Abstract: A composition to induce analgesia includes a plurality of particles, each particle of the plurality having 40-60 wt % amino amide anesthetic or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof and 60-40 wt % PLGA polymer including 48:52 to 52:48 molar ratio D,L lactide:glycolide and an inherent viscosity of about 0.16 to 0.24 dL/g at 0.1% w/v in chloroform at 25° C. Each particle includes a non-spherical shape less than 100 ???? in a broadest dimension, and having a volume of about 13,500 cubic micrometers. The amino amide anesthetic is crystalline and includes 50-70% crystalline form I and 30-50% crystalline form II.

Abstract: Provided is a private and secure network that uses an authentication mechanism with a uniquely assigned private IP address and network credentials issued as part of a VPN certificate exchange. A first layer of authentication establishes a secure tunnel between user and VPN server, and a second layer of authentication connects that secure tunnel to the web site or resource, without passing the VPN certificate. Once authenticated, interaction between website or resource and user are automatically monitored for abnormal or malicious behavior and, if required, automatic verification and authentication response is generated.

Abstract: A user device may access a remote conference management application and setup a conference customized for the user. For example, one method of operation may include transmitting a notification to a user device of an upcoming scheduled meeting time and receiving a confirmation that the scheduled meeting is a valid meeting time. The method may also include receiving at least one instruction from the user device regarding the meeting time, loading a data file sequence stored in a user account, and transmitting the data file sequence to a presentation management device.

Abstract: A user device may access a remote conference management application and setup a conference customized for the user. For example, a number of presentation data files may be received from a user device and a user account may be authenticated which is associated with the user device. The presentation data files may be stored as a unique presentation and a scheduled presentation time may also be setup and stored for execution at a later time, and a notification may be transmitted to the user device to confirm that presentation time.

Abstract: A system to automatically classify types of IP addresses associated with a user. Information, such as user names, machine information, IP address, etc., may be obtained from logs. For each user or host in the logs, home IP addresses are identified from IP addresses where the user or host shows a predetermined level of activity. Travel IP addresses are identified, which are IP addresses at locations greater than a predetermined distance from the home IP addresses, as determined from geolocation data. A pattern analysis may be performed to determine which of the home IP addresses are work IP addresses associated with the user or host. The system may thus provide a classification of a user's or host's associated IP addresses as being one of travel, home, and work IP addresses. From this classification, mobility patterns may be derived, as well as applications to enhance security, advertising, search and network management.

Abstract: A computer-based method and apparatus for trading waste capacity and, other services/goods associated with the waste industry. The computer-based method and apparatus is designed for receipt of electronically listing, buying, selling, trading and bartering all components of the waste industry with potential end users, providers, and investors. The activities involved in the computer-based method is the buying and selling of disposal space in landfills, incinerators, transfer facilities, train car transport, etc. for either concurrent use or to be used or sold at a later time. The method provides a Total Cost Estimator that provides real time information of the actual cost associated with a particular service so as to allow for optimization of profits.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for the viewing and acquisition of images of a document such as a book, including the automated and reliable turning of pages of the document, while supporting it in a manner to facilitate viewing or imaging of the facing pages.

Abstract: A method of playing a game is provided, including selecting a player from a group of players to provide at least one clue as to the identity of an item, selecting a clue type in which the player will provide the at least one clue as to the identity of the item, selecting another player from the group of players to guess the identity of the item based on the at least one clue provided by the player, and repeating the steps of selecting a clue type and selecting another player if the another player does not guess the identity of the item. A game apparatus is also provided, having a controller programmed to perform the method of playing a game.

Abstract: A portable, modular blood analyzer capable of analyzing multiple blood values in an inexpensive, relatively simple, easy-to-use and easy-to-maintain instrument. The invention comprises a three-part system including an analyzer body, calibrant cartridge, and sensor cartridge. A modular calibrant cartridge is insertable into the analyzer body, and contains all necessary calibrant fluids as well as a waste container. A modular sensor cartridge having integral pump tubing plugs into the analyzer body for easy removal and replacement of the sensor elements. The analyzer body internally has modular units including an electronics module, a display module, and a fluidics/printer module. The analyzer uses a single pump head to aspirate blood only to a sensor array within the sensor cartridge.
