  • Publication number: 20180228799
    Abstract: Methods for treating neurological or mental disorders in humans and the symptoms associated therewith are provided by administering eltoprazine and/or related compounds. In some embodiments, specific symptoms are treated by administering eltoprazine and/or a related compound in an effective amount to ameliorate the symptoms. Of particular significance are symptoms that are associated with cognitive dysfunction where eltoprazine will improve the symptoms and the disorder associated with that symptom. Of particular interest are non-ADHD-associated inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. The methods provided herein are especially useful for improving functional recovery after CNS injury such as stroke where improved cognitive function will facilitate the acquisition of learning and memory of rehabilitative tasks.

  • Patent number: 8260677
    Abstract: A system and method for regulating a proposed transaction between a first party and a seller is provided. The method includes providing a transaction intermediary machine (TIM) on a network that is associated with a transactional limitations database storing in relation to each of a plurality of unique identifiers at least one criterion that has been established by a second party, and concerning one or more transactional limitations imposed by the second party on the first party. A request for approval (RFA) is received from the seller at the TIM having a unique identifier provided by the first party and details concerning the proposed transaction between the first party and the seller. Then, the RFA is compared with the criteria, completion of the proposed transaction is approved and a payment to the seller is also approved, and personal identification information is provided from the TIM to the seller.

  • Patent number: 7882135
    Abstract: A system and method used to assess animal behavior includes a module having sensors that collects a variety of physical and biological data from a test subject. Interpretation of the data is provided to assess the test subject's behavior, neurology, biochemistry and physiology. The module is useful in observing the effects of a drug on the test animal and providing information on the drug's signature. Another advantage is the module's portability that allows it to be used in standard laboratory cages. This portability allows the animal to be tested in its own habitat, that can reduce any erroneous data due to stressing the animal when removed to a test cage. Additionally, the module's design allows for parallel data collection and interpretation from several laboratory animals undergoing different experiments. Multi-dimensional modeling of the test subject based the system's interpretation of the data allows pattern recognition of the drug signature, and predictive drug analysis.
