20090325879 | CONTROLLED RELEASE COPOLYMER FORMULATION WITH IMPROVED RELEASE KINETICS - The present invention provides a constant release copolymer composition adapted for use in a controlled release formulation for a bioactive agent, such as a formulation adapted for implantation within a patient's body tissues as a depot to release the agent over a period of time, wherein the copolymer provides a substantially constant rate of release of the bioactive agent over the time period for which the depot persists in the body tissues. The copolymer includes a PLG copolymer and a PLG oligomer of about 5-10 kDa average molecular weight, which can lack free carboxylic acid groups. When the PLG copolymer is a low burst copolymer, the constant release copolymer composition is a low burst, constant release copolymer composition adapted for implantation in the body tissues of a mammal, wherein a substantially constant rate of release of the bioactive agent is achieved. | 12-31-2009 |

20120108511 | PREPARATION OF BIODEGRADABLE POLYESTERS WITH LOW-BURST PROPERTIES BY SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION - The invention provides methods of extracting a biodegradable polyester with a supercritical fluid effective to obtain a purified biodegradable polyester, such as a purified biodegradable poly(lactide-glycolide) (PLG). The supercritical fluid can be carbon dioxide at an elevated pressure, or can be carbon dioxide with one or more cosolvents. Methods for carrying out stepwise purification of the biodegradable polyester at multiple pressures or multiple temperatures, or both, are also provided. When the polyester is PLG, a purified PLG copolymer is obtained having a narrowed molecular weight distribution with respect to the unpurified polyester. The purified PLG copolymer can have a polydispersity index of less than about 1.7, less than about 2% monomers, and less than about 10% oligomers. The purified PLG copolymer can exhibit a reduced initial burst effect when incorporated into a controlled release formulation such as a flowable implant adapted to be injected into body tissues. | 05-03-2012 |

20120101909 | System and Method for Issuing Negotiable Instruments by Licensed Money Transmitter from Direct Deposits - Embodiments relate to a cash card and associated systems and processes. An account structure is provided that allows a non-bank entity to indirectly provide direct deposit capabilities for funds representing pre-payments for negotiable instruments. When a direct deposit of funds into a first account associated with the individual and maintained by a first entity is detected, the total amount of the funds is transferred into a second account associated with the individual and maintained by a second entity. The first entity is a bank or other financial institution subject to federal banking regulations, while the second entity is not subject to federal banking regulations. The individual may withdraw the funds from the second account by requesting the issuance of negotiable instruments. Negotiable instruments may be issued in any dollar amount not exceeding the balance of the second account. A properly enrolled customer may make subsequent deposits into the second account. | 04-26-2012 |
20130066779 | System and Method for Issuing Negotiable Instruments by Licensed Money Transmitter from Direct Deposits - Anonymous transactions regarding prepaid negotiable instruments may be conducted. An anonymous account may be provided that is identified by an account number. Upon verification of a PIN and the account number, an individual is authorized to make an initial deposit of funds into the anonymous account, representing a pre-payment for negotiable instruments. The individual is thus authorized to request the issuance of negotiable instruments in an amount not exceeding the initial deposit of funds. When the issuance of negotiable instruments has depleted the initial deposit of funds, the anonymous account is closed. However, the anonymous account may be converted into a non-anonymous account, capable of accepting subsequent deposits, if the individual provides personal identifying information. While an anonymous account is not authorized to accept direct deposits of funds, the non-anonymous account may be linked to a traditional bank account, via a communications link, to indirectly offer direct deposit capabilities. | 03-14-2013 |
