Title: (4r)-substituted-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)butanoic acid and its isopropyl and tert-butyl esters
Inventor: QUALLICH GEORGE J
IPC: C07C57/58
Filed: 1992-12-11
Abstract: A novel multi-step process for preparing the (4S &cir& _-enantiomer of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone in a highly-optically pure form is disclosed. The process involves (1) first esterifying 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-ketobutanoic acid with isopropylene or isobutylene to form the corresponding isopropyl or t &cir& _e &cir& _r &cir& _t &cir& _.-butyl 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-ketobutanoate; (2) then reducing the ketobutanoic acid ester obtained in the first step with an asymmetric carbonyl reducing agent to form the corresponding chiral isopropyl or t &cir& _e &cir& _r &cir& _t &cir& _.-butyl 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-(4R &cir& _)-hydroxybutanoate; (3) then sulfonylating the (4R &cir& _)-hydroxybutanoic acid ester with methanesulfonyl, benzenesulfonyl or p &cir& _-toluenesulfonyl chloride or bromide in the presence of a standard base to yield the corresponding isopropyl or t &cir& _e &cir& _r &cir& _t &cir& _.-butyl 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-(4R &cir& _)-sulfonyloxybutanoate; (4) next subjecting the 4-sulfonyloxybutanoic acid ester obtained in the third step to a copper-coupling reaction with dilithium diphenyl(cyano)cuprate of the formula  PHI 2Cu(CN)Li2 to effect a stereochemical displacement of the organic (4R &cir& _)-sulfonyloxy group of the (4R &cir& _)-sulfonyloxybutanoic acid ester by the phenyl group of the dilithium diphenylcuprate reagent and so selectively form the corresponding isopropyl or t &cir& _e &cir& _r &cir& _t &cir& _.-butyl 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-(4R &cir& _)-phenylbutanoate, and (5) thereafter cyclizing the stereospecific (4R &cir& _)-phenylated n-butanoic acid ester in the presence of a protic or Lewis acid catalyst to finally yield the desired (4S &cir& _)-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalenone compound in a highly-optically pure form. The latter compound, which is a novel (4S &cir& _)-enantiomer per se, has utility as an intermediate that ultimately leads to pure c &cir& _i &cir& _s &cir& _-(1S &cir& _)(4S &cir& _)N-methyl-4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthaleneamine (sertraline), which is a known antidepressant agent. The aforementioned isopropyl and t &cir& _e &cir& _r &cir& _t &cir& _.-butyl esters of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-(4R &cir& _)-hydroxybutanoic acid, as well as their corresponding (4R &cir& _)-methanesulfonyl, (4R &cir& _)-benzenesulfonyl and (4R &cir& _)-p &cir& _-toluenesulfonyl derivatives, are also novel compounds, as are the aforementioned isopropyl and t &cir& _e &cir& _r &cir& _t &cir& _.-butyl esters of 4-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-(4R &cir& _)-phenylbutanoic acid as well as the aforesaid acid per se. These novel chiral compounds are all useful as key intermediates in the overall process of the present invention.

Title: A distribution system to enable video and interactive services to be distributed over a public switched telephone network
Inventor: SIM PUAY KIA
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 1996-09-06
Abstract: Disclosed is a distribution system including a channel distribution system for receiving content signals from a telecommunications transmission network and an access system for accessing the content signals received by the channel distribution system, and multicasting the content signals to customer units on telecommunications lines.  The access system includes modulating units, such as ADSL units, for modulating the content signals for a transmission on the telecommunications lines, and a channel access unit for accessing and multicasting the content signals to the modulating units.  The modulating units establish with the customer units a bidirectional data channel and a downstream content channel.  The content signals transmitted on the downstream channel may be Pay TV, pay per view, free-to-air TV signals, video on demand signals, and even TCP/IP network (Internet) signals.  The system can distribute a number of video and/or interactive services by establishing connections to customers over the telecommunications lines and, if necessary, connections to service providers over a telecommunications transmission network.  Switching of service channels can be performed by the access system in response to control signals from the customer units.

Title: Apparatus and method for displaying numeric values corresponding to the volume of segments of an irregularly shaped item
Inventor: WARGON KENNETH
IPC: B23D33/12
Filed: 2003-12-23
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for displaying the weight or cost of segments of an irregularly shaped item are disclosed. The method involves passing a sensor bar supported above a supporting surface over the item lying on the surface. A compact hand-held embodiment of the sensor bar enables the operator to move the sensor bar in various linear or non-linear motions over the item surface as the sensor bar moves laterally across the item surface while the sensor bar support posts remain in constant contact with the supporting surface. The sensor bar contains one or more sensors which generate signals corresponding to the height of the item as the sensor bar traverses the item. At the same time, a displacement detector arrangement generates signals corresponding to displacement of the sensor bar relative to the support surface. These signals are processed in a signal processor to determine the volume of an uncut segment of the item lying behind the sensor bar at successive positions. Each of these cumulative volume determinations may be continuously converted into numeric weight values based on the density factor for the particular type of item, whereby numeric weight and cost values (based on weight) are continuously displayed as the sensor bar is stroked over the item, thus enabling the operator to accommodate an on-looking consumer's specific requests as per the particular portion desired based on the physical appearance, weight, and cost of an item before the item is cut.
