Abstract: A portable cushioning accessory for automotive vehicles for cushioning the arm of an occupant of the vehicle resting on the usual arm rest mounted on an inside panel of the vehicle. The accessory includes a cushion having an interior pad of yieldable foamed rubber or synthetic polymer which is elongated to fit on the arm rest surface held within an exterior flexible fabric cover, and anchoring means for anchoring the cushion on the arm rest in the form of two or more anchoring straps, preferably elastic in length, affixed at one end to the cushion at lengthwise spaced apart points along one long side thereof and carrying at their other ends attachment members, e.g. one part of male and female snap fasteners or grippers, for detachable attachment to cooperating attachment members, e.g. the other part of the fasteners or gripers, mounted in a row on the inside vehicle panel above the arm rest at more or less corresponding spaced apart points.

Abstract: Cyclodextrin derivatives and inclusion complexes having increased solubility and stability are provided. Cyclodextrin derivatives include amino and other modified cyclodextrins, and linked cyclodextrins. Inclusion complexes comprising the foregoing cyclodextrins, and processes for making the cyclodextrin derivatives are disclosed. Also disclosed are cyclodextrin derivatives comprising otherwise substituted or unsubstituted cyclodextrins covalently bonded to agents such as pharmaceuticals. The covalent bond, when broken, yields the agent in active form. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating an animal host are also described, as well as chromatographic compositions and a method for separating racemic mixtures.
