Abstract:
Stable ophthalmic formulations comprising hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate) as the primary active demulcent ingredient, stabilized oxy-chloro complex (available commercially as OcuPure(tm) from Advanced Medical Optics, Purite® from Allergan, and Purogene from Biocide) for preservative efficacy, balanced salts mimicking the tear film, and sodium borate as a buffer are disclosed. In one embodiment, preferred stable formulations may be used in the human eye with or without contact lenses. In another embodiment preferred formulations may also be used as a storage and conditioning solution for contact lenses following disinfection.

Abstract:
Gallium nitride material structures, including devices, and methods associated with the same are provided. In some embodiments, the structures include one or more isolation regions which electrically isolate adjacent devices. One aspect of the invention is the discovery that the isolation regions also can significantly reduce the leakage current of devices (e.g., transistors) made from the structures, particularly devices that also include a passivating layer formed on a surface of the gallium nitride material. Lower leakage currents can result in increased power densities and operating voltages, amongst other advantages.
Abstract:
In preferred embodiments, the present invention provides methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions for the suppression, alleviation and prevention of the often chronic, severe and debilitating pain that can accompany inflammatory diseases and neuropathic insults, pain that is often unresponsive to conventional analgesic treatment. The preferred embodiments of the present invention further relate to methods of treatment and pharmaceutical compositions using benzodiazepine derivatives that provide suppression, alleviation and prevention of neuropathic pain, migraine-related pain and inflammatory pain with reduced sedative and ataxic side effects.
Abstract:
A security sensor system comprises one or more laser detection and ranging (LADAR) sensors configured for accumulation of three-dimensional image data. In one embodiment, the one or more LADAR sensors each comprise a LADAR device, such as a MEMS device, configured to transmit a plurality of laser pulses, and a microprocessor operatively coupled to the LADAR device. One or more data storage devices is operatively coupled to the microprocessor and configured to store the three-dimensional image data, as well as predetermined protected area boundary and fixed object definitions. A GPS receiver can be operatively coupled to the microprocessor and a GPS antenna. The microprocessor is configured to perform a LADAR image analysis that compares the three-dimensional image data with the protected area boundary and fixed object definitions to identify one or more potential intruders.
Abstract:
A reliable and inexpensive attitude control system uses a plurality of pitch-over thrusters to perform rapid and precise attitude maneuvers for a flight vehicle. The pitch-over thrusters create rotational moments that directly pitch and yaw the flight vehicle. The use of very simple thrusters and control techniques provides for a reliable and cost effective solution. The ability to perform overlapping pitch and yaw maneuvers with single-shot fixed-impulse thrusters provides for high-speed maneuverability.
Abstract:
Orally active benzodiazepine derivatives and their salts are disclosed. These compounds and their salts have anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activity with reduced sedative/hypnotic/muscle relaxant/ataxic effects.
Abstract:
An art distribution system for distributing art to multiple display devices within an environment. The art distribution system provides a technique for specifying images to be displayed in an environment. The art distribution system provides a hierarchical representation of spaces within the environment. Each space may be further subdivided into subspaces. The art distribution system allows a user to select a space within the hierarchy and then to select an image that is to be displayed at the display devices within the selected space. The art distribution system then displays the selected image within the space including within all subspaces of the selected space. The art distribution system may allow a subsequent assignment of the image to a subspace to override within that subspace the previous selection of an image for the space.
Abstract:
A financial institution can provide financial services to a plurality of remote devices, such as personal computers, personal data assistants, screen phones, automatic teller machines, external service providers, and internally to staff terminals and individual branches. By separating the components of the system into independent components, the system and method can be developed and tested on a component level rather than the entire system level, thereby reducing the development and maintenance cycle time. The system and method operate in sessions and can employ a dialog component for gathering information from a customer, a rule broker component for providing answers to the various legal and regulatory rules in a particular country, a language man component for selecting appropriate language, a transaction executor component for performing transactions, and a presentation manager component for formatting outputs to the customer.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a compound of Formula (I): (I) and its use in treating hyper-proliferative disorders and diseases associated with angiogenesis.
Abstract:
A torque sensor system and method. An automotive engine is located opposite a torque converter, such that a shaft extends from the engine and interacts with the torque converter. A target is located between the engine and torque converter. One or more torque sensors can be integrated with one or more position sensors for detecting a position associated with the shaft, wherein the torque sensor(s) and the position sensor(s) are integrated into a single torque sensor package to thereby provide enhanced sensing of the target in association with a rotation of shaft during an actuation of the engine.
