Filed:

May 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/152964

Inventors:

Barbara Scott - San Francisco CA 94122-2823

International Classification:

A47K 1112

US Classification:

41443, 41441, 604317, 604349

Abstract:

A urine collector is comprised of a container with an electric suction pump. A hose extending from the pump is connected to a funnel for collecting urine. The funnel is comprised of an interchangeable female or male funnel. The female funnel is comprised of a cup with an elongated and curved opening for closely fitting under and against a vulva. The male funnel is comprised of a penis-shaped tube with a resilient sealing ring around an open end for sealing around an inserted penis. The funnel can be positioned against the body through a fly in the pants, through a loosened waistband, or under a dress. Urine deposited in the funnel is rapidly drawn into the container by the pump even when the funnel and the top end of the tube are angled up and define an initially uphill path for the urine, such as when the user is seated.

Abstract:

A urine collector is comprised of a container with an electric suction pump. A hose extending from the pump is connected to a funnel for collecting urine. The funnel is comprised of an interchangeable female or male funnel. The funnel can be positioned against the body through a fly in the pants, through a loosened waistband, or under a dress. Urine deposited in the funnel is rapidly drawn into the container by the motor even when the funnel and the top end of the tube are angled up and define an initially uphill path for the urine, such as when the user is seated. An alternative embodiment includes a urine container connected to the hose, and a vacuum device connected to the container for drawing urine and air into the container, and expelling only air from the container.

Abstract:

The invention relates to libraries of cyclic organic compounds and method of producing and assaying such libraries. According to the invention, each cyclic organic compound is constructed from a starting material in the form of a solid surface derivatized with a starting resin. Compounds are reacted with the resin to add or to form a cyclic group. The reactions are preferable carried out using a split resin procedure so that different compounds can be reacted with a plurality of subamounts so as to increase the size of the library. For example, compounds are reacted with a solid support bound starting resin to obtain a compound which includes an aldehyde functional group wherein the aldehyde compound or compounds reacted with it have substituents which are varied such that a mixture of products is obtained. The invention further relates to methods of producing combinatorial libraries of cyclic organic compounds from substrate bound compounds by cleaving the compounds from the support after synthesizing is completed and to assaying libraries of such compounds.

Abstract:

A solid-phase method for the synthesis of N-substituted oligomers, such as poly (N-substituted glycines) (referred to herein as poly NSGs) is used to obtain oligomers, such as poly NSGs of potential therapeutic interest which poly NSGs can have a wide variety of side-chain substituents. Each N-substituted glycine monomer is assembled from two "sub-monomers" directly on the solid support. Each cycle of monomer addition consists of two steps: (1) acylation of a secondary amine bound to the support with an acylating agent comprising a leaving group capable of nucleophilic displacement by --NH. sub. 2, such as a haloacetic acid, and (2) introduction of the side-chain by nucleophilic displacement of the leaving group, such as halogen (as a solid support-bound. alpha. -haloacetamide) with a sufficient amount of a second sub-monomer comprising an --NH. sub. 2 group, such as a primary amine, alkoxyamine, semicarbazide, acyl hydrazide, carbazate or the like.
