McGuire, Grosse Pointe, Mich.
Application March 27, 1952, Serial No. 278,985
1 Claim. (Cl. 77-62) This invention relates to a method and apparatus for making a molded honeycomb structure from rubber or rubber-like synthetic materials, and in particular, it involves a means for making a mold of extremely accurate configuration whereby the walls of the molded honeycomb are of extremely exact and uniform thickness,
Such molded honeycomb structures have a manifold number of uses, but they are particularly well adapted as load bearing structures, and in such connection, they are very well suited for use as shoe insoles. A honeycomb structure made of a composite pneumatic material is disclosed in my former Patent No. 2,189,813, issued February 13, 1940, wherein I disclose a flexible material having sealed air pockets so constructed that a load may be supported on the material almost entirely by air. In the manufacture of the honeycomb structure, it is essential that the walls defining the air pockets be of uniform thickness in order to properly support any load that is placed on the structure. In the past, molded honeycomb structures have, at times, been objected to because of the lack of uniformity in the Wall structure which if sufficiently non-uniform tended to cause failure of the material when subjected to a substantial load.
By means of my method and apparatus, I have made it possible to provide a mold which is of an extremely high degree of accuracy, so that a molded honeycomb structure can be produced from the mold which will have walls defining the cell structure of extremely exact and uniform thickness. In preparing the molded honeycomb structure, it has been conventional practice to provide two opposed mold plates with interfitting pins which define an air space or air cell when the mold is charged with the material which is to be molded. It is obvious that in order to prepare a molded honeycomb structure having uniform wall thicknesses that these pins in the mold plates must be uniformly spaced, and in the past this has repre sented a problem difficult of attainment without using special and expensive jigs and forms. By means of my invention, I have provided a jig strip which is simple and inexpensive to construct and can be employed with a minimum of labor in preparing the mold plate. Further, by use of my jig strip, I have made it possible to space the air defining cells in the mold plate with an extremely high degree of accuracy so as to insure a uniform wall thickness in the molded honeycomb structure produced by the mold.
My jig strip greatly minimizes the expense and labor which has heretofore been required where a master jig was used which corresponded in complete detail to the mold and the pin spacing therein, especially is this saving in expense and labor of extreme importance in the production of a mold or molds for sheets of honeycomb material containing large numbers of cells (for example sheets having 5,000 to 9,000 honeycombed cells molded in each surface thereof).
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for preparing a molded honeycomb structure having a uniform wall thickness.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a simple jig strip which can be easily employed with a minimum of labor to manufacture a mold plate according to the process of this invention.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method for spacing pins in a mold plate which are positioned with respect to one another uniformly and with an extremely high degree of accuracy.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a jig in strip form made of readily available material which can be used in a number of sequential operations to lay out a mold plate or plates of exacting design and accuracy.
Reference may now be had to the accompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment of my invention of which a detailed description is 'given below.

Fig. 15 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of a mold plate and pins associated therewith.
It is to be realized that these drawings are for purpose of illustration only since obviously these drawings cannot convey the very great number of holes and/ or mold pins which may actually be contained in mold plates required for production of honeycomb material.
Referring to Fig. l, the element 1 indicates a molded honeycomb structure adapted tov be produced from the mold forms of this invention. This molded honeycomb structure has side Walls 2 of uniform thickness which define air spaces or air cells 3. It is to be realized that these air spaces conform to the shape of the mold and can be made to conform to any desired configuration.
The mold device of my invention is shown generally at 4 in Figs. 2 and 3 and is shown as comprising mold plates 5 and 7 connected together by a hinge 6 at one end. These mold plates are shown as being provided with pins 8 which are adapted to interengage when the" mold plates are adjusted to the operating position shown in Fig. 2. The mold plate 7 is further provided with four studs 9 along its outer edges which are adapted to engage recesses 10 in mold plate 5 so as to limit the closure of the mold plate to that shown in Fig. 2, so that the molding medium which may be a rubber latex composition, a synthetic resin or the like may flow over the free end of pins 8 to define an end Wall 11 of the molded honeycomb structure shown in Fig. l. A handle 12 is provided at one end of mold plate 7 so that the mold device maybe conveniently carried.
A blank strip of material is shown at 13, and this is the stock from which my jig strip is made. This jig strip is shown in completed form in Fig. 6 as comprising two parallel rows of spaced holes 14. In the preliminary stage of construction of the mold plate 7, the plate is drilled with a straight line of spaced holes 15, as shown in Fig. 8 at one side of the mold plate, and these holes are adapted to receive pins 8 in the final stage of construction. The jig strip 13 is adapted to be held in proper position on mold plate 7 by inserting dowels 16 to jig strip holes 14 and the holes 15 of the mold plate, as shown in Figs. 8, l1 and 12.
The method for constructing my novel jig strip and mold device comprises the following sequential operations. The blank jig strip 13 is placed upon the table of a conventional vertical mill (not shown) provided with a calibrated transverse screw for moving the mill table relative to the drill of the vertical mill. One row of holes 14 is then drilled in a straight line along the length of the jig blank 13 by properly positioning the setting of the mill table at preset, equally spaced, calibrated positions. A second row of parallel holes 14, spaced a distance from the first row equal to the aforementioned settings, -is then drilled using the same calibrations as employed for the first row of holes. It is apparent that by this operation, any one hole 14 is spaced the same distance from the corresponding hole in the neighboring parallel row, as it is from the immediate hole adjacent to it on either side in the same row as the hole in questron.
