  • Patent number: 9238019
    Abstract: The antitussive and bronchodilator use for an enaminone ester relates to the use of ethyl 4-[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]-6-methyl-2-oxocyclohex-3-en-1-oate (also referred to as “enaminone E121”) for treatment of respiratory conditions, and particularly to use of the ester as the active ingredient in a cough suppressant for nonproductive cough. The ester may be used to achieve an antitussive effect, a bronchodilator effect, or both in a patient in need thereof. The ester may be formulated in any desired delivery form (such as a tablet, a capsule, a time-release capsule, a syrup, a liquid, an injection, a spray, or an inhalant), and be combined with any suitable pharmaceutical carrier, vehicles, binders, fillers, disintegrators, lubricants, solubilizers, emulsifiers, surfactants, and other excipients.

  • Publication number: 20110197312
    Abstract: Viral satellite RNA associated with cucumber mosaic virus KU1 strain used as a biological control agent against a severe viral strain KU2 caused tomato necrosis. Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) caused tomato stunting, fusarium wilt disease in tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersicae and leaf spotting disease in tomato caused by Alternaria alternata were also put under control using the same biological control agent. The virus strains, viroids and fungi caused tomato diseases were biologically controlled at the molecular level using a molecular parasite occurred naturally associated with a viral genome of an indigenous strain of cucumber mosaic virus.

  • Publication number: 20090274014
    Abstract: The invention is a clock with of two interrelated parts. The first utilizes the clock (time measuring device/timepiece) so that the multiplication table maybe obtained therefore in an easy, orderly manner, hence division operations maybe performed in an opposite way. The second is to design the clock embodying the 1×1 to 12×12 multiplication table called a “Formation (Genesis) clock, as the 12×12 table results in number 144, which is equivalent to the total of six days, representing the days of creation and formation (genesis), as mentioned in the Holy Quran and the Bible (Old Testament). Utilizing the clock (time measuring device/timepiece) so that the multiplication table maybe obtained therefore in an easy, orderly manner, hence division operations maybe performed in an opposite way.

  • Publication number: 20090253786
    Abstract: “Enhydrazone esters of formula (I): wherein R is methyl or ethyl group have been synthesized. The compounds of formula (I) are potent inhibitors of degranulation of both mast cells and eosinophils. These compounds also suppress cytokines generation by leukocytes. These biological activities are relevant to the prevention and/or treatment of asthma, allergies and inflammatory diseases. It is known to the art that inhibitors of mast cell degranulation such as cromolyn sodium and nedocromil sodium are used in the treatment of asthma and other allergic diseases. Inhibitors of cytokine generation, such as steroids, are also useful in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases as well as asthma and allergies”.

  • Publication number: 20090135235
    Abstract: There is disclosed an inkjet printer containing an array of stationary printheads/color-cartridges aligned along the page width of the page to be printed with overlapping and non-overlap arrangement. The printhead is in the form of an elongate printhead cartridge for use in a pagewidth printer and can be attached to the ink supply units along the sides and along a back surface thereof. The pagewidth inkjet printer has many advantages over the conventional inkjet printers with moving printhead/color cartridge assembly and the prior art patent pagewidth inkjet printer cartridge formed using MEMS techniques. Alternate overlapping printhead arrangement is provided ensuring no gaps in printed images due to the low nozzle packing densities permitted by the standard inkjet technologies for adequate print coverage of the printed page.

  • Publication number: 20080203091
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new design for a trash can designed to be used in fast food restaurants, in particular. Most trash cans have lids that need to be opened manually, whereas the current invention has a pedal that when stepped on, is used to open the lid. A tray loaded with rubbish will be laid on a board that is placed at a certain angle. When the foot pedal, which is attached to the lid by a spring, is released the board moves and touches the tray at the tip, which flips the tray over and causes all the rubbish to fall in the hole designed for the trash bag.
