Abstract: Provided herein are methods for treating or preventing obesity and obesity related diseases and disorders. In some embodiments, the methods comprise providing a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist with a pharmaceutically or nutritionally acceptable carrier to the patient at a maintenance dose lower than a lowest therapeutic dose (LTD) to be administered during a first period, wherein during a second period that overlaps with the first period, the subject is on an insulin modulating nutritional therapy protocol.

Abstract: An outlet box includes a main body having a top wall integrally formed with lateral walls, a bottom wall, and a back wall, wherein said top, lateral, bottom and back walls define an inner cavity therebetween, an electrical receptacle secured within the inner cavity, and at least one securing member adapted to secure the outlet box within a wall frame. The outlet box is secured to a feature within the wall frame by way of the at least one securing member prior to concrete being poured into the wall frame.

Abstract: A cover assembly for an in-floor fitting of the type having an interior compartment which is accessible through an opening in the surface of the floor includes a bracket and a pair of access doors. The bracket is connectable to the fitting and defines an access opening which aligns with the floor opening. The access doors are pivotally connected to the mounting bracket for selectively exposing the access opening. When the doors are at their closed position, they define a cable opening between their free ends. The cable opening is sized to permit at least one cable to pass between the doors and into the interior compartment of the fitting. The access doors carry compressible seal members in their free ends which abut with one another when the doors are moved to their closed position so as to seal the cable opening around any cables passing therethrough. Egress covers are slidably connected to the access doors for selectively covering and exposing the cable opening.

Abstract: An access cover for an in-floor fitting of the type supporting a plurality of power and/or communication distribution devices includes a cover plate connectable to the fitting. The cover plate includes at least one access door and preferably separate access doors for each distribution device in the fitting. The access doors are pivotally connected to the cover plate for movement between a closed positions at which the doors overlies the associated distribution devices to prevent access thereto and an open positions at which the associated distribution devices are exposed to provide access thereto. A retainer plate is interposed between the cover plate and the fitting. The retainer plate includes retaining hooks associated with each of the access doors. Each of the retainer hooks is positioned to engage with an associated door to releasably maintain the door at its closed position.

Abstract: An electrical floor box providing connections to one or more in-floor service distribution systems includes lower and upper portions defining a hollow interior and a plurality of wiring compartments and conduction tunnels interconnecting the wiring compartments. The lower portion includes a base and a plurality of side walls extending upwardly from the base. The upper portion is slidably connectable to the lower portion forming the hollow interior and the wiring compartments which extend outwardly from, and open to, the hollow interior. The upper portion also includes a top opening which provides access to the hollow interior.

Abstract: A non-metallic floor box for use in electrical in-floor power and communication distribution systems for office buildings and the like is disclosed. One embodiment of the floor box includes a closed housing having a base, a top and vertically extending side walls defining an interior volume. The disclosed floor box prevents concrete from entering the housing during pouring and setting of the concrete floor, and is adapted to be cut off substantially flush with and parallel to the concrete floor in which it is set. The floor box housing includes gradient markings disposed on at least one of its side walls to indicate the interior volume of the housing and/or the depth of the concrete floor.

Abstract: A wellhead protection system is disclosed including a wear bushing and retrieving tool. The wear bushing is supported in the wellhead and defines an enlarged upper portion for receiving the retrieving tool. The retrieving tool carries at least one retractable lug member for locking engagement with the wear bushing.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing operations in a well near the surface of which is a blowout preventer stack. The apparatus includes a bell nipple assembly extending upwardly from the blowout preventer stack and a lubricator assembly for central disposition within the bell nipple assembly. The bell nipple assembly includes a flange member for attachment to the blowout preventer stack having locking pins radially movable between retracted positions and extended positions in which the pins penetrate the flange bore. The lubricator assembly includes a tubular mandrel which may be lowered and locked in the bore of the bell nipple flange member in nonsealing engagement therewith by the locking pins thereof. At least one flow passage through the body of the mandrel assures that no pressure seal is established in the annular spaces between the bell nipple assembly and the lubricating assembly.

Abstract: A cementing tool assembly comprises a float collar, a cementing plug, and a wiper plug having interconnecting locking ends. The cementing tool assembly is non rotatable in the casing and includes internal frangible cutters which are breakable in compression to aid the shredding of the cementing tool assembly upon completion of the cementing operation.
