Heterocyclic selective androgen receptor modulators and methods of use thereof

This invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The agents define a new subclass of compounds, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM). Several of the SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected androgenic and anabolic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. Other SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected antiandrogenic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. The SARM compounds, either alone or as a composition, are useful for a) male contraception; b) treatment of a variety of hormone-related conditions, for example conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Aging Male (ADAM), such as fatigue, depression, decreased libido, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism, osteoporosis, hair loss, anemia, obesity, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, benign prostate hyperplasia, alterations in mood and cognition and prostate cancer; c) treatment of conditions associated with Androgen Decline in Female (ADIF), such as sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual libido, hypogonadism, sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, alterations in cognition and mood, depression, anemia, hair loss, obesity, endometriosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer; d) treatment and / or prevention of acute and / or chronic muscular wasting conditions; e) preventing and / or treating dry eye conditions; f) oral androgen replacement therapy; g) decreasing the incidence of, halting or causing a regression of prostate cancer; and / or h) inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell.

Ergonomic Contoured Urinal Floor Mat

An ergonomic, contoured urinal floor mat for use with wall-urinals with the purpose of positioning a user center, up and toward a wall-urinal so as to prevent urine spillage and drippings from reaching floor below a wall-urinal. The floor mat consists of a heavy duty, permanent material with topside anti-slip and floor conforming anti-skid surfaces and is designed with three unique contouring angles which, in combination, elevates heels above toes, spreads legs, pushes toes outward, pulls heels inward, and creates a lift in the inner arch of the foot. The system also incorporates a replaceable drip tray, located between the users' legs and the urinal lip (to catch the inevitable last drops), a topside perimeter gutter (for complete urinal misses), and underside seal (to prevent liquids seepage under mat). If spills do occur, the overall contouring guides liquid into the gutter and keeps the topside foot areas dry.

Program method of flash memory device

InactiveUS20060268620A1Uniform characteristicPreventRead-only memoriesDigital storageStorage cellVoltage
The present invention relates to a method of programming a flash memory device. According to the present invention, after a program operation is completed, a program verify operation is repeatedly performed, wherein a threshold voltage of a programmed memory cell is also detected. If there are memory cells whose threshold voltage becomes low as a result of the detection, the program operation is again performed on a corresponding memory cell. It is thus possible to obtain a uniform distribution characteristic of a threshold voltage. Furthermore, a program verify operation is performed with a compare voltage being set higher than a target voltage initially so that a threshold voltage of a memory cell is sufficiently higher than the target voltage. The program verify operation is again performed while lowering the compare voltage according to the repetition number. It is thus possible to prevent normally programmed cells from being again excessively programmed.
