  • Patent number: 8931466
    Abstract: An apparatus for one-handed operation of archery equipment may facilitate drawing and firing of an arrow from a bow. The apparatus may comprise a release aid having jaws for selective engagement and disengagement of a bowstring and a trigger mechanism operable to open and close the jaws. Head gear may be configured for attachment to the head of an archer and may be coupled to the release aid with a connection mechanism such that the archer may resist a tension in the bowstring with the headgear. An alternative apparatus comprises an automatic drawbar and engagement head such that an archer may manipulate drawbar controls to draw and release an arrow from a bow.

  • Publication number: 20100062448
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery that ?PKC expression is increased in the tissues of arthritis patients as compared to normal individuals. Accordingly, the present invention provides methods of diagnosing, prognosing, and monitoring the course of arthritis in a patient based on increased ?PKC gene expression in arthritic tissue. The present invention further provides compounds that inhibit the expression of ?PKC for use as remedies in the treatment of arthritis, including, but not limited to, inhibitory polynucleotides and polypeptides, small molecules, and peptide inhibitors. In addition, the present invention provides pharmaceutical formulations and routes of administration for such remedies, as well as methods for assessing their efficacy.
