Abstract: A feed or mineral supplement for animals, especially deer, contains effective amounts of sulfur and garlic to repel insects from the animals. By inducing the insect repellent into the animal via ingestion of the attractant, disease and stress in the animals as caused by the insects is reduced. A feed is easily modified by adding the effective amounts of the garlic and sulfur to the feed.

Abstract: An illuminating weatherseal can seal a gap between confronting surfaces and illuminate the adjacent environment. The illuminating weatherseal includes a light emitting line extending along a longitudinal dimension of the weatherseal, wherein the light is emitted from the light emitting line along a path non coincident with the longitudinal dimension. A switch can be incorporated into the illuminating weatherseal for selectively actuating the light emitting line.

Abstract: A vehicular clamping strip includes a clamping channel and an optical locking cord for disposing the clamping channel in a clamping configuration to secure the clamping channel relative to the vehicle. The optical locking cord is at least one of light emitting, light generating and specularly reflective.

Abstract: An in-vehicle system that shares speech processing resources among multiple applications located within a vehicle. The system can include one or more software applications, each associated with different functionally independent in-vehicle consoles. Each application can have a console specific user interface. The system can also include a single in-vehicle speech processing system implemented separately from the in-vehicle consoles. The speech processing system can execute speech processing tasks responsive to requests received from the applications. That is, the in-vehicle speech processing system can provide speech processing capabilities for the applications. The provided speech processing capabilities can include text-to-speech capabilities and speech recognition capabilities.

Abstract: A carrier assembly is provided for reinforcing vehicle flange engaging strip such as a weatherstrip or trim strip. The carrier assembly includes a serpentine frame and a warp interlaced with the frame to form at least one frame-warp aperture. A fused powder bonds to at least one of the serpentine frame and the warp and inhibits movement of the warp relative to the frame, substantially preserving the frame-warp aperture.

Abstract: Techniques for remote resource mounting are provided. A login resource logs into a network. During the login, a mounting specification associated with the login resource is acquired. The mounting specification defines how a remote resource is to be locally mounted on a local device of the login resource. The mounting specification is communicated to a mounting service, which processes on the local device of the login resource and which locally mounts the remote resource on the local device.

Abstract: A composite strip having a polymeric body embedding a carrier assembly is provided, wherein the composite strip can be formed into a vehicle flange engaging strip such as a weatherstrip or trim strip. The carrier assembly includes a serpentine frame and a warp interlaced with the frame to form at least one frame-warp aperture. A fused powder bonds to at least one of the serpentine frame and the warp and inhibits movement of the warp relative to the frame, substantially preserving the frame-warp aperture. A polymeric body at least partially embeds the serpentine frame, the warp and the fused powder.

Abstract: An illuminating weatherseal (10) can seal a gap between confronting surfaces and illuminate the adjacent environment. The illuminating weatherseal includes a light emitting line (80) extending along a longitudinal dimension of the weatherseal (10), wherein the light is emitted from the light emitting line (80) along a path non coincident with the longitudinal dimension. A switch can be incorporated into the illuminating weatherseal (10) for selectively actuating the light emitting line (80).

Abstract: A vehicle weatherseal includes a reflective surface, wherein the reflective surface can be located on a dynamic seal, a static seal or a trim portion of the weatherseal. The reflective surface can be extruded, molded, particulated, flocked or a colliquefied powder coating. The reflective surface can include a reflective matrix, reflective particles, or a reflective textile or fabric. The reflective surface can be incorporated in, or used with a friction reducing material to provide a friction reducing reflective dynamic seal.

Abstract: An illuminating weatherseal for sealing an interface between confronting surfaces and illuminating the adjacent environment is disclosed. The illuminating weatherseal includes light line extending along a longitudinal dimension of the weatherseal, wherein the light is emitted along a path defining a non zero angle with the longitudinal dimension. A switch can be incorporated into the illuminating weatherseal for selectively actuating the light line.

Abstract: This invention relates to homogeneous liquid laundry detergent compositions containing a mixture of anionic and nonionic synthetic detergents, fatty acid soap, polycarboxylate builder, solvent, and water. Improved odor and safety are obtained by omitting C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 monohydric alcohols which have been used in prior art compositions of this type, and using polyols exclusively for the solvent.
