Title: Piperidine derivative and process for producing the same
Inventor: SANO KUNIYUKI
IPC: A61P3/10
Filed: 2005-12-05
Abstract: A piperidine derivative represented by the formula (I) or a salt thereof is used as an intermediate. Due to this, a 2-cyano-4-fluoropyrrolidine derivative useful as a medicine, especially a DPP-IV inhibitor, can be efficiently produced. In particular, use of the intermediate enables the target compound to be produced through a smaller total number of steps than in conventional processes and improves the overall yield. The 2-cyano-4-fluoropyrrolidine derivative can be produced without using an ultralow-temperature reaction or a reaction necessitating strict control of water in the reaction system, which are unsuitable for industrial production. (I) [In the formula, Ms represents methanesulfonyl, Me represents methyl, and R1 represents -H, halogeno, or -OH.]

IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2006-11-16
Abstract: Turnkey maintenance of a customer's aircraft fleet is managed by a single management service provider (MSP) controlling integrated maintenance and materials services from a central operations site. The MSP converts data received directly from on-board aircraft systems into information it uses to manage maintenance service providers and parts suppliers. The MSP contracts with and manages maintenance, repair and overhaul organizations (MROs) who perform the maintenance on the customers' aircraft at line and base stations.  The MSP either remotely manages part inventories at the customer's site, or manages suppliers who deliver the parts to the MROs. Maintenance planning, scheduling and execution information is exchanged between the MSP, MROs, part suppliers and the customers through a shared data communication network controlled by the MSP. The MSP charges the customer for the maintenance services based on a flat rate per unit of aircraft flying time.
