  • Publication number: 20130250854
    Abstract: A mobile station for notification of a circuit switched event. The mobile station includes a circuit switched modem, a packetized data modem, a radio, and a tune away controller. The circuit switched communicates circuit switched data over a circuit switched network. The packetized data modem communicates packetized data over a packetized data network. The radio couples the packetized data modem to the packetized data network via a packetized data radio link, and couples the circuit switched modem to the circuit switched network via a circuit switched radio link. Only one of the links may be active at a time. The tune away controller is coupled to the circuit switched modem and to the packetized data modem, and indicates tune away events over the packetized data network so that the circuit switched event is processed by the mobile station. The tune away controller directs switching between the links.

  • Publication number: 20130197210
    Abstract: The invention provides a composition containing particulate composite of a polymer and a therapeutic agent. The composition also contains a complexing agent. The polymer interacts with the complexing agent in a host-guest or a guest-host interaction to form an inclusion complex. Both the polymer of the particulate composite and the complexing agent may be used to introduce functionality into the therapeutic composition. A therapeutic composition of the invention may be used to deliver the therapeutic agent and to treat various disorders. The invention also relates to a method of preparing a composition of the present disclosure. The invention further relates to a method of delivering a therapeutic agent, using the composition of the present disclosure, where a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic composition of the invention may be administered to a mammal (e.g. person or animal) in recognized need of the therapeutic.
