Abstract: Disclosed are polymers comprising one or more phenyl boronate ester, boronamide or boronate thioester groups. The phenyl boronate ester, boronamide and boronate thioester groups are represented by one of the following structural formulas: Ar in Structural Formulas (I) and (II) is substituted or unsubstituted; and each Z is —O—, —NH— or —S— and is independently selected. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the polymer are also included. The aryl boronate ester, boronamide or boronate thioester can be cleaved to release the corresponding aryl boronic acid. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the polymers of the present invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent; and methods of treating a subject for obesity with the polymers of the present invention.

Abstract: Disclosed is a phenyl boronic acid compound represented by Structural Formula (I): Ar is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group. Z and Z? are independently —O—. —NH— or —S—. X is an electron withdrawing group. R is a substituted or unsubstituted straight chained hydrocarbyl group optionally comprising one or more amine, ammonium, ether, thioether or phenylene linking groups and Y is —H, an amine, —[NH—(CH2)q]r—NH2, halogen, —CF3, thiol, ammonium, alcohol, —COOH, —SO3H, —OSO3H or phosphonium group covalently bonded to the terminal position of R. Each —NH— in —[NH—(CH2)q]r—NH2 is optionally N-alkylated or N,N-dialkylated and —NH2 in —[NH—(CH2)q]r—NH2 is optionally N-alkylated, N,N-dialkylated or N,N,N-trialkylated. q is an integer from 2 to about 10 and r is an integer from 1 to about 5.

Abstract: The invention relates to oil recovery equipment improved from existing chain oil-well pumping units. Double suspending cables, double balance flexible cables and a counterweight structure without inertial load are used in the invention. There are guide buffer devices and a buffer eccentric regulation shaft coupling in the apparatus according to the invention. Consequently, the load distribution and the stressed condition are more reasonable, the structure is simplified and reliable, and power is obviously economized. The invention has the striking strong points mentioned above in recovering condensed oil, high-condensed oil and bathhypelagic oil.
