Abstract: A concentrated inhalable formulation of an antibiotic drug such as ciprofloxacin is disclosed. The antibiotic is formulated with sodium acetate and liposome which incorporate antibiotic. The formulation is aerosolized and inhaled for treatment of respiratory tract infections and other medical conditions.

Abstract: A vehicle structural or semi-structural component assembly or crash sensor assembly includes a body, wherein a first portion of the body comprises a polymer composite material and a sensor mount portion of the body is connected to the first portion; and a sensor directly attached to the sensor mount portion. The sensor mount portion comprises a polymer composite material and a flexible reinforcement material over-molded within the polymer composite material. A method for enabling tunable deceleration characteristics in a vehicle structural or semi-structural component assembly includes forming a structural or semi-structural component for a vehicle from a polymer composite material; over-molding a flexible reinforcement material within the polymer composite material at one or more locations along the component; and attaching a sensor directly to at least one of the one or more locations.

Abstract: A system for managing electronic records comprises one or more memories comprising one or more databases, the databases configured to store a plurality of electronic records; one or more user interfaces configured to receive electronic records and criteria to associate the electronic records to one or more enterprise functions, technology platforms, and enterprise rules, and receive a query for one or more of the one or more electronic records, enterprise functions, technology platforms, and enterprise rules; and one or more processors configured to associate, according to the received criteria, the one or more electronic records with the one or more enterprise functions, technology platforms, and enterprise rules, and determine one or more electronic records, enterprise functions, technology platforms, and enterprise rules responsive to the received query.

Abstract: Methods of treatment of NTM lung infections using formulations of liposomal ciprofloxacin. Specific liposome formulations and delivery of such for treatment of respiratory tract infections and other medical conditions, and devices and formulations used in connection with such are described.

Abstract: A reinforcing fiber is provided comprising a carbon fiber having a length and outer and inner surfaces defining a wall. The wall has a first cross section which defines an outer diameter and an inner diameter and a wall thickness. The wall thickness of the cylindrical carbon fiber tube is greater than or equal to 2 um.

Abstract: A drug-delivery system is described which can serve as a platform for the topical delivery of a wide variety of therapeutic agents to the skin. Specifically, a topical external analgesic gel contains ketoprofen, a skin penetration enhancer/cosolvent, a thickening agent and a base to adjust pH. The formulation uses a relatively small number of safe components and is easy to prepare with a high yield of finished product. The chemical stability of ketoprofen in the gel and the physical stability of the gel itself ensure a satisfactory shelf-life for the product. The gel is aesthetically pleasing (i.e., easy water-washability, non-irritating to skin, non-staining of clothing, etc.) and has proven to provide rapid relief of musculoskeletal pain, thereby helping to ensure patient compliance.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a molding method for producing a molded article is provided. The method may include introducing polymer and fiber separately into an extruder in a first ratio to produce a first extruded material having a first fiber content and in a second ratio to produce a second extruded material having a second fiber content different from the first fiber content. The method may further include filling a first region of a mold with the first extruded material and a second region of the mold with the second extruded material. The extruded material may be formed as blanks for use in compression molding or may be introduced into an injection chamber for use in injection molding. The method may be used to form molded articles having a plurality of regions having different fiber contents.

Abstract: A surface treatment method, machine, and system are disclosed for treating the surface of a substrate by providing a plasma jet generator that directs plasma through a gaseous composition to decompose the gaseous composition into functional groups. A carbon fiber substrate is disclosed that is treated by a plasma jet generator that is directed toward the surface through steam. The plasma jet generator bombards a carbon fiber surface with high energy ions. Carbon-to-carbon chains in the carbon fiber partially break and hydroxide ions are bonded to fractures in the carbon-to-carbon chains. The treatment bonds new hydroxide functional groups to the carbon fiber surface.

Abstract: Methods for formulating immediate and sustained release anti-infectives and delivery of such for treatment of respiratory tract infections and other medical conditions, and devices and formulations used in connection with such are described.

Abstract: An environmentally safe rodent control composition for exterminating rodents such as mice and rats without the use of chemicals. The rodent control composition generally includes an attractant base, a digestive upset catalyst such as oleander leaves, a coma catalyst such as lily flowers, a paralysis catalyst such as water hemlock roots and a cardiac arrest catalyst such as lily of valley berries. The attractant base is generally comprised of materials which attract a rodent to the present invention and encourage a rodent to ingest the same. The attractant base may be comprised of such materials as peanut butter, mixed bird seed, mixed grains and the like. A rodent will generally die within 12-36 hours after ingestion of the present composition, which does not include any chemicals or additives which are damaging to the environment.

Abstract: A financial services enterprise may provide for integrating a framework application and a task database. A flat file is extracted from a framework application, wherein the flat file is associated with a task and the task is associated with a financial services project. The flat file is manipulated to form a relational database data structure associated with the task. The relational database data structure is communicated to a management module, and the management module stores the relational database data structure in the task database to facilitate modeling the financial services project associated with a financial services enterprise.
