Abstract: Disclosed are compounds having the formula: wherein q, r, s, A, B, C, RA1, RA2, RB1, RB2, RC1, RC2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R14, R15, R16, and R17, are as defined herein, or a tautomer thereof, or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof.

Abstract: A bread storage dispenser device comprising a housing container made to stand upright having a closed bottom surface and open top end with the housing container further formed having a substantially rectangular chamber extending longitudinally through perimeter walls thereof. A serving drawer assembly is integrally constructed and formed to engage the chamber of the housing container and slide longitudinally therein guided by a pair of side rails on the perimeter walls on opposite sides of the container to a position substantially proximate to the closed bottom surface thereof.

Abstract: A device that aids in the filling of hot dogs, sausage and the like with fillers such as cheese, mustard and condiments is disclosed. One embodiment discloses a blade having a spiral shape having a cutting edge lying substantially in a plane. The blade is attached to a hollow cylindrical member and the blade is positioned such that it remains interior to and centered within the hollow cylindrical member. The cutting edge cuts a curved incision when a hot dog is forced through the hollow cylindrical member and over the blade. The curved incision expands when filling with filler but springs back into position when released. Other alternative embodiments are presented.

Abstract: A hand-held device for cutting food using a circular cutting motion is disclosed. The devise is comprised of a circular disk attached to an annular ring that is designed to be held by a user. The circular disk has one or more cutting edges oriented to cut food that is pressed against the circular disk and moved in a rotational direction. In one embodiment, a plurality of grating elements are used to grate food pieces such as cheese. In an alternate embodiment, cutting elements that cut slices and julienne strips are employed. An optional embodiment employs mechanisms that adjust the height of the cutting elements that cut slices and julienne strips. An optional food holding assembly may be incorporated in the device.

Abstract: An improved hand-held food processor for performing selected cutting operations upon a foodstuff is disclosed comprising an elongated housing, a lever arm extended substantially through the housing and pivotally coupled thereto under a spring bias, and a processing plate containing a cutting panel slidably disposed and adapted to engage the pivoting lever arm at its lower tip to provide reciprocating cutting motion. The housing is formed having a narrow grip-like upper section for handling and an expanded bell-shaped lower section with an open bottom at the base of the housing. The lower section of the housing is further formed having a forward compartment intended to hold the foodstuff to be processed. A spring-driven press mechanism is slidably mounted within the forward compartment of the housing and releasably engaged for activation to push the foodstuff through the compartment and onto the reciprocating plate for delivery of processed foodstuff.

Abstract: A food processor device arranged to be held in a user's hand for slicing or grating a foodstuff, e.g., garlic, is provided. The device basically comprises a receptacle member having a “handle-like” portion with a hollow cavity at one end for receipt of the foodstuff. An elongated, “handle-like” pusher member is pivotably connected to the opposite end of the receptacle member and is arranged to be pressed down by the user squeezing on the device for pushing the foodstuff toward an outlet of the cavity. A cutting member is provided for slicing or grating the foodstuff and is releasably mounted immediately adjacent the receptacle's outlet. The cutting member is arranged to be pulled across the receptacle's out by an actuator lever mounted on the handle-like portion of the receptacle member.
