A composition comprising an antacid, and a local, topical anesthetic. The composition is used to relieve pain or discomfort associated with a sore throat, and therefore, the invention is also directed to a method of alleviating the pain or discomfort associated with a sore throat comprising instructing a human to orally administer the composition.

A near field lens for an automotive light assembly which has a reduced thickness. Generally, the near field lens includes a main body of light transmitting material. A pocket is formed in the main body for receiving light from a light source. The pocket is defined by an inner radially facing surface and an inner axially facing surface. The inner radially facing surface is structured to reduce the thickness of the lens.

A headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle. The headlamp assembly includes a lens and a housing cooperating to at least partially define an inner chamber that is generally fluidly isolated from the atmosphere. Mounted within the inner chamber is a one piece reflector having a reflective portion and a heat sink portion. The reflective portion reflects light from a light source forward through the lens, while the heat sink portion conducts heat from the reflective portion and dissipates the heat from the assembly.

A light manifold for an automotive light module emitting light to the side of a longitudinal axis along which light is to be directed. The light module is structured in a manner that permits the creation of light distribution patterns for particular functions, such as the stop light function for an automobile, that are otherwise difficult to effectively produce.

A system for preventing trains from derailing and colliding with hazards on railways is disclosed. According to the invention, the system includes a safety vehicle (i.e., &ldquo;trolley&rdquo;) that travels along a railway a head of a train. The train and trolley each include GPS receivers which constantly provide GPS location information to a computer in the train. The computer calculates the distance between the trolley and the train, speed at which the train is traveling, and the distance required for the train to stop. The computer transmits acceleration and deceleration commands to the trolley and/or train to maintain a safe distance between the trolley and the train. If the trolley derails, stops or slows down due to a hazard on the railway or another problem, the computer generates commands to slow down or stop the train, as necessary, to prevent the train from derailing or colliding with the trolley or a hazard on the railway.

A thin panel lit cluster including a graphics appliqu&eacute; with a first and second side and at least one opaque section and one translucent section. A light-carrying panel with a first and second side is positioned such that the first side is adjacent to the second side of the graphics appliqu&eacute;. The light-carrying panel has at least one opening defined in it and at least one light source is positioned to align with the opening. Opposite the light source, the light-carrying panel has a first light-redirecting area nearest its first side. In another position on the light-carrying panel, there is a second light-redirecting area nearest the second side of the light-carrying panel and opposite a translucent section of the graphics appliqu&eacute;.

A plastic sleeve covering containing an antimicrobial agent to resist or prevent the growth of microbes on the surface thereof, thereby preventing cross-contamination of subsequent users following the use of the item by an infected individual and especially items commonly used, such as writing pens, door handles, push-plate appliances for doors, and flush handles accompanying toilets in public facilities.

There is provided a self-stabilized apparatus for training an individual to kick balls. The apparatus includes a platform, having a pair of vertical posts exceeding therefrom. A ball, which is preferably a soccer ball, is attached to the posts by means of elastic bands. The user places one foot on the platform while kicking the ball with the other foot so that the apparatus is self-stabilized. The elastic bands cause the ball to return to its initial position after it has been kicked.
