Title: Preparation & purification of 1-[4-(4-benzyloxy)phenyl]-2-(4-benzylpiperidin-1-yl)-1-propanone, & use thereof in stereospecific preparation of ifenprodil
Inventor: BROWN STUART
IPC: C07C45/63
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: A process for the preparation of 1-[4-(4-benzyloxy)phenyl]-2-(4-benzylpiperidin-1--yl)-1-propanone ("intermediate 3") comprises bromination of 4'-hydroxypropiophenone to give "intermediate 1", alkylation with 4-benzylpiperidine to give "intermediate 2", and benzylation with a benzyl halide (e.g. benzyl bromide) to give "intermediate 3". The latter may be purified by recrystallisation from hexane or heptane, or by forming a slurry in methanol at room temperature and causing solidification by cooling to 5{ C. In the preparation of intermediate 3, it is not necessary to isolate intermediates 1 and 2; organic solutions thereof may be used in the subsequent synthetic stage without evaporation of the solvent in vacuo. Reduction of intermediate 3 by temperature controlled lithium aluminium hydride reduction yields racemic erythro-ifenprodil and reduction of intermediate 3 by either sodium borohydride or catalytic hydrogen reduction yields racemic threo-ifenprodil.

IPC: G06K19/10
Filed: 2006-06-08
Abstract: An access control system has at least one unit e.g. computer 126, printer 128, sender 124 or server 122, each of which has an RFID transponder 150 attached. A technician 104 wears an RFID tag 105. On approach to a unit associated with a transponder, the tag 105 is read wirelessly and information e.g. a personal identifier and possibly login data, is sent to an authentication manager 140, where the access to the unit by the technician is allowed, if the data provides authentication. The access may be implemented simply by powering up the unit. In an alternative embodiment, the technician carries a mobile computing device (216 Fig. 5 not shown), which reads the technicians tag (214). The device (216) then communicates either with a tag (224) or a transponder (225) on a unit (218). Thus the access manger (220) can authenticate the technician and verify that a computing device is being carried. The device may be used to aid the maintenance process.

Title: Baby bottle with mixing compartments
Inventor: ALON ARIEL
IPC: A61J9/00
Filed: 2008-08-21
Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable baby bottle 10 including two separately pre-fillable compartments 20,22. One compartment 20 is to contain liquid while the other one 22 contains a baby feed formula typically in the form of dry powder. The two compartments 20,22 are mutually separated by a barrier 24. When the care-giver is required to feed the baby, he or she is to disrupt the barrier 24 between the compartments 20,22, such as by rotating the lower compartment 20 relative to the upper compartment 22. This disruption results in unification of the two separated compartments. As a result, the baby powder formula can intermix with the liquid, creating a consumable mixture. The baby bottle of the invention preferably has in addition an integrated teat 26 and a cap 28 covering the teat.
