Abstract:
Data associated with at least one building condition or status is sensed by one or more sensors. The data from these sensors may be sent over a data bus and received by the central computer. In addition, a modulated signal may be transmitted by one or both of the transmitters across the data bus. The modulated signal is received at the receiver, which analyzes the received modulated signal, and determines whether an intermittent fault has occurred on the data bus based upon the analyzing. For example, the receiver may compare the received signal to an expected pattern and when a discrepancy exists, an intermittent fault is determined to exist. The receiver may also determine the location of the fault based upon the analysis.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for treating an ocular disease in a subject in need thereof by increasing the bioavailability of a drug in the subjects eye. By one approach, the ocular disease is endophthalmitis. The methods and compositions provided herein include an efflux transporter inhibitor and a drug effective for treating the ocular disease. The efflux transporter inhibitor is effective to reduce the efflux of the drug through at least one of Pglycoprotein (Pgp), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistant associated protein 19 (MRP19). In one aspect, cyclosporine A is the efflux transporter inhibitor.

Abstract:
Methods are provided to inhibit proliferation of Leishmania parasites, and in particular Leshmania donovani with imido-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones, including novel compounds. Administering an imido-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinone can used to provide prophylaxis or treatment to a patient in need of treatment against leishmaniasis disease.
Abstract:
A method and composition for the treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury are provided. The composition may include at least a benzodiazepine class material. In another form, the composition may include at least two components selected from the group consisting of an antagonist of the type 3 ryanodine receptor, an NMDA blocker (antagonist), and a benzodiazepine class material which can be administered for ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury. In one form, all three components may be used.
Abstract:
A method and composition for the treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury are provided. The composition can include a compound which is a combination of dantrolene and a residue of FMOC-valine. This composition can be used to provide a faster and higher CNS penetration than heretofore experienced with dantrolene. In another form, dantrolene may be formulated as a pro-drug, a pro-pro-drug and the like.
Abstract:
Covalently cross-linked copolymers are described herein. More specifically, polysaccharide-polyamine copolymeric matrices or structures and cationic copolymeric matrices are described herein. The polysaccharide-polyamine copolymers, when protonated, can form cationic copolymeric matrices having exceptionally high densities of cationic sites. In one form, the covalently cross-linked copolymers provide a three-dimensional structure, especially when hydrated.

Abstract:
A method for treating against, or at least inhibiting or suppressing, the proliferation of an internal ribosome entry site-utilizing virus (IRES-utilizing virus) involves administering a compound, a tautomer, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in an amount effective for inhibiting replication of the IRES-utilizing virus in cells, wherein the compound is represented by the formula: wherein each R1 is independent of the other and represents a halogen atom selected from the group consisting of bromo, chloro, fluoro and iodo.
Abstract:
A novel and innovative method of fabricating nanoparticles with reproducible characteristics from batch-to-batch and during scale-up. The method is a dipolymerization-precipitation reaction facilitated by the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reaction.
