Abstract: A method for applying a topical anesthetic to an area of
skin comprising the steps of a) incorporating an anesthetic in a
lipophilic base into a volatile solvent, to form a homogeneous
solution; b) applying the homogeneous solution into the area of
skin to be treated; and c) evaporating the volatile solvent from
the homogeneous solution; wherein the volatile solvent is present
in the formulation in amounts between 40 - 80%; and wherein said
topical anesthetic rapidly penetrates the skin surface at said
skin, leaving a cooling sensation on the skin. The topical
anesthetic formulation contains a penetrating enhancer carrier
that markedly enhances the delivery of the anesthetic across
human skin without altering the acceptable delivery rate of the
anesthetic that needs to be delivered through the skin and leaves
a cooling sensation on the skin.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method and apparatus for
allocating data to subchannels used for ADSL transmission over a
communication link which supports further system transmissions.
An expected interference impact from the further system
transmissions is estimated for the ADSL subchannels. Signal-to-noise
ratios (SNRs) for the subchannels are determined for bit
loading by an estimator (220). In one embodiment, actual noise
associated with the communication link is used at initialization
to determine a SNR which is subsequently modified by an
adjusting unit (205) prior to bit loading responsive to the
estimated interference impact.
Prior to transmitting, the data is allocated to the subchannels
by a bit loader (210) based on respective SNRs modified
responsive the estimated interference impact.

Abstract: A SMA actuator having rigid members and SMA wires, in which improved temperature control of the SMA wires of the actuator is provided by a heat sink, which may be the rigid members themselves, in close proximity to at least a central portion of the wires. Optionally, the heat sink is sized and placed such that the end portions of the wires where they are attached to the rigid members are not in close proximity to the heat sink. Where the heat sink is external, it optionally has a cooling element that acts passively as a heat sink during the heating cycle of the actuator and that acts as an active cooling element during the cooling cycle of the actuator. An SMA actuator having a desired contraction limit and a power supply circuit has a switch in the power supply circuit that is normally closed when the actuator is contracted to less than the desired contraction limit and is opened by the actuator reaching the desired contraction limit. This improved temperature control provides greater cooling of the SMA wires for a faster response and an extended working life of the actuator.
