Abstract: A seat suspension including a base frame having a back portion and a bottom portion fixedly securable to a support surface. A carriage assembly is movably connected to the base frame. The carriage assembly includes a transverse member slidably connected to the base frame and a vertical guide member extending upwardly from the transverse guide member and movably connected to the base frame. The carriage assembly includes a suspension support having a first end pivotally secured to the transverse member. A shock compensating mechanism including an adjustment member is slidably disposed on a pivot surface secured to the transverse guide member. Movement of the adjustment member changes shock compensation properties of the shock compensating mechanism. A height adjustment mechanism disposed on the frame includes an actuator wherein operation of the actuator selectively moves the seat frame, the carriage assembly, and the shock compensating mechanism relative to the base frame.

Abstract: A seat suspension includes a frame fixedly securable to a structure. A suspension assembly is operably connected to the frame. A seat support is adapted to receive a seat, and the seat support is operably connected to the suspension assembly. The suspension assembly includes a first elongate suspension bar slidably disposed on a pivot surface. The first suspension bar has a first end slidingly secured to the seat support and a second opposed end secured to a shock compensating device. The suspension bar is translatable relative to the pivot surface, wherein moving the suspension bar changes the shock compensation of the suspension assembly.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment of anti-estrogen resistant breast cancer using retinoid compounds that are modulators of Retinoid X Receptors are provided.

Abstract: A seat suspension assembly including a base including a first pair of spaced legs adapted to be securable to a support structure. The first pair of legs is connected to a back member. A seat frame is adapted to support a seating surface and disposed between the first pair of spaced legs of the base. The seat frame is movably connected to the base. The seat frame includes a first guide engageable with one of the pair of legs. The first guide permits controlled movement of the seat frame relative to the base. A suspension extends between the seat frame and the base for regulating the motion of the seat frame relative to the base.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for elevating high density lipoprotein (HDL) plasma levels, decreasing the absorption of dietary cholesterol in the intestine, decreasing the plasma level of low density lipoprotein (LDL), and increasing the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids, utilizing LXR? selective agonists, usually without elevating the plasma levels of triglycerides. Also provided are methods of using such agonists to treat metabolic diseases alone or in combination with other active agents. Further provided are methods for treating obesity and methods for treating the complications of obesity including type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension, administering an LXR?-selective antagonist.

Abstract: A seat assembly for accommodating vibrations imparted thereto including a seat having a bottom surface, a frame including a base secured to a fixed surface and a support member extending upwardly therefrom. A substantially rigid pivot member is provided which includes a forward portion and a rearward portion. The pivot member being pivotally secured to the frame at a pivot point disposed on the pivot member between the forward portion and the rearward portion, and the forward portion being pivotally secured to the seat, the pivot member permitting the seat to move relative to the fixed surface. A biasing device is included which extends between the frame and the rearward portion of the pivot member to accommodate the movement between the seat and the frame.

Abstract: A gun stock sleeve with a mitten for use in adverse weather conditions by persons carrying rifles, shotguns or like firearms or guns having a stock is provided. The gun stock mitten includes a gun stock sleeve and a removably attached mitten. The sleeve is adjustable to fit tightly over the gun stock to permit carrying of the gun while the hand is in the mitten. The mitten and sleeve arrangement permits quick withdrawal from the mitten, without assistance of the hand used for grasping of the trigger, sighting and shooting the gun without interference by the gun stock mitten and its sleeve.
