Abstract: The ShowMeStand™ ground mounted portable sign support consists of five assemblies (Two assemblies in the current version as (1) (2) (3) and (4) are one piece solid construction; (5) insert sleeve is not needed with current version and is eliminated and the second assembly is the (6) clamp; (1) is a support tube mounted to an anchor, consisting of a rod (2) with a triangular soil plate (3) and circular washer plate (4); the washer plate (4) attaches to the top of the triangular soil plate (3) and rod anchor (2); a smaller tube insert (sleeve) (5) fits over the anchor rod (2) and inside the main support tube (1); in the current version as (1) (2) (3) and (4) are one piece solid construction and (5) insert is not used; a clamp (6) wraps around the main support tube (1) with a thru bolt permanently attached to the clamp. Said clamp (6) temporarily attaches a rib crossbrace to the stand to support a roll-up style (vinyl or mesh material) sign.

Abstract: A sterilizing apparatus and method in which a sanitizing device detects pressure of steam rather than temperature. The pressure is related to a desired temperature, but detection of pressure means that temperature sensors do not need to be exposed to the steam. In addition, the steam can be fully saturated, and sterilization can be obtained without the need for a drying cycle. The liquid does not need to be reused in the apparatus, ensuring that biofilm contamination of articles can be substantially reduced.
