Patent ZA-908523-B (ZA)
Title: Process for direct isolation of captopril
Inventor: ANDERSON NEAL G
IPC: A61P9/00
Filed: 1990-10-24
Abstract: A process is disclosed for direct isolation of captopril from a substrate of the formula <CHEM> wherein R is lower alkyl or lower alkoxy. In this process, the substrate is first treated with an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide capable of forming a water-soluble salt of the substrate, wherein the alkali metal hydroxide has a concentration of 4 M or greater. The substrate is then neutralized, preferably with a mineral acid. By this process, captopril may be directly crystallized from an aqueous solution, avoiding the prior art use of organic solvents and zinc treatment to reduce levels of sulfide and disulfide impurities, respectively. In an alternative embodiment, neutralization is carried out by use of a hydrogen-supplying ion exchange resin.

Title: Extravasation detector
Inventor: BRABRAND KNUT
IPC: A61M5/168
Filed: 2002-12-10
Granted: 2006-06-07
Abstract: Ultrasound Doppler probe 2 is placed above the vein downstream of a contrast medium infusion site and measures the flow velocity in the vein. Processor 4 converts the output from the probe 2 into a form that may be displayed as an image on display unit 5. It also determines whether the velocity corresponds to a flow of contrast medium along the vein. If the cannula 13 is properly sited and the contrast medium as desired along the vein, this will lead to an increased flow velocity in the vein. This is detected by ultrasound probe 2 and the processor 4 will determine that no extravasation has occurred. However, where extravasation of contrast medium occurs a low or zero output from probe 2 will result and processor 4 determines that extravasation has occurred, and it immediately sends a "stop" signal, e.g. an alarm, to pump controller 11 which stops pump 10.

Abstract: Character contours are broken down into a series of orthogonal vectors. Pixel drop out occurs where opposite going vectors coincide. The inside pixel (410 or 440) of each vector (400 or 430) is set to the vector length if the length is greater than the set values of the inside and the outside (420,450) pixels. This procedure is repeated for all the vectors for all the contours. At completion all those pixels set to one or more are set on to produce a drop out corrected bit map which is logically OR'd with the original drop out containing bit map.
