Title: Alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone peptides protection in organ transplantation
Inventor: CATANIA ANNA P
IPC: A61K38/34
Filed: 2003-07-10
Abstract: A composition and method for controlling host response to organ and/or tissue transplantation and grafting. Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone protects organ and tissue transplantation by controlling factors within the donor, host and of the organ or tissue to be transplanted. Treatment with a-MSH and/or its derivatives can affect warm and cold ischemia times and thus promotes organ viability. Treatment of the donor, host and of the organ or tissue to be transplanted with an appropriate dosage of a-MSH and/or its derivatives limits biochemical pathways that would normally work to reject an organ and/or tissue transplantation. .alpha.-MSHaugments successful graft transplantation whether it be allograft or xenograft.

Abstract: A discount system for installment of trade articles and its method is proposed in the present invention. The discount system provides at least a first trade article and a second trade article. When the second consuming end purchases the second trade article after the first consuming end purchases the first trade article, an accumulative value is added by one to record the number of people who purchase the second trade articles. After that, a processing unit calculates a discount price according to the accumulative value so that the installment payment of the first consuming end is reduced correspondingly. Thereby, the profit of marketing the trade articles for the second consuming end is transferred partially to the first consuming end. In this way, the present invention can attract more consumers to purchase the articles.

IPC: B62D55/14
Filed: 2005-08-08
Abstract: A land clearing vehicle comprises a land clearing tool to be mounted thereon and to be activated thereby, and a track assembly for addressing and manoeuvring through precarious terrain conditions. The land clearing tool is comprised of a generally vertical comb-like structure terminating in a set of substantially forward pointing teeth at the bottom thereof, and integrally coupling at the top thereof to a set of pivoting arms pivotally mounted on, and activated by, the vehicle. The tool can efficiently extract a tree stump from the ground and can be mounted on, and coupled with, other land clearing tools to provide efficient and productive land clearing options to the vehicle operator. The track assembly provides a protective casing for protecting the vehicle's track driving system, a set of roller guards for protecting the assembly's bottom rollers, and a tensioner assembly for providing a substantially constant tension in the track, thus protecting it and other track assembly components from unnecessary damage. The elevated driving sprocket wheel of the track assembly insures that the weight of the vehicle is distributed over the bottom rollers and not on the sprocket wheel, thereby significantly increasing the lifespan of the sprocket wheel.
