Abstract: The present invention relates to dihydro-cyclopenta-isoquinoline derivatives of formula (I): processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in treating disorders caused by IgE (such as allergic responses, non-allergic mast cell responses or certain autoimmune responses), and in particular, disorders caused by the interaction of IgE with the Fc?RI receptor.

Abstract: An implantable medical device having at least one compliant retention member configured not only to resist migration of the device with respect to its deployment site, but also to conform to anatomical forces applied thereto. The retention member may present a convex tissue-contacting surface to tissue at the deployment site and to which anatomical forces may be applied. The retention member may be compressible upon application of radially-inwardly directed anatomical forces thereto, but is sized, shaped, configured, and/or dimensioned to withstand forces tending to cause migration of the implantable medical device even when being compressed radially-inwardly. As such, the implantable medical device withstands forces applied thereto without building up internal stresses which may result in material fatigue.

Abstract: This invention is a system and method for verifying a sender of messages on a mobile network. Software on a cloud messaging service generates a public/private key pair. The private key is securely retained in a cloud wallet service and is accessible to a messaging cloud service (the trusted sender). The public key is shared with a subscriber device that receives messages from the messaging cloud service. The cloud messaging service receives an inbound message for the subscriber device from a trusted enterprise application via a secure connection. The cloud messaging service signs a special header to the message with its private key. When the message is received by the subscriber device, the public key resident on the device verifies the message header signed with the public key of the cloud messaging service thereby verifying the sender.
