  • Publication number: 20200093685
    Abstract: An erectile dysfunction assistance device is an apparatus that supports the entry of a flaccid penis of a user into an orifice of a participant by widening the opening of the orifice of the participant. The apparatus includes a tubular brace, a domed insert, and a flange. The tubular brace supports the shaft of the flaccid penis and widens the orifice for the flaccid penis to be comfortably positioned within the orifice. The domed insert widens the opening of the orifice and supports the head of the penis into and within the orifice. The flange stops the tubular brace from entirely slipping past the opening of the orifice and allows a user to grasp the present invention while positioned within the orifice and around the flaccid penis. The tubular brace, the domed insert, and the flange are separable along the length of the flaccid penis for painless and easy removal.

  • Patent number: 5891991
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to isolated amyloid precursor-like proteins (APLPs), nucleotide sequences coding for and regulating expression of these protein, antibodies directed against these proteins, and recombinant vectors and host cells containing the genetic sequences coding for and regulating the expression of these protein sequences. The invention is also directed to isolated genomic. DNA, cDNA anti-sense RNA, and RNA containing the protein sequence. Antibodies can be used to detect an APLP in biological specimens, including, for example, fluid, serum or tissue samples. APLP1 and APLP2 are candidate genes for late onset familial Alzheimer's disease.

  • Patent number: 4927514
    Abstract: A platinum black air cathode has an active layer and a support layer. The active layer comprises platinum black plus hydrophobic binder, typically a fluorinated polymer. The support layer may be made up from carbon black bound with a halopolymer binding agent. Such combination can provide for economical utilization of active ingredient without sacrifice of cathode structural integrity. To assist in this structural integrity, a thin support mesh may be used, preferably with the support layer. There can also be employed between the active layer and the support layer a porous bonding layer, which can find broader utilization with layered gas diffusion electrodes in general. For highly desirable, greatly extended operation of the platinum black air cathode, the cathode can be operated intermittently, or anodically polarized or be subjected to infrequent voltage suppression, as well as being involved with any combination of the foregoing.
