Abstract: A multiple-rope or multiple-cable pulling device is provided for positioning a load. The device can include an electronic controller that interprets a user's input from an interface such as a trigger or a joystick, and activates electronically controlled motors that drive one or more rope pulling mechanisms, such as winches. When the winches pull in or pay out cable in accordance with the controller's demand, the load is moved along the desired trajectory as specified by the user through the device interface.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof of structural formula I wherein the variables R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as described herein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of formula I as well as methods of treatment employing compounds of formula I to treat a disease or disorder characterized by abnormal bone or mineral homeostasis such as hypoparathyroidism, osteoporosis, osteopenia, periodontal disease, Paget's disease, bone fracture, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.

Abstract: A device for pulling an elongate member includes a powered rotational motor having an output and a rotating drum connected to the output of said rotational motor where the rotating drum has a longitudinal axis and a circumference. The device further includes a guide mechanism for guiding the resilient elongate element onto, around at least a portion of the circumference of, and off of, the rotating drum. When the powered rotational motor turns the rotating drum, the rotating drum thereby continuously pulls the resilient elongate element through the device.

Abstract: A device capable of pulling an object (e.g., a person) by or up a tensioning member (e.g., a rope) is provided. The device can be configured to mate to any location of the tensioning member, and subsequently interface with a rotational power source (such a mechanical drill). Once interfaced, an output of the rotational energy source can be rotationally coupled to a rotating drum of the device wherein the drum is in communication with the tensioning member. With the addition of power, the drum(s) can pull the tensioning member through the device and allow for a continuous force to be applied to an object attached to the device or attached to the tensioning member. The use of such a convenient and low-cost power source allows for an economic, portable, and simple to use device capable of lifting and/or pulling heavy loads.

Abstract: A temperature regulating device capable for environmentally adaptable transport of transporting temperature sensitive products is provided including an insulated casing having an interior portion and a temperature regulating device for maintaining the interior portion at a temperature range lower than ambient temperature exterior to the interior portion, wherein the temperature regulating device maintains the lower temperature without external power sources. The temperature device is personally portable and includes a backpack attachment for transporting by a single individual.

Abstract: The present invention relates to exo-(t-butyl 2R(+))-2-amino-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-7-carboxylate (formula 1) a novel compound, and the process for the preparation thereof, and novel intermediates therein.

Abstract: A fluid quick connector includes a housing and a sleeve movable between first and second positions within the housing upon engagement with an endform inserted into the housing. A retainer mounted on the housing includes at least one radially inward extending protrusion which extends through an aperture in the housing into engagement with the endform to latch the endform in the housing. The sleeve, when in the first position, blocks extension of the protrusion through the aperture in the housing to allow insertion of the endform in the housing. Movement of the sleeve to the second position allows the retainer to retract moving the protrusion through the aperture in the housing into engagement with the endform.

Abstract: The invention provides compounds of Formula I: wherein Azabicyclo is W is where the variables have the definitions discussed herein. These compounds may be in the form of pharmaceutical salts or compositions, may be in pure enantiomeric form or racemic mixtures, and are useful in pharmaceuticals to treat a disease or condition in which ?7 is known to be involved.

Abstract: A fluid quick connector couples an endform having a raised flange in a bore of a fluid operative element. In one aspect, a retainer in the form of a plate has opposed edges forming channels movably mounting the plate on a housing. Side tabs releasably lock the retainer in a moved position to latch the endform in the housing. In another aspect, the retainer includes spring arms which bias the retainer to the second position. The retainer is held in the first position by a lip of a top hat extending outward from the housing. The top hat moves longitudinally inward upon engagement with an endform to free the spring arms to automatically move the retainer to the second position latching the endform in the housing.
