Abstract: An improved tooling, including: a base housing having an interior and tooling holes, the tooling holes being configured to receive alignment studs attached to a tooling fixture; a first clamping fixture and a second clamping fixture fit inside hollowed regions within the base housing; a shaft having a length and an axis along the length of the shaft, the shaft situated inside the base housing and the shaft having a first threaded region and a second threaded region to connect the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture, whereby rotation of the shaft causes the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture to move towards and away from each other along the axis of the shaft; each of the first clamping fixture and the second clamping fixture comprising one or more securing mechanisms configured to: engage and disengage the alignment studs based upon rotation of the shaft.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to dispensing techniques. A dispensing device comprises a first movable structure; a second movable structure; a member extending from the first movable structure to the second movable structure; an extendable component, wherein the extendable component is configured to extend upon movement of at least the first movable structure, the second movable structure, or the member, wherein an end of the member is adjacent to the extendable component; and wherein the dispensing device is configured to move along at least a first axis and a second axis of a system, wherein the dispensing device is configured to extend the extendable component along a third axis of the system.

Abstract: An improved handguard for AR type rifles is shown. The handguard system uses an offset cam with a dual tapered side surface that engages a tapered circumferential groove on the barrel nut. Tightening the cam in place forces the receiver end of the handguard to clamp simultaneously against the barrel nut and against the front edge of the upper receiver of the rifle.

Abstract: Injections for treating and preventing diseases classified as any of grade 1 to 3 according to the ICRS classification of osteoarthritis, diseases classified as any of grade 1 to 3 according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification of osteoarthritis or diseases classified as any of grade 1 to 3 according to the Outerbridge classification of osteoarthritis contain anti-Fas IgM antibody as an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms by inhibiting the production of cartilage matrix degrading enzymes and by increasing the production of cartilage matrix.

Abstract: Disclosed is a drug effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Basically, the disclosed therapeutic agent was created on the basis of experiments showing improvement in symptoms when etanercept was administered to patients suffering from fibromyalgia. Etanercept is known as a therapeutic agent for rheumatoid arthritis, and the JFIQ score of patients not suffering from fibromyalgia improved considerably in the preferred embodiment. In other words, a therapeutic agent for fibromyalgia is disclosed that contains etanercept as an active ingredient in an effective amount.

Abstract: A diagnostic agent and a diagnostic method for appropriately diagnosing fibromyalgia of a specific type, and a therapeutic agent for the aforesaid type include a diagnostic agent for fibromyalgia relating to an anti-voltage-gated potassium channel complex antibody (anti-VGKC complex antibody), said diagnostic agent containing a reagent for detecting the anti-VGKC complex antibody; a diagnostic method using the diagnostic agent; and a therapeutic agent for fibromyalgia relating to the anti-VGKC complex antibody. A diagnostic agent for fibromyalgia relating to an antibody against a voltage-gated potassium channel complex includes a reagent for detecting the antibody against the voltage-gated potassium channel complex; and a therapeutic agent for fibromyalgia relating to an antibody against voltage-gated potassium channel contains an effective amount of an anticonvulsant drug (gabapentine or clonazepam) as the active ingredient.
