Patent EP-0927942-A3 (EP)
Inventor: STAKUTIS CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 1998-09-02
Abstract: The invention provides a digital data processing system with improved
access to information stored on a peripheral device. The system has a plurality of
nodes (12 TO 24), a peripheral device, a file system and a bypass mechanism. A
first node (16) (e.g. a client node) is connected to a second node (18) (e.g. a server
node) over a first communications pathway (26) (e.g. a network). The second node
(18) is itself connected to a peripheral device (36) (e.g. a disk drive) over a second
communications pathway. The first node (16), too, is connected to the peripheral
device (36) over a third communications pathway. The file system, executing on
the first and second nodes, is capable of responding to access requests generated
by the first node for transferring data between that node and the peripheral device,
via the second node and via the first and second communications pathways. The
file system also maintains administrative information pertaining to storage on the
peripheral device of data designated by such requests. That information includes,
for example, physical storage location mappings for files and other data stored on
the peripheral device. The bypass mechanism, which executes on at least the first
node, intercedes in the response to at least selected input/output, or access,
requests generated by that node. The bypass transfers data designated by such
requests between the first node and the peripheral device over the third
communications pathway, in lieu of transferring that data via the second node and
the first and second communications pathways. Such transfers by the bypass,
however, are made using the administrative information maintained by the file
system relating to storage of such data on the peripheral device (36).

Abstract: Diagnostic image reconstruction from projection data includes generating projection data
followed by a convolution of the same. The convolved projection data is then scaled into
unsigned, fixed precision words of a predetermined number of bits. The words are then
split into a predetermined number of colour channels corresponding to colour channels
of a multi-colour rendering engine (150). Simultaneously and independently, the split
words are backprojected along each of the colour channels to obtain backprojected views
for each colour channel. The backprojected views for each colour channel are
accumulated to produce separate colour images corresponding to each colour channel.
Finally, the separate colour images are recombined to produce an output image. In a
preferred embodiment, prior to the convolution of the projection data, a rebinning
operation is performed to ensure that the projection data is in a parallel format. In
addition, after convolving the projection data, a selective pre-interpolating step of linear
or higher order is optionally performed on the projection data.

Abstract: A Jacquard fabric includes a Jacquard yarn plaited into a base knit structure
such as, for example, a "Sleeknit" structure. The fabric may be knitted on a warp knitting
machine having at least four guide bars, the frontmost guide bar being a Jacquard guide bar,
with the Jacquard yarn being knitted in a knit-float-knit sequence. The two middle guide bars
are, for example, fully threaded with multifilament synthetic yarns (e.g. Nylon or polyester),
which knit on alternate courses and float on alternate courses. The backmost bar may be fully
threaded with, for example, an elastomeric fiber (e.g. Lycra Spandex) which may be laid into
the structure during knitting. In an exemplary method for producing the fabric of the present
invention, the two middle guide bars knit on alternate courses, so that only one of these bars is
knitting on any one course. This arrangement allows the Jacquard yarn to be plaited into the
same course and stitch as the finer multifilament yarn on the odd-numbered courses, creating a
softer fabric. In addition, the fabric may be produced without a dropping of the stitch from
the needle, even when the Jacquard guide bar is being deflected.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus for cutting a rail (28) or other
elongated workpiece includes a rotatable blade (60) for
cutting the rail (28), a blade cover (61) for covering the
blade (60), an engine (63) (or motor) for driving the blade
(60), and a frame (11) for supporting the blade (60), the
blade cover (61) and the driver (63). The cutting apparatus
further includes link mechanisms (62, 64). One link
mechanism (62) supports the blade (60) and the blade cover
(61) relative to the frame (11) and permits the blade cover
(61) to move while maintaining a predetermined attitude
during cutting. Therefore, the blade cover (61) moves
vertically and avoids hitting obstacles. Another link
mechanism (64) moves the driver (63) while maintaining a
predetermined attitude of the driver (63). Therefore, the
driver (63) remains level during cutting.

Abstract: A nozzle apparatus (150) and method for dispensing
powdered material from a container (140) such as a
cardboard shipping box. The apparatus (150) has a shaft (300)
with a tip (310) in the shape of a slant-cut cylinder
which is manually inserted into the container (140)
through the container wall (920) and an inner plastic
lining (910) of the container (140). A threaded portion (320) on the
shaft (300) in the form of an increasing radial helix
thread causes the apparatus (150) to tighten against the
wall (920) of the container (140) when the user manually rotates
a gripping portion (350) of the apparatus (150). A passageway (400)
extends from the tip (310) to a fitting (370) outside the
container (140) which can be connected to a vacuum source
such as a powder pump (155) to draw in the powder coating
material. The fluidized powder is then carried to a
spray gun for powder coating an object. A second
passageway (365) may be carried within the shaft (300) and
extend from an opening (362) within the container (140) to a
fitting (750) outside the container (140) to carry a pressurized
gas into the container (140). The container (140) may be placed
on a vibrating tilted platform to agitate the powder
coating material.

Title: Atorvastatin calcium in a pharmaceutical form, composition thereof, and pharmaceutical formulation comprising atorvastatin calcium
Inventor: KERC JANEZ
IPC: A61P43/00
Filed: 2002-03-13
Abstract: Atorvastatin calcium, the substance known by the chemical name (R-(R*,R*))-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-²,´-dihydroxy-5-(1-methylethyl)-3-phenyl-((phenylamino)carbonyl)-1H-pyrrole-1-heptanoic acid hemi calcium salt is known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and is used as an antihypercholesterolemic agent. Atorvastatin in the pharmaceutical compositions available in the market, is usually prepared as its calcium salt since it enables atorvastatin to be conveniently formulated in the pharmaceutical formulations, for example, in tablets, capsules, powders and the like for oral administration. Atorvastatin calcium can exist in an amorphous form or in one of the at least four known crystalline forms (Form I, Form II, Form III and Form IV). Atorvastatin calcium is the substance which is sparingly soluble in water, with pKa 4,5, and it has been found that the crystalline forms are less soluble than the amorphous form, which may cause problems in bioavailability of atorvastatin in the body.  The present invention solves the problem of providing therapeutic equivalence of atorvastatin pharmaceutical formulation regardless the form (crystalline, amorphous, mixture of both) of atorvastatin calcium used for its preparation.
