| 20090215753 | Topical Compositions for Paediatric Use - The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for treating a paediatric mammal, the compositions comprising a therapeutic agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, the composition being suitable for topical application resulting in transdermal administration of the therapeutic agent and a systemic therapeutic effect. The invention also provides relates uses of the compositions, applicators and kits. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090304812 | Topical Pharmaceutical Compositions - The present invention relates to compositions and applicator devices for providing accurate and localized administration of pharmaceutical compositions containing therapeutic agents to the skin. In particular, the invention relates to compositions which are solid at a temperature of about 250 C or less, and which soften upon continuous contact with the skin of a patient. The present invention allows a user to administer precise doses of a therapeutic agent by highly localized application of the composition to a desired skin region, without contacting surrounding skin regions, or the user's hand. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090264135 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANAGING COMMUNICATIONS POLICY SETTINGS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - The present invention provides a system and method of modifying policy settings in a network having a plurality of subscriber devices. An embodiment includes a plurality of base stations, each capable of wirelessly transmitting across a geographic region and a server. A cell-phone, capable of roaming between regions, is operable to establish a wireless link with the base stations and through the base stations, with the server. The network contains a communication policy determining from which other communication devices a subscriber device can receive voice calls. The communication policy is updated, by the server, based on requests from the subscriber devices. Once a request is received from a subscriber device, the determination whether to update the communication policy can be based on a record of rejections respective to the caller requested to be blocked. Alternatively, the communication policy can be updated according to a trust policy maintained on the server respective to the subscriber device making the request; the trust policy represents the procedure to follow when a request is received from that subscriber device. | 10-22-2009 |

| 20100280986 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TAILORING ACUTE AND CHRONIC VIRAL INFECTION TREATMENTS TO INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF "CURE" FOR A GIVEN SUBJECT - In various embodiments, systems and methods are provided for increasing the likelihood of a sustained virological response or “cure” using a model of patient physiology incorporating a subjects race, gender, age, weight, concomitant medicines and disease state, immune response status, and responsiveness to drug therapies to simultaneously characterize the change in viral burden in the subject in terms of velocity of viral load decline. In an embodiment, once viral load in a subject is below a physical measurement limit, the model can extrapolate the subject's observed viral velocity toward a physiological target shown to be highly correlated with “cure.” In further embodiments, the model can be used for personalized medicine—“the right drug at the right dose for the right treatment duration for the right patient.” Accordingly, the model can provide optimal value for treatment and reducing the high cost of side effects. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090083710 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREATING, COLLABORATING, AND PRESENTING SOFTWARE DEMONSTRATIONS, AND METHODS OF MARKETING OF THE SAME - A software demonstration may be created by capturing screenshots of normal use of an application. The authoring tool may capture a screenshot upon detecting an input. Before capturing the screenshot, the authoring tool may delay for a pre-determined and/or user-configurable period of time to allow the computer display to be refreshed. The authoring tool may provide a cue to inform the user of the timing of the screenshot acquisition. If a screenshot is mistimed, it may be replaced without interrupting the flow of the software demonstration. Screenshots may be linked to one another using clickable hotspots. The hotspots may be used in presenting the software demonstration to provide for a realistic presentation of a software product. The authoring tool may publish the software demonstration in a web accessible format to a network accessible storage location to allow reviewers to comment on the demonstration. An author may access the presentation to review commentary on the demonstration. A software demonstration may be published as a distributable file which may comprise the software demonstration, a player to allow a recipient to view the demonstration, and a version of the software demonstration tool to virally create marketing opportunities for the authoring tool. | 03-26-2009 |
