20130315991 | GASTRO-RETENTIVE DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLED DRUG RELEASE IN THE STOMACH AND INTO THE UPPER INTESTINES - A gastro-retentive drug delivery system for controlled release of drugs in the stomach or upper gastro-intestinal track provides one or more polymers that hydrate and swell to immobilize the drug in situ in a protective, degradable envelope or cocoon. In one embodiment, oppositely charged polyelectroytes are admixed with the drug and filled in a capsule having a dissolution profile in stomach acid at body temperature. The dissolution profile of the capsule promotes formation of a poyelectrolyte gel complex. The gel complex increases retention time of the drug and reduces dosing requirements, increases absorption, reduces dose-dependent side effects, and provides reproducible, time-controlled drug residence in the GI tract. | 11-28-2013 |

20090172117 | METHODS FOR USING MESSAGE QUEUING TELEMETRY TRANSPORT FOR SENSOR NETWORKS TO SUPPORT SLEEPING DEVICES - Methods support a sleep mode for an embedded device. Embedded devices like sensors and actuators used in wireless sensor networks have a limited power supply. To conserve energy and thus increase the lifetime of these devices, the devices should be put into a stand-by mode (also called sleep-mode) when they are not used. These methods support the sleep mode at a higher level than the MAC layer, thus avoiding the problems of prior art approaches. Methods are exemplarily described for the case of the message queuing telemetry transport protocol for sensor networks. They can easily be adapted to other protocols. | 07-02-2009 |
