Abstract:
The use of compounds of the present invention as antagonists and/or inverse agonists of the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1)receptor particularly in the treatment, prevention and suppression of diseases mediated by the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor. The invention is concerned with the use of these novel compounds to selectively antagonize the Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor. As such, compounds of the present invention are useful as psychotropic drugs in the treatment of psychosis, memory deficits, cognitive disorders, migraine, neuropathy, neuro-inflammatory disorders including multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome and the inflammatory sequelae of viral encephalitis, cerebral vascular accidents, and head trauma, anxiety disorders, stress, epilepsy, Parkinson s disease, and schizophrenia. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders, particularly to opiates, alcohol, and nicotine. The compounds are also useful for the treatment of obesity or eating disorders associated with excessive food intake and complications associated therewith. Novel compounds of structural formula (I) are also claimed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to decoys for heat-seeking missiles and methods of producing and using the same. The decoys are designed to be kinematic or pseudo- kinematic, producing one or more infra-red radiation emitting clouds that give the appearance of a moving infra-red target in the airspace in which the decoy has been released.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a pump and a pump control system. The apparatus includes a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor coupled to a pump control system. For the method of the invention, the microcontroller provides a pulse-width modulation control signal to an output power stage in order to selectively control the power provided to the pump.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a stand-alone controller and a method for controlling a pump motor driven by an alternating current source. The stand-alone controller includes a power terminal for connection with the alternating current source and a load terminal for connection with the pump motor. The stand-alone controller further includes an enable switch to form a power line carrying power from the alternating current source to the pump motor. The stand-alone controller can store a first current being drawn through the power line by the pump motor when a control switch is actuated. A state of the enable switch is based on a comparison of the first current to a second current being drawn through the power line by the pump motor.
