Abstract: A roll support sled is adapted to support a plurality of rolls of absorbent sheet, such as rolls of coreless tissue for mounting in a dispenser of the class including a pair of vertically oriented guide tracks for guiding the roll support sled in vertical motion for sequential dispensing of the rolls. At least one of the guide tracks of the dispenser defines a locking shoulder and the roll support sled includes: first and second spindles, first and second frame rails, one of which is movable, as well as a novel latch dog assembly. The latch dog assembly is inwardly biased and disposed adjacent at least one of the spindles. The latch dog is configured so that it is urged outwardly to a locking position upon disposing a roll of absorbent sheet about its adjacent spindle and is biased inwardly to a release position upon depletion of the roll of absorbent sheet material disposed about its adjacent spindle. In a preferred embodiment the latch dog assembly includes a pivotally mounted gauge member adapted to engage the end of a roll of absorbent sheet material positioned about its adjacent spindle whereby the gauge member is urged outwardly into generally parallel alignment with a frame rail of the support sled upon contact with the roll of absorbent sheet material. When contacted by a full roll, the latch dog assembly is urged outwardly to its locking position. Upon depletion of the roll of absorbent sheet material disposed on the spindle, the latch dog assembly pivots inwardly so that it assumes its release position. The support sled then drops vertically, for instance, under the influence of gravity to expose a reserve roll of absorbent sheet material for dispensing. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring the food product of a remote food product retailer. The system includes a management center in communication with the remote food product retailer via a communication network. The communication network is accessible via a user interface that may be located at any of the management center, the remote location or some other location. The management center gathers food product temperature information and uses that information to determine whether the shelved food product is within acceptable food safety and quality limits. If the food product exceeds these limits, an alarm is sounded at either the management center and the remote location. The user interface is operable to monitor the status of the food product via a selection of screens and remotely respond to the alarms.

Abstract: Therapeutic compounds which are cell proliferation modulators, preferably inhibitors. These modulators contain amino acid structures that are arranged as a hydrophilic analog of an alpha-fetoprotein. The modulator may be a peptide itself, e.g., an octapeptide like that of SEQ ID NO: 5; a peptidomimetic; or may be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable scaffold, such as a polycyclic hydrocarbon to which is attached the necessary amino acid structures for biological and/or chemical activity. The modulators of the invention are distinguished in one aspect over previous compounds in that they are orally active, and therefore do not have to be injected into the patient. The compositions and methods are useful for reducing estrogen-stimulated growth of cells, and treating or preventing cancer, such as breast cancer. The treatment or prevention methods can include the use of tamoxifen therapy in combination with the peptide therapy.
