A demountable wall system includes a frame component that has a base. The demountable wall system also includes a biasing element and a cover that is removably coupled to the frame component. The cover includes a cover body and an engagement projection extending outwards from the cover body, and the biasing element is configured to bias the cover such that the engagement projection engages the frame component.

Demountable wall system with removable cover

A demountable wall system includes a frame component. The frame component may include a front channel that receives a panel of the demountable wall system. In addition to the front channel, the frame component may include at least one of a front cover, a removable back cover, a leveling system, a supplemental channel, or a joining system. In some examples, the demountable wall system includes a door support system for movably supporting a door relative to the panel of the demountable wall system.

Demountable wall system and method

A curtain wall mounting system adapted for cantilevered support of at least one structure outwardly therefrom. The curtain wall mounting system including an anchor plate having dual plates and adapted for integral mounting with a curtain wall web section. The curtain wall web section includes one of a hollow tongue web extending outwardly of a curtain wall vertical mullion in a first direction and an integrally formed flange region extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion in the first direction. The curtain wall web section includes a first set of fastening apertures oriented transversely to the first direction and formed. The anchor plate includes at least one generally planer body portion having a first set of mating apertures adapted for alignment in registry with the first set of fastening apertures of the web. The anchor plate further having a second set of apertures adapted for securing structures outwardly therefrom.

Curtain wall external support system

A curtain wall mounting system for cantilevered support of at least one structure. The system includes an anchor plate adapted to integrally mount with a web section of a curtain wall. The curtain wall web section includes either a hollow tongue web extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion or an integrally formed flange region extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion. The anchor plate has at least one generally planer body portion with a first set of mating apertures adapted for alignment with the first set of fastening apertures of the web. The first set of apertures are oriented generally perpendicular to the tension forces transmitted by the anchor plate. The anchor plate also includes a second set of apertures adapted for securing of structures outwardly from the curtain wall.

A mullion sealing bridge and method for use in a curtain wall system. In one aspect, the bridge is placed at an intersection horizontal and vertical mullions to divert fluid along the curtain wall system. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Curtain wall mullion sealing bridge

Disclosed is a moisture collection bridge and method for use in a curtain wall system. In one aspect, the moisture collection bridge is placed at an intersection of a vertical mullion and one or more horizontal members. The moisture collection bridge is formed to collect fluid in a recess and divert the fluid out of the curtain wall system through an outlet. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Method and apparatus for moisture collection and diversion in curtain walls

Disclosed is a curtain wall assembly used for building exteriors. The curtain wall system includes a first vertical mullion operable to attach to a first sill member and a second vertical mullion operable to interlock with the first vertical mullion. A mullion cap may be attached to a bottom surface of at least one of the vertical mullions. The mullion cap includes a substantially planar bottom plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, a front edge, and a back edge. The mullion cap further includes an attachment face located on the upper surface of the substantially planar bottom plate. The attachment face is operable to attach to the vertical mullion.

Building curtain wall mullion and sill assembly

The present invention provides an antioxidant carotenoid composition substantially free of lutein comprising lutein esters. This antioxidant composition may readily be formulated into products for administration to humans to provide protection from the harmful effects of free radicals. The invention also provides a method of preventing or inhibiting the harmful effects of free radicals by administering an effective amount of an antioxidant carotenoid composition substantially free of lutein comprising lutein esters.

Lutein esters having high bioavailability

A method for preventing or treating high serum levels of cholesterol and lipids in a mammal, said method comprising orally administering an effective amount of natural lycopene to prevent or treat high serum levels of cholesterol or lipids to a mammal in need of such treatment. Also disclosed is an oral pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form for oral administration for the prevention or treatment of high serum levels of cholesterol and/or lipids in a mammal, said composition comprising an effective amount of natural lycopene to prevent or treat high serum levels of cholesterol or lipids in a mammal and in a sufficient amount to achieve a level of serum cholesterol of less than 200 mg per deciliter over the course of treatment, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.

Methods of preventing and/or treating high serum levels of cholesterol and/or lipids

A mullion connection system includes a non-rectangular shear block which is formed by making angled, parallel cuts in a section of extruded material.

Mullion connection system

A method for protecting the body against oxidation of low density lipoproteins by the oral administration of a protective amount of a natural tocopherol and tocopherol acetate or tocopherol succinate.

Compositions based on tocopherols

A dry, particulate, free-flowing form of Vitamin E (.alpha.-tocopherol) is provided which includes a potency stabilizer for the Vitamin E. The potency stabilizers are hydroxy acids or amino acids such as ascorbic acid, citric acid, methionine and cysteine.

Stabilized tocopherol in dry, particulate, free-flowing form

Fatty ethers are provided which are lower alkyl ethers cyano-substituted lower alkyl ethers, ester ethers or amide ethers of fatty alcohols substituted with at least one of the following substituents: formyl, methylol, or acryloxymethyl. The substituted fatty ethers are useful as monomers in a wide variety of polymer systems.

Substituted fatty ethers

Dicyanoethenyl fatty compounds are provided which can be derivatized in a variety of ways to form a variety of compounds and polymeric products.
