20110028431ORAL MUCOADHESIVE DOSAGE FORM - A direct compression formulation suitable for preparing buccal and/or sublingual and dosage forms incorporates a combination of a non-ionic polymeric solubility enhancer, a mucoadhesive polymer, a filler, a disintegrant, and a pharmaceutically active agent. Cannabinoid-cyclodextrin complexes exhibiting an improved property selected from improved stability, higher product yield and improved product uniformity may be obtained by complexing the cannabinoid with the cyclodextrin in a liquid medium containing an antioxidant. To enhance stability, product yield and/or product uniformity, complexing may be done while the liquid medium is in contact with an atmosphere having a very low oxygen content. The resulting complexes may be combined with decomplexing agents and/or dispersed in a matrix material comprised of a hydrogel-forming polymer to provide enhanced absorption of the cannabinoid through oral mucosa and reduced ingestion of the cannabinoid as compared with known commercially available cannabinoid-containing oral dosage forms.02-03-2011

20090177567MOBILE APPLICATION MONITORING SYSTEM - A method and system to test, monitor, and share revenue associated with third-party software applications operating on mobile devices over a network operator's wireless network. An application may be tested by the mobile application monitoring system to simulate the expected load of the application on a mobile device and the wireless network utilized by the mobile device, and to determine any services utilized by the application. Based on the simulation, the system determines a compensation arrangement under which revenue associated with the application will be shared between the network operator and the application provider. In some embodiments, the compensation arrangement is determined from a variable reward table. Revenue is shared inversely with an application's impact on customers and on the network operator.07-09-2009
