Rapid establishment and/or termination of substantial steady-state drug delivery

The present invention is directed to treatment methods for a disease or condition, in a subject in need of such treatment, that provide alternatives to treatment by injection that give, relative to treatment by injection, improved treatment outcomes, 100% treatment compliance, reduced side effects, and rapid establishment and / or termination of substantial steady-state drug delivery. The method typically includes providing continuous delivery of a drug from an implanted osmotic delivery device, wherein substantial steady-state delivery of the drug at therapeutic concentrations is typically achieved within about 7 days or less after implantation of the osmotic delivery device in the subject and the substantial steady-state delivery of the drug from the osmotic delivery device is continuous over a period of at least about 3 months. In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus using incretin mimetics.

Method and device for controlling image data acquisition and image reconstruction

In a method and a device for optimization of a combined system for the acquisition of magnetic resonance tomographic measurement data and an image reconstruction process, the image reconstruction process is already executed during the acquisition of the measurement data, by the calculation process being deconstructed into calculation packets, and rules are defined that establish which requirements must be met for the execution of the respective calculation packet. The calculation process is reorganized into a workflow structure based on the calculation packets and the rules. The calculation process is controlled using the generated workflow structure synchronized to the acquisition process. The rules entirely describe the calculation process, i.e. inclusive of all calculation packets and their logical dependencies. The stability of the calculation process is thus entirely independent of the chronological order of the measurement data acquisition.

Semiconductor device and driving method of the same

In the case of reducing an effect of variations in current characteristics of transistors by inputting a signal current to a transistor in a pixel, a potential of a wiring is detected by using a precharge circuit. In the case where there is a difference between a predetermined potential and the potential of the wiring, a charge is supplied to the wiring to perform a precharge by charging rapidly. When the potential of the wiring reaches the predetermined potential, the supply of charge is stopped and a signal current only is supplied. Thus, a precharge is performed only in a period until the potential of the wiring reaches the predetermined potential, therefore, a precharge can be performed for an optimal period.

Method for enabling faster recovery of client applications in the event of server failure

A system and method are provided for improving recovery times in fallover conditions in a multinode data processing system by sending notification of the failure of a server node, which is acting as server for a client application running on a client node, to the client application. In the present invention, this notification is provided by the fallover node acting as backup for the server node. When a client application receives no response from a server for a long time, it assumes that the server has failed and initiates reconnection. The present invention speeds-up the reconnect initiated by the client application by having system level software proactively notify the client application about the server failure. This results in faster recovery for client applications.

Method of providing packet data service in a wireless telecommunication system

A method of determining whether a wireless packet data service can be activated in a dormant state. To activate one of a plurality of packet data services in the dormant state, a BS transmits to an MS a Page Message containing an SR ID identifying the service to be activated. If a service instance for the service is unavailable, the MS transmits to the BS a response message indicating that the service cannot be reconnected. The BS then terminates immediately, thereby saving radio resources and improving system performance.

Security system for a medical emergency crash cart

A utility cart includes a sensor or plurality of sensors to determine the state of a cart and secure cart contents. A sensor may be used to determine whether the contents of the cart have been accessed. When the sensor determines that the cart has been accessed, an alarm sequence that sounds an alarm or activates a visual indicator will be initiated. The alarm sequence may be terminated by a kill switch or by using an input device to deactivate the alarm. After the cart is used, the cart is re-stocked and the alarm controller is re-armed to return the cart's alarm system to an access sensing state.

Method of associating tire pressure control apparatuses to wheel positions

Tire pressure control devices include first sensors to deliver repeatedly a measured value M1 for the rotation speed of the wheel. A measurand, from which the rotation speed of the associated wheel can be derived, is detected in a pointwise manner by means of a second sensor over a predetermined rotation angle φ of the wheel as a function of time, is subjected to a low pass filtering in a subsequent first time interval Δt1 and from the filtered development of the measurand a second measured value M2 is determined, which is a measurement for the rotation speed or respectively for the angular speed of the associated wheel. Each tire pressure control device transmits at the end of a second time interval Δt2 the second measured value M2 together with an identification of the tire pressure control device to a central unit. Comparing M1 and M2 determines wheel position.

Method to treat and prevent asthma attacks using throat lozenges and orally-retained liquids containing magnesium

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways in the lungs and bronchial tubes, the lower airway, that impairs breathing, causes wheezing, coughing and excess mucus and phlegm production. Asthma is the source of about one-fourth of all emergency room admissions. Throat lozenges and orally-retained liquids, such as syrups, containing magnesium are used in the invention to rapidly terminate asthma attacks and prevent asthma attacks. Magnesium lozenges and magnesium orally-retained liquids are effective in asthma rescue. Treatment of asthma with orally-retained magnesium, an essential human nutrient, is much safer than treatment by drugs yet they appear as effective as current drugs. An added benefit from magnesium treatment is relaxation. A preferred composition is 100 mg of magnesium from 400 mg magnesium chloride in a 4-gram lozenge. Magnesium lozenges or orally-retained liquids are administered as needed to treat asthma attacks or prevent incipient asthma attacks. Throat lozenges and orally-retained liquids of any pharmaceutically acceptable composition containing any pharmaceutically acceptable compound of magnesium are disclosed and claimed as effective in the treatment and prevention of asthma.

Method for assigning identifiers of wheel electronics of a tire pressure monitoring system of a vehicle to the positions of the wheels on the vehicle

A method for assigning identifiers of wheel electronics to the positions of the wheels on the vehicle is disclosed. The wheel electronics send their individual identifier with information relating to the rotational direction of the wheel and to the occurrence of an impact on the wheel to a receiver. An evaluation unit: collects the identifiers and rotational direction information and the driving speed, and on this basis, differentiates between identifiers of wheel electronics on the left and right vehicle side; differentiates impacts reported from wheel electronics on the left vehicle side, from impacts reported from wheel electronics on the right vehicle side; measures the time between impact signals reported from wheel electronics on the left or on the right vehicle side; multiplies the measured time by the driving speed measuring during this time; and checks whether the length formed by the multiplication coincides with an axle distance.
