Patent GB-2231794-A (GB)
Title: Method for treating and preventing loss of bone mass
Inventor: DELUCA HECTOR F
IPC: A61K31/59
Filed: 1990-03-28
Abstract: The invention describes and claims the use of 1 alpha -Vitamin D2 as a medicament in the treatment of osteoporosis. Active Vitamin D3 compounds are ineffective or minimally effective at dosage ranges which can be tolerated by the human. At dosage ranges which are required to effectively restore lost bone mass, active Vitamin D3 compounds present a serious amount of toxicity in the form of hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. The inventors have found that 1 alpha -Vitamin D2 which is equally as active as 1 alpha -Vitamin D3 in stimulating intestinal calcium absorption can be safely administered at dosages above 3.0  mu g/day without stimulating bone reabsorption.

Title: Radiotelephone message processing for low power operation
Inventor: AUCHTER THOMAS J
IPC: H04M1/73
Filed: 1992-03-13
Abstract: The process of the present invention first synchronizes to incoming messages from the base station. The first data word is received and stored (203) in the radiotelephone. The error code in the data word is next checked to determine if errors exist in the word (205). If there are errors, the word is corrected. This process is repeated on another data word and the second received word is compared with the first. If the words are not equal, the receiver remains on until at least two words are equal or the entire length of the message is received (213). If the words are equal, the word is processed by the radiotelephone and the receiver is turned off (210) for the remaining portion of the message until the next synchronization word is to be received. <IMAGE>

Title: Natural language processing system
Inventor: SHARMAN RICHARD
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1993-04-21
Abstract: A B-tree 21 is used to store natural language data, for example as part of a speech recognition or speech synthesis system. The B-tree is arranged in a hierarchy, with each node pointing to two nodes in the level below. Each node contains a test value (a word), and data relating to that test value (or a reference to a storage location where the data is maintained). The data is accessed by starting at the top of the tree and comparing the desired word with the test value for that node. Depending on the relative alphabetical ordering of the desired word and the test value, the appropriate branch from that node is followed. This process is continued down the tree until a test value corresponding to the desired word is located. The B-tree is arranged so that frequency of occurrence of the test values in natural language decreases substantially monotonically as the tree is descended. <IMAGE>
