  • Publication number: 20120062840
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to medical databases, remote monitoring, diagnosis and treatment systems and methods. In one particular embodiment, a system for remote monitoring, diagnosis, or treatment of eye conditions, disorders and diseases is provided. This method generally includes administering a stream of droplets to the eye of a subject from an ejector device, and storing data related to the administration in a memory of the ejector device. The data may then be monitored and analyzed.

  • Publication number: 20100068276
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises multiparticulates comprising a melt-congeal core and a solid amorphous dispersion layer of a poorly water soluble drug and polymer. The multiparticulates are suitable for improving bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. The melt-congeal cores facilitate application of the solid amorphous dispersion layer, and allow incorporation of additional optional components to the core so as to adjust the release of drug from the multiparticulate.

  • Patent number: 7485224
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system may reduce contaminants in water. A system may include a biofilm in a container. The biofilm may be formed from one or more bacteria coupled to one or more substrates. The bacteria may be selected to maximize the reduction of contaminants in water. The system may include one or more bacteria generators to provide bacteria to the biofilm and/or one or more air sources to provide an air bubble stream to the container and/or the bacteria generator. In some embodiments, bacteria may be preserved in a starvation phase. Bacteria may be incubated until they reach a starvation phase. The bacteria may then be preserved as beads or immobilized on a substrate. The preserved bacteria may be used in a system for the reduction of contaminants in water.

  • Patent number: 5842518
    Abstract: A fiber reinforced cement lining for an unconsolidated or otherwise problematic zone in a wellbore is built up by first under-reaming the section of the wellbore to be stabilized by the cement lining. Next a drillable metallic liner is centralized in the under-reamed section and the annulus formed between the metal liner and the wellbore wall is filled with the fiber cement. After the cement has hardened, the drillable liner and a portion of its surrounding cement are milled out using the drillable liner as a guide for a piloted mill tool, thus leaving a relatively uniform thick-walled cement sheath bridging the zone to be stabilized in the wellbore while restoring the original diameter of the wellbore through the unconsolidated zone.
