20150291562 | IMIDE-BASED MODULATORS OF PROTEOLYSIS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF USE - The description relates to imide-based compounds, including bifunctional compounds comprising the same, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the description provides compounds, which contain on one end a ligand which binds to the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. Compounds can be synthesized that exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides of nearly any type. | 10-15-2015 |

20080249964 | Method for providing a refund for indicium-based postage - A refund processing system and method where mailpiece identification information carried in first indicia is embedded in second indicia. Second indicia are stored in a database. A refund processor receives a request for a refund that includes identifiers of mailpieces for which a postage refund is sought. The refund processor determines if a corresponding second indicia is stored in the database, if any such indicia is authentic and monitors the mailstream to determine if any mailpiece corresponding to the identifier in the refund request is processed by the carrier. If an authentic second indicia is found that corresponds to the mailpiece and the mailpiece identifier is not detected in the mailstream, the refund is processed and the requester's account is credited to an amount equal to the postage borne by the second indicia. | 10-09-2008 |
20080281758 | Postage value exchange system and method - A postage value exchange system and method provides for the improved generation of postage indicators. A meter requesting device sends a meter request to a postage security device (PSD). The PSD processes the request based on the identification of the requesting device and a comparison of available metering funds. If authorized, the PSD provides a meter response that includes an authorization. Based on this authorization, the requesting device may thereupon locally generate the postage indicator, eliminating processing and transmission overhead from the PSD generating these indicators. | 11-13-2008 |