The blank mold plate 7 is then placed on the table of the vertical mill and is drilled with a series of holes 15 in a straight row at one side using the same calibration of the transverse screw of the vertical mill as was used in drilling the holes 14 of the jig strip 13, so as to insure that these holes are equally spaced and correspond to the same spacing as that of holes 14 in the jig plate. Alternatively, the jig strip 13 may be used in spotting and drilling these holes to decrease the labor involved.
The jig strip 13 is then placed on mold plate 7 in the position shown in Fig. 8 and is secured to the mold plate by means of dowel pins 16 which engage holes 14 in the jig plate and holes 15 in the mold plate. A row of holes 15 is spotted and drilled from the jig plate in the center of the mold plate and at one side thereof, as shown in Fig. 9, and this is done to insure that a transverse spacing is obtained which corresponds exactly to the spacing of the respective holes in the first named row of holes at the side of the mold plate 7. The newly started center and side row of holes 15, shown in Fig. 9, is completed, as shown in Fig. 10, by placing the mold plate upon the vertical mill as mentioned above and completing the drilling operation by using the same spacing between holes as obtained by the calibrated transverse screw, as described above, so that the spacing between the holes in the individual rows, as shown in Fig. 10, is the same in all cases. Or, if desired, the jig plate 13 may be shifted to a vertical position on the newly started center and side row of holes shown in Fig. 9 to spot and complete the rest of the holes in the vertical rows to obtain the partially completed mold plate of Fig. 10. Obviously this latter operation requires less labor than using the vertical mill with the necessity of advancing the transverse feed screw of the vertical mill for each hole spacing to a preset calibrated position.
Using the partially completed mold plate of Fig. 10, the jig plate 13 is first secured at the bottom of the mold plate at right angles to the three rows of holes and secured by placing dowel pins 16 so as to engage the holes of the jig plate and the corresponding holes of the mold plate at the side and center rows. A transverse row of holes is then spotted in the mold plate 7 from the holes 14 in the jig plate. After this operation of spotting one complete set of two parallel rows is consummated, the jig strip is then advanced another two rows and secured by the use of the dowel pins as mentioned above. The operation is then repeated over and over again until the jig strip has been advanced to the top of the mold plate 7 so as to completely spot and enable precise drilling of all the holes in the mold plate. The method for securing the jig strip to the mold plate by the use of the dowel pins 16 is shown in Fig. 12.
The mating mold plate 5, to the completed mold plate 7, is shown in blank form in Fig. 13. To insure that holes are spotted and drilled in this blank mold plate 5 the previously prepared mold plate 7 is used as a master jig in order to make certain that holes will be drilled in this mold plate 5 exactly between the centers of the hole in the corresponding mate, that is mold plate '7.
To carry out this process, the distance between the cen-.
ters of the immediately adjacent holes 15 and mold plate 7 is first measured oif. Once this has been done the mold plate 7 is placed directly on top of the blank mold plate 5, so as to coincide exactly with it. The mold plate 7 is then lowered vertically a distance corresponding exactly to one-half the aforementioned measured distance between the immediately adjacent hole centers and is also shifted horizontally the same distance. The completed operation is shown in Fig. 14, and from this position, holes may be spotted on and drilled in the mold plate 5, and it can readily be seen that when the two mold plates are superimposed upon one another so as to have their edges exactly coincide, the holes in each mold plate will fall between the corresponding holes of the mating mold plate so that there is an extremely exact and uniform spacing between these holes. The holes 15, in mold plates 5 and 7, are then provided with pins 8 which may have a free end of a frusto-conical form as shown in Fig. 15. The completed mold plates 5 and 7 are then provided with hinges 6, as shown in Fig. 3, and it is manifest that by the above-mentioned sequential operations, a mold plate device has been provided in which the mold pins are so spaced that they are positioned in uniform and exact distance from the immediately adjacent pins when the mold plates are in the operative molding position.
The molding operation itself may be accomplished from my novel molding device in known and conventional manner by charging the mold device with an appropriate molding medium, such as rubber composite material, synthetic resins and the like, and subjecting the mold device to pressure and increased temperature, if required. By this operation, a molded honey-comb structure, shown in Fig. l as element 1, will be produced which will have side walls of an extremely exact and uniform thickness so that no failure of the structure will occur in any one locality due to unnaturally thin walls when a load is placed upon the medium. By virtue of uniform walls the possibility is obviated of having punctured cell walls, thus creating within the material the defect of air escaping from cell to cell within the completed honeycomb structure and possibly weakening the structure as a result. If desired, a sealing sheet may be disposed on the top and the bottom of the molded honeycomb structure so as to seal in the air spaces 3, and this can be done in a conventional manner as disclosed in my aforementioned Patent No. 2,189,813. It is manifest that such a molded honeycomb structure, having substantially uniform wall thicknesses, can be conveniently used in a manifold number of fields, as well as for shoe insoles, such as for refrigeration insulation, load-bearing structures in aircraft having a minimum of weight, boxcars, in the building trades and the like.
