Abstract: Methods are disclosed for treating cerebral ischemia using a combination of C1-INH and immunoglobulin, such as human plasma derived immunoglobulin (IVIG).

Abstract: Apparatus for braking relative vertical movement between two vertical members includes linkage connected either directly or indirectly to a cable pulley-mount that is spring loaded and moves cams that wedge in between two vertically moveable members when cable tension is not present at the pulley. A broken cable, for example, will create a situation where there is no cable tension between a plurality of cable pulleys, the lack of cable tension moves the mechanical cam style linkage to engage the braking members.

Abstract: A multi-stage lift having an adjustable height steering handle/loading bar. The steering handle/loading bar is rotatably mounted to the lift, and can be rotated and locked at different positions.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to tetrahydrobenzothiazole analogues and tetrahydrobenzooxyzole analogues, to pharmaceutical compositions which include these compounds and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and to methods of treatment using these compounds. The invention also encompasses pharmaceutically acceptable esters, amides, and salts of such compounds. The invention further provides a method of reducing or delaying apoptosis in a population of cells, comprising contacting the population of cells with a tetrahydrobenzothiazole analogue or a tetrahydrobenzooxyzole analogue, thereby reducing or delaying apoptosis in the population of cells.

Abstract: The invention provides a vibration isolation mount for a motorized garage door opener system. The mount includes a substantially planar first mounting plate with apertures configured for mounting to structure inside a garage, and a substantially planar second mounting plate with threaded bolt shafts or other mounting elements configured for mounting to motor mounting structure mounted to a drive motor for use in the system. A vibration isolation material, which may be a natural or synthetic rubber, is disposed between the first and second mounting plates to isolate noise and vibration produced by the motor from the structure mounting the assembly to the interior of the garage.

Abstract: A light tilting apparatus usable with an extendable light. In one embodiment, a mobile lighting system includes a tiltable light assembly mounted to an extendable tower on a trailer. The tiltable light assembly includes one or more lights fixedly mounted to a tilting member pivotably mounted to the extendable tower. A linkage operably connected to the tilting member at one end has a catch on a distal end. A linkage regulator attached to the extendable tower has a guide portion for the linkage to pass through as the extendable tower is extended and retracted. The linkage regulator is configured to engage the catch on the distal end of the linkage when the extendable tower reaches a preselected extension position restricting further motion of the linkage in the direction of tower extension. The linkage causes the tilting member to pivot and rotate the lights downward with continued extension of the extendable tower past the preselected extension position.
