Abstract: A safety barrier system for use in roofing and other roof-top projects requiring perimeter safety fencing or railing. Multiple, adjustable components allow for separation of support members from a rooftop deck for application of roofing material, adaptation for installations involving a varieties of rooftop perimeter configurations and obstacles, and, in some embodiments, later reinstallation without requirements for reinstallation of building side anchor components.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising fencamfamine or fencamfamine related prodrug derivatives for targeted therapeutic applications and methods of synthesizing the compositions.

Abstract: A liquid formulation of (S)—N-(5-((R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxamide, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or a combination thereof and the use of the liquid formulation in the treatment of pain, cancer, inflammation, and certain infectious diseases are disclosed.

Abstract: A boot comprises: an outsole and a polymeric upper affixed to the outsole. The upper comprises an upper body and a gusset, which comprises a relaxed position and an expanded position, wherein the gusset moves from the relaxed position to the expanded position to accommodate a wearer's leg upon donning of the boot.

Abstract: A polymeric outsole for an article of footwear comprises: an outsole body and a tread pattern that comprises a plurality of cleats and channels between the cleats; and one or more tread ribs projecting from the outsole body. The tread ribs project a first distance from the outsole body that is shorter than a second distance that the cleats of the tread pattern project from the outsole body. The tread ribs are effective as wear indicators to indicate remaining useful life of the cleats. During a first duration of wear, the tread ribs are not in contact with a ground surface while the cleats are in contact with the ground surface, and during a second duration of wear, both the tread ribs and the cleats are in contact with the ground surface.

Abstract: A boot comprises: an outsole and an upper affixed to the outsole, the upper comprising a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) upper body and a composite toe cap. The composite toe cap comprises a fiberglass reinforced polymer, and the composite toe cap comprises a tapered surface.

Abstract: A traction stud comprises: a carrier comprising a post, a hollow defined by the post that opens at a distal end of the post, and a multi-pronged flange at a proximal end of the post; and a tip bonded in the hollow and extending past the distal end of the post. The carrier may be metal and/or the tip is ceramic. The multi-pronged flange may comprise two or more prongs, each prong having a first face, a second face, a thickness, and one or more holes extending from the first face to the second face, wherein the first and second faces are substantially perpendicular to the post. Outsoles comprise the traction studs and boots and/or overshoes comprise the outsoles. The traction studs are securely retained by polymeric material of the outsoles. The studs penetrate and/or grip slippery surfaces such as ice and packed snow.

Abstract: A liquid formulation of (S)—N-(5-((R)-2-(2,5-difluorophenyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-1-carboxamide, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or a combination thereof and the use of the liquid formulation in the treatment of pain, cancer, inflammation, and certain infectious diseases are disclosed.

Abstract: A run-flat support ring, which is a component mounted upon a rim inside a tire to extend the distance the tire may travel at reduced or zero inflation pressure, is provided having an internal fin design that improves the rolling resistance of the support ring without sacrificing the overall load bearing and handling characteristics. Certain embodiments may also include one or more features that improve the process of mounting the support ring onto a rim and better tolerate variations, within manufacturing tolerances, in the respective diameters of the rim and the support ring.

Abstract: A run-flat support ring, which is a component mounted upon a rim inside a tire to extend the distance the tire may travel at reduced or zero inflation pressure, is provided having an integrated shelf design that enhances the handling characteristics of the support ring under run-flat conditions and may also lower the overall mass of the support ring in certain applications. In addition, the support ring has one or more features that improve the process of mounting the support ring onto a rim and better tolerate variations, within manufacturing tolerances, in the respective diameters of the rim and the support ring.

Abstract: In one aspect, a process for producing vinyl chloride from ethane/ethylene involving: (a) combining ethane, ethylene, or mixtures thereof with an oxygen source and a chlorine source in a reactor containing a suitable catalyst under conditions sufficient to convert substantially all of the C2 hydrocarbon fed and to produce a product stream comprising vinyl chloride and hydrogen chloride; and (b) recycling unreacted hydrogen chloride back for use in Step (a). No C2 hydrocarbon recycle is required in this process. In another aspect, a process for producing vinyl chloride involving: (a) combining ethane, optionally ethylene, an oxygen source, and a chlorine source in a reactor containing a suitable catalyst under conditions sufficient to produce vinyl chloride and hydrogen chloride; (b) catalytically reacting said hydrogen chloride in a second reactor to provide a second reactor effluent essentially devoid of hydrogen chloride; and (c) recycling said second reactor effluent to step (a).

Abstract: A method and composition for treating psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and possibly arthritis. The present invention involves treatment of these conditions with an oral administration of a mixture comprised of three primary ingredients: fumaric acid and/or fumarate compounds, inorganic nickel compound(s) such as nickel sulfate, and inorganic bromide compound(s) such as potassium bromide.

Abstract: An adjustable support tray provides a VCR or other electronic device such for setting on the top of a monitor of a television or computer. The TV/monitor support tray for supporting a video cassette recorder on the upper sloped surface of a television or monitor includes a tray base having a generally flat surface and a rim extending around the periphery thereof. It includes a lip projecting downwardly from and extending along at least a portion of a front edge of the tray base. A base support member projects downwardly from the bottom surface of the tray base and includes at least one leg member adjustably engaging the base support member. A nut and screw assembly releasably hods the leg member to the base support member.

Abstract: Arthritic conditions treated by oral administration of inorganic nickel compound(s), with or without bromide(s). In an especially preferred embodiment, the nickel compound used to treat these conditions is NiBr.sub.2.

Abstract: Psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and eczema are treated by oral administration of inorganic nickel compound(s), with or without inorganic bromide(s). In an especially preferred embodiment, the nickel compound used to treat these diseases is NiBr.sub.2.
