US Patent:

7090168, Aug 15, 2006

Filed:

May 16, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/130372

Inventors:

Frank J. Brown - Bayville NJ, US

Assignee:

Air Cruisers Company - Wall NJ

International Classification:

B64C 1/22

US Classification:

2441372, 244905, 193 25 B, 182 48

Abstract:

A girt assembly for releasably connecting an evacuation slide to an aircraft includes superimposed flexible panels that are continuous at a pair of spaced connection points for connection with the aircraft. One or more catenary loops are formed in each panel for distributing forces on the flexible panels along a length of the loops. The connection points may be releasably connected to a girt bar with spaced bracket assemblies or directly connected to floor brackets associated with the aircraft.

Alexandre Targiroff - Howell NJ, US

Assignee:

Air Cruisers Company - Wall NJ

International Classification:

E04B 1/00

US Classification:

52 218, 52 222, 52 223, 52 224

Abstract:

A flexible connection joint for inflatable structures such as life rafts, evacuation slides, and the like, includes a flexible connection member to join walls of the inflatable structure together. The flexible connection member includes first and second strip portions that are bonded together at one end to from three legs that can be joined to two or three walls of the structure or to other connecting elements or strips. In this manner, a tensile force acting on at least one of the walls of the structure causes generation of shear forces between the flexible legs and walls to thereby resist their separation.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

John O'Donnell - Brielle NJ, US
Frank Brown - Bayville NJ, US
Andreas Luethi - Jamesburg NJ, US

Assignee:

Air Cruisers Company - Wall NJ

International Classification:

B64D 25/14

US Classification:

2441372, 182 48, 244905

Abstract:

Evacuation slide systems having extendable portions are detailed. The extendable portions of slides may be inflated separately from the main portions and actuated manually if desired. Consequently, attitude changes of, for example, an aircraft subsequent to inflation of the main portion of a slide would not necessarily defeat its use, as inflation of the extendable portion could still occur.

US Classification:

417195, 137889, 137890, 417163, 417167, 417168, 417177, 417182

Abstract:

Aspirators for inflating devices such as (but not limited to) aircraft evacuation slides and rafts are detailed. Housings of the aspirators may be made of wound filaments of composite materials, reducing their weight as compared to conventional metal structures. Such actions as reconfiguring and repositioning jet nozzles within the housings also contribute to enhancing performance of the aspirators.

International Classification:

A61K031/506
C 07D 4 3/02

US Classification:

514/256000, 544/296000

Abstract:

This invention provides novel neuroprotective 4-pyrimidineamine derivatives and neuroprotective pharmaceutical compositions comprising 4-pyrimidinamines. This invention also provides methods of using these compositions to prevent ischemic cell death, particularly neuronal cell death, and reduce the likelihood of neuronal cell death in a subject due to a traumatic event. Finally, this invention provides an apparatus for administering to a subject the instant pharmaceutical compositions.

International Classification:

A61K031/4745

US Classification:

514300000

Abstract:

A novel class of compounds has been identified that inhibit PTP-1B through a newly discovered binding interaction. Methods of treating, preventing or delaying the onset of, conditions mediated by PTP-1B are also provided. The compounds are capable of interacting with the primary binding pocket of PTP-1B via a hydrogen bond acceptor and have an aqueous phase free energy more positive than about −1200 kJ/mol. Representative compounds in the class are those of Formula I: or an optical isomer, enantiomer, diastereomer, racemate or racemic mixture thereof, ester, prodrug or metabolite form, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein R, Rand/or Rare independently hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups and Gand Gare aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, arylalkanyl, arylalkenyl, arylalkynyl, heteroarylalkanyl, heteroarylalkenyl, or heteroarylalkynyl moieties.
