Abstract: A toy, comprising or a cockpit; and a pair of wings moveably coupled to the cockpit; wherein at least the pair of wings are transformable between a driving configuration and a flying configuration, wherein in the driving configuration the wings extend longitudinally and flank the cockpit, and wherein in the flying configuration the wings extend laterally.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing instructions relating respectively to different forms of financial instruments. In one example, a system comprises an interface configured to receive instructions relating to at least two different forms of financial instruments. The system also comprises a plurality of processors each configured to apply a respective set of pre-settlement rules to instructions relating to financial instruments of a respective form.

Abstract: A toy vehicle system. The toy vehicle system includes a vehicle having a least one wheel. The vehicle is configured to generate at least one play effect via an effect apparatus of the vehicle responsive to spinning of the at least one wheel. The toy vehicle system includes a launch platform including a wheel spinning mechanism and a launch mechanism. The launch mechanism is configured to propel the vehicle from the launch platform in response to a launch event, and the wheel spinning mechanism configured to spin the at least one wheel of the vehicle prior to the launch event, thereby causing the vehicle to generate the play effect prior to being propelled from the launch platform.

Abstract: A toy kit, comprising of a plurality of interchangeable figures; a transformable toy configured to transform between a vehicle configuration and a powersuit configuration, the transformable toy including a first figure receiver accessible in the vehicle configuration and a second figure receiver accessible in the powersuit configuration, the first and second figure receivers adapted to receive any one of the plurality of interchangeable figures.

Abstract: A transformable toy, comprising of a body; a first assembly moveably coupled to the body; and a sport board attachable to the first assembly; wherein at least the body, the first assembly, and the sport board are transformable between a boarding configuration and a vehicle configuration.

Abstract: A transformable toy, comprising or a member; a first assembly moveably coupled to the member; and a ski attachable to the first assembly; wherein at least the member, the first assembly, and the ski are transformable between at least a skiing configuration and a vehicle configuration.

Abstract: A reconfigurable toy comprising of a body, a plurality of wheels operatively coupled with the body, and at least one leg assembly operatively coupled with the body, wherein the toy is reconfigurable between a vehicle configuration where at least one of the wheels is in contact with a ground surface and a power suit configuration where the at least one leg assembly is in contact with the ground surface and at least one of the wheels is spaced from the ground surface.

Abstract: A transformable toy, comprising of a body; at least one leg assembly moveably coupled to the body; and a skate moveably coupled to the leg assembly; wherein at least the body, the leg assembly, and the skate are transformable between a skating configuration and a vehicle configuration.

Abstract: A toy, comprising or a cockpit; and a pair of wings moveably coupled to the cockpit; wherein at least the pair of wings are transformable between a driving configuration and a flying configuration, wherein in the driving configuration the wings extend longitudinally and flank the cockpit, and wherein in the flying configuration the wings extend laterally.

Abstract: An accessory for a transformable toy comprising of an accessory body; and an attachment component configured to couple the accessory body to the toy, the toy transformable between a vehicle configuration and a second configuration, where the toy remains assembled during transformation, wherein the accessory body is removably attachable to the toy in the vehicle configuration in a first play configuration and is removably attachable to the toy in the second configuration in a second play configuration.

Abstract: Pyrazolopyrimidine compounds which are selective inhibitors of cGMP PDE are useful in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in male animals, including man.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of cooling an internal combustion engine, to an internal combustion engine assembly. The invention provides an internal combustion engine which has a primary and a secondary flow of coolant together with a method of cooling such and engine. The secondary flow of coolant is injected into the primary flow of coolant in dependence upon a variable provided by a sensor, which provides an indication of the temperature of the engine body in the region where the secondary flow of coolant mixes with the primary flow of coolant.

Abstract: 6-heterocyclyl pyrazolo [3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one compounds which are selective inhibitors of cGMP PDE are useful in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (impotence) in male animals, including man.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intra-oral anchorage which comprises a flexible belt that extends around and between the teeth of a patient. The belt has locking means fixed thereon to receive a free end portion of the belt and lock said portion against retraction therefrom. The locking means is in the form of a buckle. The intra-oral anchorage of the present invention can be used to hold a jaw in a fixed position, in the case of a broken jaw for example. It offers ease of application and therefore a reduction in the cost of surgery as well as eliminating the risk of “needle stick” injury inherent with cutting and bending multiple ends of wire. It causes less gum damage in placement and removal, which is similarly easier, faster and less uncomfortable for the patient.
