Abstract: Chemically or biochemically active agents or other species are patterned on a substrate surface by providing a micromold having a contoured surface and forming, on a substrate surface, a chemically or biochemically active agent or fluid precursor of a structure. A chemically or biochemically active agent or fluid precursor also can be transferred from indentations in an applicator to a substrate surface. The substrate surface can be planar or non-planar. Fluid precursors of polymeric structures, inorganic ceramics and salts, and the like can be used to form patterned polymeric articles, inorganic salts and ceramics, reactive ion etch masks, etc. at the surface. The articles can be formed in a pattern including a portion having a lateral dimension of less than about 1 millimeter or smaller. The indentation pattern of the applicator can be used to transfer separate, distinct chemically or biochemically active agents or fluid precursors to separate, isolated regions of a substrate surface.

Abstract: A method and system for processing, in a wireless communication device, data concerning a group resource allocation enables efficient use of radio frequency resources. The method includes processing a group properties message received from a radio access network (block 1410). The group properties message comprises group properties for a scheduling group, and the group properties comprise a group identifier that identifies the scheduling group. A group assignment message received from the radio access network is then processed (block 1425). The group assignment message comprises the group identifier and a position assignment within the scheduling group. The group properties are then associated with the group assignment message (block 1430).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for treating inflammatory arthritis in a mammal. The method typically comprises administering to an animal a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound selected from indigo, isoindigo, indirubin or derivatives thereof, such as NATURA-? or NATURA. The present invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions that include a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of the invention, an anti-inflammatory arthritis agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for producing an optical waveguide that includes the steps of: (a) forming a core structure, the core structure including an at least partially cured core composition, on a master defining a waveguide pattern; (b) applying over the top of the core structure and the master a cladding layer including a liquid cladding composition; (c) curing the cladding layer to form a core/cladding combination; and removing the core/cladding combination from the master so as to expose at least a portion of the core structure, wherein the refractive index of the core material is at least about 0.05 percent higher than the refractive index of the cladding material.
