Inventor: SKINHOJ ANNETTE
IPC: A61K31/407
Filed: 1998-09-10
Abstract: An oral pharmaceutical modified release multiple-units composition for the administration of a therapeutically and/or prophylactically effective amount of a non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug substance (in the following abbreviated "an NSAID substance") to obtain both a relatively fast or quick onset of the therapeutic effect and the maintenance of a therapeutically active plasma concentration for a relatively long period of time. The modified release multiple-units composition comprises at least two fractions of multiple units such as a first and a second fraction. The first fraction comprises individual units which are designed to quickly release the drug substance and the second fraction comprises individual units which are designed to slowly release the drug substance to enable a delayed and extended release of the drug substance. Typically, the second fraction comprises multiple units which are coated with a sustained release coating designed to release the drug substance in such a manner that the maintenance of a therapeutically active plasma concentration for a relatively long period of time are obtained. By suitable adjustment of the release pattern of the at least first and second fraction a composition is obtained which is adapted to once- or twice-a-day administration.

Title: Radiolucent table extension assembly
Inventor: MUN IN KI
IPC: A61B6/03
Filed: 1998-09-03
Abstract: An elongated patient support table (22) with a horizontal patient support surface has a contoured radiolucent table extension assembly (26, 126) connected thereto in cantilever fashion for supporting the head and upper torso of a patient (27). An outer end of the extension assembly (26, 126) has a reduced with compared to the support table (22) to enable extendable movement of the radiolucent extension assembly (26, 126) into a scanning zone defined by a central opening (112) of a diagnostic unit such as a CT scanner (20). The table extension assembly (26, 126) supports the patient (27) via an inboard radiolucent horseshoe headrest (32, 132) and an outer tool support (54, 122) for holding an outer stabilization device (66, 166) such as a radiolucent skull clamp (74, 174). The combination of the support table (22) with the radiolucent table extension assembly (26, 126) and the inner and outer stabilization devices (32, 132, 66, 166) support the patient (27) in a desired position during successive scanning or surgical procedures. With an imaging system (24) operatively connected to the CT scanner (20), the table extension assembly (26, 126) permits a neurosurgeon to conveniently obtain updated images of the scanned region after performing a stereotactic operative procedure, thereby to immediately and easily determine if any follow-up procedures are necessary before closing up the surgical incision.

Title: Tamper evident plastic closure
Inventor: LONG CHARLES J JR
IPC: B65D51/18
Filed: 1998-09-11
Abstract: The present invention generally provides a threaded tamper-evident closure having an annular hook-shaped flange (16) extending radially inward from the inner surface of the tamper-evident band (15) attached to the bottom edge of the closure body. The hook-shaped flange can be continuous or segmented and forms an upwardly angled surface for engaging the sealing flange (17) on the bottle neck. A  plurality of elevated areas (35) extend upwardly from the tamper-evident band in spaced relation to the bottom edge of the closure body. The frangible elements (14) connecting the tamper-evident band to the lower edge of the closure depending annular flange may be configured to extend from these elevated areas as well as the non-elevated areas of the tamper-evident band. Pairs of cooperating ratchets (38a, 38b) may be used in lieu of or in combination with the elevated bridge areas to reduce the stress placed upon frangible elements and/or during cap application. A second preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a threaded tamper-evident plastic closure having a tamper-evident band containing the above-described features, for use with a tamper-evident push-pull resealable pour spout (20) which is substantially leak proof. The present invention also optionally provides a dust cover (90) which encloses the push-pull pour spout closure when inserted on the container. The dust cover may be optionally provided with a tamper-evident sealing band (91) which remains intact upon initial installation of the dust cover onto the container and which is broken when the dust cover is initially disturbed. When the dust cover is provided with a tamper-evident sealing band, the use of a band on the lower edge of the pour spout closure for providing tamper-evidence may be eliminated.

IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for providing dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) tagging for employing a DHCP server as a non-volatile repository. In one embodiment, the method includes tagging one or more messages from a client computer to the DHCP server with a media access control (MAC) address of a cable modem that is attached to the client computer for storing the MAC address as part of a lease record in the DHCP server. The method further includes receiving a request for the MAC address of the cable modem based on the Internet protocol (IP) address of the client computer from a remote device for transmitting packets to the client computer, obtaining the MAC address of the cable modem corresponding to the IP address of the client computer from the DHCP server, and transmitting the MAC address to the remote device. Consequently, the client computer's traffic through the remote device is directed to the client computer's cable modem.
