Patent number: 6668391Abstract: A water-saving toilet is disclosed. The water-saving toilet comprises: a toilet main body having an inlet orifice for introducing water from a water supply tube disposed at the outside of the main body, a toilet bowl for containing outside waste material and water supplied from the inlet orifice, and an outlet orifice for discharging the waster material and water in the toilet bowl; a discharge tube, one end of which is connected to the outlet orifice of the main body and the other end of which is connected to an outside outlet to serve as a discharge passage of waste material and water, including a curved portion which is movable up and down; means for moving the curved portion of the discharge tube up and down. With the water saving toilet, the waste material can be removed out of the toilet bowl with a minimum amount of water by the movement of the discharge tube. In addition, silent flushing operation is possible since open/close operation according to a siphon principle is not employed.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2002Date of Patent: December 30, 2003Assignee: Korea Item Development Inc.Inventors: Hong Suk Lee, Kyeong Won Lee

Patent number: 5691318Abstract: The described invention relates to the treatment of hyperexcited sensory nerve functions, e.g., neuropathia in human subjects, comprising parenteral administration of an amount of an adenosine receptor agonist to said subjects. It is demonstrated that an adenosine receptor agonist can alleviate or normalize hyperexcited sensory nerve functions such as the perception of touch, temperature, vibration, pain, pressure and disturbances in other sensory functions.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1996Date of Patent: November 25, 1997Assignee: Item Development ABInventor: Alf Sollevi
-
Patent number: 5648341Abstract: The described invention relates to a method of treatment of a pulmonary inflammatory reaction brought about by e.g. bacteraemia, physical trauma or viral infection, with activation of polymorphonuclear white blood cells, said method comprising continuous intravenous infusion of adenosine at a rate effective for such treatment, preferably 2 to 50 .mu.g/ml/min, more preferably 5-20 .mu.g/kg/min in a central vein.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1993Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Item Development ABInventor: Alf Sollevi

Patent number: 5379899Abstract: A dispenser for medical preparations includes a rectangular box having a bottom and a top portion. The top portion has a plurality of apertures, each aperture covered by a lid that is slidable in grooves in the top portion so that the lid is extractable in one direction. An insert having several rows of compartments for medical preparations is adapted to be inserted in the box so that each row is positioned under an aperture for access to the compartments through the corresponding overlying aperture. A cover which closes an opening in a side of the box is removable to allow the insertion and removal of the insert through the opening. A locking rod locks the lids in a position closing the apertures, and unlocks all of the lids at the same time. The cover is also locked in a closing position by the locking rod and is removable only upon actuation of the locking rod for unlocking the lids.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1993Date of Patent: January 10, 1995Assignee: Item Development ABInventor: Peter Thurell
