Abstract: A dry extract is reduced in volume by compacting to produce a solid form of pharmaceutical such as a tablet or capsule containing plant extracts. The particles of compacted matter are subsequently screened to a uniform grain size, masked with titanium dioxide, talc, and highly dispersed silicon dioxide in a first mixing process, and treated with additional adjuvants in two more mixing steps.     The masked compacted matter has the flowability required for making tablets and is protected against moisture absorption. The extract portion is a minimum of 65 percent by weight, which allows for producing relatively small tablets that have low disintegration times due to masking.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de raccordement d'une conduite rigide (12) à un tuyau flexible (22). Le dispositif pour le raccordement d'une conduite rigide (12) à un tuyau flexible (22) est destiné à être utilisé dans des utilisations de basse pression par lequel la communication fluidique entre la conduite rigide (12) et le tuyau flexible (22) est entravée. Selon l'invention, le raccordement comporte une bride de serrage (30). Après l'assemblage du raccordement mettant en oeuvre le procédé de l'invention, une extrémité terminale du tuyau flexible (22) est interposée entre l'extrémité terminale de la conduite rigide (12) et la bride de serrage (30). Chacune de la conduite rigide (12) et la bride de serrage (30) est déformée pour définir des pointes annelées en coopération, et pour provoquer la déformation du tuyau flexible (22) entre celles-ci. La déformation du tuyau flexible (22) entre la conduite rigide (12) et les pointes annelées de la bride de serrage (30) permet de former un obturateur pour empêcher la communication fluidique entre la conduite rigide (12) et le tuyau flexible (22), et par ailleurs évite que le raccordement soit enlevé. Dans une variante, au moins la conduite rigide (12) est déformée pour définir une pointe annelée barbelée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la bride de serrage (30) est également déformée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la bride de serrage (30) définit une surface moletée (42) pour accroître la résistance de friction entre la bride de serrage (30) et la conduite flexible (22).

Abstract: A presence management system is described whereby connections between watching parties and watched parties in a multiple access communications network are managed. When the presence management system receives a contact request from a watching party it determines whether the required watched party is available for contact. The system then provides information about this to the watching party who made the request. The presence management system chooses the best mode of communication (e.g. email or fax) taking into account the watched parties preferences and details about the facilities available to the watching party. If, the presence management system informs the watching party that the watched party is unavailable, the watching party is able to set up a monitor.  In determining whether the required watched party is available for contact, the presence management system uses stored information about the watched party, information about the required connection (e.g. size and type) and also rules. In addition, information about events from the multiple access network are used e.g. geographical location of watched party mobile phones.  Advantageously, information from third party applications is made available to the presence management system. For example, information about credit card transactions and calling card use. This high level information provides details about a watched party's location and activities that is accurate and up-to-date. By using this information the performance and ability of the presence management system is improved.

Abstract: The invention provides longitudinally extending track support and track members for a mobile storage unit. The track support's upper surface has at least one protrusion which projects above and extends longitudinally along that upper surface. A mating recess extends within and along the track member's under surface. The recess and protrusion are sized and shaped for loose-fit longitudinal engagement of the protru- sion within the recess when the track member is laid atop the track support. This permits limited transverse movement of the track member with respect to the track support, reducing susceptibility of the mobile storage unit's wheels to derailment if a transverse force is applied to mobile storage unit as it rolls along the track.

Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: The invention relates to a simple quantitative fluorescent assay method for determining the activity of transport proteins, more specifically multi-drug resistance associated proteins (MRPs). The method of the invention is performed on a well sealed culture of polarized cells expressing a transport protein of interest grown to confluency on a permeable support, said confluent cell culture forming well separated apical and basolateral compartments. The cells are contacted with a cell permeable non-fluorescent derivative of a fluorescent compound (e.g. calcein AM) in one compartment and, after a certain period of incubation, the fluorescence intensity detected in a sample taken from the opposite compartment is indicative of the activity of the transport protein of interest expressed in the cells. The invention also concerns methods for the qualitative and quantitative determination of inhibitors and activators of transport proteins of interest and methods for assessing basolateral and/or apical localization of plasma membrane bound transport proteins of interest in polarized cells.
