Such an idiosyncratic reaction is called how soon does viagra kick in immune-mediated drug-induced hepatitis. Adduct formation has been established as a pathogenetic mechanism, in immune-mediated drug-induced hepatitis. Autoantibodies may be generated, which are directed either against the modifying hapten domain alone, against a hapten-protein domain, or against native unmodified proteins. Chemical modifications of DNA may result in either apoptosis or carcinogenesis.
The disease may go along with typical signs of an immune reaction such as fever, eosinophilia, and rash. In very few patients, adduct formation with cellular proteins will induce an immune reaction and result in a severe, sometimes life-threatening, immune-mediated disease. Since the liver is one of the main organs of detoxification, drug-induced immune responses are frequently directed against hepatic-drug-metabolizing enzymes and other liver proteins, resulting in severe, sometimes life-threatening, hepatitis. This mechanism alone cannot explain the low prevalence of 1:9,000 patients, however.

These differences make brain stem neuroanatomy more complicated than that of the spinal cord.

Cranial nerve motor nuclei contain the cell bodies of motor neurons, whose axons course through cranial motor nerves to innervate their peripheral targets.

[0001]This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/714,558, filed Mar. 6, 2007 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/714,558, claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/864,086, filed Nov. 2, 2006, all of which is herein incorporated by reference.
[0002]1. Field of the Invention
[0003]This invention relates to a tethering mechanism with tension release for use with useful articles such as keys, tools and the like.
[0004]2. Description of Related Art
[0005]Many variations of key chains and key rings are known. Key chains and rings are supposed to provide an easy way of keeping track of one or more keys and further, provide a way of keeping these like objects together in one place. Indeed, key chains and key rings are commonplace in the market today. Additionally tethering systems and mechanisms have been developed to hold various articles at the end of a tether or lanyard, wherein the tether or lanyard is connected to an apparatus, which will automatically retract, rewind or adjust absent the user actively pulling or engaging the object at the end of the tether. By way of example, the NexxTech® sliding key chain, purports to be a handy pocket keychain with a spring-loaded retractable cord and ring. Additionally, tools such as measuring tapes have found the need to incorporate catch and release functionality, wherein the spring loaded mechanism installed to rewind the tape can be engaged by pushing a button. By way of example, the Tape-A-Matic, which purports to be a handy tape measure, easily fits into a pocket or purse and features a 60'' cloth tape with metric and inch scale, auto-lock, and push button retractable mechanism.
[0006]Further, modern day advances necessitate that chains, rings and lanyards, especially key chains, hold a variety of items. Small electronic devices, such as computer storage drives and access devices, such as remote car entry devices and remote car starters, and other usable articles such as cell phones, pagers, and the like, are conveniently kept along with keys on a key chain or on other chains, rings or lanyards. Convenience items, such as small tools, knives and flashlights are fashioned for key chains. Many membership or identification cards are fitted as small plastic tags with bar codes to be placed upon the key chain, such as health club memberships, grocery store savings cards, and motor club identification cards. Modern technology has designed payment devices to attach to key chains, such as small credit cards and wands that operate on radio frequencies to transmit information to make gasoline purchases. Further, many entry identification access cards have been adapted for use on lanyards or other chain type apparatuses. Devices have been created for people, especially people in the service industries such as janitors and house keepers, and construction workers, to wear chains, lanyards or some other tethering device on their person, such as on a belt or around the waist, and be able to engage the item easily, as necessarily. Further, men and/or women tend to attach chains and rings to purses, handbags, briefcases or other hand carried items, in an effort to keep up with critical items, such as keys. It is crucial that these valuable, information-holding and/or high-use items remain securely on the chain or lanyard and are not lost. It is likewise important that the user be able to use such devices on the chain, ring or lanyard without damaging the article used or the device the article is used in. As a result, there is a demand for a chain, ring and lanyard that can provide accessibility and safe usage of devices, such as keys, attached thereupon, while at the same time further helping the user to keep better track of the devices being used.
[0007]Lanyards for belts upon which one can attach various articles, such as keys, tools and other devices, are well known in the art. Please see U.S. Pat. No. 3,908,875 to Wilson, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,427,374 to Vaiani, U.S. Pat. No. 6,598,273 to Buettell. Further, other devices, such as U.S. Pat. No. 6,530,131 to Hopkins, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,216,319 to Elkins, have been adapted such that they can be worn on various parts of the body or even attached to other devices, such as a purse. However, tether feature of U.S. Pat. No. 4,245,486 to Matsumoto, et al. was not disclosed in any of the aforementioned patents.
[0008]U.S. Pat. No. 6,591,461 to Salentine, et al., discloses a connector attached to a cable or line used to relieve strain. While this patent is, indeed, drawn to a quick-release connector and seems to be concerned with the characteristic of disengaging whatever is connected to the tether before damage occurs from stress, it does not disclose the need for stress (tension) relief (release) when used as in the instant invention. U.S. Pat. No. 5,600,873 to May is drawn towards a tethered device disposed between the user and the ignition key of a watercraft so as to not lose the ignition key. U.S. Pat. No. 4,653,422 to Allen discloses a tether system for an automobile. Also, U.S. Pat. No. 6,650,240 to Lee, et al. discloses a method and apparatus for tracking articles during travel. As disclosed in this patent, when it is desired to check for the presence of the articles, processing means polls various registered articles to check for their presence and issues an alarm if an article is missing. Although all of these systems have some aspect of the instant invention, none of the prior art contemplates a tethered system as is the instant invention.
[0009]Also as a result of increased functionality of objects held on chains, rings and lanyards there is a demand for a versatile, compact and sophisticated key chain that provides easy and convenient access and usage of objects thereupon. Additionally, a device which incorporates the tethering system of the tape measure mentioned hereinabove with the key chain mentioned hereinabove is desirable.
[0010]It is with respect to these considerations and others that various embodiments of the present invention have been made.
[0011]This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
[0012]Various embodiments utilizing the techniques described herein solve the above and other problems by providing an apparatus, system and method for holding various articles, such as keys, which is connected to a retractable tether and tension management mechanism or other tracking mechanism and which is attachable to clothing or other article kept on or near a person, such a belt or an handbag, briefcase or purse carried by a person, wherein said tension management mechanism manages the tension on the tether, so as to reduce, relieve or prevent tension on the article, such as keys, connected on the ring or chain when the article is in use. Alternatively, using another embodiment of this invention, tension is eliminated altogether by use of a radio frequency/polling mechanism.
[0013]Other apparatuses, systems and methods according to various embodiments will be or become apparent to one with skill in the art upon review of the following drawings and detailed description. It is intended that all such additional apparatuses, systems and methods be included within this description, be within the scope of the present invention, and be protected by the accompanying claims.

