US Patent:

56114648, Mar 18, 1997

Filed:

May 30, 1995

Appl. No.:

8/449476

Inventors:

Stephen M. Martin - Roswell GA
Harold Shlevin - Marietta GA
Thomas E. Rowe - Roswell GA

Assignee:

CIBA Geigy Corporation - Tarrytown NY

International Classification:

B67D 558

US Classification:

22218906

Abstract:

A container, composition and method for preserving treatment solutions, in which the composition includes weak and strong preservatives. The dispensing container includes media within a dispensing tip which media removes or alters the strong preservative, while allowing the weak preservative to inhibit microbial growth in the tip media. The dispensing container is especially useful in delivering to the ocular environment ophthalmic solutions which are essentially free of strong preservative which may cause patient discomfort. A dispensing container including a pH-preserved pilocarpine solution is disclosed in one embodiment.

US Classification:

424613

Abstract:

A preservative for ophthalmic solutions having an active ingredient is provided, having a hydrogen peroxide content of about 0. 001% to about 0. 10% by weight; and diethylene triamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid) or a physiologically compatible salt thereof, present at about 0. 002% to 0. 03% by weight and/or 0. 005% to about 0. 20% by weight of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, or physiologically acceptable salt thereof.

US Classification:

Abstract:

International Classification:

G01S 506

US Classification:

343112D

Abstract:

A radio frequency distance measuring system and method where two continuous wave carrier signals, derived from a stable frequency source, are radiated from a known reference point. The frequency of the first continuous wave carrier signal is displaced from the frequency of the second continuous wave carrier signal by a selected difference frequency. When received at the unknown point, the two continuous wave carrier signals are mixed to provide a difference or beat frequency marker signal, delayed in arrival at the unknown point from the known point by the speed of light. A locally generated marker signal is derived from a stable frequency source at the unknown point, and has the same frequency as the difference frequency signal. The leading or trailing edge of the difference frequency signal can be compared with the locally generated marker signal, and the time difference or phase difference between them can be displayed using a phase meter or time interval indicator and corresponds to determine directly the distance between the known transmitter reference point and the unknown receiver point. Multiple known reference point transmitters, each transmitting two continuous wave carrier signals displaced in frequency by a selected difference frequency, can be used to obtain two or more distance measurements at the unknown point to determine the position of the unknown receive point with respect to the known transmitter points.

Abstract:

An organizer may send information relating to an event to participants via text messaging without having participants' texting numbers. Particularly, organizer may be associated with a texting number. Organizer sets event's start/end times, and provides email addresses for event invitees. Email requests invitees' texting numbers to participate in event. Texting numbers are stored, and encrypted respectively as identifiers. Organizer's message for participants is sent as text message to participants' texting numbers between event's start/end, and may be sent as if the message originated from organizer's texting number. When event ends, participants' texting numbers are deleted unless a participant participates in organizer's later ending event. In response to invitation to organizer's later event, a received participant's texting number may be encrypted as later identifier, and compared with identifier from earlier event. If a match, organizer's text message sent to participant during prior event is included in organizer's or participant's conversational history.
