Abstract: Methods and apparatus for coating a medical device are provided. In one embodiment, the method for preparing a substantially uniform coated medical device includes (1) preparing a coating solution comprising a solvent, a therapeutic agent, and an additive; (2) loading a metering dispenser with the coating solution; (3) rotating the medical device about the longitudinal axis of the device and/or moving the medical device along the longitudinal or transverse axis of the device; (4) dispensing the coating solution from the metering dispenser onto a surface of the medical device and flowing the coating solution on the surface of the medical device while the medical device is rotating and/or linearly moving; and (5) evaporating the solvent, forming a substantially uniform coating layer on the medical device.

Abstract: A system including computer memory means containing a roster of players constituting a user's team in a fantasy sports contest. Electronically accessing actual real-time player team transactions data for at least each of the players constituted as being on the user's team in the fantasy sports contest. Enabling a user to decide whether a player is on the user's team based upon the electronically accessed actual real-time player team transactions and electronically updating the player roster for the user's team based upon a user decision made in the enabling step.
