Abstract: A vehicle occupancy detection and notification system is provided for integration upon a targeted area. The system includes a camera and a sensor. The camera and the sensor are in operable connection with a processor programmed with a presence detection protocol. The presence detection protocol is designed to detect the presence of an occupant within the targeted area. A wireless signal transceiver is also operably connected to the processor. The wireless signal transceiver is designed to transmit signals to a device equipped with a wireless signal receiver.

Abstract: A non-toxic paint and methods for making same are disclosed herein, such paint being comprised of a vehicle, a kaolin slurry and a pigment dispersion. Specifically, the vehicle is comprised of casein protein and potassium sorbate. Such paints are non-toxic and have a substantially long wet-shelf life.

Abstract: A traverse rod assembly (10) includes a support rod (12) having a viewing side (32) and an opposite backside (34). A track (26) is connected to the backside (34) of the support rod (12), and the track (26) has a sideways opening (36) hidden from the viewing side (32) of the support rod (12). A set of sliders (28) has a first section (54) slidably disposed within the track (26) and a second section (56) extending from the first section (54) through the sideways opening (36) in the track (26). A curtain support (30) is connected to the second section (56) of each of at least a subset of the sliders (28), and the curtain support (30) is operable to support at least part of a drapery (16).

Abstract: A cornice box assembly (10) for forming a cornice box (66) of a desired shape that hangs on a wall (74) is provided. The assembly (10) includes a face member (12) of a lightweight rigid material and first (14) and second (16) side members of the lightweight rigid material. Additionally, the assembly includes a top member (18) of the lightweight rigid material. A back member (20) is also provided of the lightweight rigid material having a first side tab member (50) at a first end and a second side tab member (52) at a second end. Each tab member (50 & 52) may be placed in a position generally perpendicular to the back member (20) at an interface between each tab member (50 & 52) and the back member (20). The assembly (10) also includes an adhesive (22) for joining the members such that a hingeable joint is formed between any two adhesive joined members.
