Abstract: The present invention is directed to crosslinked cation exchange polymers comprising a fluoro group and an acid group, pharmaceutical compositions of these polymers, compositions of a linear polyol and a salt of such polymer. Crosslinked cation exchange polymers having beneficial physical properties, including combinations of particle size, particle shape, particle size distribution, viscosity, yield stress, compressibility, surface morphology, and/or swelling ratio are also described. These polymers and compositions are useful to bind potassium in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract: A tilt mechanism for a display device support apparatus including a base member and a tilt head. The base member includes a bearing portion, a mounting portion, and a fastener recess. The tilt head includes an attachment portion and a sliding portion. The attachment portion is configured to couple the tilt head to a mounting plate, and the sliding portion engages the bearing portion. A friction member engages the tilt head and applies a friction force to the tilt head. A mounting fastener extends through a portion of the base and is connected to the friction member. The mounting fastener has a head that is positioned in the recess. The mounting fastener sets the amount of friction force on the tilt head.

Abstract: A tablet support includes a backing member and a faceplate connected to the backing member to at least partially define a housing configured to receive a tablet. A bracket is configured to retain the tablet in the housing. The housing includes a first connecting feature and the bracket includes a second connecting feature configured to mate with the first connecting feature. Adjustment of one of the first connecting feature and the second connecting feature determines the relative position of the tablet in the housing.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and method for verifying healthcare visits. Location verification information may be received from a portable device by a verification system that includes one or more computers. The portable device may be associated with an individual directed to provide a healthcare service to a patient during a healthcare visit, and the location verification information may be collected by the portable device. The verification system may compare at least a portion of the received information to stored information associated with the patient. Based at least in part upon the comparison, the verification system may determine whether the healthcare visit was performed at an approved service location for the patient.

Abstract: Anion-binding polymers are described. The anion-binding polymers in some cases are low swelling anion-binding polymers. In some cases, the anion-binding polymers have a pore volume distribution such that a fraction of the polymer is not available for non-interacting solutes above a certain percentage of the MW of the target ion for the polymer. In some cases, the anion-binding polymers are characterized by low ion-binding interference, where the interference is measured in, for example, a gastrointestinal simulant, relative to non-interfering buffer. Pharmaceutical composition, methods of use, and kits are also described.

Abstract: A resin transfer system having an automatic vent system operably associated therewith is provided. The automatic vent system is operable to selectively engage once a predetermined amount of mouldable material has been introduced into the resin transfer system. The automatic vent system can also selectively remove or purge any excess materials, such as excess resin, from the resin transfer system, without having to manually clean any conduits or catch pots.
