| 20090018575 | TISSUE-ADHESIVE FORMULATIONS - A tissue-adhesive formulation comprises a particulate material having tissue-reactive functional groups, in admixture with a particulate buffer material. The formulation is preferably free or substantially free of materials of human or animal origin. In preferred embodiments, the formulation consists, or consists essentially of, an anhydrous or partially hydrated blend of particulate material having tissue-reactive functional groups and particulate buffer material. Also disclosed is a multilayer sheet comprising a structural support coated on at least one side thereof with such a tissue-adhesive formulation. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090044895 | TISSUE-ADHESIVE MATERIALS - A multi-lamellar tissue-adhesive sheet comprises a structural layer or laminate conjoined to a tissue-contacting layer. The structural layer or laminate comprises one or more synthetic polymers having film-forming properties, and the tissue-contacting layer of material contains tissue-reactive groups. The synthetic polymers having film-forming properties are preferably biodegradable polyesters, and the tissue-reactive groups are most preferably NHS-ester groups. | 02-19-2009 |

| 20110194906 | MACHINE TOOL - A machine tool has a tool holder mounted to a platform, and a plurality of legs for connecting the platform to a workpiece. Each leg has joint systems which allow each leg to rotate relative to the platform and the workpiece and are also actuatable to alter the inter-joint distance. By alterations in the inter-joint distances of the legs the position and orientation of the tool holder relative to the workpiece is controllable. Each leg also has an attachment foot for removably attaching the leg to the workpiece. The provision of separate attachment feet avoids the need for a dedicated base for the machine tool so that it can be used in-situ and in confined and obstructed working environments. | 08-11-2011 |

| 20110047593 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURE MANAGEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS - Secure management of electronic transactions is provided by a system server that is communicatively coupled to terminals configured as thin client devices (TCD) and to one or more application servers. A TCD completes a secure communications link with the system server, and transfers information concerning the identity of a user and account information from a secure transaction card (STC). Upon authentication, the system server drives the display of available applications at the TCD, allowing the user to select and engage in a desired transaction with the application server hosting the selected application. During the transaction, the system server brokers communications according to the different security schemes used by the TCD and the application server and, ultimately, stores a transaction ticket that memorializes the transaction. The transaction ticket can later be retrieved by presenting appropriate authentication information. | 02-24-2011 |

| 20080313294 | MESSAGING SYSTEM - A messaging system comprises a server which registers clients (users) and stores uploaded contact data in contacts databases. The contact databases have meta data including profile attributes indicating the subject matter profiles of the contacts. A content manager receives content items such as collateral parts and message text and stores them in content databases, also with meta data having profile attributes. When a client requests a message to be sent to a contact, the content manager automatically identifies relevant content items according to the profile attributes, and a messaging engine sends a message with a wrapper having links to these content items. When the contact responds, a response management function captures response data and instructs a build engine to build content from the identified items. The content is then sent to the contact. | 12-18-2008 |

| 20080270293 | Accounts payable automation system with automated discount and factoring management - An accounts payable automation server system with integrated discount and factoring management, the system comprises an invoice loader receiving invoice data. The invoice data includes at least a vendor element and an amount payable element. The vendor element identifies a vendor and the amount payable element identifies consideration payable by the customer to the vendor. Customer user access workflows present, to a customer system, the invoice data. Finance company user access workflows: i) present, to a finance system, the vendor element and the amount payable element; and ii) receive, from the finance system, an offer of early payment in exchange for a discount of the consideration payable. Vendor user access workflows: i) present, to the vendor system, the offer of early payment in exchange for a discount of the consideration payable; and ii) receive an acceptance of the offer from the vendor system. The finance company user access workflows further, upon acceptance of the offer, present, to the finance system, an indication of the acceptance of the offer. Further, upon payment of a discounted amount from the finance company to the vendor, a direction to transfer payment of the consideration to the finance company is recorded. | 10-30-2008 |
