  • Publication number: 20240077282
    Abstract: An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.

  • Publication number: 20050084493
    Abstract: The invention concerns methods of treating IL-1-mediated disease by administering a selective IL-1 binding agents that form an antagonist complex with the IL-1 ligand. The antagonist complex can bind to the IL-1 receptor without activating the receptor. The selective binding agents contemplated by this invention thus have the properties of free ligand absorption (through binding of the selective binding agent to free IL-1? or ?) and receptor activation inhibition (through binding of the antagonist complex to the receptor and preventing its activation).