[0018]FIG. 5 is a depiction of the article holding and tracking device, wherein a communication system between the article holding and tracking device and the article is used without need for a tether.
[0019]As briefly described above, embodiments are directed to providing an apparatus, system and method for holding various articles, such as keys, which is connected to a retractable tether and tension management mechanism and which is attachable to clothing or other article kept on or near a person, such a belt or an handbag or purse carried by a person, wherein said tension management mechanism manages the tension on the tether, so as to reduce, relieve or prevent tension on the article, such as keys, connected on the ring or chain when the article is in use. In the following detailed description, references are made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustrations specific embodiments or examples. These embodiments may be combined, other embodiments may be utilized, and structural changes may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is therefore not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
[0020]Turning now to FIG. 1, which shows an embodiment, an article holding and tracking lanyard mechanism 10 is provided for holding and tracking an article 40, such as key(s). This mechanism 10 may be made of any material sufficient for heavy usage, including metal or plastic. An actuator 20, such as a button, exists somewhere on the mechanism 10, and is used to engage the tension on the tether 50 (shown in FIG. 3). The mechanism 10 also comprises a mechanism attaching means 30, which is used to attach the mechanism 10 to clothing or other article as desired by the user. It should be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the mechanism 10 and its many parts may be arranged or designed in various shapes, sizes, and in various ways so as to make the mechanism 10 esthetically pleasing to the user. One of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that any of a number of articles can be used with this article holding and tracking device, including flash drives, access cards for card readers, flashlights, tool sets such as wrenches and screw drivers, self-defense articles, cell phones and pagers, and the like.
[0021]Now turning to FIG. 2, the mechanism 10 is shown from a side view to show another embodiment of a mechanism attaching means 35, such as a belt clip versus a ring (as shown in FIG. 1, item 30), which may be used so that mechanism 10 may be easily affixed to the user's clothing. The user may or may not desire the aforementioned mechanism attaching means 30 (not shown in FIG. 2) when using mechanism attaching means 35. It will be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that although the mechanism attaching means 30 and 35 are disclosed in the drawings, a wide variety of clips, snap rings and measurements of the same are possible and are intended to be within the spirit of this invention. Additionally, article attaching means 45 is meant to include the capability of allowing the user to easily detach the article and re-attach the article 40, as necessary.
[0022]Now turning to FIG. 3, the mechanism 10 is shown with the article 40 protracted and connected to the tether 50, which is under tension from the mechanism 10. The tether 50 should be made of a sufficiently strong material able to withstand repeated protraction and retraction. It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that tether 50 can be made out of a variety of materials and can be of varying protraction length 70, for instance, thirty six (36) inches long. The tether 50 is protracted under continuous tension to a desired length 70.
[0023]One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that many different catch and release mechanisms will work with the instant invention. The mechanism of the common window shade is an example of a catch and release that will work with the instant invention. There, tension is applied to the shade until the user lowers it to a specific level. Once the level is reached, tension on the shade is disengaged. To re-engage the tension on the shade for the purposes of raising it, the user lowers the shade a certain length and releases and allows the tension of the shade mechanism to rewind the shade, thereby raising it. This shade operation may easily be applied to this invention.
[0024]Turning now to FIG. 4, the mechanism 10 is shown with the article 40 protracted and connected to the tether 50, which is not under tension from the mechanism 10. Continuing from the description of FIG. 3, once that length 70 is reached, a catch mechanism inside the mechanism 10 is engaged either by the user through use of actuator 20, or automatically as may be preset by the user, thereby relieving the tension on the tether 50 at the site of the article 40. The user may then use the article 40 without fear of the tension damaging the article 40 or the apparatus (not shown) on which the article 40 is used. Once the user is finished using the article 40, the user may depress or engage the actuator 20 to re-engage the tension on the tether 50, thereby allowing for the tether 50 to be retracted back to the mechanism 10.
[0025]Finally turning to FIG. 5, the mechanism 10 is shown using communication system means wherein the tethering is accomplished by electronic means, such as infrared (IR), radio frequency (RF), a transmitter/receiver or transponder/polling means or other communication system. This is accomplished by two communicators, one communicator 60 affixed on the mechanism 10, and another communicator 65 attached to the article 40. In this embodiment, communicator 60 is in communication with communicator 65 either constantly, or at specific time intervals. When length/distance 70 becomes outside of a preset range or special constraint, then the user of mechanism 10 will be alerted by sound or vibration that the communicator 65 and thus the article is outside of the preset distance constraints. This will alert and remind the user to retrieve the article and not to forget it, which may result in loss of the article.
[0026]In all instances, the lengths and circumferences may be varied in the invention so as to accommodate usage parameters, environmental variances and comfort of the user of the device.
[0027]Based on the foregoing, it should be appreciated that various embodiments, among others, are directed to providing an article holding and tracking device. It will be apparent by those skilled in the art that various modifications or variations may be made in the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. Other embodiments of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein.

