Title: Modified retinoid compounds and their uses
Inventor: DELUCA HECTOR F
IPC: A61K8/67
Filed: 2004-01-16
Abstract: A method of minimizing or reducing the toxicity of a retinoid having a free carboxyl group and the resulting modified retinoids are described. The method comprises the step of esterifying the carboxyl group of the retinoid with a highly sterically hindered compound, which is preferably a secondary or tertiary alcohol. The resulting retinoid esters are rendered much less toxic than the starting or parent retinoid. This process provides a retinoid ester analog of reduced toxicity so that it may be administered orally with minimal side effects and with a much greater therapeutic window. The modified retinoid compounds are useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of all diseases and disorders where retinoid compounds have been shown effective.

IPC: H04L29/02
Filed: 2005-08-19
Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for reliable messaging using clocks with synchronized rates. Embodiments of the present invention insure at-most-once delivery of messages. A source and a destinati on utilize clocks with synchronized rates. Messages are assigned Time-To-Live ("TTL") values such that state information is updated the source and removed at the destination when a corresponding message timer based on a TTL value expires. Accordingly, resources consumed to maintain state information at the destination can be freed up in a shorter period of time. The source can retransmit state information to the message destination if relevant state information has been removed. Message processor instance IDs insure at - most-once delivery when a message destination suffers an involuntary memory loss. Embodiments of the present invention can also be used for exactly-once-delivery, for exampl e, when TTL values are infinite and instance IDs are not used.

Title: A method and apparatus for producing a higher power output from a light beam
Inventor: CLAY JOSEPH M
IPC: A23L13/40
Filed: 2004-03-19
Abstract: A method is provided for utilizing radiation pressure provided by a light wave to generate mechanical work. First, a containment chamber is provided for containing propagation of a light wave therein. Then, a movable reflective mirror having a reflective surface is positioned in the containment chamber. A  light wave is then introduced into the containment chamber and directed in the direction of the reflective surface.
