Abstract: A motorized vehicle includes a vehicle implement pivotally connected to one of a front portion and a rear portion of a frame of the vehicle by at least one arm. The vehicle implement is pivotable between a first position and a second position vertically higher than the first position. In the first position, the vehicle implement is disposed forward of the front portion when connected to the front portion, and disposed rearward of the rear portion when connected to the rear portion. In the second position, the vehicle implement is disposed at least partially vertically above the corresponding one of the front and rear portions, and overlaps at least partially longitudinally with the corresponding one of the front and rear portions. The at least one arm is at least partially generally congruent with a portion of the corresponding one of the front and rear portions of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a brush 10 suitable for coming into contact with conducting plates 12 provided on an electric motor commutator 11. According to the invention, the brush has a means 15 for adjusting its pole coverage between the start of life of the motor and its stabilized operation. This is therefore a brush with pole coverage that can be varied over its operating life. Such a brush is more particularly fitted into a motor for a ventilation (air conditioning) system for motor vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel salts and solvates of macrocyclic compounds that bind to and/or are functional agonists of the ghrelin (growth hormone secretagogue) receptor. The invention also relates to polymorphs of these salts and solvates, pharmaceutical compositions containing these salts or solvates, and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions. These pharmaceutical compositions are useful as therapeutics for a range of disease indications, in particular, for treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders including, but not limited to, postoperative ileus, gastroparesis, including diabetic and postsurgical gastroparesis, opioid bowel dysfunction, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, short bowel syndrome, functional gastrointestinal disorders and gastrointestinal dysmotility, such as that occurring in conjunction with other disease states, in critical care situations or as a result of treatment with pharmaceutical agents.

Abstract: A watercraft trailer has a releasable connector for releasably connecting a watercraft to the trailer. The releasable connector has a lever pivotally connected to a connector support and a hook connected to the lever. Pivoting of the lever towards a front of the trailer moves the releasable connector to a locked position and pivots the hook towards the front of the trailer. A locking mechanism prevents the releasable connector from moving to an unlocked position by applying forces to any one of the lever and the hook that would otherwise pivot the lever and the hook towards a rear of the trailer. Unlocking the locking mechanism moves the releasable connector to the unlocked position and pivots the hook towards the rear of the trailer. A method of securing a watercraft to a watercraft trailer and a method of releasing a watercraft from a watercraft trailer are also disclosed.
