Patent number: 7378385Abstract: GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor antagonists have been found to have a sedative or anxiolytic effect on the mammalian central nervous system. Conversely, GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists increase nervous system activity and the stress response. The invention relates, in one aspect, to the use of GLP-1 agonists and antagonists to modulate the stress response in a mammal. In an aspect GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor antagonists are used to treat stress-related disorders.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2003Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: University of CincinnatiInventors: Randy John Seeley, David A.

Patent number: 7013825Abstract: A jack plate (9) moveable upwardly and downwardly between various positions has a trim tab (28) disposed on a fixed portion (10) of the jack plate near the base of the transom (11) of a boat. The moveable portion (12) of the jack plate has a push cap (44) that, at a pickup position of the jack plate, pushes a rod (43) which rotates a lever (38) to move an arm (33) to push the trim tab (28) into an operative position aft of and below the hull of the boat. Above the pickup position, the push cap does not contact the rod; a return spring (50) causes the trim tab (28) to rotate upwardly, into a position where it is ineffective.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Inventor: David A. D'Alessandro

Patent number: 6923136Abstract: A trim tab (18, 204) hinged (19) at the bottom edge of a boat transom (12, 179) is rotated into a position below the boat when the drive (58, 186) is in a lowest-most trim position, and is raised up, when the drive is above a selected pickup trim position. A push tube (58) connected to the motor (16) operates a push rod (49) and a trim tab (18). A push bar (96, 97) is moved by the drive, causing pieces (104, 105) to rotate trim tabs (18a). A fluidic slave cylinder (142) is operated by a master cylinder (134) or by a pump (148) responding to a position detector (150). Levers (164, 167) may be connected by a cable (155). A hydraulic master cylinder (195) is disposed on a part (186) of an outdrive that rotates for trim, its cylinder rod (200) contacting a fixed part (184), driving fluid to a slave cylinder (201) mounted on a fixed part (183) with its piston rod (202) moving a trim tab (204).Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2004Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Inventor: David A. D'Alessandro

Patent number: 6476642Abstract: An improved differential current driver circuit of the invention provides techniques for programming a bus termination voltage and an output non-zero absolute current value of the driver circuit. This information is used by the driver circuit to closely match the internal elements of the circuit so as to produce two very stable (over temperature and IC processing) complementary output currents. The improved circuit also employs active feedback mechanisms to ensure a close match of the two complementary output currents. This may be done using a novel balanced bridge circuit in the output stage of the current generation portion of the driver circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Agere Systems Guardian Corp.Inventor: David A. D. Morano

Patent number: 6464083Abstract: An apparatus for collecting, transporting and releasing ferrous debris from a floor is disclosed. The apparatus includes a magnet movable between a lowered and a raised position to provide a sufficient magnetic field intensity to capture debris from the floor in the lowered position and to permit gravity induced separation of the debris in the raised position. The magnet may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1999Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: HM Cross & SonsInventors: Paul S. Harrison, David A.

Publication number: 20020083635Abstract: In a method of fishing utilizing the flippin technique, a loop of line is drawn from between two eyelets, rather than from between the reel and an eyelet. A flippin rod (10a, 10b) has an additional eyelet (27) mounted between the reel (13) and the closest guide (19) of a plurality of conventional eyelet fishing guides (16-19). Fishing utilizing the flippin technique with the rod (10a, 10b) includes grasping the line (21) between the guides (19, 27) and pulling the line into a loop (29). The eyelet (27) prevents the loop (29) from tangling with the reel (13) when the loop is released, and also provides additional line (31) so the bait will achieve a deeper depth. In a telescoping rod (11b), the eyelet (27) is positioned so as not to interfere with retracting the distal portion (34) of the rod (11b) into the proximal portion (33).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2002Publication date: July 4, 2002Inventor: David A. D'Alessandro
