| 20100138237 | SENSITIVE DRUG DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A drug distribution system and method utilizes a central pharmacy and database to track all prescriptions for a sensitive drug. Information is kept in the database regarding all physicians allowed to prescribe the sensitive drug, and all patients receiving the drug. Abuses are identified by monitoring data in the database for prescription patterns by physicians and prescriptions obtained by patients. Further verification is made that the physician is eligible to prescribe the drug by consulting a separate database, and optionally whether any actions are taken against the physician. Multiple controls beyond those for normal drugs are imposed on the distribution depending on the sensitivity of the drug. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20080235294 | No data loss system with reduced commit latency - Techniques for reducing commit latency in a database system having a primary database system and a standby database system that is receiving a stream of redo data items from the primary. The standby sends an acknowledgment for a received item of redo data before the standby writes the redo data item to a redo log for the stream. When a no more redo event occurs in the standby, the standby sets a “no data lost flag” in the redo log if the stream of redo data items has no gaps and all of the redo data items received in the standby have been written to the redo log. The database system may operate in a first mode in which an acknowledgment is sent as just described and a second mode in which an acknowledgment is sent after the redo data item has been written to the redo log. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20090078638 | Centrifugal filter - Filtration device suited for concentration of liquid samples, particularly biomolecules, and a method of concentrating, desalting, purifying and/or fractionating liquid samples. In certain embodiments the device includes a housing having a sample reservoir, and two substantially vertically oriented and spaced apart membranes disposed in the housing. An underdrain is associated with each membrane such that fluid passing through each membrane flows through a respective underdrain into a filtrate collection chamber. The fluid that does not pass through the membrane is collected in the retentate collection chamber, and can be recovered such as by a reverse spinning step, achieving recoveries greater than about 90%. The substantially vertical orientation of the membranes increases the available membrane area by at least 2.7 times the area available in a conventional filter device. The two-panel configuration also maintains more available membrane area in use during the last stages of filtration than a one-panel configuration. | 03-26-2009 |

The laminate polyolefin sealing layer can have a portion such as one or more edge areas that are sealed to itself or a second laminate forming a lumen or chamber area. The lumen area is physically isolated from the pressure sensitive adhesive and microcapsule layer by a polyolefin layer until the polyolefin layer is ruptured. | 12-23-2010 |