By means of my novel jig strip and process, I have made it possible to drill holes in the mold plate in a minimum number of operations and in such a way as to insure accuracy in spacing the holes a uniform distance from one another, and have, at the same time, substantially reduced the equipment outlay in such an operation.
It will be obvious that certain changes and modifications may be made within the teachings of this invention as will readily appear to those skilled in the art, and it is desired that this invention be limited only as set forth in the appended claims.
What is claimed is: v
A method of making a mold plate having multiple pins seated in a checkerboard patternof multiple equidistant holes of the same diameter, comprising forming a. first rectilinear vertical row of circular holes of uniform diameter in said plate spaced equidistantly apart from one another, forming a circular starting hole for a second rectilinear vertical row of circular pinholes of the same diameter as the holes of the first vertical row with its center disposed on a horizontal line extending from the center of one of the holes of said first vertical row perpendicularly thereto at a distance therefrom equal to a multiple of the hole spacing thereof, forming a second rectilinear vertical row of equidistantly-spaced circular pinholes of the same diameter as the holes of the first vertical row extending from said starting hole parallel to the first vertical row thereof, preparing a jig strip with a rectilinear horizontal row of circular guide holes of substantially the same diameter as the previously-mentioned pin holes spaced equidistantly apart from one another at the same spacing as the vertical row holes, temporarily securing certain holes of said jig strip in alignment with corresponding holes in said first and second vertical rows whereby to position the row of jig strip holes in a horizontal line perpendicular to said vertical rows of holes, passing a circular machining tool of substantially the same diameter as the holes of the two vertical rows through the jig strip holes other than the aligned jig strip holes into said circular plate to form plate holes in a first horizontal row thereof, shifting said jig strip vertically parallel to its previous position into alignment of its said certain holes with another set of corresponding holes in said first and second vertical rows respectively, passing said circular machining tool of substantially the same diameter as the holes of the two vertical rows through the jig strip holes other than the aligned jig strip holes into said plate to form circular plate holes in a second horizontal row thereof, and repeating the aforesaid shifting and aligning and passing of the said circular machining tool through said jig strip holes into said plate to complete the checkerboard pattern of said plate holes.

Jessica Simpson's Dog Daisy: Snatched By Coyote!by Free Britney at . Comments
It's just not Jessica Simpson's year.
First celeb gossip sites post photos of her looking fat, then her country music label drops her from its lineup, then Tony Romo dumps her a night before her birthday, romancing younger, hotter Candice Crawford soon after. Rough.
The alleged singer-actress was dealt a new, sad setback last night when her beloved dog Daisy was abducted, allegedly by a coyote, in Southern California.
The maltipoo, which Nick Lachey gave Jessica as a sign of their undying love once upon a time, may have met a tragic demise similar to their marriage.
Jessica Tweeted that the "carmel [sic] colored" pup was snatched "right in front of her eyes" by a coyote last night. We're guessing Daisy wasn't on a leash.
She posted this reward notice:
Poor Daisy. Just look at that face! Sniff.
Coyotes have been roaming closer to the human population with the wildfires in the area driving them out of their natural habitat. People are being advised not to leave trash or pets outside as snacks for these hungry, wild animals.
Daisy is not the only casualty of this unfortunate scenario. Coyotes have to eat too. Keep dogs and cats inside, people of the L.A. metropolitan area.
We truly are sorry about Daisy and hope Jessica miraculously gets her back or adopts a new pet. Daisy can't be replaced, but all puppies are cute.
Maybe John Mayer can comfort her too.
i feel so bad for that poor dog. jessica should have been paying closer attention to her. i agree with most of the others that she will probably not be found alive. rip daisy
too bad it didnt get ashley instead
We have a coyote problem in my Texas neighborhood. I have lost a cat to coyotes and my neighbors have lost their small dogs. Since mankind has destroyed the coyote's territory with houses and shopping centers, the coyotes have no choice but to feed on small pets. People have to be aware of what is in their neighborhood. People in my neighborhood no longer keep their pets out at night and small dogs are walked with leashes. Jessica knows there are coyotes in her area, why wasn't she walking the dog on a leash. She will not find the dog alive. Her neighbors heard screaming because it was being killed and eaten. That is nature. I do feel sorry and bad for her dog, however, why is Jessica getting so much publicity for this.
Give it up.....the coyote is not looking for ransom, its looking for lunch
Help with what? If a coyote snatched the dog, there's nothing to be found. Hey, I feel for the dog, but that's nature....

SINGAPORE -- (Marketwire) -- 01/03/13 -- As companies increasingly turn to the cloud for all things IT, the commonly held notion that cloud computing is not a mature technology is beginning to be dispelled. When it comes to chip design, the problem-solvers at innovative start-up Plunify are utilizing the cloud to give FPGA designers a platform to dramatically accelerate chip design workflows -- and save time and money in the process.
As chip design complexity continues to rise -- what can be done to keep costs and verification times in check? In the face of time and resource constraints, how can FPGA designers deliver results?
