  • Patent number: 6987107
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating humans suffering from, or preventing a human from suffering, a physiological or psychiatric disease, disorder, or a condition where inhibiting reuptake of norepinephrine is a benefit are disclosed. The compositions comprise a compound having a pharmacological selectivity of serotonin (Ki)/norepinephrine (Ki) of at least about 5000. Examples of such compounds include reboxetine, and more preferably optically pure (S,S) enantiomer of reboxetine. The methods generally include administration of a therapeutic amount of such compositions. Also disclosed are preparations of a medicament from the composition, and uses of the composition in a manufacture of the medicament to treat a human suffering from, or preventing a human from suffering, a physiological or psychiatric disease, disorder, or condition.

  • Patent number: 6212828
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for covering at least a portion of a foot-level aisle of a telescoping seating system. The telescoping seating system includes a plurality of seating levels, each seating level above a lowest seating level including a foot member, the foot-level aisle including an intermediate stair member vertically adjacent an upper surface of the foot member of a seating level below a highest seating level. A closure panel is included for covering the at least a portion of the foot-level aisle including the intermediate stair member when the telescoping seating system is in a closed position. In one embodiment, the closure panel is removably coupled to an outer surface of the telescoping seating system. In another embodiment, the closure panel is coupled to an underside of each foot member through a guide mechanism, the closure panels covering the foot-level aisle at the seating level immediately below.

  • Patent number: 5163406
    Abstract: A multiple-runner intake manifold is constructed of upper and lower parts that fit together at a joint. The upper manifold is molded thermoplastic, and the lower part is molded phenolic. The lower part contains an integral fuel rail. The lower part contains a portion of each runner. Those portions are formed as separate through-passages during molding of the lower part in the cavity of a multi-part mold. The fuel passages are molded as through-holes some ends of which are subsequently plugged by closures and other ends of which receive fittings.
