Abstract: Linear wellhead connection systems and related methods of pumping fluid into a plurality of wellheads. The linear wellhead connection system uses linear movement of an inlet conduit to transition between multiple discharge conduits that are connected to different wellheads to pump pressurized fluid from a manifold to the different wellheads. The inlet conduit is moveable in a linear direction along a track system relative to the discharge conduits.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of administering ISIS 443139 for ameliorating Huntington's disease, reducing HTT RNA, reducing mHTT RNA, reducing HTT protein, or reducing mHTT protein in a human subject in need thereof. In certain instances, methods are useful for ameliorating at least one symptom of Huntington's disease. Such symptoms of Huntington's disease include, but are not limited to, brain atrophy, muscle atrophy, nerve degeneration, uncontrolled movement, difficulty swallowing, difficulty speaking, anxiety and depression.

Abstract: A locking collar quick union connection comprises a split ring and a locking collar sub assembly. The locking collar sub assembly includes a collar, a locking ring, and a locking screw. The locking ring includes outer threads that engage inner threads formed on a larger inner diameter portion of the collar. The split ring includes outer threads that engage inner threads formed on a smaller inner diameter portion of the collar. The locking screw rotationally locks the locking ring to the locking collar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Transdermal Therapeutic Systems having a silicone adhesive layer, to Transdermal Therapeutic Systems providing specific plasma concentrations, to their manufacture and use.

Abstract: A failure protection apparatus including an air source providing air having an air pressure, a first valve in fluid communication with the air source permitting a control fluid to flow to a pressure control assembly when the air pressure is at least a minimum pressure and preventing flow of the control fluid to the assembly when the air pressure is below a minimum pressure, the assembly containing control fluid at a predetermined pressure that is maintained when the air pressure is below the minimum pressure, a second valve in communication with the air source permitting communication of air between an inlet and an outlet when the air pressure is below the minimum pressure, a third valve in communication with the air source, a pressure container in communication with the third valve outlet and having an outlet that feeds air to the second valve to actuate a warning device attached thereto.

Abstract: A remote controlled duck decoy to retrieve downed waterfowl off a body of water. It is remote steered and driven from a hand-held transmitting unit and pushes the downed waterfowl to the bank utilizing two extendable pushrods that are manually pulled out prior to use. These are retractable so they will not break or bend when they are stored or transported. There is also a stud on the front of the decoy that allows it to deploy decoys or to pull the multiple decoy back to shore with a deploying jerk cord assembly. It is externally prop driven with a moss and weed guard for keeping debris away from the prop.

Abstract: The invention discloses the use of cholinesterase inhibitors in treating vascular depression.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Transdermal Therapeutic Systems having a silicone adhesive layer, to Transdermal Therapeutic Systems providing specific plasma concentrations, to their manufacture and use.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods to prevent worsening of and/or to improve cognitive functioning and behaviour problems in patients with dementia by means of ApoE genotyping to guide the use of AChEI drugs, including rivastigmine. Also included are kits for determining ApoE4 status and recommended treatment strategy.

Abstract: Segmented polyurethane/ureas useful in the production of spandex with improved heat set are produced by chain extending an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer with a diamine chain extender that includes: (1) greater than 25 to 75 equivalent percent of an asymmetric aliphatic and/or cycloaliphatic diamine and (2) a linear diamine such as ethylene diamine in the presence of a solvent. The isocyanate-terminated prepolymer having an isocyanate group content of from about 2.25 to about 4 is produced by reacting a stoichiometric excess of an isocyanate with an isocyanate-reactive component that includes: (1) from about 25 to about 75 equivalent percent of a polyoxypropylene diol having a molecular weight in excess of 1500 Da and an average unsaturation level of less than about 0.03 meq/g and (2) from about 25 to about 75 equivalent percent of a polytetramethylene ether glycol having a molecular weight of at least 600 Da.

Abstract: A clamping device for clamping an object to a structure, the device including a lever arm pivotally mounted relative to the structure, at least one member for urging one end portion of the arm in a direction to pivot the other end portion into engagement with the object, and an actuator supported by the housing and adapted to engage the one end portion of the arm to pivot the other end portion out of the engagement. The device is utilized to clamp a screen to a bed of a separator.

Abstract: A butter-like spread which is spreadable direct from the refrigerator is obtained by blending a cream separated from cows milk with edible triglycerides of non-dairy origin and then churning the blend to form a butter-like spread which is separated from the resulting aqueous phase, the proportion of cream and triglyceride in the blend being such that the triglycerides of non-dairy origin represents at least 35% by weight of the total fat content of the spread.
