Filed:

Dec 21, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/748099

Inventors:

John P. Carr - Sunnyvale CA
James B. Eckenhoff - late of Los Altos CA

Assignee:

Alza Corporation - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

A61K 948

US Classification:

6048921, 6048901, 424422, 424457

Abstract:

An osmotic delivery system for controlled delivery of a beneficial agent includes an implant capsule having a beneficial agent reservoir, an osmotic agent which expands on contact with fluid imbibed through a permeable membrane retained by the implant capsule, a delivery port, and a valve for opening and closing the delivery port. When the osmotic agent expands, a pressure is exerted against a separating member positioned between the beneficial agent reservoir and the osmotic agent. The separating member moves within the capsule, thereby forcing the valve to move a distance such that the beneficial agent can exit the reservoir through the delivery port.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 35, 705 39

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the sharing of account features. In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions and a data warehouse to record the transactions and store account data identifying account features of separate accounts, such as a second account having a feature and a first account without this feature. Account holders of the first and second accounts are in a same household and thus, in accordance with a set of rules, eligible to share the account features. A portal is configured to receive a request identifying the first account and to determine whether a transaction initiated in the first account and qualified for a benefit of the account feature is entitled to the benefit; and if so, a notification engine is to transmit a notification message to an account holder of the first account.

US Classification:

705 32, 705 1

Abstract:

Systems and methods for displaying data modification may include a user interface displaying a timeline with one or more items, which may include their own item timeline, corresponding to the same time period. A change made in item values may be reflected in the timeline. The invention may be applied to payroll or human capital management software, which may provide means for displaying payroll or human capital management information and how it is modified.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715700

Abstract:

Systems and methods for displaying rolling sequences, such as time periods or data status may include a user interface displaying multiple panes providing access to data relating to a given time category. If a time category were to pass, the access to data relating to a given time category may move to the position and format held by the prior time category. The invention may be applied to payroll processing or other human capital management software, which may provide means for displaying payroll information of employees for multiple time categories at once, and may enable payroll information to transition as time categories pass.
