Abstract: Scaleable bacterial injection, aeration and filtration system to effectively control microbial community function of aquatic systems. The present invention is a substantially simplified system with respect to handling growth and dispersion of microorganisms in solution and is also adaptable to many different end-use applications, including treatment of ornamental fish and aquaculture, pond and streams and sewage treatment systems. Initial microorganism materials are provided in the form of aqueous suspensions, which are incorporated into a large volume of water in a vessel. Microorganisms are entrapped inside a carrier that serves as a physical enclosure for cell retention. It has a porous structure to facilitate the diffusion of substances, such as ammonia, nitrate, nutrients, fuels and organic carbon, into its internal void volume, where substrate reduction is accomplished by entrapped cells.

Abstract: A compound of the formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is disclosed, as well as processes for and intermediates in the preparation thereof, and a method of antagonizing endothelin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to selective NK-1 receptor antagonists of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the treatment of disorders associated with an excess of tachykinins.

Abstract: A method and system for assembling a component within a medical device that includes a test station to determine whether the component is in a predetermined working state, and an orientation sensor to sense an orientation vector of the component. A first sensor senses a position of the component within an aperture of the device and plots a weld path associated with the component. An installation head obtains the component, advances the component between the test station, the orientation sensor and the first sensor, and through the aperture, and a weld head generates a weld along a generated weld path.

Abstract: A method and system for assembling a component within a medical device that includes a support device fixedly positioning the medical device and a weld head capable of being advanced towards a bottom portion of the support device so that the seal member, the front wall, the rear wall and the side walls of the weld head form a gas suite for generating a weld along the component and the device. A test station determines whether the component is in a predetermined working state, and an orientation sensor senses an orientation vector of the component. A first sensor senses a position of the component within an aperture of the device and plots a weld path associated with the component. An installation head obtains the component, advances the component between the test station, the orientation sensor and the first sensor, and through the aperture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel cinnamide compounds that are useful for treating inflammatory and immune diseases, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and to methods of inhibiting inflammation or suppressing immune response in a mammal.

Abstract: A compound of the formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is disclosed, as well as processes for and intermediates in the preparation thereof, and a method of antagonizing endothelin.

Abstract: Systems for treating water containing unwanted contaminants. More particularly, the present invention relates to waste water treatment systems including biological media used to aerobically or anaerobically treat solid and liquid waste in water for large and small-scale waste water systems in a way that minimizes the size of the system required to output high-quality, environmentally suitable water that is depleted of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and other contaminants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel cinnamide compounds that are useful for treating inflammatory and immunune diseases, to pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, and to methods of inhibiting inflammation or suppressing immune response in a mammal.
