  • Patent number: 8168232
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and formulations for inhibiting, treating and preventing a malignant cell phenotype, cell, tumor and/or disease. Administration of nitric oxide mimetics, such as low doses, is sufficient to increase, restore or maintain nitric oxide-mediated signaling in cells so that malignant cell phenotypes, cells, tumors and/or diseases are inhibited or prevented. These methods and formulations are particularly useful in treating and preventing cancer in animals.

  • Patent number: 4836066
    Abstract: A multiple-tool device has a multiplicity of tools pivotally connected to a tray, the tools having a use and a storage position with respect to the tray. A cover is connected to the tray, the cover having an open and a closed position. In the open position, tools may be rotated between use and storage position; in the closed position, tools are secured in either their use or storage position. With the cover in the closed position, the magazine and cover assembly acts as a handle for any selected tools secured in their use position.

  • Patent number: 4610418
    Abstract: A support device for mounting objects on a wall includes a wall bracket and a hanger. The wall bracket is mounted on a wall by means of two openings, thereby preventing rotational movement of the bracket. The wall bracket also has an elongated stabilizer. The hanger includes a hanging notch and a separate centering notch, and is attached to the object to be hung. The hanger is engaged on the wall bracket by means of the hanging notch, while the centering notch straddles the stabilizer, thus counteracting rotational forces and maintaining the object spaced from the wall. The stabilizer also acts as a centering device which is adjustably bent until the desired orientation is obtained. The object can be removed and replaced with the same orientation by means of the adjusted stabilizer.

  • Patent number: 4606247
    Abstract: A versatile chained tool set having a plurality of tools consisting of any desired working tips such as an open-end wrench, a box-end wrench, a fractional or metric wrench, socket drives, spline drives, spanner wrenches, screwdrivers of all styles, or tools such as taps, easy outs, allen wrenches or other similar tools. Each tool is formed as part of a link and each link is joined to an adjacent tool link so that the various tools are chained together. When using one of the tools, the chain can be folded or collapsed to form a rigid and strong hand piece which can then be used to apply the torque or other force necessary to operate the tool.

  • Patent number: 4581522
    Abstract: An electrical heating system for use in heating surfaces. A heating element is constructed of mesh screen comprised of small gauge wires which are spaced in a close mesh arrangement such that the total surface area of the wires is substantially equal to or greater than the adjacent area of the surface to be heated. The longitudinal wires are electrically conductive and are preferably made of a nonferrous metal and the transverse wires are coated with an insulating material. The heating element is positioned substantially parallel to and adjacent the surface to be heated. The heating system includes electronic circuitry which essentially eliminates transmission of power surges, voltage spikes and chatter when the heating system is connected to an alternating current power source. The heating system also includes protective circuits and devices for preventing injury or damage due to transformer overheating, or due to under-current or over-current conditions.

  • Patent number: 4572038
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for using a multi-purpose tool having a handle with a shaft affixed thereto and a cylinder assembly disposed to longitudinally slide on the shaft between positions in which the shaft is fully extended or fully retracted. While in the fully retracted position, a cylinder having a plurality of chambers housing different tips may be rotated about its axis, which is offset from the shaft, until the desired tip aligns with and engages the shaft in coupling engagement. The shaft is then extended to its fully extended position, thus extending the tip and permitting free rotation of the working tip for use in performing work on a workpiece. Changing the tip requires retracting the shaft, rotating the cylinder to engage the next desired tip, and extending the shaft back to its fully extended position. The multi-purpose tool may be attached to a power tool for power driven rotation.
