Abstract: Described are novel protease inhibitors and methods for using said protease inhibitors in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a ground wire insulation system for a utility pole includes a utility pole having at least one power line and a neutral line associated therewith, an elongated conduit formed from an insulative material coupled to the utility pole, and a ground wire disposed within the elongated conduit and coupled at an upper end to the neutral line and at a lower end to ground.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that prevents a pet from tipping over a food dish. The dish is placed in an open framework having a lid that covers only a portion of the dish, allowing a pet to access the dish for feeding. The apparatus includes spikes to anchor the framework into the ground. Additionally, the apparatus includes extensions, to adjust the height of the dish above the ground.

Abstract: An insulating cap and connector for attaching an electric utility cross arm assembly to a supporting metal utility pole having an open top. A cylindrical tube of insulated composition has an end cap closed at the top and has a reduced diameter nipple extending downwardly. The reduced diameter nipple is insertable within the open top end of the supporting utility pole when the tube is slid over the top of the utility pole. Fasteners attach the cross arm to the tube and the supporting utility pole. There is no conductive contact between the metal support pole and the cross arm when insulated fasteners are used.

Abstract: An oil-in-water emulsifier composition including between about 10 percent and about 70 percent by weight of a blend of mono- and diester phosphates of alkoxylated fatty alcohols containing between about 12 and 22 carbon atoms and alkoxylated with between about 1 and about 50 moles of an alkylene oxide selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and mixtures thereof, wherein the mono- and diester ratio is between about 10:90 and about 90:10; and between about 90 percent and about 30 percent by weight of a blend of mono- and di-ester phosphates of fatty alcohols containing between 12 and 22 carbon atoms, wherein the mono- and diester ratio is between about 10:90 and about 90:10. Emulsifying waxes, oil-in-water emulsions and microemulsions, and topical compositions formulated therefrom are also disclosed.

Abstract: A utility cross arm assembly for supporting electrical wires from a utility pole. The entire assembly is constructed from insulative materials. It is provided with easily replaceable wire support members or protective caps to enhance convertibility from a single phase delivery configuration to a three phase delivery configuration. The assembly frame provides left and right cross arms with an upper support neck. Various arms and legs provide structural support and a way to mount the assembly to the utility pole. Large open spaces between the arms and legs provide a lightweight construction with low air resistance upon mounting to the utility pole.

Abstract: A cross-arm for supporting electric utility wires. The cross-arm is made of insulative material, the inner structure formed of alternate layers of polyester resins and synthetic fabric. An inner core is composed of polyester resin and particulate matter, or polyurethane foam with a central metal reinforcing bar. The cross-arm is modular in nature, and support members are integral with the unit, facilitating installation.
