Abstract: A locking system for a storage container provides a reliable and durable means of locking the lid in the closed position with a limited number of moving parts while providing resistance to tampering and theft.

Abstract: A carrier is provided for attachment to the trailer hitch of a vehicle which is light-weight, easy to manufacture and includes a tray that may be fabricated in one-piece from a single sheet of material.

Abstract: A cross-over truck box is provided having folded end walls and folded tub ends that permit the box to be fabricated efficiently, at reduced cost and with improved strength.

Abstract: Cripto, a developmental oncoprotein, antagonizes activin and TGF-b signaling by forming a complex with activin and TGF-b and their type II receptors. This complex precludes the formation of a functional activin/TGF-b•type II•type I complex, thereby blocking the signaling of activin and TGF-b. Cripto may be generally capable of blocking antiproliferative Smad2/3 signals and provides a novel mechanism of oncogenic action with multiple therapeutic implications. Inhibiting the formation of Cripto and activin/TGF-b complex may enhance antiproliferative effects of activin and TGF-b.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a sampling device, and more particularly, a sampling device that facilitates spectroscopic measurements with a variable path length and the necessary software controlled algorithms and methods for such a device.

Abstract: A truck box is provided having a reinforced lid which resists bending, crimping, torqueing and misalignment when being opened and closed, and which avoids the appearance or a wave or roll along the surface of the lid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the stereospecific synthesis of (R)-5-((E)-2-pyrrolidin-3-ylvinyl)pyrimidine, its salt forms, and novel polymorphic forms of these salts.

Abstract: A latch mechanism is provided for securing the lid of a container in a closed position having actuator components that facilitate latching and unlatching of a latch plate of the latch mechanism.

Abstract: A truck box is provided having a wall connection construction that permits the box to be fabricated from one or more walls formed of aluminum tread plate or other metal connected to one or more other walls made of a material that may be molded to include a variety of accessory features and configurations.

Abstract: A headache rack for pickup trucks and similar vehicles is disclosed which comprises a three panel construction including a center panel connected between left and right side panels. Each of the left and right side panels is mounted to an upright side rail coupled to one of the side walls of the truck bed, and to a cross bar extending generally horizontally between the side rails. Adjustment structure is provided to adjust the overall lateral dimension of the three panels in order to accommodate truck beds of different width.

Abstract: Novel vinylazacycloalkane compounds of Formula (I) are disclosed. The compounds are ligands of various nAChRs. The compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions and/or medicaments intended to prevent or treat disorders associated with dysfunction of nAChRs, especially within the central nervous system or the gastrointestinal system. Examples of types of disorders that can be treated include neurodegenerative disorders, including central nervous system disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, cognitive disorders, motor disorders such as Parkinson's disease, drug addiction, behavioral disorders and inflammatory disorders within the gastrointestinal system. The compounds can also serve as analgesics in the treatment of acute, chronic or recurrent pain.
