Abstract: An electrical enclosure wherein an electrical component can be moved between various positions (e.g., connected, disconnected, test, etc.) without opening an enclosure door. The electrical enclosure supports a component for movement between a withdrawn position, a test position, and an inserted position. A handle is accessible by an operator from an exterior of the enclosure and is configured to move the component between the respective positions without having to open the enclosure. The handle is integral with the enclosure and thus an operator needs no special tool or other device to effect movement of the electrical component between its respective positions.

Abstract: An axial engine includes a cam assembly housing moveable away from a cylinder head to reduce a compression ratio during conditions giving rise to detonation and movable towards the cylinder head to raise the compression ratio when operation allows the higher compression ratio. Piston rod ends ride in counter rotating slots balancing lateral forces on the piston rods. Piston dwell at Top Dead Center (TDC) provides for constant volume combustion and extended piston travel during the power stroke allows for over-expansion. Rotary valves improve volumetric efficiency and water injection supports increased compression ratio leading to improved thermodynamic efficiency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of obtaining 3,3-diphenylpropylamines (I), wherein R1 is H, alkyl, haloalkyl or alkoxyalkyl, R2 is alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, NO2, CN, CHO, which may be free or protected, CH2OH or COOR6, and R2 and R1 are selected independently from H and alkyl or together with the nitrogen to which they are bound form a ring having 3 to 7 members. The inventive method consists in reacting a propylenephenylamine and a disubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon and, if necessary, separating the desired enantiomer or the mixture of enantiomers, and/or converting the compound (I) into a salt. Compounds (I) are muscarinic receptor antagonists which can be used in the treatment of urinary incontinence and other symptoms of urinary bladder hyperactivity. Said compounds include tolterodine.

Abstract: This utility model relates to a new device for decorating containers and utensils used for selected juices and cocktails generally characterized in that it comprises a clip or grip dividing the device into two in its position of use, a) on the upper edge of the clip having a closed U shape and following its curvature, it has in one and the same plane a set of elongated triangular surfaces ending in points, of a different size and spaced equidistantly, resembling a crest of a cockerel, b) at one end of the U-shaped curvature it has a shaft (support) arranged perpendicular to both sides of the plane containing the elongated triangular surfaces, which serves to afford greater rigidity to the clip during the use thereof, c) in the lower part of the clip and at one of its ends it has a triangular surface with curved downward-facing sides, which serves for placing any desired advertisement. An overall impression of the device resembles the physiognomy of the neck and head of a crested bird.

Abstract: A system and method for the management of advertisements in an graphic object such as an application or web page The system includes an ad-server manager that is configured: to receive (from a user-side process that generates graphic objects such as application windows or web pages) a request for an ad-server to be used; to select the ad-server to be used; and to send information related to the selected ad-server to the user-side process. The user-side process then requests the selected ad-server to provide at least one advertisement; and receives said at least one advertisement from the selected ad-server. As a result, the ad-server manager is able to choose the most suitable ad-server for each request, taking account of issues such as temporary unavailability or backwards compatibility. In addition, the applications/web pages may be made lighter, easier to construct and cheaper because they do not need to include the code to recover advertisements.

Pramipexole, a compound with dopamine D-2 agonist activity, is among the compounds (I) and is useful for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.

Abstract: The invention is aimed at a compound of formula (I) wherein n is 0, 1 or 2, R1 is a linear or branched alkyl group, R2 is selected from a substituted or non substituted alkyl group, substituted or non substituted aryl group, substituted or non substituted aralkyl group, substituted or non substituted heterocyclyl group, or a substituted or non substituted heterocyclylalkyl group.

The deprotection of the compound of formula (I) gives rise to the corresponding amine. The intermediate and the processes described are very useful in the synthesis of pharmaceutical products.
