  • Publication number: 20230190650
    Abstract: In view of the health and addiction risks associated with opiates, anesthetic emulsions are described herein comprising eutectic mixtures of local anesthetics. In some embodiments, the anesthetic emulsions release one or more local anesthetics over a period of several days for continuous pain relief. An anesthetic emulsion, in some embodiments, comprises a dispersed phase comprising a eutectic mixture of lidocaine and benzocaine, and an aqueous or aqueous- based continuous phase comprising bupivacaine.

  • Patent number: 9514318
    Abstract: The present invention provides an approach to manage and control document transmission and electronic communication. Specifically, the present invention provides control over data associated with multiple types of data communication. Along these lines, embodiments of the present invention provide a hub and spoke communication model in order to achieve multiple benefits in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, flexibility, and control. This type of granular control is critical for information sharing within a networked computing environment. This approach is also useful for collaboration tools and can be augmented by the creation and management of access control lists (ACL's) for the hub-spoke system. To this extent, embodiments of the present invention provide functionality to automatically update ACL's as documents are being forwarded or otherwise communicated between multiple parties. These ACL's are kept up to date through the analysis of to whom (and where) a document has been sent.

  • Publication number: 20110137947
    Abstract: The present invention provides a solution to manage and control document transmission and electronic communication. Specifically, the present invention solves the problem of having control over data (documents, image files, and attachments hereafter referenced as “documents”) that are associated with multiple types of data communication. Along these lines, the present invention provides a hub and spoke communication model in order to achieve multiple benefits in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, flexibility, and control. This type of granular control is critical for information sharing within a Cloud computing environment. This approach is also useful for collaboration tools and can be augmented by the creation and management of access control lists (ACL) for the hub-spoke system. To this extent, this present invention solves the problem of being able to automatically update ACL's as documents are being forwarded or otherwise communicated between multiple people.
