Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to compounds that are glucuronidase inhibitors. The glucuronidase inhibitors include phenoxy thiophene sulfonamides, and other compounds such as pyridine sulfonyls, benzene sulfonyls, thiophene sulfonyls, thiazole sulfonyls, thiophene carbonyls, and thiazole carbonyls. These compounds include nialamide, isocarboxazid, phenelzine, amoxapine, loxapine and mefloquine. Also compositions including one or more of such compounds for use in inhibiting glucuronidase and methods of using one or more of such compounds for selective inhibition of bacterial ?-glucoronidase. These compounds may be used as a co-drug in combination with the anticancer drug CPT-11. Also a method for screening compounds to determine their usefulness in reducing diarrhea associated with irinotecan chemotherapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cable cleaning and lubricating system comprising a chamber (5) adapted to surround a section of a cable (4) to be cleaned and to be displaced relative to the cable (4), nozzles (7) within the chamber (5) for directing jets of relatively high pressure cleaning liquid onto the surface of the cable (4), sealing means (6) at both ends of the chamber (5) and adapted to contact the cable (4), the chamber (5) being provided with an outlet (10) which is in communication with a vacuum pump for reducing the pressure in the chamber (5) to a value below atmospheric pressure. The invention relates furthermore to the use of this system for cleaning and lubricating a cable (FIG. 1).

Abstract: The features of the invention are illustrated in a preferred embodiment which provides novel apparatus for carrying out the method of automatically beveling the edges or rims of television picture tube funnel or viewing panel components. The components are delivered to an input station from which they are successively transferred to an edge beveling station. Each component is clamped at the beveling station with the rim at a predetermined height. The rim edges are contacted with edge beveling means also located to bevel at the same predetermined height. The edge beveling means and the rim are moved with respect to each other at the predetermined height until the beveling is completed to obtain a uniform bevel completely around the rim. The completion of the beveling operation is sensed to release the clamping of the component at the beveling station and the beveled component is transferred to a discharge station.
