Title: Therapeutic composition for respiratory delivery
Inventor: MARTYN GLEN PATRICK
IPC: A61K45/06
Filed: 2002-12-04
Abstract: A therapeutic composition in solid dose form comprising a mixture of first amorphous or non-crystalline microparticles comprising a bioactive agent and second amorphous non-crystalline microparticles comprising the same or a different bioactive agent, wherein the first microparticles are from 0.1 to 10žm in diameter and the secondmicroparticles are from 10 to 100 žm. Thus the microparticles are delivered via the nasal route to provide deep lung penetration (smaller microparticles) and deposition in the nasal cavity (larger microparticles).

Title: Cellular phone set and incoming-call notification control method used therein
Inventor: NAGATA DAIGO
IPC: H04W68/00
Filed: 2003-01-30
Abstract: An incoming-call notification technique for a cellular phone set is disclosed. When an incoming call is received, a reception electric-field strength level of the incoming call and/or a charge level of a supply battery is detected, and incoming-call notification is performed in accordance with this detection result. The notification may be visual, tactile or audible. When incoming-call notification is to be performed by use of ringing tones, the ringing tones are set in accordance with the reception electric-field strength level of the incoming call and/or the charge level of the supply battery. For example, detection of low battery level will set the volume level of the ring tone to low, or different ring tones or tunes.
