  • Patent number: 9849066
    Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the identification of a pharmaceutical container formed, at least in part, of a glass composition which exhibits a reduced propensity to delaminate, i.e., a reduced propensity to shed glass particulates. As a result, the presently claimed containers are particularly suited for storage of pharmaceutical compositions and, specifically, a pharmaceutical solution comprising a pharmaceutically active ingredient, for example, PEDIARIX® (Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed, Hepatitis B (Recombinant) and Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine), HAVRIX® (Hepatitis A Vaccine), ENGERIX-B® (Hepatitis B Vaccine (Recombinant)), TWINRIX® (Hepatitis A & Hepatitis B (Recombinant) Vaccine), EPERZAN® (albiglutide), MAGE-A3 Antigen-Specific Cancer Immunotherapeutic (astuprotimut-R), GSK2402968 (drisapersen), and HZ/su (herpes zoster vaccine).

  • Patent number: 9850162
    Abstract: A strengthened glass container or vessel such as, but not limited to, vials for holding pharmaceutical products or vaccines in a hermetic and/or sterile state. The strengthened glass container undergoes a strengthening process that produces compression at the surface and tension within the container wall. The strengthening process is designed such that the tension within the wall is great enough to ensure catastrophic failure of the container, thus rendering the product unusable, should sterility be compromised by a through-wall crack. The tension is greater than a threshold central tension, above which catastrophic failure of the container is guaranteed, thus eliminating any potential for violation of pharmaceutical integrity.

  • Patent number: 9843498
    Abstract: Present disclosure relates to methods for preparing BGP update messages for transmission and processing received update messages. The methods are based on grouping path attributes common to a plurality of IP address prefixes into respective sets identified with respective set identifiers and, instead of duplicating path attributes in each BGP update message, including a respective identifier referring to a certain set of path attributes provided in an earlier BGP update message when sending subsequent update messages. Grouping of path attributes into individual sets associated with respective identifiers provides significant advantages by enabling re-use of the results of previous processing on both the sending and receiving sides associated with transmission of BGP update messages. In addition, such an approach limits the amount of information transmitted in the control plane because duplicate sets of path attributes may only be transmitted once and merely be referred to in subsequent update messages.

  • Publication number: 20170349416
    Abstract: A jack stand includes a base having a jacking surface which receives a jack thereon, in which the jack has a main body and a lifting head which can be jacked up. Two support columns extend perpendicularly upward from the base parallel to and spaced apart from one another by a fixed lateral spacing to receive the jack therebetween. A jack body is slidably supported along the two columns and includes a jacking surface on a bottom side thereof so as to be arranged to operatively receive the jack between the two jacking surfaces of the jack body and the base respectively such that operation of the jack displaces the jack body relative to the base. A jack post, upon which an object to be jacked is supported, is slidably supported on the jack body to be adjustable in height independently of a height of the jack body.

  • Patent number: 9830306
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an interface between a Web browser's layout engine and a scripting engine. The interface enables objects from the layout engine to be recognized by a memory manager in the scripting engine and interact in a streamlined, efficient manner. In accordance with one or more embodiments, the interface allows browser layout engine objects to be created as objects that are native to the scripting engine. Alternately or additionally, in some embodiments, the native objects are further configured to proxy functionality between the layout engine and the scripting engine.
