Title: Managing attempts to initiate authentication of electronic commerce card transactions
Inventor: DEVINE SUE
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2004-10-21
Abstract: To encourage widespread implementation of an electronic commerce card authentication system by the numerous different card issuers and merchants, the card association assigns liability for fraudulent transaction based upon a party's compliance with the authentication system. To enable this feature, an embodiment of the card processing system includes the ability to track and record attempts by merchants to initiate authentications, even in circumstances where the card issuer does not support authentication or can not authenticate the card information its receives. A directory server determines whether a card account is capable of being authenticated. If the card issuer cannot authenticate the card account, the directory server instructs the merchant system to attempt authentication with an alternate access control server. The alternate access control server is adapted to communicate an authentication response message with the merchant system indicating that the merchant system attempted an authentication.

IPC: A61M5/145
Filed: 2004-12-09
Abstract: The filling of a syringe can be performed at a faster rate using a filling sequence which expels air from the fill tube before filling the syringe. A  similar method is used when changing contrast containers during a filling sequence to ensure that all the air is expelled from the fill tube before filling resumes with the new contrast container.

Title: Method of preventing proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium by retinoic acid receptor agonists
Inventor: WHEELER LARRY A
IPC: A61K31/593
Filed: 1996-01-31
Abstract: Proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium following surgery or trauma or resulting in ocular diseases associated with choroidal neovascularization, such as age related macular degeneration and histoplasmosis syndrome, is prevented by contacting retinal pigment epithelium cells with a therapeutic amount of a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist, preferably one with specific activity for retinoic acid receptors. Preferably the RAR agonist is also a potent antagonist of AP1-dependent gene expression. Alternatively, the proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium is ameliorated with a therapeutic amount of an AP-1 antagonist, alone or in combination with an RAR agonist. The drug can be administered by bolus injection into the vitreous cavity using a dosage from about 50 to 150 µg, or by slow release from liposomes or an oil tamponade injected into the vitreous cavity.      Formulations for preventing proliferation of retinal pigment epithelium are also provided.
