Title: Process and methods for the preparation of gabapentin and its intermediates
Inventor: ARNALOT AGUILAR CARMEN
IPC: C07D209/54
Filed: 2005-02-28
Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing gabapentin and its intermediates. The process generally involves treating gabapentin lactam with an aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid to yield gabapentin hydrobromide salt as an intermediate, which can be isolated by filtration. The gabapentin hydrobromide salt can then be hydrolyzed with a base, such as an organic amine, to yield gabapentin that can be isolated by filtration.

Patent CA-2614362-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OELMANN WERNER
IPC: F28F9/16
Filed: 2006-07-03
Abstract: The invention relates to a shell-and-tube heat exchanger which contains a wear-resistant tube plate lining. In spite of short exposure periods, cracking gas flowing out of the cracking oven of thermal cracking equipment at high speeds contains coking particles that impact the tube plate on the gas inlet side of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger in a highly erosive manner. It would be highly desirable to be able to apply a metallic lining to the tube plate and the inlet region of the cooling tubes which is extremely resistant to high-temperature corrosion. It is proposed to develop a shell-and-tube heat exchanger which includes a wear-resistant tube plate lining for application in thermal cracking equipment which contains cooling tubes (1) through which the gas to be cooled is circulated, each tube being secured by a tube plate at both ends of the tube and enclosed in a casing through which a coolant material is also circulated. (2) The surface of the tube plate on the gas inlet side which is impacted by gas as it enters the shell-and-tube heat exchanger should be faced, at least partially, by a protective layer which is created by aligning individual sleeves of a heat-resistant metallic material side-to-side and end-to-end at the outer edges and inserting them into the tube ends (Fig.1).

Title: Polarization and wavelength stable superfluorescent sources
Inventor: FALQUIER DARIO G
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 1999-10-29
Abstract: The instability of the mean wavelength of a superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) is reduced by randomizing the polarization of light from a pump source or by using polarization maintaining components. In one embodiment, the polarization of a pump source is made more random, leading to greater stability of the mean wavelength of the SFS, with an output mean wavelength that is stable to better than 3 ppm for full rotation of the pump polarization on state. In another embodiment, the polarization of optical radiation throughout the device is kept substantially constant by using polarization maintaining fiber and components, thereby leading to enhanced mean wavelength stability of the SFS.

Patent CA-2627666-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PIERS PATRICIA
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2006-10-26
Abstract: When fitting a patient for an intraocular lens, a series of measurements is taken on the patient's eye that determines a required lens power. Next, a range of preferred shape factors may be found, which determine the base (i.e., spherical) radii of the two lens surfaces, essentially independent of the lens power. The preferred shape factor adjusts the third-order coma of the lens to largely offset the coma of the cornea, so that the image at the retina has a reduced amount of third-order coma. Once a preferred shape factor is determined, the base radii of curvature of the anterior and posterior surfaces are determined from the shape factor and the lens power by algebraic formulas.  Finally, one or more aspheric terms are added to one or both of the surfaces in the lens, so that the spherical aberration of the lens largely offsets the spherical aberration of the cornea.
