Abstract: A dock seal (20), such as a head seal (22) mountable above a doorway (14) of a loading dock (12), includes a compressible body (36) with a support pa nel (44). The compressible body can conformably seal against the rear edge ( 26) of a vehicle's (10) enclosed trailer as the vehicle backs the trailer up against the seal (20). The support panel (44) provides relatively dense str ucture for mounting the seal to the wall (16) of a building. Compared to the horizontal distance that the compressible body (36) projects from the wall, the support panel (44) is ultra- thin to avoid consuming compressible space between the wall and the rear of the trailer. In some cases, a flexible pan el (56) suspends the compressible body and its support panel (44) from the w all (16) such that the flexible panel (56) allows the dock seal (20) to move relative to the wall.

Abstract: A method and device for destroying and inhibiting exposure to microbes and infection includes a first element and a second element, and a power source. At least one of the elements includes antimicrobial metal, which, when energized by the power source, produces ions that are lethal to microbes. The device can be incorporated into virtually any useful object. During normal use of the object, electrical communication is established between the two elements, causing current supplied from the power source to flow through the antimicrobial metal. The two elements are configured and arranged to ensure that ions flowing from the antimicrobial metal flow through the region in which it is desired to kill microbes. The antimicrobial metal can be on the surface of the element, incorporated into the material making up the element, or provided in any other way that allows the antimicrobial effect to be achieved.
