Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a aminopyridine dispersed in a release matrix, including, for example, a composition that can be formulated into a stable, sustained-release oral dosage formulation, such as a tablet which provides, upon administration to a patient, a therapeutically effective plasma level of the aminopyridine for a period of at least 12 hours, preferably 24 hours or more and the use of the composition to treat various neurological diseases.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to software, and more specifically, to a profitability projection system. In one embodiment, the invention includes an application server, the application server including a profitability component. In a further embodiment, the profitability component includes a margin rate component configured to perform the steps of determining a margin rate of at least one person using a bill rate for the at least one person and a cost rate for the at least one person, the cost rate for the at least one person being a function of a quantity of hours and/or the bill rate. In yet a further embodiment, the profitability component includes a profitability projection component configured to perform the steps of projecting profitability of the at least one person using project parameters received via user input, the received project parameters usable to determine the margin rate of the at least one person using the margin rate component.

Abstract: A building panel, comprising a concrete portion with an inner and outer face, and an enclosing boundary portion around the inner face perimeter, with a rigid planar plastic sheet against the inner face, and spacing studs against the outer face, the studs including fasteners protruding through to embed into the concrete. Also, a method of forming the building panel comprising the steps of forming an enclosed-perimeter outer framework, positioning a plurality of spacing studs which include fasteners extending upwards within the outer framework, placing a planar plastic panel within the frame over the top of the studs with the fastening members protruding through, then pouring concrete into the frame to cover the panel, and fill the framework to the required depth, then removing the outer frame from the cured concrete.

Abstract: A method for controlling access to a massively multi-player, online role-playing game begins by presenting a web page to a first user. The web page receives a parameter for controlling access of a second user to a massively multi-player, online role-playing game. The received parameter is transmitted to a database server, which stores the received parameter in a database record associated with the second user. A game server receives a connection request from the second user and controls access of the second user to the massively multi-player, online role-playing game using the stored parameter.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing data from a plurality of computer environments. A user may search for computer environments that meet a certain criterion. The computer environments are authenticated and data is copied from the computer environments to a memory location. The data may be marked so that a user may determine which computer environment provided the data. The user may add notations to the data during a review. Changes to data on the computer environments may be provided to a user using a syndication feed.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing data from a plurality of computer environments. The computer environments are authenticated and data is imported to a memory location. The data is converted into a uniform format to enable expedited searching by one or more authenticated users. The data may be marked so that a user may determine which computer environment provided the data. The system may also create one or more indexes of the data to assist one or more users in searching the data.

Abstract: According to a general aspect, a method includes receiving, at a network interface device at a user location, a request from a first machine located at the user location, the request including a first-machine identifier and a request to access through the network interface device a first location on a network. The method also includes logging, at the network interface device, the request from the first machine into a first-machine log for requests from the first machine, the logging into the first-machine log being based on the first-machine identifier. The method also includes receiving at the network interface device a request from a second machine located at the user location, the request from the second machine including a second-machine identifier and a request to access through the network interface device a second location on the network, and the network interface device, the first machine, and the second machine being located at a user location.

Abstract: According to a general aspect, a method includes maintaining rating groups, each rating group providing a rating for content compiled based on information received from a user evaluating the content. The method also includes receiving, from a first user, a selection of a first rating group, from among the rating groups, to be applied to a set of users associated with the first user. The method also includes receiving, from a user, a request for a piece of content from the content. The method also includes determining that the user from which the request was received belongs to the set of users associated with the first user. The method also includes, based upon the determination that the user belonged to the set of users associated with the first user, accessing information associated with the first rating group and determining whether the first rating group includes a rating for the requested piece of content.

Abstract: An annular air filter utilizes an end gasket which is snap fitted to a metal end cap. The gasket has a sealing lip with a radially extending, axially facing sealing face for sealing with a filter housing; and an annular, axially extending body portion. The annular, axially extending body portion has an axially extending, radially facing sealing surface for sealing with an air outlet pipe projecting into the housing. The gasket is made of foam rubber, rubber or polyurethane material and is optionally fixed on the air filter element with adhesive.

Abstract: An oral morphine multiparticulate formulation for once-daily administration to a patient, comprising sustained release particles each having a core containing water soluble morphine and an osmotic agent, the core being coated with a rate-controlling polymer coat comprised of ammonio methacrylate copolymers in an amount sufficient to achieve therapeutically effective plasma levels of morphine over at least 24 hours in the patient.
