Abstract: A sterilizable pouch having both internal and external sterilization record indicators to indicate whether attempted steam sterilization of the pouch and contents was successful or unsuccessful. The pouch preferably has one indicium in each indicator responsive to multi-parameter sterilization by steam, and another indicium in each indicator responsive to gas sterilization, such as using ethylene oxide.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of a compound of Formula I in combination with a suitable carrier, diluent, or excipient, and methods for treating physiological disorders, particularly congestive heart disease, comprising administering to a patient in thereof an effective amount of a compound of Formula I.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating pathological disorders susceptible to steroid hormone nuclear receptor modulation comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In addition, the present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compounds of Formula (I), including the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as pharmaceutical compositions which comprise as an active ingredient a compound of Formula (I).

Abstract: The present invention provides servo systems and accompanying methods for determining the relative position of a transducer head to a magnetic storage tape utilizing the position of the magnetic storage tape edge. In one example, a method for positioning a transducer head relative to a magnetic storage medium includes optically sensing a position of an edge of the storage medium, and repositioning the transducer head relative to the storage medium based on the read signal and the position of the edge of the storage medium.

Abstract: In one example, a method is provided for detecting the relative position of a transducer head with respect to a storage medium utilizing existing or previously written data structures on a magnetic storage tape and optically diffractive media. The method includes generating a read signal from a read element associated with a transducer head, the read signal generated from a reference data track stored on a magnetic storage medium, and determining a relative position of a first diffractive medium with respect to a second diffractive medium, wherein the first diffractive medium is associated with the storage medium. The transducer head is repositioned relative to the storage medium in response to the read signal and the relative position of the first diffractive medium and the second diffractive medium.

Abstract: According to one aspect, methods and systems for determining the position of a recording head using existing data structures on magnetic storage media are provided. In one example, a recording head writes data to an active track on a magnetic storage tape, the recording head including a write element and a read element in a known spatial relationship, wherein the read element is configured to access at least a portion of a reference track when the write element is accessing the active track. A controller determines a relative position of the transducer element to the reference track and repositions the recording head to write data to the active track. The read element may be a backward channel reader or dedicated read element of the recording head for reading reference tracks during read and/or write operations.

Abstract: he present invention relates to methods of treating pathological disorders susceptible to steroid hormone nuclear receptor modulation, particularly congestive heart failure, comprising administering to a patient in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the formula: I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In addition, the present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compounds of Formula I, including the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as pharmaceutical compositions which comprise as an active ingredient a compound of Formula I.

Abstract: In a bag configuration, a sanitary cover of clear plastic construction material to be placed over a handgrip of a dentist's overhead light that has an imprint, such as an arrow, on a rear bag panel in the middle of unsealed edges that in use bound an opening through which the handgrip is projected into the bag, in which the user is instructed to rub apart the unsealed edges at the observed site of the arrow, and thus neutralizes a static electricity clinging together of the unsealed edges that otherwise would be difficult to separate.

Abstract: A tissue face mask similar to that used by a dentist but placed in covering relation over the face of a patient preparatory to a dental procedure using a laser or similar light-emitting device in which mask there are shaping stays that are manually conformed to the facial features of the patient to prevent harm to the patient from the emitted light of the dental procedure.

Abstract: A tissue face mask similar to that used by a dentist but placed in covering relation over the face of a patient preparatory to an abrasive dental procedure in which mask there are shaping stays that are manually conformed to the facial features of the patient to prevent harm to the patient from the particulate fall out of the abrasive dental procedure.

Abstract: For a mouth-covering dental face mask supported by elastic loops which mask during use on occasion has to be moved to a clearance or mouth-uncovered position to permit discourse between the patient and dentist, the use of eyeglasses both for supporting the elastic loops and also for conveniently masking and unmasking the dentist correlated to the taking off and putting on the eyeglasses.
