A sole construction having a heel carrier and an upwardly-arched heel pad. The heel pad is fitted into and supported by the heel carrier so that the heel pad provides a spring-like bending reaction to a load. The sole construction may further include a support element disposed above the heel pad and fitted into heel carrier. The support element may be upwardly-arching so that, like the heel pad, it provides spring-like bending reaction in response to a load. The support element and heel pad may be integrally formed, for example, by molding the heel pad directly onto the support element. The heel pad and / or support element may be fitted into slots in the lateral and medial sidewalls of the heel carrier to interconnect the heel pad, support element and heel carrier. The support element may have a forward extension to function as a shank.

A roll-up door seal that may be monolithically formed from a single material of uniform density. The seal is sized and adapted to assemble to a standard roll-up door frame without a separate or dedicated frame structure. The seal provides redundant sealing surfaces, positioned to cooperate with both the door and door frame, which ensure an effective and durable fluid tight seal between the cargo space enclosed by the roll-up door and the ambient environment. The seal may be produced by extrusion from a flexible, weather resistant material such as EPDM, thereby providing a low cost solution for sealing roll-up doors having industry standard door frame constructions. The seal is firmly engageable with the door frame, such that the seal may be installed with little or no secondary fixation.

An opaque zone in the polycrystalline (PCA) discharge vessel of a high intensity discharge lamp may be made by creating residual pores in predetermined regions of the final-sintered discharge vessel. The control over the placement of the opaque zone is achieved by forming a carbonaceous residue in a specific region of the discharge vessel prior to final sintering. During sintering, the carbonaceous material causes residual porosity in the sintered PCA. The higher emissivity of the opaque PCA provides localized cooling in order to provide more control over the condensate behavior in the discharge vessel.

The invention relates to methods of inhibiting the expression of a PCSK9 gene in a subject, as well as therapeutic and prophylactic methods for treating subjects having a lipid disorder, such as a hyperlipidemia using RNAi agents, e.g., double-stranded RNAi agents, targeting the PCSK9 gene.

Methods and apparatuses for masking the edges of a substrate when performing direct or reverse gravure coating using a kiss-coat configuration, particularly useful for in-line coating of biaxially oriented polymeric films. The methods and apparatuses include a masking plate configured to prevent the edge of a portion of a substrate from contacting a gravure roll, the masking plate includes a top portion having a Rockwell B hardness equal to or greater than 80, and a thickness of between 0.03125 inches and 0.375 inches. This masking plate prevents build-up of coating on the edges of the substrate which otherwise can cause film orientation production instabilities such as film breaks, sticking to tenter clips, and / or edge trim recycling incompatibilities. The masking plate provides a masking method that is effective and durable, minimizing production downtime and maintenance.

The invention discloses a method for preparing water-retaining agent by utilizing straws of farm crops. The method includes the steps as follows: after steam explosion on the straws of farm crops, adding water in straws and conducting stirring and filter pressing, wherein filter residue is straw powder material after steam explosion; adding water in the straw powder material after steam explosionfor sizing and pasting; after cooling temperature to reaction temperature, slowly adding sodium acrylate solution with 65-75% of neutralization degree, and mixing the mixture to uniform; adding initiator and cross-linking agent in sequence; and after graft copolymerization and crosslinking, obtaining graft cellulose, thus obtaining low-cost degradable water-retaining agent. On the basis that the activable hydroxy of straw cellulose after steam explosion is increased, the technology condition is optimized and the usage amount of acrylic acid is lowered; the preparation method is simple, the production cost of the water-retaining agent is greatly reduced, and industralized production can be realized; in addition, the prepared water-retaining agent is good in water-retaining effect, low in cost and degradable, thus being an environment-friendly material and having excellent application prospect.

The invention belongs to the technical field of daily care products and discloses a facial mask with the functions of improving skin barrier and delaying senescence and a preparation method thereof. The facial mask comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.05-4 percent of macromolecule hyaluronic acid, 0.1-3 percent of middle molecule hyaluronic acid, 0.1-5 percent of micromolecule hyaluronic acid, 0.05-3 percent of oligomeric hyaluronic acid, 0.5-6 percent of grape seed extract, 0.5-6 percent of purslane extract, 2-12 percent of hydroxyethyl urea, 1-6 percent of sodium pyrrolidonecarboxylate, 0.1-1 percent of allantoin, 2-12 percent of butanediol, 0.05-0.3 percent of thickening agent and the balance of deionized water. According to the facial mask disclosed by the invention, by reasonably combining natural compounds with plant extracts, the synergistic effect is realized, and the functions of better improving the skin barrier and delaying the senescence are achieved.

A golf green repair tool having a plurality of spears centered around a plurality of tines. The tines and spears are biased by a spring inside a housing and sleeve. When the cap the housing is pressed by the foot of a greenskeeper or golfer the spring is compressed forcing the tines and spears into the turf. The tines are inserted around the periphery of the ball-mark to aerate and loosen the turf. The spears are inserted into the center of the ball-mark and aerate and pull the bottom of the ball-mark to the level of the surrounding turf. The bottom side of the ground-contacting sleeve pressed down the raised rim of the ball-mark correcting the entire ball-mark to the level of the surrounding turf.

An apparatus for minimizing the harm done by pollution to marshlands and beaches due to hydrocarbon discharges in nearby waters is disclosed. A barrier boom apparatus is assembled by connecting together multiple individual modules, each consisting of at least one bale of Bermuda straw that is wrapped in burlap material with one end open and with excess burlap material extending away from the straw bale. The closed end of a second module is inserted into the open end of the first module's burlap bag and the modules are then held together by straps. The subsequent extended boom can be assembled without gaps between the straw bales while shaping it to conform to the contours of the land areas to be protected, and then secured on location by attachment to fence posts. The Bermuda straw bales contain oil eating microbes to detoxify the hydrocarbon pollutants.
