  • Pseudo- and non-peptide bradykinin receptor antagonists
    Patent number: 5817756
    Abstract: The invention provides bradykinin antagonist compounds wherein many (or all) of the peptide bonds of bradykinin are eliminated to yield compounds which specifically compete with bradykinin for binding to the bradykinin receptor. More particularly, the invention relates to compounds having, in appropriate spatial arrangement, two positively charged moieties flanking a hydrophobic organic moiety and a moiety which mimics a beta turn conformation.
    Type: Grant

  • Bradykinin antagonist pseudopeptide derivatives of aminoalkanoic acids and related olefins
    Patent number: 5686565
    Abstract: Pseudopeptide compounds based on a modified bradykinin sequence are potent bradykinin receptor antagonist. All or a portion of the amino acids at positions 2 through 5 of the bradykinin sequence are replaced by 2-pyrrolidinyl and/or amino-alkanoic acid or related olefinic derivatives to reduce the peptidic nature of the compounds.The analogs produced are useful in treating conditions and diseases of a mammal and human in which an excess of bradykinin or related kinins are produced or injected such as by insect bites.

  • Microprogrammed timer processor having a variable loop resolution architecture
    Patent number: 5664167
    Abstract: A programmable apparatus and method are provided for processing multiple routines so as to realize different timing resolutions. The apparatus includes a programmable timer device equipped with instruction memory for storing programmed instructions and programmable memory for storing a plurality of program counter entries, each dedicated to a corresponding routine. A plurality of program loops are provided, each of which includes a selected number of program counter entries. One entry from each of the program loops is sequentially selected and a corresponding instruction is executed. The number of entries dedicated to each program loop, or subloop, is selected so that different routines may realize different timing resolutions. Furthermore, program subloop entries could be repeated one or more times within a given loop to further improve (make finer) the timing resolution.

  • Schefflera plant named `Connie`
    Patent number: PP11726
    Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Schefflera plant named Connie, characterized by its upright and columnar plant habit; closely-spaced leaves and very short petioles which give a dense and full appearance; and very dark green and glossy leaflets that are thick and leathery.
