Publication number: 20220401583Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for treating or prophylactically treating age-related cognitive decline associated with dementia by administering recombinant viral vectors designed to deliver TERT and/or KL (Klotho) genes to the patient. The TERT and/or KL genes are packaged within one or more AAV viral vectors and administered to the CNS of the patient via intranasal and/or intrathecal injection. The therapy can provide improvements in cognitive function as evidenced by improved Folstein/MMSE scores over time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Elizabeth Louise Parrish, Patrick Ellison Sewell, Jason R.

Patent number: 7469950Abstract: A structural support bracket for a rear cargo pan of a vehicle includes a forward end that is secured to a rear cross member and a rearward end that is secured to the rear cargo pan adjacent a center portion thereof so as to support the rear cargo pan against deflection during use. The forward end of the support bracket is secured to both a downwardly directed surface and a rearwardly directed surface of the rear cross member. The structural support bracket reduces deflection of the cargo pan and reduces generation of impact boom noises otherwise caused thereby.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2007Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jared Cox, Patrick Ellison, Robb Augustine

Patent number: 7377578Abstract: A main beam support mounting bracket formed from aluminum for a vehicle. The main beam support mounting bracket has a first lateral end that is mechanically secured to a main beam support and a second lateral end that is mechanically secured to a center support. A bottom wall of the main beam support mounting bracket includes slotted mounting openings for receipt of fasteners for attachment to a floor tunnel of a vehicle floor and frame cross-member. The fasteners threadingly engage weld-nuts on the frame cross-member. The bottom wall includes first, second, and third planar surfaces that interact with first, second, and third surfaces of the floor tunnel in the vehicle. Further, the main beam support mounting bracket provides for lateral attachment with the main beam support and the center support.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Patrick Ellison, Matthew Wolfe, Eric Boettcher, Masahiro Ishikawa, Takashi Nakano

Patent number: 7374232Abstract: A hanger beam assembly is formed from aluminum and includes first and second support brackets, a main beam hanger, a driver beam, a main beam, a main beam support, and a main beam support mounting bracket. The driver beam extends between the first support bracket and the main beam hanger. The main beam extends between the main beam hanger and the second support bracket. The main beam support bracket is secured to a vehicle floor, and the main beam support is secured between the main beam hanger and the main beam support mounting bracket. The resulting hanger beam assembly is light-weight and provides a desired natural frequency at the associated steering wheel.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2006Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Patrick Ellison, Matthew Wolfe, Eric Boettcher, Masahiro Ishikawa, Takashi Nakano

Patent number: 7367613Abstract: A main beam support is formed from aluminum and includes an upper end and a lower end. The upper end is attached to a first end of a main beam hanger, while the lower end is attached to a main beam support mounting bracket that is secured to a vehicle floor. The lower end of the main beam support includes first and second sockets with downwardly directed extensions. The first and second sockets are adapted to receive mounting posts that extend from the main beam support mounting bracket. The first socket is disposed relatively vertically above and rearward of the second socket. Integral keys of the main beam support mounting bracket cooperate with the downwardly directed extensions during assembly to align and restrict movement of the main beam support in forward/rearward and up/down directions.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Patrick Ellison, Matthew Wolfe, Eric Boettcher, Masahiro Ishikawa, Takashi Nakano
