Abstract:
This invention relates to compounds, which are generally anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds, and which are represented by Formula I: wherein A is a —CH2—, —O—, —S—, or —S(O)—; and the other substituents are as defined in the specification; or individual isomers, mixtures of isomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods for their use as therapeutic agents
Abstract:
A package of a strip of material is formed by slitting or perforating a web to separate the web into side by side strips and fan folding the web to form a plurality of side by side stacks of the strips. The strip of each stack is spliced to the strip of the next stack to form a continuous strip through the package which can be unfolded for supply continuously to an end use machine. The package while compressed is wrapped by a packaging material which includes a bottom rigid plate, a top header and heat shrink bag wrapped around the package and under the bottom plate and heat sealed to a plastic layer covering a bottom surface of the bottom header plate.
Abstract:
A connector apparatus is provided which is configured to replace a separation module in a system for dispensing a fluid. When it is desired to purge the system of a dispensed fluid, the connector apparatus, having the same configuration of an inlet and an outlet as the separation module, replaces the separation module and a purging fluid is passed through the system.
Abstract:
Macrocyclic isoquinoline peptides are disclosed having the general formula: A compound of formula I: wherein R1 to R9, Q and W are described in the description. Compositions comprising the compounds and methods for using the compounds to inhibit HCV are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The medical toilet may include a seat, lid, and bowl as does a traditional toilet. It also includes one or more acoustic transducers. The acoustic transducers may be located on the seat where they may measure bone density in a user's pelvis or femur. The acoustic transducers may be located on the lid or on a belt which wraps around the user. These acoustic transducers may collect data relating to a user's heart, lungs, liver, bowel, or other internal organs. The medical toilet may include a handrail with an acoustic transducer which measures the bone density in the user's wrist, radius, or ulna. A controller associated with the medical toilet may store algorithms for analyzing the data collected by the acoustic transducers. The controller may perform machine learning to improve the analyses and may calculate trends in repeated measurements taken from the same user or a population of users.
Abstract:
The pressure pad which pressure-sensing fabric which is within a gasket and which measures the distribution of pressure on the gasket. Thus, the gasket protects the pressure-sensing fabric from damage due to water or mechanical trauma. The pressure pad includes multiple piezoresistive depositions of piezoresistive depositions ink or paste which act as individual pressure-sensing points. Conductive tracks between the piezoresistive depositions transmit the pressure measurements in the form of electrical signals. The pressure-sensing fabric is connected to a controller and transmits pressure measurements to the controller. Algorithms stored on the controller create a map of absolute mechanical loading to each pressure-sensing point of the pressure pad. The gasket may be mounted beneath a toilet or between plumbing joints. The pressure pad may detect weaknesses in the gasket, a toilet user's weight, a weight of excrement added to the toilet, or a toilet user's posture.
Abstract:
The present invention provides high strength nonwoven wipe materials and the process of making the materials. The high strength nonwoven wipe materials contain cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, or mixtures thereof, with bicomponent fibers and optionally, a binder. The present invention provides a high strength, high elongation, reduced stiffness nonwoven wipe material with superior tensile strength.
Abstract:
A system and method for monitoring soil and water resources is disclosed herein. Sensors capable of monitoring soil temperature, moisture and salinity are utilized with other sensors capable of monitoring such values as air temperature in order to provide real-time parameters to users/operators of land area.
