A patentable invention must be “non-obvious” to someone of “ordinary skill in the art.” This does not include recognized experts in the field. One guideline of non-obviousness is when the change is somewhat surprising to one with “ordinary skill,” yet this someone is knowledgeable enough in the field to understand the utility of the invention.

We have (as have others) had many theories on what is called "stripping” diapers. We simply call it plain ole upkeep and something that should be done every now and then as a preventative measure in taking care of your diapers and prolonging their life. Although our diapers typically don’t have these problems, on occasion we do receive questions involving persistent stink. repelling fleece (or residue buildup on the fleece), fleece that stays wet or leaking diapers.

Friable means that a material is able to be reduced to a powder by hand pressure. Asbestos containing materials (ACM) that are friable have a much greater tendency to release fibers into the air. Conversely, non-friable asbestos containing materials, because of their nature, do not easily release their fibers into the air. This class of material must be mechanically impacted (power tools such as sanders, drills, chippers, saws, etc.) to release fibers.

RFP’s are a form of public bidding. In context of the law, RFP means any procedure a contracting agency is legally obligated to follow, usually involving a formal, publicly advertised request for businesses to submit proposals to provide goods or services where the value is above the agency’s bid threshold. It does NOT refer to informal requests for quotations.

Some coatings are designed to be mixed with multiple components before they can be applied. The second component is called an activator, hardener or catalyst. In some cases, a specific coating must undergo a chemical reaction with an activator or catalyst in order to achieve full cure. In other cases, a hardener will significantly speed the dry time and improve long-term durability of a coating.

MARC is the acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that emerged from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly forty years ago. It provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most library catalogs used today. MARC became USMARC in the 1980s and MARC 21 in the late 1990s.

Typically scooting or dragging their rear end across the floor means that it is time for your pet’s anal glands to be expressed. Anal sacs are located near the end of the rectum and are usually expressed when a pet has a bowel movement. However, loose stools or diarrhea (which can be caused by a change in diet) can cause the sacs to become impacted. This impaction is quite uncomfortable for your pet and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Volatile Organic Compound. This is a standard measure in the coatings industry, comparing weight over volume. That is, the pounds of VOC found in each gallon of a specific material. States have different regulations on maximum VOC contents. Some areas of California have very strict V.O.C. regulations which prevent Kirker from selling its products in that state.

Certain conditions and circumstances completely preclude individuals from being candidates for LASIK surgery. Non-candidates include individuals who: have diseases such as cataracts, advanced glaucoma, corneal diseases, corneal thinning disorders (keratoconus or pellucid marginal degeneration), or certain other pre-existing eye diseases that affect or threaten vision

You retain copyright of your material even when it is sent to the IB. However, the IB may need to copy it for examiners and moderators as part of the assessment process for your Certificate or Diploma. It also uses samples of candidate work to help teachers understand what the IB is looking for so that they can help students to better understand the course and prepare for examinations.

This refers to the time necessary for an electrical circuit breaker or disconnect to switch from an energized state to a deenergized state. A faster clearing time reduces the potential for an electric arc incident.

This means that you have seen all the questions in a particular question pool or set of Topics. The website will continue to drill you on the questions you have already seen. If you have not yet subscribed to the system, this message indicates that you have seen all the "free stuff".

from Dr. Marci Wolfe) Legally blind means that your best correctable vision is 20/200 or less. It would mean that even with the best optical aide you can only see the big “E” on the eye chart. Also if someone’s visual field is very restricted, meaning that they have lost a lot of peripheral vision, they may meet another criteria for being legally blind.

If there is a proper ventilation then there is no risk to keep on Laptop even more than 24 hours.. The danger to laptops is overheating. The bottom gets hot, so be careful where you put it.

The term “recoat window” refers to a period during which a specific paint material may be topcoated with no surface preparation required. The result is a chemical bond between the two. After the recoat window has closed, the coating will need to be abraded before it can be topcoated. This allows for a mechanical bond between the two materials. Recoat windows are varied, and change with each coating material and according to the specific conditions.

Single stage finish is one that requires no separate clearcoat. In traditional paint systems, or basecoat/clearcoat systems, the color is applied first, then a separate clear coat is required to give the finish a glossy appearance and durability. Kirker’s paints are designed as single-stage, meaning one application is all that is needed to achieve both color and gloss.
