Abstract: The present invention provides an improved uncoupling membrane for use between a top coat of mortar in which a tile layer is set and a base coat of mortar applied to a substrate surface. The membrane being of the type including a dimpled plastic layer, the dimples defining, on one side of the membrane, a number of depressions into which the top coat extends in use and, on the other side of the membrane, a number of protuberances. The improvement may include a polymeric coating overlaying the plastic layer and to which the top coat of mortar adheres in use.

Abstract: Disclosed are gel systems prepared with a substantially neutral gel buffer solution, which contains an amine base and at least one zwitterionic component and an acid component. Methods of making and using these gel systems are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for filling needleless injector capsules with liquid drug, whereby dissolved gas within the drug is replaced by a less soluble gas in order to reduce the inclusion of gas bubbles, or to prevent the growth of bubbles during storage and thereby prevent breakage of the capsules.

Abstract: A system for accessing content over a network of computers. The system includes a database system, a content provider interface, a viewer interface, and a virtual remote control. The database system maps channels codes to network addresses as well as to content descriptions. The network address identifies a unit of information or entertainment content. The channel codes include a genre code and a numerical code. The content provider interface assists content providers in entering the network addresses and the content descriptions for their information and entertainment content into the database system. The viewer interface includes a guide (which may be printed or electronic) and a network browser. The viewer interface displays the content descriptions and allows the user to select and view the unit of content on a channel. The virtual remote control is software implemented and allows the viewer to access the channels or to surf through the channels for a given genre.

Abstract: The healing of chronic wounds, such as leg ulcers, is accelerated via topical administration of a serine protease inhibitor, such as PAI-2. Wound healing also is promoted using combinations of protease inhibitors, such as PAI-2 with other serine protease inhibitors and/or with protease inhibitors such inhibitors of metalloproteinases, acid proteases, and thiol proteases, respectively.
