20080312956 | Method for proxy development, maintenance and upgrading of pharmaceutical formulary and software tool therefor - A method of operating a formulary and software therefore comprising a unique formulary maintenance tool are disclosed which allows for much greater participation of a PBM In the maintenance and upgrading of formularies. The method and software allow the PBM to create a wide range of useful and efficient proxies (“top down” operation) and not wait for organizations such as CMS or clients to define specific and limited drugs (“bottom up” operation). The system retains the ability to incorporate CMS- and client-defined proxies but also allows the PBM to create such proxies on its own from competent source information. It also includes sorting, navigation, comparison and communication capabilities which will result in significantly more efficient claim adjudication and system maintenance. | 12-18-2008 |

20100015216 | METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR TREATING ACNE - Compositions and methods for the treatment of acne are based upon a first therapeutic agent which is one or more members selected from the group consisting of: salicylic acid, azelaic acid, adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotics; and a second therapeutic agent which comprises a taurine species. The two agents may be present in a single preparation and applied to the skin simultaneously, or they may be present in two separate preparations and applied to the skin sequentially. The taurine species may comprise free taurine, taurine salts, taurine esters, taurine complexes, taurine conjugates and taurine precursors either singly or in combination. The composition may include a liposomal carrier. Further disclosed are specific preparations and methods used for the treatment of acne. | 01-21-2010 |
20100239655 | TAURINE-BASED COMPOSITIONS AND THERAPEUTIC METHODS - Taurine and derivatives thereof may be used in conjunction with agents that activate or up-regulate the Taurine Transporter so as to enhance hydration of the skin and repair the skin bather, prevent apoptosis and oxidative damage in the skin, and heal or prevent photo-induced skin damage. The presence of biogenic taurine or taurine derivatives in tissues and/or body fluids can be used as a biomarker for tissue trauma. Detection and/or quantification of such biogenic taurine or derivatives form the basis for an assay for determining the presence and/or extent of tissue damage. | 09-23-2010 |

20090200373 | System and Method for Implementing an Automated Vault Machine - A system and method for remotely managing a security area such as a safe deposit box repository providing ready access by a community of users includes one or more identity-confirmation steps, followed by granting permission to enter a first secure area. Within the first secure area, further identity-confirmation steps arc performed before access to a second secure area is remotely authorized. Inside the second secure area, the user unlocks one mechanism which secures his specific safe deposit box and, if implemented in the particular vault, a second portion is remotely unlocked, permitting the user access to his box. Egress involves replacing the user's safe deposit box into the assigned location, then exiting to the first secure area. After the door between the second and first secure areas closes, exit from the first secure area is permitted. Identity-confirmation steps may include cards, PINs, biometric tests, visual identification, or other suitable steps. | 08-13-2009 |

20140270928 | Pin Mechanism - A pin release mechanism which includes a release pin, a bias spring, a spring guide, a moveable ball retainer and a solenoid assembly. The release pin is axially movable from a first to a second position. The bias spring is connected to the release pin and exerts a force biasing the release pin towards the second position. The spring guide receives the bias spring interacts with ball bearings. The moveable ball retainer is connected to the bias spring and has a locked position in which ball bearings radially interfere with the movement of the release pin and prevents movement of the release pin from the first to the second position by engaging the release pin, and an unlocked position in which the ball bearings may move radially, disengaging the release pin, and engaging the ball retainer, to allow the release pin to move from the first towards the second position. | 09-18-2014 |
