Publication number: 20240091212Abstract: Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate in vivo efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious anti-psychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: David M. Weiner, Robert E. Davis, Mark R. Brann, Carl-Magnus A. Andersson, Allan K. Uldam

Publication number: 20090031635Abstract: A window or door assembly includes a main frame formed from extrusions of rigid plastics material, and the main frame supports at least one movable sash frame also formed from extrusions of rigid plastics material and enclosing a glass or glazing panel. One of the sash frame members supports a first member of a permanent magnet assembly for movement with the sash frame, and the magnet assembly includes a second member supported between an inner wall and an outer wall of an adjacent main frame member. The second member of the magnet assembly is positioned to provide a magnetic attraction with the first member of the magnet assembly and through the inner wall of the main frame member to form a positive weather seal between the sash frame and the main frame when the sash frame and the glazing panel are in a closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2007Publication date: February 5, 2009Inventor: Mark R.

Patent number: 6298280Abstract: A system for positioning an end effector of a wafer handling robot with respect to a wafer to be extracted from a cassette, and for thereafter reading an indicial mark on the wafer. The system includes a pair of sensor units fixedly mounted on the end effector, which sensor units are capable of detecting the wafer edge upon approach of the end effector toward the wafer. Based on the positions of the end effector when the first and then the second sensor units detect the edge of the wafer, a computer may determine the orientation of the end effector with respect to the wafer, and adjust a position of the end effector to a center of the wafer. Thereafter, the indicial mark on the wafer may be read by a camera by withdrawing the wafer from the cassette on the end effector, positioning the center of the wafer over the central axis of rotation of the wafer handling robot, and rotating the robot until the indicial mark is located under the camera.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1998Date of Patent: October 2, 2001Assignee: Asyst Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony C. Bonora, William J. Fosnight, Krishna D. Swamy, Mark R. Davis, Mike Cookson

Patent number: 5740845Abstract: A transportable, sealable container, for example a SMIF pod, including a box and box door. The box has a first sealing surface and the box door has a second sealing surface. The two sealing surfaces form a seal when the box door is moved in a sealing position with respect to the box. A latch mechanism is provided in the box door for holding the box door in the sealing position. The container further includes a breather assembly having an aperture, with a filter, that allows gas to flow between the interior of the container and an environment external to the container. A valve, which is actuated by the latch, opens and closes the aperture. When the latch unlocks the box door, the valve opens the aperture. When the door is locked, the valve closes the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 1995Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Inventors: Anthony C. Bonora, Frederick T. Rosenquist, Sudhir Jain, Mark R. Davis

Patent number: 5611452Abstract: A transportable, sealable container, for example a Standard Mechanical Interface (or SMIF) pod, including a box and box door. The box has a first sealing surface and the box door has a second sealing surface. A liner, preferably stainless steel, is attached to the inside surface of the box door. An elastomer sealing material is integrally molded to the liner. The sealing material forms a first seal with the first sealing surface and a second seal with the second sealing surface when the box door is moved in a sealing position with respect to the box.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 1994Date of Patent: March 18, 1997Assignee: Asyst Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony C.

Patent number: 5469963Abstract: A transportable, sealable container, which has an improved pod liner. The container includes a box, a box door, and a gasket which forms a seal between the box and the box door. The box door has a conductive liner and a conductive path from the conductive liner to ground potential for electrostatic discharge protection. A membrane for isolating the gasket from the interior region of the container is bonded to the gasket and the conductive liner. The membrane may be impervious to gasses to prevent outgassing of the gasket or impervious to particles but not gasses to prevent particulate matter generated by the gasket from entering the interior region of the container.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1992Date of Patent: November 28, 1995Assignee: Asyst Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Anthony C. Bonora, Frederick T. Rosenquist, Sudhir Jain, Mark R. Davis
