Title: Attache de panneaux en caoutchouc a acces rapide
Inventor: BENTRIM BRIAN G
IPC: F16B21/04

Abstract: L'invention concerne une attache permettant de fixer deux panneaux (5) et (6) à ouvertures alignées. Cette attache comprend une pièce de maintien (1), un axe traversant (2), un manchon en plastique (3), et un couvercle d'extrémité (4). L'axe s'étend dans la pièce de maintien, et un manchon en caoutchouc est adapté autour de l'axe, retenu axialement par le couvercle d'extrémité (4) au bout de l'axe (2). L'attache préassemblée est fixée à un premier panneau (5) de préférence selon un mode rivé. Des surfaces de came situées sous une tête de l'axe et à l'intérieur de la pièce de maintien (1) coopèrent: ainsi, lorsque la tête de l'axe est mise en rotation, l'axe (2) est retiré de la pièce, comprimant le manchon en caoutchouc (3) entre le couvercle d'extrémité et une base de la pièce de maintien (1). Le manchon gonfle et applique alors une charge de blocage contre l'arrière du second panneau (6). Les deux panneaux sont pris entre la zone expansée du manchon et la base de la pièce de maintien. Plusieurs rainures radiales dans la rampe de came de la pièce de maintien agissent de concert avec une protubérance sur le dessous de l'axe, fournissant différents points d'appui dans la rotation. L'attache décrite se présente sous la forme d'un élément unique entièrement assemblé qui s'enfonce dans des trous standard de panneaux et permet de fixer des panneaux d'épaisseurs différentes, tout en offrant une résistance aux vibrations.

Abstract: Hibernating myocardium is characterized by viable myocardium with impaired function due to localized reduced perfusion. Hibernating myocytes retain cellular integrity, but cannot sustain high-energy requirements of contraction. High plasma levels of catecholamines, such as norepinepherine, are believed to be predictive of mortality from hibernating myocardium. Likewise, high levels of catecholamines lead to cardiomyopathy in patients with diabetes. GLP-1 reduces plasma norepinepherine levels, and it thus is useful in a method of treating hibernating myocardium or diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract: Formulations for controlled, prolonged release of bioactive molecules such as therapeutic proteins, peptides and oligonucleotides have been developed. These formulations are based on solid microparticles or nanoparticles formed of the combination of biodegradable, synthetic polymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), and copolymers thereof. Bioactive molecules are coupled to hydrophilic polymers such as polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol and formulated to provide controlled release. The bioactive molecules are more stable, less immunogenic and have improved release rate profiles with lower burst levels and increased drug loading relative to the same bioactive molecules lacking coupled hydrophilic polymers. The controlled release formulations can be administered by injection, by inhalation, nasally, or orally.
