  • Spring biased clamping device for flanged connections
    Patent number: 6030006
    Abstract: A clamp device for joining a flanged connection. The clamp device has a plurality of arcuate segments, wherein each of the arcuate segments has two ends. A pivot couples at least one end of each arcuate segment to another of the arcuate segments to produce a chain of arcuate segments that extend from a first end to a second end. The chain of arcuate segments is configurable into an annular structure when the first end is brought into abutment with the second end. A torsion spring is disposed around each pivot. Each torsion spring acts to bias the arcuate segments into the configuration that produces the annular structure. A rocking bolt is coupled to the second end of the chain of arcuate segments. The rocking bolt is joined to the second end by a second pivot and is positionable throughout a predetermined range. A biasing element is provided for biasing the rocking bolt into one position within the predetermined range.

  • Biphenyl substituted dipeptide analogs promote release of growth hormone
    Patent number: 5726319
    Abstract: There are disclosed certain compounds identified as substituted dipeptide analogs which promote the release of growth hormone in humans and animals. This property can be utilized to promote the growth of food animals to render the production of edible meat products more efficient, and in humans, to increase the stature of those afflicted with a lack of a normal secretion of natural growth hormone. Growth promoting compositions containing such substituted dipeptide analogs as the active ingredient thereof are also disclosed.
