Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating depression or anxiety in a mammal, including a human, by administering to the mammal a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist in combination with an SRI antidepressant agent with improvement in sexual function and/or reduction in gastro-intestinal side effects. It also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and an SRI antidepressant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I, and to their pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Compounds of formula I exhibit activity as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine reuptake inhibitors and can be used in the treatment of central nervous system and other disorders.

Abstract: A wireless communication product fulfillment system is disclosed. This system includes a computerized management technique for maintaining inventory data, ordering data, assembly data, and shipping data regarding wireless communication product kits of different configurations. These kits may correspond to orders from agents of different wireless communication service providers. The kit configurations may each specify a different brand of wireless communication device, such as a wireless telephone or pager. The fulfillment system further facilitates efficient operation by direct electronic data interfacing with multiple ordering agents and wireless communication service carriers.

Abstract: A waterfowl decoy that can assembled from a flat, planar sheet to a 3-dimensional decoy that is capable of stacking while assembled. Decoy comprises a sheet and an anchor. The sheet has an outer periphery shaped to resemble a waterfowl when the sheet is assembled in a 3-dimensional state, with a head, body and shoulder. The sheet substantially symmetrical about a longitudinal axis, except for a bifurcated head. The head has a pair of members that are specifically asymmetrical to appear more realistic. The sheet also has a pair of shoulder segments that are aligned by flexing the sheet along the longitudinal axis and securing using an anchor. A plurality of decoys may be stacked, while in a fully assembled state and with anchors intact. While stacked, the anchors may be moved to a position that locks the stack so that individual decoys cannot be removed until the anchors are moved to a position that releases the stack.

Abstract: In an infrared (IR) transient thermography system a sequence of image frames is acquired from an IR sensitive focal-plane array camera. Each sequentially acquired image frame is made up of an array of pixels and has assigned a frame number that corresponds to elapsed time. A method of analyzing thermal imaging data-frames is presented wherein a synthetically generated temperature-time reference curve is used to determine pixel contrast-versus-time data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel aminomethylene substituted non-aromatic heterocycles and, specifically, to compounds of the formula wherein W, R1, R2, R3, A, X′, Y′ and Z′ are as defined in the specification, and to intermediates used in the synthesis of such compounds. The novel compounds of formulae Ia and Ib are useful in the treatment of inflammatory and central nervous system disorders, as well as other disorders.

Abstract: In an infrared (IR) transient thermography system a sequence of image frames is acquired from an IR sensitive focal-plane array camera. Each sequentially acquired image frame is made up of an array of pixels and has assigned a frame-number that corresponds to elapsed time. Temperature-versus-time (T-t) data corresponding to each pixel is developed from stacks of sequential image-frames. A method of analyzing the stacks of thermal data image-frames is presented wherein either the Real or the Imaginary component portions of a Fast-Fourier Transform of a normalized T-t data curve from each pixel is used to determine the thickness of an object and produce a color-keyed or gray-scale coded thickness map.

Abstract: A compound of formula (I) wherein R1 is a group of formula G1, G2, G3, G4 or G5; R2 is hydrogen, (C1 C4 )alkyl, phenyl or naphthyl, wherein said phenyl or naphthyl may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents, preferably from zero to three substituents, independently selected from chloro, fluoro, bromo, iodo, (C1 C6 )alkyl, (C1 C6 )alkoxy, trifluoromethyl, cyano and SO g (C1 C6 )alkyl wherein g is zero, one or two; R3 is (CH2)m B, wherein m is zero, one, two or three and B is hydrogen, phenyl, naphthyl or a 5 or 6membered heteroaryl group containing from one to four hetero atoms in the ring (e.g., furyl, thienyl, pyridyl, pyrimidyl, thiazolyl, pyrazolyl, isothiazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, pyrrolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, imidazolyl, etc.), and wherein each of the foregoing aryl and heteroaryl groups may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents, preferably from zero to three substituents, independently selected from chloro.

Abstract: A method for treating glaucoma and ischemic retinopathy in a mammal, comprising administering to said mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the formula 1

Abstract: A nestable, dual-ovenable cooking pan (10) made of thin, thermoformed plastic sheet material has an interlocking beam and skin structure including a peripheral frame (24) in its floor (12) and vertical horizontal ribs (28, 30) in its walls (14, 16). This structure cooperates with integral handles (32) in a top flange (20) to enhance strength and rigidity. The handles have uniform or non-uniform undulations (34, 36) which, in addition to providing rigidity, increase the effective thickness of the handles and allow the pan to be comfortably picked up and carried when hot. The handles cool relatively quickly. The undulations give the handles a purchase and feel similar to those of thicker handles of ceramic permanent cookware. The plastic sheet material is preferably nucleated CPET.
