Abstract: The present invention describes pyridazione compounds having the formula (I), which are cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors The compounds are selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2-(COX-2), which is the inducible isoform associated with inflammation, as opposed to the constitutive isoform, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), which is an important “housekeeping” enzyme in many tissues, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the kidneys. The selectivity of these compounds for COX-2 minimizes the unwanted GI and renal side-effects seen with currently marketed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a cross-linked pollyallylamine hydrochloride. The process involves mixing polyallylamine hydrochloride, water, a hydroxide or alkoxide, and a water-miscible organic solvent or co-solvents, to a reaction mixture and adding a cross-linking agent to the reaction mixture to form a cross-linked polyallylamine.

Abstract: An exemplary configurable vacuum system and method are provided for use in coating or plating that provides the capability to handle substrates of significantly different shapes and sizes. The configurable vacuum system includes a vacuum table assembly and a vacuum chamber. The vacuum table assembly may include a support frame, an insulated surface, a mechanical drive mounted to the support frame, an electrical feed through mounted to the support frame, a filament positioned above the insulated surface between a first filament conductor and a second filament conductor, a filament power connector electrically coupled to the first filament conductor through a first filament power contact pad of the filament power connector and to the second filament conductor through a second filament power contact pad of the filament power connector, and a platform operable to support the substrate.

Abstract: An exemplary retractable awning and method are provided for mounting to virtually any structure, such as a house trailer, recreational vehicle, house, patio, deck, and the like, to provide shade and protection from the elements. The retractable awing includes a roller tube assembly, a covering, and support arms. The roller tube assembly includes a roller tube and at least one retractable rib. The roller tube has a first end, a second end, and a rib storage groove operable to receive and store the retractable rib so that the retractable rib may couple with the roller tube and extend from a retracted position, at least partially within the rib storage groove, to an extended position. The retractable rib may have an upward arch or bend when in its extended position. The covering couples between the structure and the roller tube assembly and may be supported by the retractable rib when open. The covering provides shade and protection from the elements when open.
Abstract: A heeling apparatus includes a shoe with a unique feature in the heel that allows one to walk, run, or roll seamlessly. The appearance is that of normal footwear because of the covert wheel assembly. The stealth wheel in the heel gives one the ability to roll or slide in areas you could only walk. Heeling is a new activity that employs a unique method of rolling and requires a newly learned skill set of balance, positioning, and coordination.
Abstract: Novel 3-pyridyloxymethyl heterocyclic ether compounds of the formula:
or the pharmaceutically-acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof are selective and potent ligands at neuronal nicotinic cholinergic channel receptors, and are effective in controlling synaptic transmission. Key intermediates and processes using this key intermediates to produce compounds of formula I with the variables defined in the specification are also described.
