Abstract: A resistance exercise machine has a frame that includes a base on the floor and upright posts on the base. Resistance packs mounted for adjustment up and down on the posts are equipped with cams that compensate for the increased resistance resulting from increasing deformation of the resistance elements in the packs. The resistance packs are interconnected by teeth on their rims which allow the packs to be arranged in a stack. An adjustable bench and seat are provided. One alternative is a direct drive system having angularly adjustable levers. Another alternative has a fixed number of resistance packs that can be selectively activated to add resistance.

Abstract: A bariatric transport is provided. The transport includes a bed area for use by a bariatric patient. The transport further includes a drive assembly that is operable to selectively drive the transport in forward and rearward directions and permit turning of the transport with little or no lateral movement of the transport. Leading and trailing stabilizing wheel assemblies are provided that are selectively moveable into and out of engagement with a supporting floor. Drive devices are also provided to provide selective elevating and lowering of various components of bariatric patient supports.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for examining pathways. In particular, the present invention provides a system and method for examining pathways that underlie cellular functions, specifically signal transduction pathways. One aspect of the invention relates to the prediction of (a) functional properties of a protein, (b) potential interaction partners of the protein, and/or (c) potential target biochemical pathways within which the protein may interact. Thus, according to the invention, the influence of a given stimulus on a biochemical pathway can be assessed.

Abstract: A boat having a jump seat is provided. The boat includes a boat hull having a recessed passenger compartment. The jump seat includes a support assembly comprising a support deck and a sleeve. A seat cushion is provided for selectively resting on a portion of the deck assembly and being stowed within the pocket. The deck assembly can be used both as a seat support and as a standing deck eliminating the need to stand on a cushion to thereby provide a more stable convertible standing area.

Abstract: Compositions and method of improving inhibition of calcium salt scale formation under the conditions found in chemical pulp processes in which an effective amount of selected phosphonates or phosphonate blends is admixed with the black liquor composition recovered from the digester in a chemical pulping process. The compositions and method are especially well suited for use in the Kraft pulping process.

Abstract: A hanging shoe rack for a closet door or other vertical surface. Frame sections have opposite sides provided with support arms that taper from top to bottom for reduced material requirements. The sections are connected by bars and feet having L-shaped tongues fitting in L-shaped slots with long curved surfaces in contact for enhanced strength. The bars that receive hanger brackets have strong curved connections with the frame sides. The tongues on the bars that hook to the brackets are reinforced by tabs that fit closely in notches in the brackets to resist side to side sway.

Abstract: An improved sighting device is provided. The sight may be used on a bow or other device which is typically sighted on an object during use. The sight includes at least one light-gathering fiber-optic fiber having at least one end from which absorbed light may be transmitted for viewing by a user. The fiber-optic fiber includes an associated element that regulates the amount of light absorbed in inverse proportion to the impinging light intensity in an automatic manner providing a more constant light intensity output.

Abstract: A container for storing and transporting multiple circular saw blades. This invention provides for a circular, portable, carrying case to safely and conveniently store and transport circular saw blades. The invention has several circular trays and each tray had an insert that houses and securely segregates the circular saw blades. The tray and insert feature protects the user from being injured by the saw blades and ensures that the blades do not become dull due to their moving around in the around in the storage container. The invention provides that each circular tray rotates and swings open to allow the user easy access to the saw blades contained inside the storage container. There is a pen that extends through each tray and the pen provides a means for the pivoting action, rotating and swinging action of each circular tray. Each tray has a latching mechanism that secures the tray in place so that the tray does not inadvertently swing open.

Abstract: Eyewear is provided having hinged dual lens elements that provide a clear magnified wide field of view, while allowing the option of individually moving one or the other of the lenses away from a frontal viewing position of a particular eye that it covers to a raised position above the eye. The eyewear further enabling a single action to raise one lens and simultaneously lower the other lens.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 6-(4-substituted-anilino)pyrimidine derivatives useful as an antiviral agent, and more particularly novel 6-(4-substituted-anilino)pyrimidine derivatives having an excellent inhibitory effect on replication of Hepatitis C virus; HCV), represented by the following formula I: in which R represents a C1-C4 straight or branched alkoxycarbonyl group, heterocycliccarbonyl group or carboxyalkyl group; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, a preparation method thereof, and an antiviral pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound as an effective ingredient. The 6-(4-substituted-anilino)pyrimidine derivatives according to the present invention have an excellent inhibitory effect on replication of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and thus can be advantageously used as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent of hepatitis C.

Abstract: A data processor apparatus comprises a plurality of processor elements, a memory having a plurality of parts, and a first switching element associated with the first processor element for switchably coupling the first processor element to its associated memory part for at least one of read and write access.

Abstract: A device for control of the effects of vibrations on vibration sensitive equipment when a plurality of the devices are placed on a support surface and in operative contact with the vibration sensitive equipment where said device is a unitary piece of a soft, pliable substance having a hardened round crown portion.