The Colossus class of Light Fleet Carriers were a utility design without armoured decks, a top speed of 25 knots and only close range A.A. guns as ship's armament. The order for H.M.S. Glory was placed on 25-3-1942 and the keel was laid on 28-8-1942 at Harland & Wolff, Belfast, she was Job No.12. On Saturday 27th November 1943 was she was launched by Lady Cynthia Brookes (wife of the Northern Ireland P.M.) and then spent 1944 being fitted out. Then on 21st of February 1945 she was commissioned. Captain Sir Anthony Buzzard DSO.OBE. had already spent three months overseeing the final fitting out.
There had been three previous Glorys, the first, a ship of the line of 1933 tons and 98 guns which took part in the "Glorious 1st of June 1794" battle during which she had 52 killed. Next came a fifth rate of 1153 tons and 38 guns; she took part in the capture of Martinique and Guadeloupe. The third was a battleship with four 12" and twelve 6" guns which took part in Gallipoli and Dardenelles in support of the Anzac Division.
H.M.S. Glory slipped her berth on Friday 23rd March to begin her sea trials and working up. Then on May 14th she became operational and left the Clyde and made her way to the Med. before heading for Freemantle where she was just in time for V.J. Day, then on to Rabaul for the signing of the surrender of the Japanese forces there. Later with her hanger deck converted to accommodation for re-repatriated P.O.Ws. she went to Canada and Sydney with them.
By August '46, with her aircrews all by now R.N. she embarked on a time of flying exercises and showing the flag visits, but 12 months later that was over and she departed for home with her paying off pennant flying via Singapore, Trincomalee and the Med. arriving in October.
From then until October 1949 she was in Devonport dockyard before starting her second commission which took her back to the Med. for more exercises and flag showing including the fleet visit to Malta for H.R.H. Princess Elizabeth's visit. In December she was on her way home to re-commission and go to the Far East as the Korean War was now taking place but first she had to endure a severe battering in the Bay of Biscay which entailed extra work before her new now Chatham crew could take her back to the Med. to re-embark her squadrons (14th C.A.G.) and work up to a war footing.
H.M.S. Glory arrived in Sasebo in April 1951 and the handover from H.M.S. Theseus took place; a Yank helicopter and crew for rescue duties was on loan from the U.S.N. for the first tour. From then on she operated nine day patrols off the West coast of Korea alternating with an American carrier. After a tour of nine patrols she was relieved by her sister ship H.M.A.S. Sydney and left for Australia for a refit. By February 1952 she was back in the Yellow Sea, this time to complete five patrols before handing over to H.M.S. Ocean. Then it was back to Med. as the 14th C.A.G. were now time expired and due home. With her new squadrons worked up Glory took over from Ocean on the 4th November and was back on patrol a few days later. Eleven patrols later she again handed over to H.M.S. Ocean and headed for home arriving in Portsmouth on July 9th 1953.
Following a refit in Rosyth it was back to the Med. for another round of flying exercises and flag-showing visits before returning to Portsmouth in February '54. That saw the end of the Glory's flying as she now became a ferry carrier making a trip out to the Far East again dropping off and picking up men and supplies en route, spending a few hours on a mud bank in the Great Bitter Lake on her way out there. Shortly after her return she took part in delivering relief supplies in Scotland during the blizzards of January 1955. The remainder of that year was spent in Rosyth before in May '56 leaving for Plymouth for a few weeks before she returned to Rosyth in June and was finally Paid Off. In 1957 all preservation work was stopped, then after being on the disposal list for a time the tugs arrived on August 23rd. 1961 to tow her to Inverkeithing to be broken up.
Most of the above is based on the book "H.M.S. Glory" - The history of a light fleet carrier. by Peter Barrett.

