Title: Pharmaceutical compositions having depigmenting and antiphotoageing activity
Inventor: CAPUTO RUGGERO
IPC: A61K8/36
Filed: 1991-02-19
Abstract: The object of the present invention is a product based on a trans-retinoic acid (tretinoin) and azelaic acid combination having depigmentating effect and, more generally, antiphotoageing effect. After clinical and instrumental comparative analysis (clinical and photographic reports and skin mould profilometry), the action on physiological and/or photoinduced skin ageing obtained with the combination of the invention has been compared with the one noticeable after the treatment with azelaic acid or retinoic acid only. Better results were obtained using the azelaic-retinoic combination. The depigmentating action of the combination is superimposable to the one observed by using separately the two active ingredients, but it can be achieved in a surprisingly shorter time (from six to three months).

Title: Phospholipid-coated microcrystals:injectable formulations of water-insoluble drugs
Inventor: HAYNES DUNCAN H
IPC: A61K47/06
Filed: 1991-04-25
Abstract: The novel uses of the phospholipid-coated microcrystal in the delivery of water-soluble biomolecules such as polypeptides and proteins. The proteins are rendered insoluble by complexation and the resulting material forms the solid core of the phospholipid-coated particle. Alternatively, the proteins, bio-molecules or drugs can be entrapped in water-soluble form between the membranous layers of the coated microcrystal. All types of phospholipid microcrystals can incorporate 5 nm to 10 um diameter iron oxide particles to allow for manipulation by magnetic fields. Water-soluble bio-molecules including proteins, peptides, and drugs can be entrapped and retained with long shelf life in liposomes at high concentrations, provided that the phospholipid concentration is greater than 10% (w/v) such that greater than 50% of the system volume is enclosed within phospholipid membranes. Both the phospholipid-coated microcrystal and the phospholipid-coated microdroplet can be used as vaccine adjuvants.

Title: Apparatus and method for routing a transaction based on a requested level of service
Inventor: DAOUD RAJA
IPC: G06F9/46
Filed: 2001-12-20
Granted: 2004-07-14
Abstract: An apparatus and method for routing a transaction to a server based on a requested level of service associated with the transaction. The transaction is preferably packetized and the requested level of service is indicated by a service tag associated therewith as part of the packetized transaction. A load balancer monitors the service level provided by each server in a server pool and generates a server index. The server index at least identifies each server and the corresponding service level. When the transaction is received at the load balancer, the service tag is read to determine the requested level of service. The load balancer selects a server from the server pool using the server index to determine which server is best providing the requested level of service and the transaction is then directed to that server. Alternatively, the load balancer can direct the transaction to a server within a group of servers that best provides the requested level of service.
