Abstract: Described is a stable pharmaceutical composition of 3-(hydroxymethyl-5,5-diphenylhydantoin disodium phosphate ester, the prodrug of 5,5-diphenylhydantoin (phenytoin) a commonly used drug for the treatment and management of epilepsy and other types of convulsive states. It has been found that degradation of the prodrug to phenytoin can be controlled by controlling the pH of the composition. Controlling the pH to between 8.3 to 9.4 results in the production of diphenylglycinamide as the primary degradant and minimization of degradation to phenytoin. If the pH is maintained at a lower or higher value, then the degradation pattern changes, with earlier than expected product failure.

Abstract: A suction transfer assembly (1) for a medicament liquid (L), especially a hazardous liquid, that permits safe and easy transfer of liquid (L) from its container to a suction operating dispenser device such as a syringe (60), yet avoids leakage on detaching the device from the assembly, comprises a longitudinal vial (10) and longitudinal adapter (30). The vial (10) forms an enclosed longitudinal chamber (14) filled with the medicament liquid (L) and has an open end (13) closed by a penetrable stopper (15). The vial (10) is slidable longitudinally relative to the stopper (15) and the stopper (15) seals the liquid (L) in the chamber (14). The stopper (15) has fastening means (19) facing the vial open end (13). The adapter (30) has front (31) and rear (32) ends and an internal flow path (33) extending therethrough. The rear end (32) has a rearwardly facing hollow needle (36) with a pointed tip (37) defining the flow path (33) rear terminus, and fastening means (38). The rear end (32) is insertable into the vial open end (13) to fasten the adapter fastening means (38) to those of the stopper (15) and to penetrate the stopper (15) by the needle (36) so as to connect the chamber (14) and flow path (33). The adapter front end (31) has a forwardly facing hollow nozzle (39) defining the flow path (33) front terminus, a self-closing check valve (40) in the flow path (33) adjacent the nozzle (39), and a lock connector (45). A suction device (60) can be locked to the adapter (30) so as to open the check valve (40). Suction operation of the device (60) will cause liquid transfer from the chamber (14) via the adapter (30) to the device (60) and simultaneous compensating vial (10) movement longitudinally relative to the stopper (15) under external atmospheric pressure to reduce the chamber (14) volume by an amount generally equal to the liquid transferred. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An immunoassay method comprising applying an aqueous solution containing the analyte antigen to one end of a multi-zoned test strip device such that the solution moves along the strip by capillary action. The zones are arranged so that the solution (a) first contacts and reconstitutes dry, diffusible labelled component comprising colloidal gold conjugated to an antibody specific for said analyte antigen and then (b) contacts and reconstitutes dry, diffusible biotinylated second antibody specific for said analyte antigen such that a diffusible, dispersed sandwich reaction product forms. The reaction product diffuses along the strip with the solution and into a zone containing capture component consisting of a latex and avidin complex which avidin collects the reaction product by means of reaction with its biotin moiety. Thus, gold particles are collected and concentrated in the detection zone for visual determination.

Abstract: On décrit un appareil d'emballage de balles (10) permettant d'appliquer un film pré-étiré (11) autour d'une balle (12) à section transversale rectangulaire afin de former un emballage imperméable à l'air et à l'eau. L'appareil comprend une plate-forme (15) tournant autour d'un axe vertical (16), et une paire de rouleaux (17, 18) montés sur la plate-forme de manière à pouvoir tourner autour d'axes horizontaux (19) et sur lesquels sont acheminés des courroies lâches (20 et 21), et qui définissent une forme en auge dans laquelle la section rectangulaire de la balle peut être reçue, les  côtés supérieurs et inférieurs (22, 23) étant disposés sensiblement dans le plan horizontal. Un support (24) est monté sur le châssis (12a) et porte une bobine distributrice de film (25) et un mécanisme pré-étireuse de film (26). Après fixation de l'amorce du film à la balle par des moyens manuels ou automatiques, la rotation combinée de la balle autour d'un axe vertical (16) et autour d'un axe horizontal provoque le retrait du film et permet son emballage sensiblement hélicoïdal autour de la périphérie de la balle. Pour compenser les variations éventuelles de vitesse angulaire de la balle rotative, en raison de sa section transversale rectangulaire, (et des difficultés de son engagement uniforme avec les courroies lâches (20, 21)), on dispose un agencement de guidage (27) au-dessus d'un des rouleaux (17) pour prendre contact avec les régions de bord (28) sur les côtés plus longs de la section transversale de la balle et pour empêcher ainsi la balle de tomber sur le rouleau (17), et pour retarder la rotation angulaire de la balle. La fonction de l'agencement de guidage est donc d'agir sur la rotation de la balle lors de la chute de manière à maintenir une vitesse angulaire sensiblement uniforme pendant chaque rotation de la balle, pendant laquelle des enroulements hélicoïdaux de film sensiblement uniformes peuvent être appliqués à la balle, malgré sa section rectangulaire.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif oscillant à laser haute puissance utilisé pour la coupe d'un métal ou d'un non-métal, notamment du type émettant un faisceau de sortie à polarisation circulaire. Un miroir arrière (10) est un miroir réfléchissant du type en toit et son faîte (10a) forme un angle de π/4 avec un plan formé par les axes optiques de renvoi. Dans ce cas, le coefficient de réflexion du miroir arrière (10) sur une composante à polarisation linéaire du faisceau laser, dont le vecteur de champ électrique est parallèle au sens du faîte (10a), est supérieur à celui observé sur une composante à polarisation linéaire dont le vecteur de champ électrique est perpendiculaire audit sens. Le faisceau laser dans le résonateur est polarisé de manière linéaire dans le sens du faîte (10a) sur la trajectoire entre le miroir arrière (10) et un miroir de renvoi (11) situé le plus près du miroir arrière (10). Ce faisceau à polarisation linéaire est réfléchi par le miroir de renvoi (11). Ce dernier retarde de π/2 les phases des composantes à polarisation linéaire parallèles et perpendiculaires au faîte (10). Par conséquent, le faisceau de sortie obtenu (13) est à polarisation circulaire. La structure du dispositif s'en trouve simplifiée et sa dimension réduite. De même, son coût peut être réduit. Par ailleurs, lors de la réalisation d'opérations de coupe, la stabilité de visée du faisceau laser et les caractéristiques de coupe sont améliorées.

Abstract: An optical scanner is disclosed which, in one embodiment, uses a reflection surface on a vibrating element having at least two modes of vibration in at least two respective planes to produce an image scanning beam. Each of the modes has an associated resonant frequency and the two resonant frequencies of the vibrating element are not integer multiples of one another. In another embodiment, a reflective element used to bounce a light beam from the reflection surface back to the reflection surface to increase the angle of scanning of a light beam. The reflective element may be semitransparent which allows the scanning beam to be detected through the range of scanning to ensure proper scanning. The optical scanner is particularly useful as a hand-held bar code scanner.
