A system and method of training or modifying the behavior of pets and, in particular, dogs is disclosed and may include using scratch-resistant protector having adhesive and/or additive to protect the integrity of a door or other object. The adhesive may generally provide a securing or coupling relationship between an object and protector. The additive may provide a material that canines find unpleasant to smell, taste, touch, and/or scratch. In some implementations, the additive may be reapplied (e.g., if it wears off and/or otherwise diminishes in strength, quantity, quality, and/or overall effectiveness).

A wall-mounting brace for mirrors, artwork, and similar objects is a device that is utilized to secure an object such as a mirror to a surface such as a wall. The device features an elongated brace that is used to hold the top of the mirror to the wall while the bottom of the mirror is held in place with a fastener such as a J-channel. A plurality of fastener holes present on a mounting plate of the elongated brace is utilized to secure the elongated brace to the surface. The mirror is held in place on the surface by a retention plate and a connector plate of the elongated brace. A cover plate is utilized to selectively cover and uncover the plurality of fastener holes. The cover plate may be hingedly attached to the elongated brace or removable from the elongated brace altogether.

Light management film constructions contain a first optical film having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The first major surface is a microstructured surface with asymmetrical structures. The asymmetrical structures form an ordered arrangement of a plurality of multi-sided refractive prisms, with the multi-sided refractive prisms having a cross section of 3 or greater sides. A second optical film contacts and is bonded to substantially all of the structures of the first major structured surface of the first optical film. The light management constructions can be incorporated into optical articles such as windows.

A safety barrier assembly is provided for a parking garage is positioned in proximity to an opening for a VRC and includes a horizontal AGV safety beam and upper and lower pedestrian barriers having horizontal railings and vertical legs. The vertical legs are telescoped into openings at opposite ends of the AGV safety beam. The vertical legs of the upper pedestrian barrier are longer than those of the lower pedestrian barrier. The AGV safety beam can be moved vertically between a lower position where the AGV safety beam is substantially adjacent a floor of the parking garage and an upper position where the AGV safety beam is elevated from the floor. The horizontal railings of the pedestrian barriers are parallel to and spaced above the AGV safety beam in the lower position. However, the horizontal railings abut the AGV safety beam in the upper position.

A storm protection system for covering the opening of a building with a flexible material. The system includes a bracket having a first panel and a second panel, the panels each having a surface, the first surface and the second surface of the bracket having a plurality of protrusions disposed thereon (and various embodiments thereof). Another embodiment utilizing at least one inclined planar portion connected to a planar portion of the bracket at the first edge of the inclined planar portion and an elongated member connected to the at least one inclined planar portion for securing a flexible material. A last embodiment includes a planar bracket having a first end and a second end, the planar bracket made of a resilient material. All embodiments operable to hold a flexible material (fabric, screen . . . etc.) over an opening to a building to protect the opening during a storm.

A fall protection tool for use in blocking an opening in a doorframe. The tool includes a frame assembly including a pair of lateral posts spaced from each other and extending substantially parallel with each other, and at least one transverse post extending between the pair of lateral posts. The tool also includes a hook member coupled to each lateral post, wherein the hook member is configured to couple to a portion of the doorframe such that the frame assembly is hangable from the doorframe.
