摘要:
Non-effervescent pharmaceutical compositions having at least one particle of carbonate coated by a layer of polyethylene glycol that substantially covers the at least one carbonate particle are described. Compositions are also described where the compositions include a weakly basic therapeutic agent, a first pH-modifying agent having at least one particle of carbonate coated by a layer of polyethylene glycol, and a second pH-modifying agent. The weakly basic therapeutic agent could, but is not limited to, be zolpidem or scopolamine. Compositions including zolpidem and scopolamine are used to treat insomnia and depression, respectively.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for configuring a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader using an RFID tag are described. A RFID tag is read by the reader to obtain reader configuration information from the RFID tag. A registry of the reader is modified to include the reader configuration information. A management system is communicated with by the reader, based on information obtained by the reader in the reader configuration information. The reader is thereby configured for operation.
摘要:
The invention relates to a gene, dep, which confers resistance to the antibacterial activity of 4,5-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-one (DHCP). The invention further relates to the putative protein encoded by dep, which is a hydrophobic, transmembrane efflux protein specific for DHCP. The invention further relates to plasmids containing the dep gene, and to bacterial cells expressing dep. Furthermore, the invention provides applications for use in conferring resistance to antibacterial activity in organisms. The dep gene can be used to identify compounds which inhibit the efflux activity responsible for the resistance to DHCP or to compounds which are functionally equivalent to DHCP.

摘要:
The present invention is a method and apparatus that uses a plurality of predetermined segments to group credit applicants to evaluate each applicant's credit risk. The segments are based on at least one of reported trades, reported delinquency, bank card utilization, and length of said credit history. A score is generated for each applicant based on a unique scorecard designed for each segment The unique scorecards allow more accurate credit risk assessment by evaluating each applicant in view of that segment's tendency to be bad credit risks.
摘要:
An approach is presented for interacting with a messaging user interface. A presentation is caused, at least in part, of a messaging user interface associated with one or more messaging services at a device. Presentation of a user interface element providing a link to one or more communications sessions corresponding to the messaging services is caused, at least in part. Selection of the user interface element causes, at least in part, presentation of representations of the communications sessions as one or more overlay elements on the user interface.

The present invention provides cold shock protein-containing compositions for improved DNA synthesis reactions with improved reactivity, methods for synthesizing DNA using such compositions, kits for use in such methods, and DNA compositions yielded by such methods. The present invention further provides cold shock protein-containing compositions for the identification of endoribonuclease cleavage sites, methods for identifying endoribonuclease cleavage sites using such compositions, and kits for use in such methods.
摘要:
Systems and methods may provide for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) environment on a screen of a mobile device, and identifying a user interaction with an area behind the mobile device. In addition, the 3D environment can be modified based at least in part on the first user interaction. Moreover, the 3D environment may be modified based on movements of the mobile device as well as user interactions with the mobile device, allowing the user to navigate through the virtual 3D environment by moving the mobile/handheld device.

Mobile device rejection of unintentional sensor contact. An embodiment of a mobile device includes a first touch sensor to detect contact by a user of the mobile device for input of gestures by the user, a memory to store indicators of unintentional contact to the first touch sensor, and a processor to evaluate contact to the first touch sensor. The processor compares a contact with the first touch sensor to the indicators of unintentional contact to determine if the contact is unintentional, and the mobile device rejects the contact as an input to the mobile device if the contact is determined to be unintentional and accepts the contact as an input to the mobile device if the contact is determined to be intentional.
