Title: Selective gpcr ligands
Inventor: TZAKOS ANDREAS
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2012-12-21
Abstract: In the past decade a great deal of structural information for class A-GPCRs (G protein-coupled receptors) has emerged. However, the structural and electronic basis of ligand selectivity for closely related receptor subtypes such as the angiotensin receptors AT1aR and AT2R, which present completely diverse biological functions in response to the same ligand, is poorly understood. In order to monitor complex responses in bio systems it is useful to have ligands that present a gradient in terms of selectivity. In this study we present an efficient method to tune ligand selectivity for the two angiotensin II receptor subtypes, AT1aR and AT2R, by controlling aromatic - prolyl interactions in angiotensin II, through alternation of aromatic electronics. On the basis of this strategy, an AT2R selective and high affinity agonist analogue (Ki=3 nM) was obtained.

Abstract: A The composite fabrication vent assembly (12) comprises a body member (14) having a first clamping surface (16), a clamping member (18) having a second clamping surface (20), and a carriage member (22) interconnecting the body member and the clamping member such that the first and second clamping surfaces are in opposing relationship. The carriage member is adapted for translating the body member and clamping member relative to one another from an open state to a closed state. When the open end of an inflatable bladder (26) is inserted between the opposed first and second clamping surfaces of the vent assembly, the clamping surfaces form an airtight seal with the open end of the bladder as the clamping surfaces are translated to the closed state. The vent assembly can then control the flow of gas into and out of the inflatable bladder through one or more passageways in the vent assembly.

Title: A snow shovel and pusher combination with 8 adjustable settings
Inventor: IQBAL MUHAMMAD MUZAFFAR
IPC: E01H5/02
Filed: 2014-10-21
Abstract: A snow shovel and pusher combination with 8 adjustable settings includes a blade and an elongated handle. Between the two ends of the handle is a 360 degree rotating joint assembly comprised of two flanges joined together and mounted at a pre-calculated fixed angle. Having a handle connection portion connected to the rotating flange and a blade connection portion connected to the stationary flange at a pre-calculated fixed angle relative to the blade. During use, the blade in snow pusher setting/mode should be perpendicular to the surface to be cleaned and in snow shovel setting/mode blade should be nearly horizontal to the surface to be cleaned. The rotating joint assembly has eight (8) adjustable setting positions, four when rotated clockwise and another four when rotated counter clockwise enabling moving from snow pusher setting/mode to snow shovel setting/mode or the other way around; the multiple setting options are useful in operating the device efficiently based on the need. There are 8 locking positions each corresponding to1/8th of the total rotating ability of the joint of 45 degrees each. The rotating movement of 180 degree produces change in blade position from perpendicular to nearly horizontal or vise a versa representing the two settings/modes, one being snow pusher and second being snow shovel.

IPC: G01S5/18
Filed: 2013-07-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring a structure using an optical fiber based distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) extending along the length of the structure. The DAS is able to resolve a separate acoustic signal with a spatial resolution of 1 m along the length of the fibre, and hence is able to operate with an acoustic positioning system to determine the position of the riser with the same spatial resolution. In addition, the fiber can at the same time also detect much lower frequency mechanical vibrations in the riser, for example such as resonant mode vibrations induced by movement in the surrounding medium. By using vibration detection in combination with acoustic positioning then overall structure shape monitoring can be undertaken, which is useful for vortex induced vibration (VIV) visualisation, fatigue analysis, and a variety of other advanced purposes. The structure may be a sub-sea riser.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a securing device comprising one or more barbs. A barb may comprise a depth stop, which may itself comprise an apex portion coupled to a trough portion. A barb may be constructed, in various embodiments, from a length of shape memory wire. Thus, during deployment, a barb may spring away from a medical device to which the barb is coupled such that the barb makes contact with and punctures, to a limited depth, a body lumen wall. A barb may not, however, fully puncture a body lumen wall. Rather, a depth stop may limit a puncture depth to a depth that does not endanger and/or subject tissue surrounding or external to the lumen wall to damage and/or bleeding or leakage from within the lumen. In various embodiments, a pair of barbs may be coupled to from an integral two pronged barb.
