20140086759 | Hydraulic Power System for HVAC Compressor - A modular HVAC unit may incorporate a hydraulically powered refrigerant compressor to more efficiently provide air conditioning to an operator cab of a work machine. The refrigerant compressor may be fluidly powered by a hydraulic fluid motor fluidly coupled to and driven by a variable displacement pump. An electronic controller may be configured to vary hydraulic pump flow rates to the motor via use of a proportioning control valve to maintain a desired evaporator performance temperature. The control valve may be configured to stop the HVAC unit whenever a backup system may be used, when a discharge is to be prevented, and/or when operator air-conditioning is not desired. The controller may monitor evaporator performance via a fin temperature sensor, and may send appropriate signals to the control valve for modulating hydraulic flows through the motor. The arrangement may provide a significant increase in the life and performance of the compressor. | 03-27-2014 |

20110152207 | USE OF VITAMIN D GLYCOSIDES AND SULFATES FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASE - Disclosed are methods of treating vitamin D-sensitive diseases without inducing severe forms of hypercalcemia. The methods comprise administering biologically inert vitamin D prodrugs. The vitamin D prodrugs have a vitamin D-drug moiety and a pro moiety, wherein the pro moiety is selected from the group consisting of a glycone moiety and a sulfate moiety. The vitamin D prodrugs are activated by enzymes at target tissues or cells that cleave the pro moiety from the vitamin D-drug moiety, freeing the vitamin D-moiety from the pro moiety in the vicinity of the target tissues or cells. In some versions, the vitamin D-drug moiety is an active vitamin D drug that has direct therapeutic effects at target sites. In other versions, the vitamin D-drug moiety is an inactive vitamin D drug that regulates the production and/or turnover of an active vitamin D drug and, therefore, abundance of the active vitamin D drug at the target site. The methods of the invention prevent large, acute, systemic increases in the free form of the vitamin D-drug moiety that would otherwise lead to hypercalcemia. The methods can be used to treat hyperproliferative, autoimmune, or infectious diseases throughout the body, including the intestine. Compositions of the vitamin D prodrugs useful in the described methods are also disclosed. | 06-23-2011 |
20150250803 | USE OF VITAMIN D GLYCOSIDES AND SULFATES FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASE - Methods of treating vitamin D-sensitive diseases without inducing severe forms of hypercalcemia. The methods comprise administering biologically inert vitamin D prodrugs. The vitamin D prodrugs have a vitamin D-drug moiety and a pro moiety, wherein the pro moiety is selected from the group consisting of a glycone moiety and a sulfate moiety. The vitamin D prodrugs are activated by enzymes at target tissues or cells that cleave the pro moiety from the vitamin D drug moiety, freeing the vitamin D-moiety from the pro moiety in the vicinity of the target tissues or cells. The methods of the invention prevent large, acute, systemic increases in the free form of the vitamin D-drug moiety that would otherwise lead to hypercalcemia. The methods can be used to treat hyperproliferative, autoimmune, or infectious diseases throughout the body, including the intestine. Compositions of the vitamin D prodrugs useful in the described methods are also disclosed. | 09-10-2015 |

20150157368 | PLATE-BASED COMPLIANT HIP FIXATION SYSTEM - System, including methods, devices, and kits, for hip fixation. The system may include a fixation element configured to be placed obliquely into a proximal femur and anchored in a head of the proximal femur. The system also may include a plate member including (a) a mounting portion configured to be placed on and attached to a lateral cortex of the proximal femur and (b) a barrel portion configured to be placed into a lateral region of the proximal femur and positioned around a portion of the fixation element. The system further may include a compliant member positioned or positionable at least partially in the plate member and configured to be reversibly deformed in response to a load applied to the head of the proximal femur, to change an angular orientation of the fixation element with respect to the plate member. | 06-11-2015 |
20150157369 | NAIL-BASED COMPLIANT HIP FIXATION SYSTEM - System, including methods, devices, and kits, for hip fixation. The system may comprise an intramedullary nail configured to be placed longitudinally into a proximal femur. The system also may comprise a fixation element configured to be placed transversely through the nail, such that the fixation element is slideable along its long axis in the nail and extends out of the nail to a head of the proximal femur and is anchored in the head. A compliant member may be located in the nail and configured to deform reversibly in response to a load applied to the head of the proximal femur after placement of the fixation element, to reversibly change an angular orientation of the fixation element with respect to the nail. | 06-11-2015 |
