Abstract: Novel indole compounds are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using the compounds to treat human and animal disease, pharmaceutical compositions of the compounds, and kits including the compounds.

Abstract: A database client for retrieving and presenting steams of time stamped data points for tagged variables is disclosed herein that supports a set of retrieval styles that are adaptively applied within a trending application in accordance with a pre-specified configuration of the trending application that supports assigning a retrieval style to a set of tags within a query on an individual tag basis.

Abstract: A database server for handling steams of time stamped data points for tagged variables is disclosed herein that supports a set of advanced data retrieval operations/queries invoked by clients of the database server. The advanced data retrieval operations are invoked by client queries to provide, on demand, secondary information by processing previously tabled data corresponding to received data streams rendered by a variety of data sources in a supervisory control/monitoring, process control and/or automated equipment environment. Calculations, on previously stored data, for rendering the secondary information are performed within the database server at the time the secondary information is requested by a client of the historian that maintains a database containing the previously stored data.

Abstract: The occurrence of spurs when analyzing signals is reduced. A first signal is mixed with a local oscillator signal to produce an intermediate signal. When a spur is predicted to occur when high side mixing is performed, low side mixing is performed. When a spur is predicted to occur when low side mixing is performed, high side mixing is performed.

Abstract: A user interface is presented for a tester that tests a frequency converter having an input port, an output port and a local oscillator port. In a first area, a user can specify frequency for an input signal to be placed on the input port. In a second area, the user can specify frequency for a local oscillator signal to be placed on the local oscillator port. The tester calculates expected frequency values of an output signal on the output port output based on values entered in the first area and the second area.

Abstract: A user interface is presented for a tester that tests a frequency converter having an input port, an output port and at least one local oscillator port. An indication as to signals for which the user interface is to calculate signal frequencies is accepted from a user. Also accepted from the user are values for signal frequencies for signals for which the user interface is not to calculate signal frequencies. Values of signal frequencies for signals for which the user interface is to calculate signal frequencies are then calculated based on values accepted from the user for signals for which the user interface is not to calculate signal frequencies.

Abstract: A mouth piece (2) for a urinal (1) comprises a round part (6) to sealingly contact the mouth (3) of the urinal. Furthermore, the mouth piece comprises a liquid barrier or bridge (14) across the round part, said bridge separating the opening into two areas, the bottom one being closed off by a floor are (9) with a valve (10, 11) only permitting the flow of urine into the urinal.The resulting urinal for bedridden patients can be used by men and women alike and is provided such that urine cannot run out of the urinal during and after use.

Abstract: A grinding machine for grinding or rasping of the back of tread rubber (20 for retreading rubber tires comprises a conveyor belt (1) carrying the rubber item (2) in under a grinding roller (3) assisted by one-sidedly rotating rollers (4,5). Under the grinding roller (3) the conveyor belt is supported by a table (14) resting on a bellows cylinder (13), said table (14) carrying support means comprising blocks (30) resting on a hose (28) under pressure. On the convex top side (38) of each block rests a fish-plate (32), the top side (34) of which supports the conveyor belt (1) immediately under the grinding roller (3). The fish-plates (32) may individually adapt themselves to the shape of the rubber item (2) during the grinding process.

Abstract: A grinding machine for the grinding or rasping of rubber items having a conveyor belt (1) which feeds the rubber items in under a grinding cylinder (3). Under the conveyor belt (1) in the area under the grinding cylinder (3), at a distance from and freely moveable--within determined limits--there is mounted a support surface (14) which seeks to press the surface (14) in the direction towards the grinding cylinder (3). The support can be, for example, of one or more bellows cylinders (13) which provide central support for the surface (14). The pressure in the bellows cylinder is formed by compressed air from a compressed-air pipe (23) with a substantially constant pressure. Under the conveyor belt a pivotably mounted (7) guide plate (6) is provided, the one side of which is linked to the support surface (14) via a hemispherical surface (12), which, via a strap or an angle piece (9), is secured to the support surface (14).

Abstract: In a pump comprising a slotted tube motor, the ventilating procedure is carried out by the water entering a rotor chamber and being caused to circulate by means of the rotating rotor in such a manner that a circulating ring of liquid is formed within the rotor chamber, and that the air present in the chamber is pressed towards the axis of rotation of the rotor. The liquid flows from a pump room into the rotor chamber through a bearing slot in a front sliding bearing situated at the impeller of the pump. Liquid from the ring of liquid adjacent the rear sliding bearing is carried into a bearing slot in the rear sliding bearing by way of a connecting duct formed in part in the bearing sleeve. This sliding bearing opposes an air duct closed by a vent plug. The rotor chamber and the air duct are interconnected solely through the bearing slot in the rear sliding bearing.
