TouchConsole interface for printing simulators was introduced at the {{TRADE SHOW}} trade show in {{CITY}}. This technology has made it possible for Sinapse to provide its users with the experience of press operation without the costs and constraints of a real press console. The TouchConsole functions in the same way as a real press — the operator lays the {{EQUIPMENT}} or signature on to the console above the corresponding ink keys, and then makes adjustments. As the ink keys are adjusted on the TouchConsole, the changes are shown in the {{OUTPUT}} displayed just above them. A major {{BENEFIT}} is that the same TouchConsole hardware can be used to run different simulators. Interfaces are currently available for {{SIMULATOR}} ({{EQUIPMENT}}) and {{SIMULATOR}} ({{EQUIPMENT}}).

In particular, the occurrence of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) increased from 239 cases per million population in 1994 to about 1300 cases per million population in 2001.

The aim of this study was to assess the pharmacoeconomic consequences of amlodipine besylate therapy administered in patients at high risk of restenosis after PTCA. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing therapy with amlodipine besylate added to standard care versus standard care alone. Information on clinical outcomes was drawn from the Coronary Angioplasty Amlodipine Restenosis Study ({{STUDY}}). Medical costs were estimated with reference to drug therapy and hospitalizations for coronary events and revascularization procedures. The study was conducted from the perspective of the Italian third party payer ({{ORGANIZATION}}). The analysis was applied to a time horizon of 4 months. Amlodipine besylate resulted less expensive and more effective than standard care. It reduced mortality, morbidity for coronary reasons and the need of revascularization procedures.

Text: {{ORGANIZATION}}And{{ORGANIZATION}}StillFightingOverTheTerm'AppStore'

Amazon and Apple have been unable to resolve their dispute over the term “{{TRADEMARK}}.” As a result, an {{DATE}} trial is looming, according to {{ORGANIZATION}}. At issue is Amazon’s use of the term “AppStore” to describe the place the online retailer sells {{PRODUCT}} apps. Apple believes that this term too closely matches that of “App Store.”
Apple filed for the {{GEOPOLITICAL ENTITY}} trademark for “App Store” in 2008. For their part, Amazon is arguing that “app store” is a generic term, “saying that it only signifies a digital repository for apps and doesn't specifically call Apple to mind." {{ORGANIZATION}} also believes that the “app store” phrase is generic and shouldn’t be trademarked. In {{DATE}}, a judge ordered Amazon and Apple to resolve their conflict out of court. However, those talks have yet to bear fruit. The discussions have included a 45-minute phone call on {{DATE}}, and an all-day meeting on {{DATE}}. Amazon's AppStore for Android launched in March 2011, The store began selling {{PRODUCT}} apps at the end of that same year.

Text: AmazonAndAppleStillFightingOverTheTerm'AppStore'

Amazon and Apple have been unable to resolve their dispute over the term “App Store.” As a result, an August 19 trial is looming, according to AppleInsider. At issue is Amazon’s use of the term “AppStore” to describe the place the online retailer sells Android apps. Apple believes that this term too closely matches that of “App Store.”
Apple filed for the U.S. trademark for “App Store” in 2008. For their part, Amazon is arguing that “app store” is a generic term, “saying that it only signifies a digital repository for apps and doesn't specifically call Apple to mind." Microsoft also believes that the “app store” phrase is generic and shouldn’t be trademarked. In January, a judge ordered Amazon and Apple to resolve their conflict out of court. However, those talks have yet to bear fruit. The discussions have included a 45-minute phone call on June 14, and an all-day meeting on May 1.

Text: If the condition in {{ORGANIZATION}}'s release tied to {{ORGANIZATION}}'s settlement is "simply
unacceptable" to ONeOk, then there is no deal unless we simultaneously
receive the {{CURRENCY}} from KN and OneOk and simultaneously sign the agreements. We
will need to set up a closing type of event (not necessarily in one city,
over the phone and fax is ok) and hold each other hostage until all the paper
is signed and wire transfers received. Just in case she's curious, my
position is we don't sign the release until the wire transfer is in our
bank. They can take the risk of the deal falling apart at the last minute--I
don't think we should. DF
