Title: Oral pharmaceutical compositions containing taxanes and methods of treatment employing the same
Inventor: GUTIERREZ-ROCCA JOSE C
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 1999-06-18
Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration to mammalian subjects comprise a taxane or taxane derivative (e.g., paclitaxel or docetaxel) as active ingredient and a vehicle comprising at least 30 % by weight of a carrier for the taxane, said carrier having an HLB value of at least about 10.  The compositions may also comprise 0 - 70 % of a viscosity-reducing co-solubilizer. The compositions may be incorporated into conventional oral pharmaceutical dosage forms, or can be in the form of a two-part medicament wherein the first part includes the taxane in a solubilizing vehicle and the second part comprises a carrier for the taxane to promote oral absorption.  Methods of treatment of taxane- responsive disease conditions employing the novel compositions are also disclosed, whereby the compositions can be administered alone or in association with an oral bioavailability enhancing agent.

Abstract: A papermaking belt comprises a patterned framework and a reinforcing element.  The papermaking belt may be used as a through air drying belt, a forming wire, a backing wire, a conventional press felt, etc. The papermaking belt has a reinforcing element and a framework extending from the reinforcing element. Intermediate various portions of the framework are deflection conduits. The framework is interrupted and subdivided by synclines. The framework, synclines and deflection conduits respectively impart first, second and third values of intensive properties to regions of the paper made on these portions of the belt. The value of the intensive property of the regions of the paper corresponding to the synclines is intermediate the value of the regions of the paper corresponding to the framework and deflection conduits.  The present invention provides paper having improved softness, yet retains the advantages of paper manufactured with photosensitive resin through air drying belts.

Abstract: A smart card transaction (300) allows a consumer to load value onto a smart card (18) and to make purchases using a smart card with a mobile telephone handset (102) over the telecommunications network (202). For loading, the system includes: a mobile telephone handset (102) including a card reader; a gateway computer (106); a funds issuer computer (204); and an au-thentication computer (206). The mobile telephone handset receives a request from a user to load a value onto the smart card. The handset generates a funds request message which includes the value and sends the funds request message to a funds issuer computer. The funds issuer computer debits an account associated with the user. Next, the handset generates a load request message with a cryptographic signature and sends the load request message to an authentication computer which authenticates the smart card. The handset receives a response message which includes a cryptographic signature and an approval to load. Finally, the handset validates the second cryptographic signature and loads the value onto the smart card.  For payment (500), the system includes a merchant server (410) and a payment server (412). First, the handset (102) sends an order request message to the merchant server computer, and in return receives a purchase instruction message. The handset processes the purchase instruction message locally, and then sends a draw request message to a payment server computer. The payment server computer sends a debit message which includes a cryptographic signature and an approval to debit the smart card (18). Finally, the handset validates the cryptographic signature and debits the smart card.

Abstract: The Corrugated Solar Collector is a solar collector panel and may be categorized as an active solar collector used in a solar heating system. The collector(s) are utilized to absorb the maximum incoming solar energy and to conduct this energy to a transport medium with minimum loss by conduction, convection, re-radiation, and reflection. In this invention, the transport medium flows through a hermetically sealed unit utilizing a series of inlet tubes attached perpendicular to the inlet header. The inlet tubes are placed at various intervals providing an even distribution of transport medium across the corrugated collector plate surface. The corrugated collector plate surface plurality of ridges and groves are perpendicular to the flow of transport medium and parallel to the inlet header and outlet header.     Energy is converted from non-usable energy to usable energy in the primary collector chamber and is transported by the transport medium out of the hermetically sealed unit through a series of outlet tubes attached to the outlet header.
