摘要:
The present invention is an iontophoretic system that electrolyzes water to enhance the iontophoretic delivery of an active agent. The invention provides a cartridge adapted for use in iontophoretic system comprising electronics associated with a working electrode capable of electrolyzing water and a conductive composition comprising water and at least one active agent wherein the conductive composition has an initial pH in the absence of the flow of current, wherein upon flow of current through the electrode, water is electrolyzed, and the pH of the composition is changed to a second pH thereby providing enhanced iontophoretic delivery of the active agent.

The electrokinetic methotrexate delivery system includes at least one applicator having a multiplicity of non-conductive micro-needles carried on a non-conductive surface of the applicator. The opposite surface is formed of electrically conductive material for contact with an active electrode. The applicator includes a matrix containing a medicament, e.g., methotrexate, or a carrier therefor between the opposite surfaces. When the applicator is applied to the individual's skin with the micro-needles penetrating the skin, an electrical current is completed through the power source, the active electrode, methotrexate, or electrically conductive carrier therefor, the targeted treatment site, the individual's body, a ground electrode and the power supply, thereby electokinetically driving the medicament through the non-conductive micro-needles into the targeted treatment site.

A method for authenticating a transaction is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: receiving data identifying a region where a transaction is being requested; receiving data identifying a mobile communication device associated with a person requesting the transaction; determining from Location Register (LR) data for the mobile communication device data identifying a region where the mobile communication device is located; comparing the data identifying the region where the transaction is being requested with the data identifying the region where the mobile communication device is located; and authenticating the transaction in dependence on the result of the comparison.

An applicator for a device for electrokinetic delivery of medicament to a treatment site includes an applicator head having an active electrode, a matrix, and a medicament or a medicament and an electrically conductive carrier, carried by the matrix in electrical contact with the electrode. The cartridge includes a plurality of raised projections allowing the matrix and head to be ultrasonically welded one to the other. The electrode opens through a face of the head remote from the matrix for connection with an electrical connector carried by the device. A lid overlies the matrix and is releasably attached to a margin of the head. The lid includes layers of different materials with one of the layers formed of a metallic material having a discontinued interface with the lid and a tab carried by the lid.

The present invention relates to a method for removing bile acids from a patient and certain polymers of use in the method. The method comprises the step of administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a polymer composition which includes a a poly(diallylamine)polymer which is substituted with hydrophobic groups. The hydrophobic groups can be a substituted or unsubstituted, straight chain or branched C3-C24-alkyl group, an aralkyl group or an aryl group.

A machine for dispensing a plurality of ingredients includes stepped arrays of canisters providing a source of materials. The bottom ends of the canisters are generally coplanar, and are positioned immediately above a low profile drive train mounted on a tray. A drive train includes two spaced arrays of pumps with a motor providing a common drive for the pumps, mounted between the arrays. A valve tray is located above the canisters and includes a low profile dispense head, an array of tubing members arranged side-by-side in a common, generally horizontal plane, and an array of dispense valves attached at the back of the valve tray. The dispense valves are coupled to the pumps by pairs of fluid lines, so as to circulate materials between the pumps and dispense valves.

The corrosion and fouling of metal surfaces in contact with corrosive acid fluids or acid salts in the presence of an aqueous medium is reduced by contacting the surfaces with a composition which comprises (a) an anti-fouling amount of a hydroxyl amine compound of the formulaR.sub.1 R.sub.2 N--OHwherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl or inertly substituted hydrocarbyl or both R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are collectively a divalent hydrocarbyl combined with said nitrogen to form a heterocyclic ring, and (b) a corrosion-inhibiting amount of a reaction product of or a mixture for the purpose of a reaction product of a polyalkylene polyamine and an alkynediol. The polyalkylene polyamine is one that contains from 2-10 amine groups, each separated from another by an alkylene group having from 2-6 carbon atoms. The alkynediol has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms.

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a system and method for the dynamic provisioning of static content. In one embodiment, information presented on a content delivery system can be refreshed based on information published on a content management system. One embodiment can interface the content delivery system and the content management system at the page level. More specifically, content dependencies across pages employing the same content or portion(s) thereof can be tracked in a timely, accurate manner. Upon receiving a notification of a change to the content or a portion thereof from the content management system, a content generation system may operate to determine, based on the dependencies, what pages are affected by the change and, based on the determination, dynamically regenerate any and all affected pages. The regenerated pages may then be stored and/or pushed to the web tier for delivery to end users.
摘要:
A method for authorising a remote transaction comprises receiving a request to complete a remote transaction from a remote user, for example over the Internet. A telephone number of a telephone, in particular a mobile telephone, associated with the remote user is identified in a database. A subscriber identity associated with the telephone number is requested from a telephone network operator associated with the identified telephone number. The subscriber identity received from the network operator is compared with a stored subscriber identity associated with the remote user. If the received subscriber identity matches the stored subscriber identity authentication information is communicated with the remote user via the telephone. If the received subscriber identity does not match the stored subscriber identity additional identifying information is requested from the remote user. The method has the advantage of preventing fraudulent authorisation of the transaction by a fraudster redirecting the telephone number to their own telephone.
摘要:
A resilient hand-held abrasive article includes a flexible conformable backing layer having opposed first and second major surfaces, a flexible reinforcing layer affixed to at least one of the backing layer first and second major surfaces, and abrasive particles arranged on the reinforcing layer, thereby defining an abrasive surface. The backing layer comprises a multiplicity of separated resilient bodies connected to each other in a generally planar array in a pattern that provides open spaces between adjacent connected bodies.
