Filed: 1995-08-09
Abstract: It has been discovered that block copolymers comprising at least two polymer blocks containing a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon monomer contributed units and at least one polymer block conjugated dime monomer contributed units exhibit desirable adhesive properties. The vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon content [S] of the instant block copolymers is 25% to 60% by weight and the vinyl content of the conjugated dime portion [V] is 30 % to 70 % . The relationship between the vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon content [S] and the vinyl content of the conjugated diene portion [V] satisfies the formula: 75 <= [S] + [V] <= 10Q.  According to the instant invention, adhesive compositions may be prepared which contain about 10% to about 50% of the block copolymers, about 20% to about 80% of a compatible tackifying resin; about 10% to about 40% of a platicizing oil; about 0.2% to about 2.5% of various stabilizers and 0% to about 10% of a compatible wax.

Title: Determination of concentration by affinity titration and competitive displacement in drug delivery
Inventor: KAUVAR LAWRENCE M
IPC: G01N33/531
Filed: 1994-03-30
Abstract: A method for determining the amount of analyte in a sample utilizes a series of test regions with systematically varied, preferably monotonically increasing, affinity for a specific binding partner for an analyte or for the analyte itself. By determining the portion of test regions which are capable of binding specific binding partner in competition with the analyte in the sample, or which bind the analyte, the amount of analyte may be estimated.  Thus, titration of affinity replaces titration of concentration, allowing assays to be performed without the need for serial dilution steps.  Alternatively, advantage is taken of competition of various ligands for components of complexes to regulate the release of desired components from the complexes.  In one embodiment, clearance of small moieties can be delayed by combining them with size-enhancing agents which can be released or dissociated on cue by action of a releasing agent.  In other embodiments, a target itself is a successful competitor in releasing the active form of the moiety from the complex.
