摘要:
Active noise cancellation may be provided by a variety of systems, methods and techniques. General aspects, for example, include an active noise cancellation system, a controller for an active noise cancellation system, and/or a method of generating an anti-noise signal. In one example aspect, an active noise cancellation system for an aircraft In-flight entertainment system may include at least one input device, a processing means, and an output. The input device may be associated with a seat on the aircraft and adapted to receive an input representative of an ambient noise in the vicinity of the seat. The processing means may be adapted to process the input to produce an output signal adapted to reduce the ambient noise in volume associated with the seat. The output may be adapted to transmit an output signal to at least one driver, which is adapted to transmit the output signal to a user.

Described is the efficient synthesis of an easy to manipulate and utilize, soluble tartrate salt of a potent, reversible butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor, (−)-(3aS)-3a-methyl-1,2,3,3a,8,8a-hexahydropyrrolo-[2,3-b]indol-5-yl N—4′-isopropylphenylcarbamate (“MHI tartrate”), for use in altering the enzymatic activity of butyrylcholinesterase and/or acetylcholinesterase in a subject exhibiting or predicted to exhibit cognitive disorders associated with diabetes. Subjects may be suffering from or predicted to suffer from abnormal acetylcholinesterase and/or butyrylcholinesterase activity levels or from an inability to metabolize or catabolize blood sugar normally. The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of MHI tartrate dispensable in discrete pharmaceutically useful dosages. MHI tartrate effectively inhibits both acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterases and additionally is highly selective for butyrylcholinesterase over acetylcholinesterase.

A method of treating behavioral problems, including those related to aging, and improving trainability in dogs is disclosed. The method involves administering phenserine, a phenserine analog, derivative or a metabolite thereof to a pet or service dog in need of such treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to substituted phenylcarbamate or naphthylcarbamate tricyclic compounds which provide highly potent and selective cholinergic agonist and blocking activity and their use as pharmaceutical agents. The invention further relates to improvements in therapy relative to cholinergic diseases such as glacuoma, Myasthenia Gravis, Alzheimer's disease and to improvements in therapy and organophosphate poisoning. The invention further provides for a selective acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase agents and a method for inhibiting these esterases.
摘要:
The invention relates to novel polypeptide analogues of GLP-1 and exendin-4. The polypeptide, in a preferred embodiment, is insulinotropic and long-acting. Preferably, the polypeptide's insulinotropic effect is comparable to or exceeds the effect of an equimolar amount of GLP-1 or exendin-4. The invention also relates to a method of treating a subject with diabetes, comprising administering to the subject the polypeptide of the invention in an amount that has an insulinotropic effect. The invention also relates to methods of using GLP-1, exendin-4, and polypeptide analogues thereof for neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects.
