Abstract: An artwork drying cabinet includes a housing that defines an interior drying compartment. A plurality of removable shelves are provided in parallel spaced relation within the compartment. A hinged door provides access to the compartment for purposes of loading and removing shelves with artwork. The door includes a vent to exhaust moisture laden air from the compartment. A blower and heating element are provided to supply a heated current of air to the compartment. A shroud couples the blower and heating element to the cabinet and directs the flow of heated air into the cabinet. The blower sends the current of air over the heating element through a diffuser comprising a v-shaped baffle with a central elongated opening along the vertex. Controls are provided to regulate air speed and temperature. An optional timer controls the duration of a drying cycle. The diffuser evenly distributes parallel laminar streams of heated air above and below each shelf.

Abstract: A shaped blank has a body with a knitted section yarns disposed in a knitted direction. The body has an opening in the knitted section. The shaped blank has a fringe between the knitted section and the opening with the fringe being defined by each yarn of the yarns extending into the opening predetermined distance along the knitted direction. The predetermined distance is less than about two centimeters.

Abstract: A method for circularly knitting an elastomeric yarn into a knitted fabric is provided. The method includes: operating a circular knitting machine at a machine rate, retaining a free end of the elastomeric yarn in a substantially relaxed condition, and taking up the free end into the circular knitting machine while feeding the elastomeric yarn at a first feed rate. The first feed rate maintains the elastomeric yarn in the substantially relaxed condition. The circular knitting machine continues to operate at the machine rate during the taking up of the free end.

Abstract: System and method for improving the way that visual information is learned by the viewer through the presentation of said information according to type of content and its location relative to the reader's field of vision. The present invention relates to a method and system for improving comprehension and memory of information that is presented visually. In particular, the present invention refers to such information that has been distilled into “chunks” that are most relevant to the part of the brain that is stimulated by the eyes being forced in that direction. Finally, this invention relates to techniques for stimulating the reader's brain by way of moving the eyes.
