Ampyra, a pill approved to help patients with multiple sclerosis walk, has put Acorda Therapeutics inthe small club of profitable biotechnology companies.
Rooms have infrared sensors that detect body heat, so that staff don't accidentally walkin on guests, and there's a virtual golf clubinthe basement that lets you simulate a round on 50 of the world's most famous courses.
