Abstract: A system and method, in particular computer implemented method for determining a perturbation for attacking and/or validating an association tracker. The method includes providing digital image data that includes an object, determining with the digital image data a first feature that characterizes the object, providing in particular from a storage a second feature that characterizes a tracked object, determining the perturbation depending on a measure of a similarity between the first feature and the second feature.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical liquid composition, wherein said liquid composition comprises at least one cooling agent comprising of a phenyl ring containing a polar side group at least one viscosity enhancing agent and at least one surfactant. The invention also relates to a method to produce such a pharmaceutical composition as well as a method of alleviating a symptom selected from the group consisting of cough, nasal congestion and sore throat in a subject comprising administering the composition according to any of preceding claims.

Abstract: Compositions useful in the treatment of cough and cold symptoms, including but not limited to, cough, nasal congestion and sore throat, are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a drug eluting surgical screw and a method for manufacturing a drug eluting surgical screw. The drug eluting surgical screw may include a shaft having a threaded portion, a head having a drive recess disposed at a proximal end of the shaft, the drive recess having a reservoir region and a driver engagement region, and at least one or more drug eluting components disposed within the reservoir region of the drive recess in a manner that does not substantially impair a connection between a driver and the surgical screw when the driver is operably disposed within the driver engagement region, each of the at least one or more drug eluting components including a carrier matrix and a therapeutic agent, the therapeutic agent being at least 20 wt % of the drug eluting component prior to any implantation of the drug eluting surgical screw.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for making a dosage form comprising at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient, the method comprising the steps of (i) providing a shape of the dosage form comprising at least two powder layers, wherein the first powder layer comprises a surface stabilizing agent and the second powder layer comprises at least one activator and the pharmaceutically active ingredient, wherein the activator has a Q value of less than 75; (ii) applying a radiofrequency energy for a sufficient period of time to the shape of step (i); and (iii) applying heat for a sufficient period of time to the shape of step (i).

Abstract: Improved techniques to create, browse, rate and/or purchase media asset groups are disclosed. Media assets groups can be created by various users and published to a digital assets manager. Thereafter, the media assets groups can be finalized and made available for on-line purchase. Once the media asset groups are made available for on-line purchase, users can browse, rate and/or purchase the media asset groups at an on-line media store. One example of a media asset group (group of media items) is known as a playlist, which can pertain to a group of audio tracks.