Chip design in the cloud signals an exciting new direction for the industry, and presents a host of advantages over traditional methods. Harnhua Ng, director of engineering for Plunify, explains that, "Before Plunify, lengthy, repetitive build iterations were necessary for each design, implementation was slow and design collaboration was extremely limited. Now, with multiple servers accelerating design flow and the cloud providing secure design collaboration capabilities, the sky (no pun intended!) is the limit for FPGA designers. Plunify also gives designers access to advanced analysis and verification tools as well as hardware on demand -- on a pay for what you need, when you need it basis. By combining all of this into a one-stop-shop for chip design, Plunify's approach can generate a savings of greater than 50 percent -- with a TCO reduction of between 35 and 55 percent."
Chip design companies are looking to reduce development costs as well as shorten their products' time-to-market. Design and verification include compute-intensive processes like complex simulations, rigorous regression testing and meticulous timing closure. By maximizing the parallelism and flexibility of cloud computing, Plunify enables these tasks to be performed at a fraction of the time and with significantly less overhead -- dramatically shortening time-to-market and improving results. Personal datacenters give engineers freedom -- no longer do they need to spend hours crafting and waiting for different iterations.
Combining knowledge of both the semiconductor and cloud computing industries to accelerate chip design is an idea whose time has come. Plunify's solutions harness cloud computing's value in parallelizing design workflows, tackling resource bottlenecks and under-utilization -- solving longer term IT problems such as scaling and provisioning -- while also addressing the immediate issue of speeding up product time-to-market.
Plunify invites chip designers to experience a free trial by registering at: https://www.plunify.com/en/register.php
To learn more, please visit www.Plunify.com, like them on Facebook or follow the company on Twitter. Plunify will be showcasing its solutions at CES from January 8-11, 2013, as part of Suite Innovation.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Feel free to excerpt these tips or use them in their entirety for any print or broadcast story, with acknowledgment of source. ALL DRESSED UP: Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame. Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility. Because masks can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic makeup and decorative hats as safer alternatives. Hats should fit properly to prevent them from sliding over eyes. When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories look for and purchase those with a label clearly indicating they are flame resistant. If a sword, cane, or stick is a part of your child's costume, make sure it is not sharp or too long. A child may be easily hurt by these accessories if he stumbles or trips. Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts. Do not use decorative contact lenses without an eye examination and a prescription from an eye care professional. While the packaging on decorative lenses will often make claims such as "one size fits all," or "no need to see an eye specialist," obtaining decorative contact lenses without a prescription is both dangerous and illegal. This can cause pain, inflammation, and serious eye disorders and infections, which may lead to permanent vision loss. Teach children how to call 9-1-1 (or their local emergency number) if they have an emergency or become lost. CARVING A NICHE: Small children should never carve pumpkins. Children can draw a face with markers. Then parents can do the cutting. Consider using a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to light your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest. Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable objects, and should never be left unattended. HOME SAFE HOME: To keep homes safe for visiting trick-or-treaters, parents should remove from the porch and front yard anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations. Parents should check outdoor lights and replace burned-out bulbs. Wet leaves or snow should be swept from sidewalks and steps. Restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on or bite a trick-or-treater. ON THE TRICK-OR-TREAT TRAIL: A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds. If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home. Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat. Because pedestrian injuries are the most common injuries to children on Halloween, remind Trick-or-Treaters. Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going. Remember reflective tape for costumes and trick-or-treat bags. Carry a cellphone for quick communication. Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk. If no sidewalk is available, walk at the far edge of the roadway facing traffic. Never cut across yards or use alleys. Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks (as recognized by local custom). Never cross between parked cars or out driveways. Don't assume the right of way. Motorists may have trouble seeing Trick-or-Treaters. Just because one car stops, doesn't mean others will! Law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity. HEALTHY HALLOWEEN: A good meal prior to parties and trick-or-treating will discourage youngsters from filling up on Halloween treats. Consider purchasing non-food treats for those who visit your home, such as coloring books or pens and pencils. Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items. Try to ration treats for the days following Halloween. ©2014 American Academy of Pediatrics Related Information Energy Drinks Can Harm Children The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) informs that energy drinks can harm children. Gluten-Free Camp a Hit for Kids with Celiac Disease The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) highlights the benefits achieved by children with celiac disease who attended a gluten-free camp.

4 Claims, 7 Drawing Figures PLATE GLASS SAFETY BAR BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to the field of safety bars. More particularly, this invention relates to safety bars adapted for use in installation and removal of sheets of plate glass in or from plate glass doors.
2. Description of the Prior Art Heretofore in the plate glass industry the services of two men have been required to install a large sheet of plate glass in a plate glass door. Similarly, the services of two men have also been required to perform the task of removing the sheet of plate glass from a door when the glass must be replaced for reasons such as being cracked, being defective, etc. The services of these two men have always been required because one was needed to perform the function of holding the glass in place while the other works on the molding to set or remove blocks, molding, retainers and similar structure which must either be removed or set for removal or installation of the glass.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention presents a safety bar for holding the plate glass of a plate glass door in place during installation or removal of the sheet of plate glass, thus eliminating the need for the use of two men during installation or removal. The safety bar of the present invention has an elongated main bar which is, preferably, of telescoping configuration. A hook at one end of the bar is adapted to fit into a screw hole in the inner leaf or hinge side molding of a plate glass door. An adjustable slide is mounted on the other end of the bar, this slide being adaptable for engagement with the outer leaf or molding of the plate glass door whereby the bar is then held in place on the door molding. One or more rubber blocks, preferably of suction cup configuration, are positioned intermediate of the ends of the bar, and these rubber cups bear against the plate glass whereby the sheet of plate glass is held in place. Since the plate glass is thus held in place by the safety bar, only one man is required to perform the necessary work in setting or removing blocks, retainers, or any other structure which is necessary to be set or removed in order to either install or remove the sheet of plate glass from the door.
Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved safety bar for use in setting and removing sheets of plate glass from a plate glass door.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved safety bar for setting and removing sheets of plate glass from the plate glass door whereby only the services of one man are required for the setting and removal operations.
Other objects and advantages will be apparentand understood to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Referring now to the drawings, wherein like elements are numbered alike in the several figures, FIG. I is a perspective of a plate glass door with a broken pane of glass.
2 FIG. 2 is an enlarged showing of the broken door of FIG. 1 with the safety bar of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a view depicting the insertion of a replacement sheet of glass in the broken door.
FIG. 4 is a view of a detail of the safety bar of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the preferred configuration of the safety bar of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a view of a detail of the safety bar of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a detail view of one end of the safety bar.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIG. 1, a double plate glass door installation is shown. One of the doors, indicated generally at 10, has a broken glass pane 12. The door has a frame or molding including a-hinge leaf I4, and outer leaf l6, and lower and upper elements 18 and 20, respectively (see FIG. 2). A handle 22 is mounted on the hinge and outer leafs 14 and 16 and extends across the width of the door. Referring now to FIG. 2, an enlarged view of door 10 is shown with handle 22 and its mounting structure having been removed. Removal of the handle and its mounting structure exposes one or more operating holes 24 and one or more screw holes 26 in hinge leaf 14, as well as in outer leaf 16.
Still referring to FIG. 2, the safety bar 28 of the present invention is shown. Bar 28 has an elongated bar ele ment 30, preferably of rectangular configuration. A hook 32 is positioned adjacent one end of bar element 30, hook 32 being adapted to engage one of the holes 24 or 26 in hinge leaf 14. An adjustable slide 34 is slideably mounted on the other end of bar element 30, slide 34 being a U-shaped channel element adapted to engage outer leaf 16. A pair of rubber blocks 36 and 38 are mounted on rod 30 on the same side thereof as book 32 and the main channel of slide 34, these rubber blocks 36 and 38 being adapted to bear against and engage plate glass pane 12 when the safety bar is mounted on door 10. Blocks 36 and 38 may be mounted on rod 30, in any manner, such as by bonding or by screw fasteners passing through mounting holes as shown in FIG. 6.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a detail is shown of slide 34 mounted on the bar 30. As can be seen, slide 34 is a U- shaped channel element having a rectangular opening 40 at'one end of the connecting web between the legs of the channel. Opening 40 is sized so that slide 34 mounts on and is slideable along bar 30 so that its posi tions on bar 30 can be adjusted, as shown in the dotted positions in FIG. 4 to accomodate doors of varying width. Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 5, safety bar 28 will be described as mounted on the door, the bar being shown in its mounted position in the dotted line in FIG. 3 and the showing of FIG. 5 being a. plan view of the bar mounted on the door. To mount the bar on the door, hook 32 is inserted into screw opening 26 so that it ex tends into the interior of hinge leaf 14. During this insertion of book 32, bar 30 may be in any general angular position, with respect to the door. After insertion of hook 16, bar 30 is positioned so that it extends across the door substantially perpendicular to each of the hinge and outer leafs l4 and 16 as shown in FIG. 3, and, as can be seen, the end of the bar on which slide 34 is mounted extends beyond outer leaf 16. Slide 34 is moved to a position on bar 30 beyond outer leaf l6, and it is then returned toward outer leaf 16 whereby the U-Channel engages outer leaf 16 to secure the bar to the door, the bar being held in position by reaction forces between slide 34 and bar 28 resulting from the sizing of opening 40 and the sizing of slide 34 and frame member 16. Rubber blocks 36 and 38 are thus brought into contact and bearing engagement with plate glass pane 12. Bar 28 is thus firmly mounted on the door, and the bearing engagement between blocks 36 and 38 and glass pane 12 serves to retain the glass pane in the door molding structure. With the glass pane thus firmly retained in place, one man can then proceed to work on the door to remove blocks, retainers or similar molding elements so that the glass pane can eventually be removed.
After the retaining elements have been removed, slide 34 is then moved outwardly to disengage from outer leaf l6, and bar 28 is then pivoted to the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 3, hook 32 still being retained in the screw opening in hinge leaf 14. With bar 28 thus moved clear of the glass pane, the broken pane can be removed and a new pane, indicated at 12a in FIG. 3, can then be inserted into the door. After the insertion of this new pane, bar 28 is again mounted to the dotted position as shown in FIG. 3, as previously described, so that the new pane is retained in place while one man works to replace the blocks, retainers and similar molding elements to complete the installation of the new glass pane.
