Title: Handheld electronic device and associated method enabling spell checking in a text disambiguation environment
Inventor: FUX VADIM
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2008-09-24
Abstract: An improved handheld electronic device and associated method enable spell checking in a reduced keyboard and disambiguation environment. The improved spell checking routine converts a misspelled word into a canonical version thereof and receives from a dictionary proposed letter for possible acceptance by the spell checking routine.  The spell checking routine advantageously maintains states of various spell check algorithms in order to ensure that no letter is accepted that would require an edit distance of more than one from the misspelled word. The improved spell checking routine advantageously reduces unnecessary processor operation by reducing the extent to which certain portions of the dictionary are searched multiple times during a spell checking operation.

Abstract: A microchannel chip having a microchannel is manufactured without using an original form such as a mold. The microchannel chip is composed of at least an upper substrate and a lower substrate, and the upper substrate is bonded with the lower substrate. In the microchannel chip, one or more nonadhering thin film layers are formed on the adhering surface side of at least one substrate, and the both ends of the nonadhering thin film layer are connected to a port opened toward atmosphere. When a positive pressure is applied from one port, a nonadhering thin film portion bulges and a space which can function as a microchannel is generated. As a result, liquid and/or air can be transferred from one port to the other.

Title: Methods and compositions for increasing the safety and efficacy of albumin-binding drugs
Inventor: CARTER DANIEL C
IPC: A61K31/198
Filed: 2006-03-02
Abstract: A method is provided for increasing the safety and efficacy of albumin- binding drugs such as those used as anti-cancer, anti-infective, or anti-hypertensive drugs, or for numerous other conditions. In the preferred method, the invention modulates those drugs which bind at the IB site on human serum albumin by co-administering a compound which is highly tolerable to humans and which can bind competitively with those albumin-binding drugs at the IB binding site so as to increase the safety and efficacy of the drug. The invention is advantageous in that by administering the highly tolerable compound in a sufficient amount to compete with the targeted drug, the latter can be administered at a much lower dosage while maintaining or exceeding its potency. Compositions containing the combination of highly tolerable compound and albumin-bind drugs are also disclosed.
