Publication number: 20210408865Abstract: A protective housing is formed of a set wall panels, a base panel, and a lid panel that interlock to form the housing, but may also be taken apart and stored as a stack of two-dimensional panels when not in use. The various panels interlock via configurations internal to the housing itself, so that once an external lock is placed to secure the access door to the front wall panel, it is completely self-contained and impossible to dismantle or otherwise take apart the individual components of the housing from the outside. The rear wall and/or a side wall are formed to include exhaust locations for an included generator, thus requiring no additional ventilation system to be separately constructed and included. The walls may be formed of steel, high density plastic, fiberglass, or other suitable rugged material appropriate for use in structures exposed to the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2020Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventor: James Michael Wheeler

Patent number: 9726659Abstract: Provided are methods for identifying or monitoring a subject having, or at risk of developing, impaired glucose homeostasis. Carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropanoic acid (CMPF) is shown to be a biomarker for impaired glucose homeostasis and/or conditions characterized by ?-cell dysfunction. Comparing a test level of CMPF in a subject to a control level identifies subjects having, or at risk of developing, impaired glucose homeostasis. Also provided are methods of causing impaired glucose homeostasis or ?-cell dysfunction and methods of screening for compounds that affect the activity of ?-cells. Also provided are methods for the treatment of ?-cell dysfunction by reducing the physiological levels of CMPF in a subject as well as the use of a OAT modulator for the treatment of ?-cell dysfunction.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: The Governing Council of the University of TorontoInventors: Michael Wheeler, Kacey Prentice, Feihan Dai, Ravi Retnakaran
