Abstract: A cam cover for a motorcycle engine comprises a fluid passageway for crankcase ventilation, a camshaft support, and a crankshaft support. The fluid passageway is routed such that the camshaft support and the crankshaft support are positioned to one side of the fluid passageway. Additionally, the cam cover comprises a piece of sheet material that partially bounds the fluid passageway and creates a settling chamber for separating oil out of mixture with gaseous fluids being vented.

Abstract: A rocker box bottom for an internal combustion engine includes a body that defines an oil/air inlet, an oil outlet, a chamber therebetween and a valve seat between the chamber and the oil/air inlet. The body seals to a rocker box top and defines the inlet and outlets. The seat may accept a valve along a diagonally downward direction with the oil outlet below the seat. In the alternative, the path between the oil/air inlet and the air outlet may turn the air flowing therethrough approximately 180 degrees. In another preferred embodiment, the valve may be a reed valve that, in cooperation with the chamber walls, turns the oil/air mixture flowing therethrough approximately 180 degrees.

Abstract: A shroud is disclosed that disguises the particular type of motorcycle fork blade to which it's attached, thereby making the fork blade appear to be that of a different type. As disclosed, a motorcycle fork comprises a fork blade and a shroud. The fork blade comprises an upper support member telescopically received within a lower support member. The shroud is fixedly attached to the upper support member and the lower support member is telescopically received in the lower portion of the shroud. Thus, the invention provides a method of disguising motorcycle forks by attaching the shroud to the motorcycle fork. A method of assembling the shroud to a fork assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel tricyclic antidepressant derivatives which are synthesized for the covalent attachment to antigens (proteins or polypeptides) for the preparation of antibodies or receptors to tricyclic antidepressant and tricyclic antidepressant metabolites. The resulting novel antigens may be used for the production of antibodies or receptors using standard methods. Once generated, the antibodies or receptors and the novel derivatives which are covalently attached to proteins, polypeptides or labels may be used in the immunoassay process.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses a method of treating a disease by maintaining chronic steady state serum levels of a GLP-1 compound within a specified range.

Abstract: Assay device structures for a device where fluid flows from a one region to another. The device structures comprising one or more capillarity-inducing structures; where the capillarity-inducing structure induces capillary force along an axis that is essentially perpendicular to the axis along which capillary force induced in another region of the device.

Abstract: A vehicle seat weight classification system includes a recalibration strategy to ensure sensor accuracy over time. A controller preferably is programmed to periodically sample outputs of the sensors when a seat is unoccupied. Average sensor output information is compared to a currently stored calibration value. If the newly determined average value meets selected criteria, then the sensor is recalibrated using the new information. The system and method of this invention compensates for changes in sensor performance over time caused by changes in system characteristics, such as material offset drift.
