Abstract: The disclosure includes vehicle-mounting devices to mount one or more utility locator devices to a vehicle for use in locating and mapping buried utility lines. Such vehicle-mounting devices may improve over other vehicle-mounting devices known in the art by preventing damage to associated utility locator devices as well as the vehicle mounting device. Further, such devices may be included in vehicle-based locate systems as well as in a computer implemented method for utility line positions and characteristics using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Abstract: Conformationally constrained compounds that mimic the secondary structure of reverse-turn regions of biologically active peptides and proteins having the following structure are disclosed: wherein A, R1, R2, R2a and R3 are as defined herein. Such compounds have utility over a wide range of fields, including use as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In particular, compounds of this invention are useful in pharmaceutical compositions as anti-inflammatory agents as well as inhibitors of central nervous disorders. Libraries containing the compounds of this invention are also disclosed, as well as methods for screening the same to identify biologically active members.

Abstract: In various aspects, the present invention relates to novel compounds, which modulate calcitonin and amylin receptor activity; to processes for the preparation of such compounds; and to pharmaceutical compositions including such compounds. Compounds of the invention are useful as calcitonin and/or amylin agonists and in the treatment of bone disease such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, and in the treatment of metabolic diseases, such as insulin-requiring states.
