Inventor: LEE PATRICK R
IPC: F01P3/02
Filed: 2005-06-10
Abstract: In a two-cycle, opposed-piston internal combustion engine, opposed pistons disposed in a cylinder are coupled to a pair of side-mounted crankshafts by connecting rods that are subject to substantially tensile forces acting between the pistons and the crankshafts. This geometry reduces or eliminates side forces between the pistons and the bore of the cylinder. The cylinder and the pistons are independently cooled to reduce cylindrical deformation caused by thermal expansion during engine operation.

Abstract: An insert for assisting and easing the task of setting fence posts or the like into a concrete or aggregate footing. The invention comprises: two identical half-forms, which when faced 180 degrees to each other, interlock together to form a full form, a snap-on level, and locking rim. Installing a post into concrete becomes a much-simplified task by means of the present invention whereby, after boring a posthole into the ground, the installer simply snaps together the identical half-forms, snaps on the snap-on level, then casts the now full form into the concrete; adjusting for levelness while placing the concrete into the posthole. No bracing is required since the only force exerted onto the insert. The post can be slid downwardly into the insert once the concrete has set, then slides the locking rim onto the upper edge perimeter of the full form thus creating a quasi-seal surrounding a perfectly level post.

Abstract: Oral dosage forms of a risedronate comprised of a safe and effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition com-prising risedronate, a chelating agent, and, means for effecting delayed release of the risedronate and the chelating agent in the small intestine provide immediate release of the pharmaceutical composition to the small intestine of the mammal subject and pharmaceu-tically effective absorption of the bisphosphonate with or without food or beverages.  The present invention substantially alleviates the interaction between risedronate and food or beverages, which interaction results in the bisphosponate active ingredient not being available for absorption. The resulting oral dosage form may thus be taken with or without food. Further, the present invention effects delivery of risedronate and the chelating agent to the small intestine, substantially alleviating the upper GI irritation associ-ated with bisphosponate therapies. These benefits simplify previously complex treatment regimens and can lead to increased patient compliance with bisphospanate therapies.
