Title: Solubility parameter based drug delivery system and method for altering drug saturation concentration.
Inventor: MIRANDA JESUS
IPC: A61L15/26
Filed: 1992-06-22
Abstract: The method of adjusting the saturation concentration of a drug in a transdermal composition for application to the dermis, which comprises mixing polymers having differing solubility parameters, so as to modulate the delivery of the drug. This results in the ability to achieve a predetermined permeation rate of the drug into and through the dermis. In one embodiment, a dermal composition of the present invention comprises a drug, an acrylate polymer, and a polysiloxane. The dermal compositions can be produced by a variety of methods known in the preparation of drug-containing adhesive preparations, including the mixing of the polymers, drug, and additional ingredients in solution, followed by removal of the processing solvents. The method and composition of this invention permit selectable loading of the drug into the dermal formulation and adjustment of the delivery rate of the drug from the composition through the dermis, while maintaining acceptable shear, tack, and peel adhesive properties.

Patent EP-0664886-A4 (EP)
Title: Alloantigen enhancement assay.
Inventor: POULETTY PHILIPPE
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 1993-10-07
Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for the determination of cross-reactive alleles, where there is no antibody which will specifically distinguish between the two alleles. Particularly, the method employs an antibody which binds to the two alleles bound to a surface, an antibody specific for one of the alleles, a labeled conjugate which binds to a consensus sequence present in both alleles and positive and negative controls. By having an enhanced value where the interfering allele is present as compared to a value for the target allele, one can distinguish between the various alternatives involving the presence or absence of one or both alleles.

Title: Sport sunglasses resistant to fogging
Inventor: MAGE JEROME J M
IPC: A61F9/02
Filed: 1996-11-27
Abstract: Protective eyeglasses (e.g., sunglasses) for use in high-speed outdoor sports activities, the lenses thereof being resistant to condensation, is achieved by air circulation created by venturi effects. The glasses comprise a frame front having middle portions over the wearer's eyes which support protective lenses, and having endpiece portions near the wearer's temples, the outboard edges of which attach temples which hold the glasses in place. A chamber is defined by the volume between the lenses and the wearer's face, and gaps are defined by the distance between the middle portions of the frame front and the wearer's face. Apertures in each of the endpiece portions of the frame front define an entrance of a ventilation channel for air flow through the frame front, adjacent to the respective chamber. Venturi forces are created within the ventilation channels to facilitate circulation of air. Improved ventilation, and the reduction or elimination of fogging on the lenses, is accomplished by low-cost and lightweight glasses.