The International Association of Athletics Federations made the announcement at a press conference Friday in Vienna.

This species is listed as Critically Endangered because its population exhibits extreme fluctuations within its extremely small range. Conservation action is seeking to remove existing threats or increase the species's resilience to them, and the population was increasing following the successful reintroduction of birds to Midway Atoll, however outbreaks of avian botulism and the 2011 tsunami appear to have caused major setbacks to the recovery. The species is consequently precautionarily maintained as Critically Endangered, since although it now occurs at two locations and was recently translocated to a third island, population fluctuations have continued within the past five years.

41 cm. Very small, dark duck. Dark head, with some adult males showing slight iridescence, white eye ring, and adults with variable white plumage on head and neck, blotched irregularly. Rest of body chestnut mottled with dark brown. Iridescent speculum appears teal green, or blue. Dark green bill in male, brownish-pale in female. Voice Males have low, soft, hoarse quek, females quack.
In 2014, 28 individuals were translocated from Midway Atoll to Kure Atoll, a mammalian predator-free island which lies approximately 1,350 miles north-west of Honolulu (Ward and Fredrickson 2014). As of early May 2015, 19 ducklings had hatched on the island (Anon. 2015).

Publisher's Description
A woman's guide into a man's heart and mind offering invaluable insights, understanding, and the tools for building healthier relationships.
Even in the best of relationships, over time, men and women drift apart because of the communication gaps they naturally possess. In What's He Really Thinking?, author and speaker Paula Rinehart gives incredible insight into these differences. In her conversational, almost poetic style, Rinehart unlocks some of the age-old mysteries of the male mind-set.
With more than twenty years of counseling experience, Rinehart sheds a realistic light on:
- how men think
- why they do what they do
- what they struggle with
She believes women who truly understand men have an ability to make an extraordinary impact on their lives. From scientific research to practical real-life stories, Rinehart removes the guess work and shows women how to become the relational geniuses they have always longed to be.

SharayahAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5What's He Really Thinking by Paula RinehartDecember 23, 2012SharayahAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Let's be honest, we've all wanted to take a step into our husbands heads for just a little while to see what he's really thinking, how he's truly feeling or why he does things the way he does. I've finally finished reading What's He Really Thinking? by Paula Rinehart & although it took me some time to fully get into the book and grasp some of the concepts, I'm glad I stuck with it and finished it.
I, like many other women out there, am always in search of ways to bring out the best in my husband. In "What's He Really Thinking : How to be a Relational Genius with the Man in Your Life", Paula uses multiple stories and offers great insights on how to become a relational genius with all the men in your life. Her book is broken down into 2 parts. The first part aids in understanding the man you love, touching on subjects like what men do, why they hurt and how they change. The second part of the book dives in a bit deeper and teaches you how to love the man you now understand. It touches on subjects like expectations, respect, conflict, intimacy and so on. One passage from the book that really caught my attention is, "Our expectations of a man must be grounded in the way God made him." & I couldn't agree more. There is also a relational genius guide in the back of the book that offers some practical yet Biblical guidelines to help you apply what you've learned from this book. I was also very pleased to see that Paula provided a section called Praying For The Man In Your Life. She states, "What you want most to see happen in a man's life, only God can do. This section helped me, yet again, realize how important it is to pray for not only my husband but for all the men in my life. I would recommend this book to any woman out there that's been longing to finally understand, What's He Really Thinking?

