Title: Microdose therapy of female sexual dysfunction by no, co, and their donors
Inventor: ADAMS MICHAEL A
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 1998-06-22
Granted: 2008-05-20
Abstract: Methods for treating vascular conditions associated with localized imbalance in vascular tone, which are hypothesized to be largely due to elevated endothelin (ET), are provided. The methods involve administration of nitric oxide (NO), agents which are able to provide NO, such as NO donors, agents which activate guanyl cyclase, such as YC-1, o r agents which prolong the actions of endogenous NO or cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP; a 2nd messenger molecule), such as phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors. According to the invention, such agents are administered in minimal doses or microdoses by an y route known in the art, so as to provide dosages which are about one half to about one twentieth (1/2 to 1/20) of those known to induce vasodilation in "normal" circulations. The low doses of these agents effectively alleviate vascular conditions associated with a reduction in NO production or an attenuation of NO effect, by restoring balance in vascular tone while exerting almost no systemic effect in normal vasculature.

Abstract: In a system in which the modulation scheme employed may change on a per-time-slot basis, a user's available data rate may change even if the user maintains the same number of time slots, because the capacity of the user's time slots may change. If one or more such changes in modulation scheme occurs, the data rate available to the user may no longer match his current data rate needs. Therefore, a method is disclosed for determining the number of time slots to assign to a user as a function of the user's current data rate requirement and the actual current cumulative data rate of the time slots currently assigned to the user. The user data rate requirement may further be a function of a quality of service (QoS) contracted for by the user. Thus, the assignment of the time slots within the frame is made dynamically and the number of time slots employed by a user is increased or decreased according to the user's current data rate requirements and the ability of the time slots already assigned to the user to meet those requirements.

Abstract: The ATV transmission includes an epicyclic arrangement, which serves as a drive-differential. One road wheel is geared to the planet-carrier or spider, and the other to the ring gear, while the engine drives the sun. An idler-gear between the ring and its road wheel means that the ring and the spider rotate in opposite senses, whereby a large gear ratio between the sun and the road wheels can be provided. Steering of the vehicle is provided, by driving the road wheels at different speeds. This is accomplished using a steer-differential, which is identical to the drive-differential; rotating the sun of the steer-differential imposes a corresponding differential speed on the road wheels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a substance, more particularly, a substance that can be used as foodstuff or cosmetic. Said substance is obtained from a first substance that is produced by fine grinding grains or nuts, especially sunflower seeds and by adding a first liquid and salt, sugar or substances similar to salt or sugar. By adding oil, especially sunflower seed oil, or a liquefied fat, a second liquid substance is normally obtained which acquires a more solid consistency by adding a second acid liquid or acidifying agent, especially lemon juice. The amount of the second acid liquid determines the consistency of the first substance. The invention is based on a basic substance for the production of foodstuff and cosmetic products exclusively consisting of a small number of original, natural, genetically unaltered substances that have not been genetically modified and that contain no additives or residues from drugs or hormones and ostensibly reduce allergens. The basic substance has optimal value as food stuff and can be used basically as a substitute for dairy products.
