Abstract: The present invention is directed to drug dosage forms that release an agent that raises the pH of a patient's gastrointestinal tract, followed by a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The dosage form is designed so that the NSAID is not released until the intragastric pH has been raised to a safe level. The invention also encompasses methods of trating patients by administering this coordinated release gastroprotective, antiarthritic/analgesic combination unit dosage form to achieve pain and symptom relief with a reduced risk of developing gastrointestinal damage such as ulcers, erosions and hemorrhages.

Abstract: A scrubber for exhaust gases comprises a series of nested counter-flow passages including a hot plenum having a star-shaped section. Exhaust gases from the hot plenum surge through a liquid bath and flow in a reverse direction through an inclined array of flat, overlapping, spaced mixing vanes, causing turbulence in the exhaust gases and the formation of highly dispersed tiny bubbles, which enhance the solution of gaseous pollutants into the scrubbing liquid. Mist eliminator vanes strip entrained liquids from the exhaust gases. The hot plenum, reheats the exhaust gases to an unsaturated level. The scrubber is highly effective in reducing particulate matter, stripping sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide from exhaust gases, and reducing the heat signature and visual evidence thereof.

Abstract: A method and computer program product for freeing memory in a device with limited memory. A plurality of pen strokes is entered into the device, each of which is associated with one of a plurality of logical pages. Each pen stroke is stored in electronic form in the memory in association with its logical page and a recording time. According to the method, memory is freed by all the pen strokes associated with a specific logical page being deleted. The specific logical page is determined on the basis of a time at which a pen stoke associated with the logical page was recorded bz the device. The specific logical page may be determined on the basis of its most recently recorded pen stroke having been recorded earlier than the most recently recorded pen stroke of any of the other logical pages. Alternatively, specific logical page may be determined by a pen stroke associated with the specific logical page having been recorded prior to a predetermined time.
