Abstract: The invention is based on the discovery, after long study and many test operations, that the combination of five chemical elements, towit 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, thymine, nicotamide, pyridoxal, and thiamine, is effective in antagonizing the narcotic effects of barbiturates, and that each one is essential, in the combination, for positive result. Although thymine per se long has been known as increasing the action of barbiturates, tests of the said composition established that thymine has an unexpected and essential function therein, its omission rendering the composition ineffective. These tests were directly made by the present applicant, with corroboration as to every detail thereof by the Chief of the Section of Neurochemistry, New York State Institute of Neurochemistry and Drug Addiction, established by the State of New York, and operating under its control.

Abstract: A composition for application to the animal brain (this term is used to include both humans and lower animals) for synthesis of brain components involved in the learning process, thereby facilitating learning. The composition comprising brain deoxyribonucleic acid containing 5-hydroxymethyloytosine ranging from about 8 to 15% of the total cytosines present. The invention includes dosage and method of preparation.

Abstract: The under surface of an adapter journal box rests upon an assembly composed of semi-annular semi-spherical members consisting of a lower one resting on the outer race of the axle bearing complex, an upper one meeting the top inner face of the adapter journal box, and an intermediate one which is resilient and which may be of thick elastomer. The said assembly lies above and is endwise centered on two opposed and relatively strong resilient abutments, each between one side wall of the adapter journal box and the outer race of the axle bearing complex and which may be of the chevron type in which V-formed elastomer elements are spaced by coacting elements of metal.

Abstract: A subaqueous conduit extends from a mainland terminal and leads to the base of a tubular mooring stanchion which extends above the sea surface. The base of the stanchion is located at a depth of up to 100 fathoms adapting the stanchion for the mooring of very large oil tankers. Secured to the stanchion is a double floating pontoon structure to which tankers can berth. The tankers are moored alongside the pontoon structure and discharge their oil through swivel-jointed tubes at the upper portion of the stanchion which permit relative motion of the tanker caused by sea conditions. The pontoon structure can be ballasted to submerge the same to a predetermined depth during adverse weather conditions. The stanchion may receive oil from two tankers simultaneously and is adapted for connection to a plurality of submarine conduits by which oil from the stanchion may be received at a plurality of land-based reception points.

Abstract: A ski construction in which the ski runner slidingly supports an elongated plate, except at its adjustable front end which is fixed in normal use of the ski, the plate carrying toe and heel binding members, the plate being specially mounted to freely follow the runner in its rapid bending movements in use of the ski, and also adapted to alievate the stress and shock imposed on the ankle area of the skier when the front of the ski strikes an obstruction and the ski abruptly stops, as by striking a root obstruction, a body of hard ice hidden by snow, or packed snow, and this aliveation without changing the action of the binding members or their mutual set-spacing on the plate.
