant ratio of the detergent is 10 or less.

Abstract: Overbased detergent additives for lubricating oils comprise an organic substantially aromatic carboxylate, such as an alkylsalicylate, as a surfactant and have a TBN of 200 or greater, an active ingredient content of 70 mass % or greater, a kinematic viscosity at 100° C. of less than 1000 mm2s−1 and a basicity index (BI) of less than 13.

Abstract: A blood specimen sampling and insulated shipping kit is provided that provides a user with all materials that are needed to initiate blood flow, direct a blood sample into a sample vial, insulate the vial from heat and cold, protect the vial from impact, and ship the blood sample containing vial to a clinical laboratory for testing.

Abstract: A solar energy suntan booth including a heat collector plate mounted on a base for inclining the collector plate so that it is adapted for use as a surface for more effectively receiving the sun's radiation. The collector plate forms the top of an enclosed dead air space for receiving and retaining solar heat from the collector plate for transference back through the collector plate when it cools. The collector plate supports side extension members from the edges thereof and which are foldable from a collapsed position to an operating position serving to retain warmed air immediately above the collector plate thereby forming a layer of warm air within a space defined by the side extension members and collector plate. The collector plate and the side extension members are black for more effective heat absorption. The booth may be adjustably inclined and portable or of fixed inclined construction and the dead air space may have electric heater means to augment the heat collected in the dead air space.
