Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I), which are antagonists of the 5-HT6 receptor.

Abstract: The antifouling composition of the present invention includes a polyurea component formed from an aliphatic polyisocyanate and an amino-terminated silane, which is reacted with a polyamide curing agent blocked with an epoxy-modified silane.

Abstract: A vial for dispensing a liquid into a syringe is described which comprises a body section for holding the liquid, the body section having a top and a bottom; a port having a removable seal, where the port is adapted for a syringe connection and where the port is interconnected with the body section at a point near the top of the body section by a passageway which for at least a portion of its length extends above the level of the liquid in the body section when the vial is inverted, thereby preventing leakage of the liquid from the body section when the seal of the port is removed. A method of making the vial is also described.

Abstract: A dispensing container fillable with a liquid includes a squeezable reservoir for holding the liquid prior to dispensing, a dispensing outlet for expending the liquid, and a flow control system for regulating the velocity of the liquid exiting the outlet when a squeezing pressure is applied to the liquid-holding reservoir.

Abstract: A dispensing container fillable with a liquid includes a squeezable reservoir for holding the liquid prior to dispensing; a dispensing head which appears substantially flat in profile and which is integral with the squeezable reservoir and having a distal end and a proximal end and having a bottom surface and a top surface one or both of which has an indented portion; an outlet at the distal end of the dispensing head for dispensing the liquid from the container; a passage interconnecting the squeezable reservoir and the outlet; and a stop disposed near the proximal end of the dispensing head to prevent over-insertion of the dispensing head into a user's mouth when the container is used to dispense the liquid to the user. Containers that are pre-filled with liquid and a method of making the containers are also described.

Abstract: A simulator for simulating a sensing system includes modules operable to simulate sensors sensing a scene. The modules include: a path modeling module operable to model a path for each sensor; a radiative transfer module operable to model a transfer of radiance from the scene to each sensor; and instrument response modules operable to model the response of the sensors to the transferred radiance. A control module manages the operation of the modules.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium contains instructions for controlling a computer system in the analysis of an experiment to detect RNA or DNA in a sample by receiving exported cycle threshold values (exported CT values) for a plate of wells from a polymerase chain reaction system and then calculates the delta CT, the delta delta CT and the relative transcriptional change for the sample. The results including the cycle threshold values inputted from the polymerase chain reaction system are then displayed.

Abstract: An attachment and sealing system for securing a combustor cap assembly to a combustion chamber, while providing effective cooling to the combustor cap assembly aft end, is disclosed. The combustor cap assembly is secured within a combustion chamber by a plurality of pins such that the aft end region of the combustor cap assembly is cooled by a fluid medium that is injected through a plurality of first holes in the combustion chamber wall. A generally annular seal, which encompasses the combustor cap assembly, has a plurality of raised ridges, which are in sealing contact with the combustion chamber wall. Multiple embodiments are disclosed regarding the length of the generally annular seal and position and orientation of the plurality of first cooling holes in the combustion chamber wall.

Abstract: A two-stage gas turbine combustor is disclosed that incorporates an improved assembly and disassembly methodology that results in improved inspection and repair techniques. The combustor includes an upper liner, lower liner, cap assembly, and a venturi assembly that directs cooling air into the combustion chamber for use in the combustion process, wherein a venturi assembly is inserted within an upper liner and an upper liner is then inserted in a lower liner. The venturi assembly, upper liner, and lower liner are fixed together with a plurality of easily removable retaining pins. The improved assembly allows for easier inspection and repair of the upper liner, lower liner, and venturi assembly.
