| 20090130475 | Wood treatment solution and process - The present invention features a single aqueous solution that imparts acceptable levels of water resistance, fire resistance, mold resistance and pest resistance to wood, and which may be used in standard wood treatment techniques commonly utilized in the wood treatment industry. In one preferred embodiment, the aqueous solution comprises a fire retardant, preferably sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (about 5% to 30% by mass), an insect and termite repellant, preferably sodium tetraborate decahydrate, also known as borax, (about 1.5% to 9% by mass), a mold inhibitor, preferably thymol (about 0.01% to 0.1% by mass) or ethanolamine (about 0.5% to 20% by mass), and a pH buffer, preferably sodium carbonate (about 1% to 10% by mass). It is believed that the borate/silicate components polymerize upon drying, and become water insoluble, which in turn prevents leaching and provides water repellent characteristics to the wood after treatment. It has been observed that the sodium carbonate may also act as a mold inhibitor, so that the ethanolamine and thymol may be optional ingredients in the solution. The calcium carbonate, in addition to serving as a buffer and imparting some mold and mildew inhibiting properties, is thought to also serve as a catalyst that maintains the water solubility before and during the immersion (impregnation) step, and helps to polymerize the silicate/borate compounds during the drying step. The aqueous solution should have a pH in the range of 9.5 and 13. Additionally, a powder mixture of the above-recited components may be prepared, and may be added to an appropriate amount of water to form the aqueous solution. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100162578 | Tools having anodized aluminum blades - A tool for digging or working soil in which the blade is made of anodized aluminum or anodized aluminum alloy. The anodizing process imparts additional strength, dielectric properties and a low coefficient of friction. The preferred aluminum alloy is one of the 6000 or 7000 series alloys and the preferred method of anodizing the alloy is the Type III method. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20100083506 | HEAD SECTION FOR A ROTARY CUTTING DEVICE INCLUDING BLADES AND INDIVIDUAL CUTTING LINES - A head section for a rotary cutting device includes a body portion, a plurality of cutting lines, and a plurality of blades, wherein the plurality of cutting lines are selectively mounted to the body portion without any disassembly of the head section, and the plurality of blades are selectively mounted to the body portion without any disassembly of the head section. Thus, the head section is selectively configurable, without any disassembly of the head section, to hold only cutting blades in a cutting blade configuration and to hold only cutting lines in a cutting line configuration. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20090005804 | TRAINING TOURNIQUET AND METHOD OF USE - A training tourniquet for use in training a user or another person, such as a medic, includes a non-functioning tensioning mechanism to model application of developing a tensile force in a strap of a tourniquet. The training tourniquet has particular application to training field personnel, such as medics and soldiers as to how to apply a tourniquet, without actually creating a compressive force that could damage a person's tissue during the training or practice sessions. In one embodiment, an inoperative windlass can be rotated to simulate the action necessary to create tension in a strap of a real tourniquet, however, the inoperative windlass spins around without actually tightening a strap of the training tourniquet. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090062842 | TOURNIQUET AND METHOD OF USE - A tourniquet for restricting a flow of blood in a body part comprises a first elongated member, and a second elongated member in slidable engagement with the first elongated member. In addition, the tourniquet includes a tensioning mechanism connected to the second elongated member, wherein a compressive force is applied to the body part upon applying a tensile force to the second elongated member using the tensioning mechanism. At least one embodiment of the present invention comprises a buckle having one or more of a raised intermediate bar and one or more teeth for contacting a portion of the first elongated member. The tourniquet is suited for emergency use, and may be applied by using only one hand. Thus, the tourniquet may be applied, manipulated and tightened by the wearer, even if the wearer is limited to the use of a single hand. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20110117228 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING AND TREATING FEMALE SEXUAL RESPONSE - The present invention relates to compositions, articles of manufacture, methods of preparation thereof, methods of use thereof, etc., for enhancement of sexual pleasure, conditions, disorders, and diseases related to reproductive physiology and systems, especially of mammalian females. For instance, the present invention relates to all aspects of modulating the female sexual response, including female sexual dysfunction, such as female sexual arousal disorders (FSAD), orgasmic disorders, and sexual pain disorders, and enhancing female sexual pleasure and satisfaction of the female sexual experience. Accordingly, the present invention relates to compositions comprising botanical extracts, active agents, etc., which are useful to treat or affect any of the aforementioned conditions. For example, the present invention relates to a composition, preferably for topical or local use, which comprises one or more of the following ingredients, including, but not limited to, borage seed oil, | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090256380 | TARPING SYSTEM - An apparatus is provided for tarping a cargo loaded on a flat bed vehicle which includes a pair of ruggedly constructed double scissors linkages carried by an overhead horizontal traveling trolley and connectable at their lower ends to the tarpaulin. A vertically adjustable horizontal roller is provided, over which the tarpaulin is pulled during its installation in covering relation to the loaded cargo. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20100307868 | RETRACTABLE ACCESS PLATFORM - An apparatus for providing access to vehicles and containers on a pair of railways or thoroughfares. The apparatus is comprised of a raised walkway between the pair of thoroughfares having a tracking platform movable thereon. Pivotally attached to and carried by the tracking platform is a turret. Carried on the turret and hinged thereto is a bridge that is rotatable in a vertical plane. At the end of the bridge is a cage pivotally attached to the bridge so that the cage remains horizontal when the bridge is rotated vertically on the turret. The bridge and cage are dimensioned so that, when the turret is rotated such that the bridge is directed between and parallel to the thoroughfares and the bridge and cage are raised, the apparatus is entirely out of the clearance envelopes of the thoroughfares. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20110078864 | EXTENDED SAFETY CAGE FOR RETRACTABLE GANGWAY - An extended safety cage provides access to a plurality of hatches on the top of a mobile container. The cage is rotatably attached to the end of a gangway, which extends from and is rotatably attached to a platform. The platform carries a pair of braces that extend out in opposite directions and support the cage through spring-loaded lifting arms. The apparatus can include actuators, such as hydraulic or pneumatic actuators, that urge the gangway and cage downward when activated. Secondary braces ensure that the lifting arms and safety cage move in unison. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110127111 | TRACKING GATE FOR EXTENDED GANGWAY - An apparatus for providing safe access to a top of a mobile container.