As shown in FIG. 5 the preferred configuration for bar 30 is a two piece configuration wherein one part 32a is adjustable or telescopable with respect to the other element 32b. These telescoping parts are held together by a pair of retaining screws 42 which pass through an elongated slot opening in part 320 and are threaded into part 32b.
Referring now to FIG. 6, an alternative configuration is shown for the construction of the rubber blocks. The rubber blocks have previously been described as being solid pieces in the nature of pads or the like. As shown in FIG. 6, these blocks have central recesses 44 whereby the blocks may act as and serve as suction cups.
Referring now to FIG. 7, a cover plate 46 is shown pivotably mounted to the end of elongated bar element 30. Cover plate 46 when positioned as shown in FIG. 7 serves to protect hook 32 against accidental damage by impact or otherwise. When it is desired to expose hook 32 for mounting of the safety bar, plate 46 is merely pivoted into or out of the plane of the paper so that it is pivoted out of the way and hook 32 exposed.
As can be seen from the foregoing description, a novel and improved safety bar has been presented and described which, when properly used, makes it possible for plate glass door panes to be installed or removed by one man.
While a preferred embodiment has been shown and described, various modifications and substitutions may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the present invention has been described by way of illustration and not limitation.
What is claimed is:
1. A safety bar for use in changing a sheet of material normally supported in a frame, said bar comprising:
elongated bar element means, said bar element means consisting of at least two pieces longitudinally adjustable with respect to each other;
hook means positioned adjacent one end of said bar element means for engaging said bar means with a pre-existing opening in a face surface of a frame; adjustable U-shaped slide element means mounted for movement along said bar element means for adjustably engaging said bar means with an edge surface of the frame to position said bar means in a fixed relationship with the frame, said slide means being spaced from said hook means, said hook means and slide means extending from the same side of said bar means; and
bearing means mounted on said bar element means at a point within the frame for bearing against a sheet of material in the frame.
2. A safety bar as in claim 1 wherein:
said bearing means includes a pair of spaced apart resilient elements.
3. A safety bar as in claim 1 wherein:
said bearing means includes suction cup means.
4. A safety bar as in claim 1 further including:
cover means for protecting said hook means.

Ranch dressing is my absolute favorite condiment and dip practically everything in it. So I thought instead of buttermilk, why not Ranch!

New this week in the Rhino Room at iTunes:
Theodore Bikel, An Actor's Holiday / Folk Songs Of Israel / Jewish Folk Songs / Songs Of A Russian Gypsy / Folk Songs From Just About Everywhere / Bravo Bikel! - Theodore Bikel Town Hall Concert / Songs Of Russia Old And New / From Bondage To Freedom / A Harvest Of Israeli Folksongs / The Best Of Bikel / Theodore Bikel On Tour / Young Man and a Maid: Goodness gracious, we're tired just from typing all of those album titles, but if you're a fan of Theodore Bikel's substantial discography, we can only imagine how thrilled you are to see a dozen – that's twelve, count 'em, twelve – of his albums being added to our digital catalog. For many of you, Bikel may be best known as an actor, so this is certainly a wonderful time to dig in and explore some of the material he's recorded over the years. Granted, if this is your first exposure to his work, it's only inevitable that the best starting point is The Best of Bikel, but from a historical standpoint, consider how daring it was for Bikel to record Songs of a Russian Gypsy in 1958, when Americans were still in full "Better Dead than Red" mode. As album titles go, if there's one that most exemplifies truth in advertising – not just for the record's contents but, indeed, for Bikel's entire career – it's Folk Songs from Just About Everywhere: any one of these albums will provide you not only with a musical education but with a cultural one as well…or, in other words, start listening!
In recent years, the sight of a porkpie hat has inspired most people to think of one word – Heisenberg – but prior to the premiere of Breaking Bad, it used to be the chapeau of choice for rude boys... and if you don't know what a rude boy is, then, boy, do you need to run out and pick up our latest 180-gram vinyl releases!
First and foremost, we'd recommend The Best of 2-Tone, because it's evident that you need a proper education in ska, and when it comes to a solid sampling of the genre, you need look no further than this set, which features material from The Beat ("The Tears of a Clown," "Ranking Full Stop"), The Bodysnatchers ("Let's Do Rock Steady"), Madness ("The Prince"), Rico ("Sea Cruise"), The Selecter ("The Selecter," "On My Radio," "Three Minute Hero," "Missing Words"), The Special AKA ("Gangsters," an edited version of "Nelson Mandela," a live version of "Too Much Too Young," and "The Boiler"), and The Specials ("A Message to You Rudy," "Rat Race," "Stereotype," "Do Nothing," and "Ghost Town").
Flautist fans! We bet you are dying to get your hands on an Ian Anderson-autographed copy of Jethro Tull's A PASSION PLAY: AN EXTENDED PERFORMANCE, the original 1973 album and Chateau d' Herouville Sessions, remixed to 5.1 surround. Don't think about it, just enter to win already.
Yes, there have been ZZ Top greatest-hits collections in the past, and, yes, they've all been rather solid, but now the band is bringing you not only the baddest of their material but also the very baddest. Okay, so maybe the differentiation between the two is predominantly that one's a single-disc compilation and the other's a two-disc set. Either way, they're both pretty darned bad…by which, of course, we mean that they rock pretty darned hard.
