Abstract: The static or dynamic roadway travel time system determines the path with least travel time 26, 28 between two places by using user input 8 and traffic data input 14 in the form of volume and occupancy, or speed, or travel time to inform a user of the roadway network path that yields the least travel time 26, 28.

Abstract: A cooking device-accommodating assembly includes a main counter, left and right counters disposed respectively at left and right sides of the main counter in such a manner that the left and right counters cooperate with the main counter to define an accommodating space thereamong for receiving a cooking device therein, and a fastening unit including screw rods and nuts for fastening the left and right counters to the main counter.

Abstract: A computer dispatcher connected to one or more respective network buffers has stored file lists that identify one or more of the files in the database that are to be transmitted over networks connected to the respective network buffer. A scheduler(s) schedule one or more portions of one or more of the files to be written to the respective network buffers by defining transmission criteria about each of the files in the file list. These transmission criteria include a quantity to transmit criteria, defining a quantity of one or more of the portions of the respective file to transmit, and one or more release times. The release times define the time at which the respective portion is to be written to the network buffer. The system includes a dispatching process that determines an available space on one or more of the network buffers and a current system time.

Abstract: A seat cushion includes a cushion body and a vibrating unit. The cushion body has a rear section adapted to press against the buttocks of a user, and a front section including two spaced-apart thigh support portions, and a protruding portion projecting upwardly between the thigh support portions and adapted to press against the groin portion of the user. The vibrating unit is disposed in the protruding portion for massaging the groin portion of the user so as to promote blood circulation.

Abstract: A method for making a table top includes the steps of forming a water-proof layer on a wooden panel, forming an inner stone layer on the water-proof layer, forming an outer stone layer on the inner stone layer, and covering the outer stone layer with a mask that is formed with an access hole, and sand blasting the outer stone layer through the access hole so as to form a through-hole in the outer stone layer which exposes a portion of the inner stone layer.

Abstract: A modular sofa includes a hollow base frame, upholstered back and armrest members, and a plurality of mounting units. Each mounting unit includes amounting seat secured to a respective one of the back and armrest members, and a hook plate extending from the mounting seat so as to define an insert space. The base frame includes a rear side wall and a pair of lateral side walls, each of which is inserted into the insert space of a respective mounting unit. A threaded rod extends through the hook plate and through a respective one of the rear sidewall and the lateral side walls, and engages threadedly a mounting hole in the mounting seat for fastening the respective one of the back and armrest members to the respective side wall of the base frame.

Abstract: A computer system and method is presented for dynamic content resolution. The invention comprises one or more source program files and one or more insert statements inserted into the source program files. The insert statements having one or more logical condition statements with one or more logical parameters and one or more state statements. An insert statement parser determines a state of the condition statement, selects one of the state statements associated with the state, and parses the selected state statement into one or more content source indicators. A content source identification process uses one or more of the content source indicators to determine a content source type and one or more access instructions. A content source access process uses the access instructions to access a content source object. A content insertion process replaces the insert statement with the source object in the source program file.

Abstract: A bookshelf including a pair of side plates, a back plate, and a bottom plate being spaced from the back plate by a transverse opening and one or more sliding dividers each including a substantially L-shaped attachment member. The back plate is at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical axis, the bottom plate is at the same predetermined angle with respect to a vertical axis.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for the treatment of aqueous waste stream containing aldehydes and ketones, in particular, alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, which can be rendered non-toxic to biological treatment systems by contacting the waste stream with organic polyamines and/or inorganic ammonium compounds at essentially ambient conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed are polyester polymer compositions containing sodium additives as nucleating agents. More specifically disclosed is the use of mono-sodium salts of dicarboxylic acids as nucleating agents.

Abstract: An infrared rays cauterizing structure is composed of a base, locating devices, fixed cauterizers and a hand-held cauterizer. In light of locating devices, the cauterizers can be located in proximity of a specific point of the human body without attendance of a medical personnel. The base is provided in the interior thereof with a plurality of temperature controllers and timers for regulating the treatment temperature and the treatment duration of a heater of the cauterizers. The heater is capable of bringing about a predetermined energy for treating disease or relieving pain of the specific point of the body of a patient under treatment.

Abstract: A modular sofa includes a hollow frame, an upholstered back frame, at least one first fastener, a pair of upholstered armrest frames, at least one second fastener and an upholstered seat frame. The hollow frame has front and back walls and a parallel pair of side walls interconnecting the front and back walls. The upholstered back frame has a lower end portion to be detachably fastened to the back wall. The first fastener fastens the upholstered back frame to the back wall of the hollow frame. The pair of upholstered armrest frames are to be detachably fastened to the side walls, respectively. The second fastener fastens each of the upholstered frames to a respective one of the side walls. The upholstered seat frame is detachably mounted to the top of the hollow frame.
