The present invention provides corynantheine derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a hydrogen or alkali metal atom, an ammonium group or the residue of an amine or an alkyl radical containing up to 4 carbon atoms; and the physiologically acceptable acid-addition salts thereof. The present invention also provides processes for the preparation of these corynantheine derivatives and pharmaceutical compositions containing them. Furthermore, the present invention is concerned with...

An embodiment of a launch/recovery device for both surface and underwater vehicles includes a plurality of driven wet-traction members arranged to form a low drag (e.g., water flow-through) ramp design. The wet-traction members provide traction even when wet between the water vehicle and the launch/recovery device. As a result of utilizing driven wet-traction members, the use of conventional hoists, special capture devices such as hooks and tow lines, and personnel located within the water to at...

An assembly for restricting access to a coupler includes a body, a ball cavity engagement member; and a securing mechanism. The body is configured for engagement with at least one surface of the coupler. The body includes a coupler engagement portion. The ball cavity engagement member is movably coupled to the body and configured for engagement with a ball cavity of the coupler. The securing mechanism can fix the position of the ball cavity engagement member relative to the body such that the as...