In the press release which accompanied the news of this release, Billy Gibbons – who, along with Dusty Hill and Frank Beard, founded the band in 1969 – observed from beneath his beard that he and his bandmates were "glad that material originally issued by three different labels over the course of all these years will now be housed under one 'roof,' to so speak," calling it "kind of a big, bad family reunion on some level." By that, of course, Gibbons means that, in addition to their tremendous back catalog on Warner Brothers, these collections also feature inclusions from their more recent albums on RCA and Universal.
We've got 2 killer albums being reissued on 180-gram vinyl this week... dig in here:
Duran Duran, Rio: Do we really need to sell you on this album beyond listing off its trifecta of hit singles? Seriously, if the knowledge that you're getting "Hungry Like the Wolf," "Save a Prayer," and the title track aren't enough to make you want to pick up this vinyl reissue, we can't help you.

Oral Contraceptives Reduce Ovarian Cancer Risk
Aimee Simone, Assistant Editor
Published Online:
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
The risk of developing ovarian cancer was reduced by more than a fourth for women who had ever taken oral contraceptives and by more than half for those who had taken them for at least 10 years.
The findings of a new review article suggest that women taking birth control pills have a reduced risk for developing ovarian cancer. The
, published online on June 3, 2013, in
Obstetrics and Gynecology
, included data collected from 55 previous studies conducted on oral contraceptive use in women.
Researchers from Duke University searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and ClinicalTrials.gov for controlled studies or meta-analyses that reported a link between oral contraception use and incidence of ovarian cancer. Studies included were limited to those published from January 1990 to June 2012 to ensure the pills studied had similar formulations to those commonly used today. A pair of researchers was assigned to review each relevant article to decide whether the study would be included in the analysis.
Meta-analyses were conducted to test the relationship between ovarian cancer incidence and use of oral contraceptives, duration of contraceptive use, formulation used, age at first use, and time passed since last use. Primary analyses were limited to studies conducted from 2000 to 2012, but sensitivity analyses included data from older studies.
After analyzing 24 controlled studies, the researchers found that women who had ever used oral contraceptives had a risk of ovarian cancer that was reduced by almost 28% compared with those who had never taken birth control pills. In addition, the risk of developing ovarian cancer was reduced by more than half for women who had been taking an oral contraceptive for 10 years or longer.
The researchers also observed that women who began taking oral contraceptives at younger ages had a decreased risk of ovarian cancer. However, the effects of age at first use could not be differentiated from the effects of duration of use. Analysis of 2 large population cohort studies also showed a significant decrease in mortality caused by ovarian cancer in women taking oral contraceptives. Overall, the researchers determined that approximately 1 case of ovarian cancer is prevented for every 185 women who take oral contraceptives for 5 years.
Although a significant association between oral contraceptives and reduced risk of ovarian cancer was confirmed in the review, the authors caution against using the results as a basis for clinical decisions. More research, specifically on the effects of duration, needs to be conducted before researchers can recommend taking an oral contraceptive as a means of preventing ovarian cancer. Until then, the findings can serve as additional information for women to consider when weighing the benefits and risks of birth control pills.

The Blog For Your API Is The Most Important Signals You Can Send
Posted on 08-08-2014
A blog is such a simple thing, but when it comes to the world of APIs, it can be one of the most important signals for whether or not an API is worthy of integration, or you should just move on and continue looking for another API to use. I know many folks will dismiss that a blog is so relevant, especially if they are coming from IT or developer disciplines--I respectfully decline.
In reality, a blog not only provides a great way to keep API consumers up to date, it also provides the essential human face to any API operation. An API's blog provides a regular flow of information that show there is someone behind the curtain, who is not just working on the API, but actively is contributing ideas to the API community, and is there to support.
A blog is the number one signal for me when evaluating the quality of an API. I track on whether an API has a blog, how of the blog is updated, and how long since the last post. Using these signals, it is pretty easy to tell when a public API is getting the resources it needs, and when the support for a public API is losing steam within a company.
Here is an example of this in action—back in April I commented on the ESPN API:
It is sad that the last ESPN "API-focused musings and ramblings" was 1 year ago ;-( http://t.co/sMWDoFtacJ >> I prefer them more often
— Kin Lane (@kinlane) April 16, 2014
Sure enough, four short months later, ESPN announces they are shutting down their public APIs. The existence of a blog for your API shows that you care about with your API community, regular blog posts show that you are thinking about your API community regularly and want to share stories with them, and when your blog goes silent, it speaks volumes about what is going on behind the curtain--run for the hills!
What does your blog say about your API? Storytelling via a blog can be one of the most powerful tools in your API management toolbox, but be careful an inactive API blog can quickly become the canary in the coal mine when it comes to imminent demise of a public API.

Economy & Finance
Foreign cash swings Mexico's markets
Financial Times - Recently released balance of payments figures by Mexico's central bank leave no doubt on how the Fed's monetary policy hurts or benefits emerging economies. The Mexican economy saw an outflow of funds worth $4.9 billion in the second quarter.
