    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to adhesive solidifying formulations for treating neuropathic pain. The formulation can include a drug suitable for treating neuropathic pain, a solvent vehicle, and a solidifying agent. The solvent vehicle can include a volatile solvent system including at least one volatile solvent, and a non-volatile solvent system including at least one non-volatile solvent capable of facilitating the delivery of the drug at therapeutically effective rates over a sustained period of time. The formulation can have a viscosity suitable for application to a skin surface prior to evaporation of the volatile solvents system. When applied to the skin, the formulation can form a solidified layer after at least a portion of the volatile solvent system is evaporated.

  • Patent number: 8468061
    Abstract: Customer relationship management (CRM) system for enhanced retention of customers of a business entity. In one embodiment, a historical data corresponding to a customer is maintained in the CRM system, with the historical data including information on prior interactions between the customer and the business entity. On receiving a call from the customer, the historical data is identified and an attrition risk (indicating the probability of retaining the customer) is computed based on the identified data. Different offers based on the computed attrition risk are then determined and communicated to the customer during the call.

  • Patent number: 8434066
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention enables users (belonging to a business entity) to validate support for specific activities in a customer relationship management (CRM) system before migration from earlier versions. In one embodiment, the differences between the earlier version and the later version of the CRM system are first identified. An application based on the identified differences is then implemented, with the application designed to demonstrate how activities according to the earlier version would be operative in the later version. The application is provided with an input data representing a first activity (according to the earlier version) and executed to demonstrate how the first activity would be operative in the later version of the CRM system. A user may then inspect an output (e.g., user interfaces related to the first activity) of execution of the application to validate support for the first activity.

  • Publication number: 20130022564
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to solidifying adhesive formulations, methods of drug delivery, and solidified layers for dermal delivery of a drug for treating various skin infections, such as fungal, bacterial, and/or viral skin infections. The formulation can include anti-infective drug, solvent vehicle, and solidifying agent. The solvent vehicle can include a volatile solvent system including at least one volatile solvent, and a non-volatile solvent system including at least one non-volatile solvent. The non-volatile solvent system can facilitate the delivery of the drug at therapeutically effective rates for sustained periods of time. The non-volatile solvent system can also act to plasticize the solidifying agent. The formulation can have a viscosity suitable for application to a skin surface prior to evaporation of the volatile solvents system. When applied to the skin, the formulation can form a solidified layer after at least a portion of the volatile solvent system is evaporated.

  • Patent number: 8244898
    Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for initiating and controlling a media stream with a single message sent from the mobile device to the content provider. The single message uses session description information from a session-description template. In response to receiving the single request, the content provider initiates transmission of the media content according to the instruction in the request. If the content provider does not have a version of the media that matches the selected session-description template, then the content provider may suggest a different version of the media content to the mobile device. The mobile device would then generate a new request based on the suggested version of the media content.

  • Publication number: 20120166425
    Abstract: Systems and methods create a graphical representation of a research map that allows performance of search functions using the nodes of the graphical representation. In one implementation, a system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receive a query for searching a document repository and run the query in the document repository. The processor stores the results of the query and the query as a root node in a research tree. The processor receives a filter for the results of the query. The processor stores the filter and the result list for the filter as a filter node connected to the root node of in the research tree. The processor receives a request to view a document from the result list for the filter and stores the request as a document node connected to the filter node. The processor then creates a display of a research map that includes the research tree.

  • Patent number: 8141003
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for improving user navigation of a multi-page article on a small screen user device. In embodiments, as a user progresses through the multi-page article, pages and/or lines of text of the multi-page article are cached. In response to a user request to view the multi-page article in a full-page format, the cached content is compared against text of the full-page document and used to determine a presentation of the text that displays nonduplicative content to the user.

  • Patent number: 7957284
    Abstract: A method of optimizing bandwidth usage in a link aggregated network includes identifying available bandwidth on a plurality of data links in a link aggregation group, selecting the data link with the least available bandwidth, and determining whether the available bandwidth of the selected data link is less than a guaranteed bandwidth of an incoming data flow. If the available bandwidth of the selected data link is less than the guaranteed bandwidth of the incoming data flow, the method includes selecting the data link with the next least available bandwidth and repeating the previous steps until the available bandwidth of the selected data link is greater than the guaranteed bandwidth of the incoming data flow. The method further includes assigning the data flow to the data link determined to have an available bandwidth greater than the guaranteed bandwidth of the incoming data flow.
