Patent number: 11903916Abstract: Compositions and methods of treating a subject for a coronavirus infection are provided. The methods typically include administering the subject an effective amount of probenecid, a metabolite or analog thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The methods can by therapeutic and/or prophylactic. The amount of probenecid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be effective to, for example, reduce viral replication, reduce one or more symptoms of disease, disorder, or illness associated with virus, or a combination thereof. In preferred embodiments, the virus is a Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus such as SARS-CoV-2 or SARS-CoV, a Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus such as MERS-CoV, or a coronavirus that causes the common cold.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC.Inventors: Ralph A. Tripp, Jackelyn Murray, Robert Jeff Hogan

Patent number: 10626684Abstract: Implementations described herein include a hoisting device and method for handling, coupling and recovery of tubular members such as drill string components. The hoisting device has a self-energizing gripping means configured to releasably engage a drill string component. In one aspect, the self-energizing gripping means can be operable to increase at least one of a radial biasing force and a contact friction force applied to a drill string component, causing the gripping means to increase the overall gripping force applied to the component with minimal effort exerted by a hoisting device operator.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: LONGYEAR TM, INC.Inventors: Christopher L. Drenth, Jeff Hogan, Anthony LaChance
