Abstract: The present invention relates to a slidable mounting block for insertion into a rail having a partially closed profile, the mounting block having a front face and a rear face opposite to the front face, the front face facing an open part of the partially closed profile when inserted into the rail. The mounting block comprises a first hole accessible from the front face in a first fixing area of the mounting block and configured for screwing in a threaded part of a first fastener, a recess accessible from the rear face in a second fixing area of the mounting block and configured for holding a head of a second fastener, and a second hole accessible from the front face in the second fixing area, the second hole being co-aligned with the recess and configured for passing a shaft of the second fastener through the mounting block.

Abstract: A composition for treating or preventing inflammatory-related conditions includes as an active principle a carrier which exhibits a plurality of a scavenger structure capable of mitigating the activity of a mediator of inflammatory-related conditions. The scavenger structure includes a nucleophilic centre complying with the formula X1(—R?—)(—R?)mHnwhere: a) X1 is a single-bonded heteroatom selected amongst N, O and S and exhibits a free electron pair; b) m is 0 or 1 and n is 1 or 2; c) —R?— is a bivalent organic group providing attachment to the carrier via one of its free valences and to X1 at the other free valence; and d) R?— is a monovalent organic group attached to the X1 via its free valence. A method for treating or preventing inflammatory-related conditions in an individual suffering from such conditions includes: providing the composition; and contacting the mediator within or separate from the individual.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a fluid ejection device comprise, in one embodiment, forming filler structures on a substrate and laminating a dry film onto the substrate over the filler structures. The dry film defines a barrier layer around the filler structures and an orifice layer above the filler structures. The filler structures are removed to form voids within the barrier layer.

Abstract: A method of forming a tapered bore an orifice layer of a photo-resist comprises forming a lens in a surface of a first unexposed portion of the layer and exposing the first unexposed portion through a bore-hole mask to define an exposed portion and a second unexposed portion, wherein the second unexposed portion has a tapered shape. The layer is baked to cross-link the exposed portion and developed to remove the second unexposed portion to form a tapered bore hole. The tapered bore hole has a shape corresponding to the tapered shape.

Abstract: A photoimagable composition suitable for use as a negative photoresist comprising: (A) at least one epoxidized polyfunctional bisphenol A formaldehyde novolak resin; (B) at least one polycaprolactone polyol reactive diluent, wherein the amount of component (A) is from about 95% to about 75% by weight of the sum of (A) and (B) and the amount of component (B) is from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the sum of (A) and (B); (C) at least one photoacid generator in an amount from about 2.5 to about 12.5 parts per hundred parts of resin and reactive diluent, which initiates polymerization upon exposure to actinic radiation; and (D) a sufficient amount of solvent to dissolve (A), (B) and (C); wherein the solvent comprises 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, and 1,3-dioxolane and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides a system that provides a low-cost solution to populate a database with customer information. The system consists primarily of a Caller ID device connected to an incoming phone line prior to a business's phone device and to a computing device via a corn port, USB port, LAN, and the like. The computing device accesses websites on the Internet through an Internet connection (e.g., modem, cable, etc.). The system searches for hits on a predetermined list of “websites.” If a hit is registered, the system “screen scrapes” the results of that web page, parses the results for address information (e.g., first name, last name, street address, city, state and zip) and stores this information in a database on the local computer. The database update is typically conducted in real time.

Abstract: A method of forming a depression in a surface of a layer of photo-resist comprises exposing a first portion of a layer of photo-resist with a first dose of radiant energy. A second portion of the layer is exposed with a second dose of radiant energy. The second dose is less than the first dose. The layer is baked.
