Abstract: An article prevents a drainage tube or catheter from being inadvertently moved, removed, or constricted. The article generally includes (i) a hollow conduit having a medial bend formed with an angle of between 45 and 135 degrees, and further having a lateral opening in a wall of the conduit, the opening exposing an interior space within the conduit, the wall having a means for securing a retainer in a selected position relative to the opening, (ii) a catheter positioned coaxially within the conduit, the catheter having a catheter wall, and (iii) the retainer removably secured within the opening wherein a tooth of the retainer penetratingly positioned within the catheter wall.

Abstract: The present invention provides for pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for peptidyl drugs, method of making thereof, and methods of use thereof. Compositions are disclosed comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of a peptidyl drug and a bioavailability enhancer in an amount sufficient to increase the bioavailability of the peptidyl drug.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel methods of treating a subject with a bone deficit disorder. The methods generally include administering to a subject in need thereof a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation comprising a parathyroid hormone (PTH) peptide analogue in a daily dose sufficient to result in an effective pharmacokinetic profile and maintained adenylate cyclase activity, while simultaneously reducing undesirable side effects.

Abstract: A wall mounted shelf system comprises plural elongate bracket standards adapted for securement on a wall surface, and engaged in slots on faces of the bracket standards, plural shelf brackets support at least one shelf. Standard covers are positioned as an outer skin, in contact with opposing surfaces of the bracket standards. Apertures in the standard covers each are sized and positioned for tight-fitting around one of the shelf brackets and are open to an end edge so that the standard covers can be installed onto the bracket standards, without disassembling the brackets from the standards. In this manner, an inexpensive cover can be installed on existing shelf systems without disassembly. The butting edges of each of the covers are hidden behind the shelves so that the final appearance of the wall mounted standards may be changed in color, texture and other designer effects.

Abstract: A method matches complementary interests of business entities, and includes creating a business entity database wherein each record in the database contains information about a single business entity, i.e., a firm, company, organization, individual, group, etc. Each record includes the name of the business entity, contact information, and what the entity seeks from, and what it offers to, the business community. Additionally, each entity is identified by its primary SIC number, which represents the industrial area most relevant to the business activities or technology of the entity. Business entities identify what products, services, capital, or technology they offer, or may be interested in acquiring. The method provides public access to the database for listing new entities in the database and for public searching in the database to find entities offering what is sought by the searcher, and to find those that seek what the searcher offers.

Abstract: A tire pressure indicator is mounted onto the fill stem of a tire and provides a window for indicating if the tire has adequate pressure or not. The indicator show adequate, marginal and underinflated conditions by color bands opposite the window. The pressure indicator may be permanently mounted onto the tire and used to fill the tire and maintain pressure in the tire. As the tire is filled the indicator moves from one color band to the next until the indicator shows that adequate pressure has been attained whereupon the hose may be disconnected.

Abstract: A method of fabricating multiple layer, solid, thin films on a substrate having a surface to be coated, the method providing control over the thickness, stoichiometry, and morphology of each separate layer formed by a method comprising steps: A. forming a first ion beam from an inert gas; B, bombarding a target surface with said first ion beam in a vacuum chamber to generate a vapor cloud composed of the target material atoms by the process of sputtering; C. adjusting the respective positions of the substrate surface for coating and the target surface to promote the condensation of the vapor upon the substrate surface for coating; D. forming a second ion beam, the second ion beam's ions being formed from a mixture of inert and reactive gases; E.
