  • Publication number: 20140352603
    Abstract: The present invention is a medicine dosing indicator for use in dispensing medication from a container having a neck and a cap. In one embodiment, the indicator comprises a substantially flexible sheet made from heavy weight paper comprising outside and inside surfaces. The sheet further comprises a centrally disposed opening that is larger than the neck of the container and smaller than the cap of the container. The sheet further comprises a slit and first and second end portions disposed adjacent the slit. The outside surface of the sheet comprises a perimeter portion surrounding the central opening. The indicator further comprises a plurality of first indicia indicative of times disposed on the perimeter portion of the sheet. The indicator further comprises a plurality of second indicia indicative of doses disposed on the perimeter portion of the sheet. The first and second end portions are flexed or otherwise moved to mount the central opening of the sheet about the neck of the container.

  • Patent number: 7041465
    Abstract: Many Gram-negative pathogens assemble adhesive pili structures on their surfaces that allow them to colonize host tissues and cause disease. The present invention relates to novel compounds that mimic a chaperone G1 beta-strand or an amino terminal motif of a pilus subunit. The present invention also relates to the complex formed from the binding of such mimic compounds to the hydrophobic groove of a pilus subunit. Competitively interacting with the binding site of pili subunits will negatively affect the chaperone/usher pathway, which is one molecular mechanism by which Gram-negative bacteria assemble adhesive pili structures, and thus prevent or inhibit pilus assembly.
