Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for providing a smart meetup location to a plurality of user devices. In one example, the method may include one or more of receiving a request for a meetup location of a first user device and a second user device, dynamically determining a geographical position of the first user device based on current location information of the first user device, dynamically determining a geographical position of the second user device based on current location information of the second user device, selecting a meetup location from among a plurality of meetup locations based on the dynamically determined geographical positions of the first and second user devices, and outputting the selected meetup location to at least one of the first and second user devices.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for enhancing the bioadhesive properties of polymers used in drug delivery systems. The bioadhesive properties of a polymer are enhanced by incorporating an anhydride oligomer into the polymer to enhance the ability of the polymer to adhere to a tissue surface such as a mucosal membrane. Anhydride oligomers which enhance the bioadhesive properties of a polymer include oligomers synthesized from dicarboxylic acid monomers, preferably those found in Krebs glycolysis cycle, especially fumaric acid. The oligomers can be incorporated within a wide range of polymers including proteins, polysaccharides and synthetic biocompatible polymers. In one embodiment, anhydride oligomers can be incorporated within polymers used to form or coat drug delivery systems, such as microspheres, which contain a drug or diagnostic agent. The oligomers can either be solubilized and blended with the polymer before manufacture or else used as a coating with polymers over existing systems.