Jobless rate dips in October in sign of recovery
Reuters - Mexico's unemployment rate fell in October, the national statistics agency said on Monday, in sign that a nascent economic recovery was holding up at the start of the fourth quarter.
Over $1 billion is riding on Mexico's qualification
New Zealand Herald - We now know what Mexico had at stake. The price of failing against the All Whites and not progressing to the World Cup has been estimated to be as high as $1 billion. The huge figure shows what drove the Mexican players at the Azteca Stadium.
Carstens urges careful unwinding of Fed's QE
Reuters - Mexican central bank governor Agustin Carstens on Thursday called on the Federal Reserve to execute a "careful unwinding" of its massive bond-buying program, and said Mexico was prepared in the event of massive capital outflows that could result.
Carstens says Fed taper could be good for Mexico
CNBC - The winding down of the U.S. Federal Reserve's asset purchasing program is generally viewed as negative for Mexico and other emerging markets. Yet, if managed properly, the "taper" of the program could be positive for these markets, says Agustin Carstens, Governor of the Bank of Mexico.
Business leaders say energy overhaul is urgent need
EFE - Mexico's powerful CCE business federation urged lawmakers to pass an historic energy overhaul without delay, saying the country "can't wait any longer." If congressional approval is delayed, "we Mexicans will continue to pay more for fuel and raw materials," CCE's Energy Commission president Jaime Williams Quintero, said.
S&P says Mexico has scope for further reforms
Reuters - Mexico has room for further fiscal reform to improve its tax base because a bill passed by Congress last week still leaves it well behind countries with stronger revenues, credit ratings agency Standard & Poor's said on Thursday.
2013 growth forecast cut by half due to export lag
Bloomberg - Mexican policymakers cut their growth forecast for this year in half after stagnant exports and a flagging construction industry led them to reduce interest rates by the most since the 2009 recession.
October inflation rises to 3.36 percent
CNNExpansión - Consumer prices in Mexico rose 0.48 percent in October to stand at 3.36 percent annual rate, given the increase in electricity tariffs by the end of the warm season allowance in some cities.
Carstens says inflation to remain above target in 2014
Bloomberg - Mexico central bank Governor Agustin Carstens said 2014 inflation will remain above target next year after Congress approved higher taxes on junk food and soda. Mexico's inflation rate will accelerate to about 3.5 percent next year, he said.

Tech blunders, catastrophes and epic fails of 2012: review
Summary: Thanksgiving is over, and we're heading into December. It's time for a look back at all the blunders, catastrophes, epic fails and major screw-ups of 2012.
21 of 27Image
Apple Maps was an abysmal failure
Apple sparked a controversy when it decided to distance itself from Google in the wake of Steve Jobs' "thermonuclear war" against Android by dropping Google Maps from its iOS mobile operating system. The maker of shiny rectangles instead developed its own in-house mapping service, which after launch it was widely dubbed a massive failure.
It just didn't work. Locations were in the wrong place, companies were missing, and imaging errors turned some famous landmarks into some kind of matrix-defying hashup. Ultimately, Apple chief executive Tim Cook apologized for the screw-up and iOS chief Scott Forstall 'left' the company -- though he's still lingering around the Apple campus until next year.
BlackBerry crumbling, Nokia not far behind
Research in Motion and Nokia are both sinking, albeit slowly and still bobbing above the surface, but failure to innovate and miserable product launches have contributed to their slow downfall.
The value of RIM's shares has dropped by more than 70 percent in the past 12 months, with its market cap has tumbled from $78 billion to $6.3 billion in three years. Nokia, on the other hand, has seen its shares drop by 90 percent in five years, and its market cap has dropped from $151 billion to $11.8 billion in four years. Still, towards the end of the year, after a declining share price, things are on the up.
BlackBerry 10 devices will launch on January 30, according to RIM, but the company will miss out on the lucrative holiday season by launching later in the months after Christmas. Nokia, however, continues to decline -- and even Microsoft, the firm's partner in the Lumia space, is looking for other partners to keep Windows Phone market share momentum going.

Microsoft faces another antitrust suit in Europe over browser choice
The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant is about to feel the full force of the European antitrust gust, as the software giant braces itself for one stormy winter. After failing to include the so-called 'browser ballot' in Windows 7 (Service Pack 1) in February 2011, more than 28 million European users of Windows may have missed out on the chance to change their browser away from the Internet Explorer default.
Microsoft admitted it made a mistake and accepted responsibility for the screw-up. Still, Microsoft faces a fine up to 10 percent of its global annual turnover should it be found flouting European antitrust laws. That figure that could total close to €5.7 billion ($7.3bn).

Derby shows Milan, Inter's sizable flaws
Marcotti's Musings 7 hours ago
LISBON, May 20 (Reuters) - Benfica have appointed Portuguese Fernando Santos as their new coach, the Lisbon club announced at a news conference on Saturday.
The former Sporting, AEK Athens and Porto trainer, 51, will sign a two-year contract.
He replaces Dutchman Ronald Koeman who resigned earlier this month to join PSV Eindhoven after Benfica finished the season in third place in the Portuguese League, failing to secure an automatic Champions League spot.
