Assignee:

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick NJ

International Classification:

A61K 47/32
A61K 31/43

US Classification:

5147725, 514197, 514201, 514567

Abstract:

Anhydride polymers that release active or activatable agent(s) have pre-selected properties such as molecular weight, flexibility, hardness, adhesiveness, and other valuable properties. The polymers are suitable for use in compositions, formulations, coatings, devices, and the like that benefit from the controlled release of an agent(s) over a period of time. The polymers are prepared by a process involving various alternative and sequential steps that allow the design a priori of products with specific characteristics. The polymers are suitable as delivery systems, either by themselves, as compositions, formulations or devices.

US Classification:

Abstract:

If a semiconductor device is prepared so that it contains a photoconductive region in electrical series with a photovoltaic region, (i. e. , a Schottky barrier or p-n junction) it can function as an optical amplifier and detector. When weak ac light plus an intense dc light are focused on this sample in an appropriate manner, the detected ac electric current will correspond to the intensity of the dc light but have the phase of the ac light; thus a weak ac light signal is effectively amplified, or a dc light signal is converted into an ac electrical signal capable of synchronous detection.