mrscruz9909anaheim,caAge: 18-24Gender: female1 Stars Out Of 5Wasn't what i expected.November 9, 2011mrscruz9909anaheim,caAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 3What's He Really Thinking? by Paula Rinehart wasn't for me.Its an insight on how men think and why.
This book talks about God alot and shows the importance of keeping god in your marriage, and being spiritually grounded,which is good, but I just am not a self help book girl so I had a really hard time getting into it.Honestly I had a really hard time finishing it. It might be a more helpful book to a divorcee who is struggeling to understand a man and why men think how they do. There is three parts to this book, how men think,why men do what they do, and what they struggle with.
Most of the information given is things I already new and found to be common sense really. I am a young adult so this book would be more for an older woman in my opinion.Paula Rinehart is a good writer , but i just couldnt relate to this book, which is why i had such a hard time reading it and understanding it.

Scott Allison2 Stars Out Of 5Boasts too muchOctober 5, 2011Scott AllisonQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3I'm a guy. So I picked up this book out of sheer curiosity to see if it lived up to its claim that it could tell women everything about the male mind. Here's my evaluation: just like any book that claimed it could tell men everything about the female brain, this book was a little ambitious when it came to its claims. I'm not saying that it doesn't give some very helpful, valid insights, but there a few spots where I would say that it's dead wrong, and a few others where it makes some broad assumptions about all men based on information from one or two guys. Not a bad read, just not the miracle it claims to be!

The Phantom ParagrapherTauranga, New ZealandAge: 18-24Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5The Woman's Guide to the Inner Man :May 15, 2011The Phantom ParagrapherTauranga, New ZealandAge: 18-24Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This review was written for What's He Really Thinking?: How to Be a Relational Genius with the Man in Your Life - eBook.Review: What's He Really Thinking ? - Paula Rhineheart - June 2009
Do you always sit there and wonder what goes on in that male's head ? What he thinks about relationships , friendships etc ? There's not too much to say without ruining the content of the book but author Paula Rhineheart who has had more than twenty plus years of counselling as written and put together a guide for all women which explains the men in our life , as we all know that they react to things differently than us women. In What's he really thinking ? Paula covers issues from starter relationships, to intimacy and finally the big commitment breaker and M Word that some men try to avoid like the plague - Marriage. In her book , she has three main points which she covers 1) How Men Think ? , 2) Why they Do what they do and 3) What they struggle with. This book has incorporated both worldly and christian views and can be read by absolutely every woman in the world. For me, I found it to be the female version of the hit movie with Mel Gibson "What Women Want".
This is one book, that every female entering into a world of a man or hoping to understand them should have on their bedside table and who knows by the end of the book , you may just be able to understand him more than he does himself.
Breanne4 Stars Out Of 5What's He Really Thinking by Paula RinehartFebruary 19, 2011BreanneWhat's He Really Thinking: How to be a Relational Genius with the Man in Your Life was written by Paula Rinehart. Rinehart draws on her counseling experience as well as her scientific research to provide women with a field guide to the male psyche. This book helps women to understand the opposite sex better and addresses matters such as how men think, why they do the things they do, and what they struggle with.
Personally I found this book to be a fascinating read which was hard to put down. I learned from what she had to say and thought it was a very informative book. I would agree with the conclusions that Rinehart reached. I particularly enjoyed the section on how men change and how to get through to a man.
Rinehart has a natural talent to see into the heart of a man and the ability to articulate what she sees well on paper. I was encouraged after reading this book because I believe this information will prove useful. I will try to put this advice and wisdom into practice in my marriage. Overall, I really enjoyed the read and would recommend it to all women who desire to understand the inner workings of a man better.

- Tested props and output Review by alzeal
Okay to start great motor for the money. Good quality and so for no problems, only problem no real suggestions on prop size and output so after some testing here are my figures.
8x6 APC SF 10.9amps, 131watts, 420g thrust.........too much for max amps
8x6 APC 9.2amps, 115watts, 415g thrust.........motor warm but don't
wanna risk burning out
8x4 APC 7.2amps, 85watts, 350g thrust.........OK
8x3.8 APC SF 7.9 amps, 105watts, 400g thrust.......IMO most suitable
I chose to go with the 8x3.8 APC SF but would like to try 8x5 but sadly no stock.
Well hope this helps
