Hauling vehicles, fixtures and methods for loading heavy cargo are provided by this invention. The fixture enables such cargo to be loaded on a trailer, boat or railway with a minimum "effective width". Such fixtures include a support frame and an arm swively mounted to the support frame for enabling the cargo to be tilted from a first loading position to a second transporting position to reduce the degree to which the cargo extends beyond the width of the trailer. Transportation costs are signi...

A hand-tearable barrier laminate includes a reinforcing layer having a first tensile strength. The reinforcing layer is laminated to a flexible cellulosic web. The web has open porosity and a second tensile strength which is less than the first tensile strength. The web is treated with a water-resistant polymeric resin for providing liquid water resistance to the web while permitting water vapor to pass through the web. This hand-tearable barrier laminate can be substituted for polymer foam and ...

Sequential digital video frames are divided into two interleaved fields comprising even-numbered horizontal lines of pixels and odd-numbered lines horizontal lines of pixels respectively. The "even" field of a first standard frame is combined with the "odd" field of a second standard frame to form a first pseudo-interlaced frame of data for display; then the same odd field is combined with the even field of a third standard frame to form a second pseudo-interlaced frame of data for display, and ...

A clip is provided for the channeling of water flow in assembled vinyl siding trim accessories, the clip having a first end segment which forms a detachable retention fastener, and a second end segment formed for the channeling of water.

Provided are antineoplastic derivatives by a process of selective halogenation of side chains of unsaturated taxanes; more particularly, the process involves the use of halogens, particularly bromine, which is easily added to the side chain double bond of cephalomannine, leaving paclitaxel unchanged, and wherein diastereomeric mixtures of 2", 3"-dibromocephalomannine display high activity against: Leukemia cell line HL-60 (TB); Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer line NCI-H522; Colon Cancer cell lines CO...

Conduit liners and methods for their construction and use are provided. The liners include a first flexible layer mechanically bonded to at least one glass-containing layer and folded to form a tubular laminate. The laminate can be penetrable by resinous liquid capable of setting the form of substantially continuous matrix within the laminate following the expansion of the laminate within a conduit. In preferred versions of the liner, multiple glass layers are provided on the inner and outer dia...

Provided is a pipe and pipe liner composition including PVC, a PVC-hydrogen bonding modifier and a PVC-polar bonding modifier.

An operator for a jalousie window includes a linkage with two toggle joints. The toggle joints assist in locking the window in its fully opened or fully closed position. The toggle joints of the operator are actuated by an actuating lever which is mounted to the window frame of the jalousie window so as to provide a mechanical advantage to operation of the jalousie window. The mechanical advantage afforded by the operator allows relatively heavy jalousie window louvers and associated moving comp...

Mechanical pipe connections are provided by this invention which include an interlocking system between two pipes to be connected within a tubular fitting member. The interlocking system includes male and female portions which mechanically mesh together to form binding contact between the pipes to reduce the individual rotation of the pipes relative to one another.

Hand-tearable barrier laminates are provided which include a reinforcing layer having a first tensile strength laminated to flexible cellulosic web comprising open porosity and a second tensile strength which is less than the first tensile strength. The web is treated with a water-resistant polymeric resin for providing liquid water resistance to the web while permitting water vapor to pass through it. Inexpensive web materials can be substituted for polymer foam and microperforated plastic film...
