Publication number: 20150355163Abstract: Presented herein are compounds that inhibit T-type Ca2+ channel activity in a cell when the cell membrane potential is about ?90 mV. Preferred compounds inhibit T-type Ca2+ channel activity with an IC50 of 10 ?M or less at a membrane potential of about ?90 mV. Preferred compounds show selectivity for inhibiting T-type Ca2+ channel activity at about ?90 mV, relative to inhibition of T-type Ca2+ channel activity at about ?30 mV to ?60 mV, of 10:1 or less. Also provided are methods for identifying compounds that inhibit T-type Ca2+ channel activity in a cell when the cell membrane potential is about ?90 mV, and compounds identified by such methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Inventors: Lloyd S.

Patent number: 9012779Abstract: A cable includes a plurality of bundles of insulated electrical conductors, each bundle having a first conductor, a second conductor, and a third conductor in a layered configuration. The first conductor of each bundle is connected in parallel to the first conductor of the remaining bundles, the second conductor of each bundle is connected in parallel to the second conductor of the remaining bundles, and the third conductor of each bundle is connected in parallel to the third electrical conductor of the remaining bundles. In addition, within each bundle, the first, second and third electrical conductors are configured so that a magnetic field generated in response to currents flowing within the bundle is zero as seen at a plane oriented transverse to an electrical conduction direction of the cable and located between the ends of the cable.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: American Superconductor CorporationInventors: Gregory L.
